I was wondering if Dell usually has any kind of deals on Black Friday or Cyber Monday. Trying to see if I should wait and see if I can get a discount, or just buy it when it releases.
It's kind of like leasing an apartment...when there are no vacancies, why give extra incentives?!
I would highly doubt that they will discount a phone that can't be kept in stock. Margins on these things are slim as it is...
Buy now. While you can. If you can.
I dont think they have sale on phones like this. especially high end devices, and this one just came out.

Hi forum. I'm earning some rewards gift cards through my employers health insurance monitoring program. I have another month and a half to go, and will end up with around $300. (it HAS to be used for a store like BBuy/amazon/target/etc. Can't get plain Visa gift card)
Anyway, I was thinking of saving it for Black friday at best buy, hoping they will carry the TF300. (don't want T700 due to wanting to run emulators + cost of higher res screen and materials) However, i'm hearing that stores are not supplying or stopping their supply of TF300 to replace with the 700. I figure the price won't drop anytime soon either.
Does anyone think stores will do doorbusters for TF300's for black friday, or will they be old inventory and pushed out by the next few months? (which obviously would mean they wouldn't carry them nationwide for doorbusters if the stock is non-existent) I would love to save money and find this for similar price to the $250 transformer on 2011 BFriday, but can't expect it 100% to happen again.
Thanks for any suggestions!
I guess I should specify that i'm looking for opinions to either wait till black friday, or buy sooner before inventory of the T300 disappears. (doubtful that there will be any big retail chain price drops before BFriday)

Anything could happen but I don't think the TF300 that would have a huge price drop. Its still one of the higher end tablets and retailers don't have any margins on them. You're probably looking at older models if any that will be discounted. I do think the tf300 price will drop pretty soon but probably not close to your $300 gift card.

That's what I thought also. I wasn't inferring that the price would get to $300 or less, I just mentioned that amount as my motivator to pick up one of these.
The wife wants and ipad, I want something android that is root/hack friendly, and is fast and has a great fan/development support. Plus the keyboard dock is tempting, i'm just not sure I can justify the extra cost just to end up using it for keyboard intensive DOS games like Tie Fighter. LOL
I've been due for an upgrade since June (Sprint OG EVO on its last leg). I was planning on getting a GS3 on a Tmobile value plan for some time but now that this awesome looking phone is out I'm pretty sure I'm going to get it. I'm just torn if I should pre-order it (when available) or not. I would really love to have a brand new Nexus 4 next week , but I'd be willing to wait a few more weeks just to save some $$$
So part of me wants to wait it out a few weeks until black friday rolls around in the hopes that there will be some good deals. Is this phone going to be too new though? Too new to not even have black friday deals?
Thoughts/opinions?
Just saw the same question asked in another thread.... sorry for posting this! please disregard...
Honestly I don't think you will find a better deal than the play store
Anything's possible, but I would doubt that they would be blowing out the N4 on Black Friday. They might throw in a PlayStore credit or something but it will only be out for less than two weeks.
I'm not waiting...
If you look at all the past Nexus Phones I don't think you'll find any Black Friday deals or any sales on them at all. Don't get the play store stuff mixed up with retailers like the Nexus 7. N7 Sales were the work of the stores, not the Play Store. This phone will only be sold via T-Mobile at an inflated price.
I heard buy 1 get 1 free but only at the google play b&m store and only for the first 100 people standing in line.

Best Buy has now put its signage in place for the HTC One, reminding us all that the new HTC flagship is right around the corner. With the One, HTC is hoping to finally reclaim some lost customers and turn things around. The once leading Android phone manufacturer has been struggling to remain profitable for quite some time now, due to increasing pressure from rival Samsung. The HTC One smartphone represents the company's return to its core strengths like premium design quality and diversified user experience. Thankfully, we won't have to wait long to see how things will develop, as both the One and its upcoming rival, the Samsung Galaxy S IV will launch very soon.

The sign says preorder today, nothing on their website though. It would be nice to know their contract and off-contract prices so if anyone hears anything please report. I'm almost half way through my 2yr contract with my Sprint EVO LTE so correct me if I'm wrong but I believe I have to buy off-contract. I might consider buying from BB and buying their buyback deal where they give you more for your phone when you upgrade.

Looks like Pre-Orders will appear soon on AT&T since the One X+ price went down from 199 to $99.
http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/devices/htc/one-xplus-carbon-black.html#fbid=N25srQ_JlvO
i read somewhere that Best Buy employees were advised to take down that Pre Order sign because they aren't doing them yet...
If they are getting all this promo stuff in then the pre-orders should start either this week or next week.. i don't see them accepting pre-orders for only 2 days then releasing a device..
i highly doubt AT&T will release the HTC One the same day they are releasing the Blackberry Z10 on March 22nd.. knowing how bad blackberry needs attention
I am in on the pixel 2 XL 128GB.. I really want a google unlocked version so I can root it I ever choose to do so, but if Verizon has a great deal that saves me $500 or so, I’d just take that one. Rooting capability isn’t worth that much to me. Right now Verizon has a 1/2 off deal if you trade in certain phone. One is a motor z force, so I picked one up on eBay just to trade in. It was $150. After all the trade in and taxes I’d end up saving only $280 or so, but still that’s a lot. The half you save is reimbursed which I’m not crazy about either. This sale expires Saturday. I still haven’t seen any Black Friday leaks on this phone. Should I take the chance and wait for next week to see if there is an online BF deal for half off? Last year I think there was some confusion on whether that deal actually included the XL. Not crazy about the reimbursement pry either. That makes me wonder if I should just get it from google. Is there any chance google will have a deal?

I bought a 2 XL at Verizon yesterday, he had no info, but said he doubted black Friday would bring a deal better than the one available now.
So needless to say ya won’t be rooting?
Last year they had half off and you didn’t have to trade in. With all the flack the phone has been taking i wondered if they’d have the same or better deal. Wondering if I should just get a note 8
I'm waiting.. my iPhone 7+ was already worth $425 when I asked them last, and that was pure trade in credit. I can sell it on my own for more and would probably prefer to hold onto it incase I have to return and re-activate it. I could see a BOGO deal setup for BF.
Well I have an old galaxy s4 that isn’t worth anything. I can’t trade it in because it’s too old, and I can’t sell it for much either. I bought this z force to trade in. Seems like a good phone. All the software seems like the pixel 2’s. The cameras don’t seem any better than my s4’s though, and that’s disappointing. As is with all motorola’s, the battery life seems HORENDOUS to the point of being laughable.
Any other input?
Now I feel really dumb. I fell for the pre-order rush to get a $200 discount which I used for Samsung extra's I didn't really need or want. This is less than a month after official release. I would have preferred to just save the extra $200. I wonder if the same thing will happen with the S7+ which I have on pre-order.

The trade-in value for my Note 10+ & the $200.00 made it worthwhile for me. I didn't see any trade-in offer with your link.

us early adopters already picked up the unit like we always do. by hook or crook us early adopters will eat ramen noodles or whatever it takes to be among the first to get these toys.
but now , with the world still reeling from a global pandemic, lots of regular common folk don't have disposable income for a $1000+ dollar phone, hence samsung reducing the price. its a smart move and remember, samsung are in business to turn a profit, not make us early adopters feel good about our purchase.
$250 off at Best Buy and it looks like they're still honoring trade-ins.

I completely agree with you. Early adopters know what pitfalls they are in for. Whether early software bugs or full retail price at launch, there is a cost associated with being first to the table. I feel no remorse about jumping in head first, do so every year. Sammy is out to make a profit and they got my sold without saying much.

Lmao you're like me, Samsung has me opening my wallet every year and they don't even have to do much. I always trade in so it never really hurts me because I put 50 dollars a month away towards the next phone and just put 50 dollars into the savings account on the 1st just this month when I pay most of my bills. There's some of us who just have to be first in line and we could care less about the price usually but I could see how it would bother some people though because when I was ordering at the time I wanted to see what the price was without the trade in and the phone itself was 1,299 without the military discount and after taxes it was almost 1,500 dollars so I'm guessing not many people have that much to dump right now. All in all it was worth it to me I love this thing but there's too many people nit picking about stupid crap such as the battery but with the speed this thing charges at its like no big deal.

I'm not entirely mad myself. It happens with tech, even video games. discounts happen due to poor first month or first week sales. I still made out with the sudo BOGO($1000 off 2nd phone) deal with Verizon since I switch both my lines. Then again we'll see in the next few weeks how much the gap closes in on me.
If you received yours late and are still in the 14 day window you can price match. I received mine last week and with the new 200$ off pricing I was able to price match to Best buy for an additional refund. I believe the item has to ship, but you simply go to chat and let them know that you would like to price match to best buy's 200$ off price. They will ask for a link directly to your exact model of N20U and once you provide that they approved my price match. 2 Hours later I received a notification of refund. I ended up getting an even better deal by getting it late. All discounts, free accessories, cancel credit and price match!
Samsung will price match Best buy. I got $200 credited back which after education discount, trade in, and cash back, I am around $700 out the door for 512 GB note 20 ultra

Got my email saying $214 would be credited to my account. Thank you op!
Combine this with the great price they gave me for my wife's pixel 3a plus the first responders discount and I feel pretty good
Anyone have any luck price matching past 14 days? I'll try tomorrow and see if Samsung will, doubtful, but doesn't hurt to try right?

You shouldn't feel any type of way about it. It's the enthusiast tax. If you want it on release date with the earbuds to boot it's OK to pay a $200 premium. Worst case just sell your buds live and recoup most of your money if it makes you feel better :cyclops:

I'm guessing the price match only works for the unlocked models and not the carrier models correct?
