I just picked up the GT at BestBuy for $399. The sale price is $499, but reduced to $399 if you sign up for the $20 month-to-month plan in the store. So, you're actually picking it up for $419 if you cancel your 3G after the first month.
I think the deal ends 1/29, but check out this weeks flyer. I was holding out for a better deal then the orignal $599. Granted, there's a bunch of newer tabs coming in a few months, but maybe I can wait for those tabs to come down in price too!!
I got one from Costco for $399 also. Went with them because they had a 90 days return policy. Did you have to pay the $35 Activation fee that you are supposed to get back as rebate from Verizon? Also, how can we get that $60 in movies free? Did you get that?

I dont think I got hit with an activation fee...!?! I hope not. That may be just a Verizon store activation, I think BestBuy waives activations fees.
I'm not familiar with any other bonuses or extras.
Wow. he's right. I just checked Bestbuy's weekly ad and the deal is legit. Figures, considering the fact that I just paid $400 for mine off some guy on Craigslist. I knew they were going to come down in price, I just didn't think it would be that fast. I would think that the Verizon one would require a contract at that price, but apparently not.
Did anyone actually get one of these for $399? I think I'm going to swing by today.
I just returned my iPad and got the Tab for $399.00 on Verizon at Best Buy! I could not resist! its a 14 Day return policy and i may (May) return the tab for the Xoom. Oh and there is no activation fee

Yup. I bought my tab feom bestbuy. Verizon. 399

Got mine at Costco
Yup got mine at Costco 399, no contract whatsoever. They originally activated it for the month to month plan and they told me I could call and cancel that day, I called that night and they said it required data, so instead they disconnected the line and I just disabled the vzw data, its basically a wifi tab now. No activation fee, no data charge and 90 day return policy so when new tab 2 comes out or *cough* *cough* iPad 2 who knows what might happen.
I'm new to the Galaxy Tab anyone want to point me in the direction of a good custom ROM? I'm not sure about those locked bootloaders on the GSM tabs does that affect the vzw tabs? I plan to use this in my car as a video and music device with my stereo deck, it seems to fit my radio slot perfectly. I have so far rooted and modified the WPA_Supplicant file to tether my tab to my iPhone via MyWi.
They have the Sprint version for the same price, difference is it has a White back versus the Black back of the Verizon one.
I picked up the Sprint Galaxy Tab with the 2GB $30 month to month plan. I was thinking about canceling after the first month, but I might just keep the plan.
I love this thing.
I already have the Captivate, but the screen size makes it a killer piece of hardware.
It should hold me over for a long while until the Dual Core 4G Android tablets come out, even then with the Xoom being $800, I'll pass.
That's why I bought the Verizon Tab. I passed last year when they were $599, but couldn't resist getting it for $399 at BestBuy. I sold my 32gb iPad and my Archos 70 on Craigslist for almost $600 between the two, so I'm in the (+) for $200 (=.
I'll grab one of the Android 3.0 tablets in the summer when they drop in price some. I'm sure they'll probably be on 3.1 by then only because 3.0 was redesigned from the ground up(according to Google). There's bound to be a few critical bugs and a patch or two soon after.

How did you get the Sprint Tab at $399? Where did you purchase? I'm assuming you bought it used from a third party? I picked it up from Sprint at the $299 price for the 2 year contract on the $30 plan (didn't know you could go month to month unless you bought it used off someone else).
I'm still within the 30 day return period so I'm trying to figure if it's worth it to get the Verizon Tab or just stick with Sprint. The only thing killing me is I don't want to be tied down to a contract.

Verizon offers month to month, no activation fee, 20 bucks a month for 1 gig, 399 price tag on unit. Id take that sprint one back and purchase the verizon tab. Cause you so know when the new tabs come out your not gonna wanna be tied to a 2 year contract. It'll eat ya alive
Course if im not mistaken sprint charges a 70 dollar restocking fee if you return thier tab. Seems I read that somewhere but I could be mistaken

I didn't pay it at all, Costco had me activate the service month-to-month in the the store by calling Verizon, but when I got home to cancel the service, the representative said the plan is required and I asked how do i get rid of the data then? I was told they would have to disconnect the line, and I asked if their would be any fees applied and he said there shouldn't. So long as I do not see any bill a month from now I think im safe .
3G is assigned a cell "number" so you can use 3G at the month-to-month rate. You cant receive calls with it, but you can receive text messages according to your Verizon package (which is 10 cents per msg by default i think).
There is no contract, you CAN cancel any time and YES they do need to deactivate your 3G number to cancel the service which is free.
However, if you want 3G back on it again, there may be a activation fee.

I was offered same deal on all 5 of my lines but will only take it up on one since i want to save the other upgrades for future phone releases. Only bad part is i wont get the vibrant until tuesday .
Im thinking of picking up one at tmobile tomorrow for retail price which is$439 to play with until mine comes in and then just return it, but i dont think tmobile will like that much.

He has 5 lines. Phone companies always treat people based on how much they pay a month. The more you pay on your phone bill the more likely you are to get deals and fee's waived.
Also I see this confusion a LOT. $439 vs $499. It seems the $439 price is only for current customers, or people well into their contract. The $499 is for everyone else.

Ive been with tmo for 8 years and have 5 lines so im sure that helped. Basicly all my lines are out of contract and had previous considered going to ATT for new iphone. Tmobile offered free upgrades on all lines for any phone they had at that time with all fees waived. But they didnt have the vibrant out yet, so they told me to call once it was out to see what deal i could have. I called once it became availabe and they offered to waived all fees, bump up shipping and and additional $100 credit to regular upgrade. They ended up giving me additional $135 because i mentioned my upgrade only said 164.99, which was different from their $199, so they just added $35 to match the price.
Tmobile takes care of their customers! I have no issues being on a commitment with them.
Nice ^^^

I paid $499.99
i paid 499.99 also, and i've been with t-mobile for 9 years with 4 phones.
got one offered for $429+taxes (~$460) as my early upgrade price (i bought my mt3g aug last year).
moved on to the retentions folks who brought it down to $249 + taxes, which is only $50 more than a brand new contract, i was sold on that. had them make the note on my account and picked it up in-store locally for the same price! =)
loving the phone so far, big upgrade from the mytouch3g.
can't wait to get CM6 on this baby.
btw, im having market issues currently - "download failed" error. was initially able to download a couple apps, but none now despite several reboots.

fuuuckkk so us G1 users are screwed?! my upgrade doesn't take affect till august something (got the g1 on release date) i wanted the phone for 100 bucks
i currently got an upgrade on my line for the mytouch 4g. i don't know if i should return it and buy the phone instead. being stuck two years with the data plans kinda scares me. i was on even more plus before when i had my nexus one and it felt better to know i can cancel my data plan whenever.
one of the reason i signed a contract was because i'm in a family plan with my parents. since they've already signed a two years contract, i have to wait for another two years before i can be on my own.
so i'm thinking, which one is better for me? even tho i wasn't on a contract before, i still have to wait two years for my parents contract to expired. so it basically the same thing without the data plan add on. (except they added another 5 to my account now. the data plan was only 25 dollars before. now it's 30.)
should i return the phone and just buy it outright? but i don't think tmobile sells insurance if you just buy the phone tho. it kinda risky knowing that it could break down any second.
thanks in advance.

Tmo does offer insurance. As for your plan, you could try calling and talking with customer retention and tell them you are ONLY thinking of returning it. They might offer you a deal where you return it and get one from them directly (got mine for $99, and the plan for $20).
If you got that deal and canceled down the road , you would still be better off than simply buying the phone full price now ($99 plus cancellation charge is less).
Good luck
thanks! i've just called them and the lady there was willing to put my data plan back down to 25 dollars and offered one month free of data. she seem nice and helpful, so i don't want to give her a hard time and push more.
I bought mine off contract. They give you 20 months to pay @ 0% interest.
So, if you pay the $199 + tax on the full price that is approx. $250...
I paid $450 + tax ... approx. $500
The subsidized plan that I am on would be $79/month, but I am paying only $59 with no contract... a difference of $20 a month.
My monthly phone payment is about $25/month..... buying outright is cheaper than contract pricing for the full 2 year term:
Subsidized price after 2 years = $199 price + $50 tax on full purchase price +$480 (24 x $20 more for subsidized plan) = $729 + ongoing $20 month more after 2 years that is not paying for anything... just gravy for the carrier.
Full purchase price = $450 + $50 = $500. cancel anytime. sell phone. walk away.
In addition, I also got them to give me a $90 credit on my account... basically getting the sales tax back and activation fee refunded... AND they don't start billing for the phone until 2011.
**This is of course if you stay with the same phone and plan for 2 years and you don't change your plan once your contract is up.

I've bought both my G2 and MT4G from tmobile straight up. Both are on installment plans. Sold the G2, and now debating about the MT4G. I like the fact that we can pay ~$20 a month for the phone rather than $500 out right. The only time I feel I wished I had a plan with equipment discounts is when they do BOGO, other than that, I like the cheaper monthly rates.
I still think a good price on the phone ($99-149) and plan from retention is the best (unless you have one of those vintage $4.99 plans that some are still using on N1's).
As long as you are using the phone and plan going forward, you are ahead (assuming your data plan would be either lower than your current plan or not much more). If you want to eBay it - then you would have the cancellation charge. Combined with a good phone price, you are still ahead.
And if you were going to stay with the TMo data plan anyway - you would be way ahead.
I had even considered getting TMo to unlock the MT4G (I always do), and keeping my N1 and selling it on eBay.
With it rooted, am now probably looking at eBaying the N1 and keeping this.
I went down to Tmobile to check out the Galaxy Tab out and possibly pick one up yesterday. I played with it for about 20 min and really liked it. It felt fast and worked well. I did turn flash to on-demand in the browser, and that helped a lot. I tethered it to my EVO wifi and that worked great too.
But when I wanted to buy one with out a contract they said they couldn't do that. The guy was saying that they were in limited supply and could only sell one with the 2 year contract. I called a few other stores and they either didn't get any in or were sold out. Now, it looks like Amazon is sold out too. I guess I will wait for black Friday to see if there are any deals or new tablets announced.
That sucks, my tmobile store is awesome. Its located in Visalia, CA They hooked me up. Have you tried Best Buy?
Sucks and good news at the same time. Sucks you can't buy one, great news that they sold so well that they have to reserve them for contract sales only.
That should loosen up once AT&T launches theirs, as well as the Bell Canada NAM version.

... because selling it with a plan is how the store reps earn commission. I can't imagine that they can legally refuse to sell someone an item when it is in stock... because that is essentially what they are doing.
Can't you just buy it under contract and then cancel right away? Off contract is $599, with contract is $399. They charge $200 early termination fee, so doesn't it just even out?
I looked online today and Best Buy is showing Unavailable for all the stores around here. I also thought the Tmobile one was the only one with the 16GB memory built in. Best Buy shows both with the 16GB built in. One other feature I liked about Tmobile is that they would do a prepaid 3G service. I will mostly use wifi and link to my phone, but I thought it would be good to have an option for 3G when I travel. I'll have to see if Sprint or Verizon can do a prepaid or one month plan.
It is good, that it seems to be selling well. I was also surprised I liked the size so much. I was thinking I would hold out for a 10" tablet but now really like the smaller size. Maybe an 8" would be perfect.
Buying T-Mobile Tab
My goal was to buy one without a contract and monthly charges.
All stores around me had them in stock but one store refused to sell without me committing to a plan even without a contract, another store clerk said that internet Wifi won't work without an activated 3G service and essentially refused to sell. The third store manager sold it without bogus stories, however, he also said that they sell to current T-mobile customers primarily.
Customer service said once that it should not be such conditions to sell the device, however, they also said that store managers can impose such.
The Tab works like a charm with WiFi only but has activated 3G SIM allowing to connect to T-Mobile store for ordering service in case of need.
It is very nice feature because if I need I can order and start using 3G data very quickly without calling rep or going to a store.

Yeah, they will probably charge for the first month too.
I am not in that big of a hurry, so will probably just order from amazon.
One thing to also consider because I'm in the same boat is that with being on contract you have the option of the $6 a month insurance, hard to decide since I have a second line just ready for the tab
I'm pretty sure T-Mobile is waiving the activation fee, they did for me.
Also, the T-Mobile version (and I assume the AT&T) is the only one with 16GB built-in with the addition of an available MicroSD slot which is empty. The Sprint and Verizon versions don't have the built-in memory but include a 16GB MicroSD card. That's why I picked the T-Mobile version, so I could add a 16GB card for a total of 32GB of storage.
I experienced the same thing. I went to T-mobile store yesterday tried to buy one without contract. The rep. told me even though without contract, I still have to buy a data plan. This surprised me because I have bought phone without contract and with full price previously, and this has never been a requirement. I think they do it for the commission for the rep/store; and also they try to push people into a 2 yr contract. I do not think this is legal. I think there will possibly a class action law suit against them for doing this.
Anyway, I checked with Amazon today and guess what? They have just lowered the price from $650 to $600, with roughly $6 for standard shipping and no tax. I think I will buy the tab from them. On T-mobile website today, there is no more option for buying the tab without contract.
But I do not know if I buy it from Amazon, when I activate it, will T-mobile require me to buy a data plan? Anyone know the answer?
^ You can bypass the activation screen by touching the 4 corners of the screen, starting from the top left and going in a clockwise motion.
You can just stick with using wifi if that is what you want to do. And not having to activate it.
Yes, you are right. The store and T-Mobile loses money with every product that they sell. They recoup their costs by signing you up on a contract. That is their main way of earning money.

Thanks ConceptVBS.
I also got the run-around by t-mobile stores until I said that I want it activated on prepaid. That was then apparently just as good as the month-to-month "non"contract. I don't know if its official policy or just a misinformed CSR, but worth a try. The CSR did not think of the prepaid option by herself.
Of course 30$ for 300mb/month is outrageously expensive by European standards, but since I'm in Wifi range most of the time its working out fine so far.

I find it hard to believe that they lose money by selling it at 599.- Less profit than when selling it with a contract, sure, but a loss they won't make.

and the SIM card slot in R800x, is this phone a world phone?
thanks
oh, some might interesting in about the deal.
the phone without contract is about $600 or something like that.
but Verizon offers a tricky discount, sign up their month to month $30 mobile broadband service, then the phone drop to less than $300.
and after a month, the service can cut off, I might gonna keep it, because I can use VoIP(Google voice or whatever) app via their 3G, and for my regular phone, I'm gonna get one of mine "one charge lasts 3 days" phone out.
maybe not cheap enough, but I think its alright

lolwut???
Nothing in your post makes sense to me..
Retail price of the device from a Verizon wireless store is $449.99
2 year contract price is $99.99 online and $149.99 in a store with a $50 mail in rebate.
As soon as we (Verizon Wireless Sales Representatives) scan a smart phone into the system the minimum $30 data plan automatically gets added onto the account and part of the contract is when you have a smart phone on the account you have to pay the minimum of the $30 a month for the 2GB of data. You do not have the option to keep the phone on the account without being charged that data.
As for the other option for it being put on Sprint. Last I knew Verizon and Sprint like to keep tabs of every ESN/MEID that they have on file since it is the phone that is being activated and not a simcard. So as for it being activated onto sprint you would have to re flash the phone with a working Sprint ROM but if you want to do this the phone has to be rooted which is not available yet for the R800x and the phone has th have a cooked ROM with the Sprint activation permissions installed into it.
So lets say for instance you go into the store, you sign up for the 2 year contract, thats $150 that you had to put out. Then along with that you get an activation fee and a first months bill, activation fee is $35, Minimum your bill could be with 450 minutes, unl text and 2gb data is $90 before tax,
So far you are at $150 + $90 + $35 = $275
ETF for cancelling a contract with a smart phone is $350.
$275 + $350 = $625.00 not including taxes
So... to do your plan you can either spend $600+ to do it your round about way or just $450 from VZW themselves.
Answer any questions?

What's wrong with your phone?

As the title says...
Verizon Galaxy Tab 7.7 - No Contract - $279 Certified Pre-Owned
Not too shabby, these mostly avg around $375-$400 on eBay.
You do need to purchase one month of data however, which is $40 total for 2GB.
Can drop the data after 30 days.
I found mine from a guy locally, and love the helloutta this tab!
Just spoke to a VZW rep. She said there's no data plan required. It's $279 and you don't have to activate the device at all.
Of course, we all know how much Verizon reps know...
I believe you have to add a plan when purchasing but since it's month to month you can just call and cancel it when you get the device.
also worth mentioning...
These aren't simply used, they are refurbs...for anyone like myself with issues buying refurbished.

It's $279.99 + $35 activation +$40 1 month +whatever BS taxes/fees
=
$360++
AND you have to deal with cancelling the plan after a month, make sure you don't forget, etc.
Nice scam, verizon, lol.
If anyone can figure out a way to buy without the BS activation, month to month BS, please post!

Update, I was able to buy one at a local VZW store NEW for $399. It took alot of convincing, as they were quite certain they wanted to run my credit, charge me activation and athe monthly fee. I told them I would buy it if they could just sell it straight up, but would walk if they wanted to activate/run my credit. It took the lady a while in the system, but she was able to do it.
It helps to be polite of course.
There's no reason why it needs to be activated at all.
I used my upgrade to get a Verizon Xperia Play for free last April. I use it for WiFi and to run Android things everyday without it being activated.
