That is really a great price for the device. I paid more than Amazon's listed price just a month ago for my 7500.

Cheaper yesterday....
I have been tracking this soon to be selling item and yesterday it popped up for 799.00 from Amazon itself and 1400 bucks from mobilesityonline.com. In the afternoon, it refreshed the web page and claimed it was not in stock but will be soon. This morning i checked just for the heck of it and sure enuff its at a higher price but a good deal nonetheless. So Im not sure what happened here if they found out the price was too good to be true they had to ramp it up to milk a little more or what. I hope this isnt a bad trend they are getting into here.

$799 is even close to what MobilePlanet/Expansys charges for X7500 with $40/mo T-Mobile USA 2-Year contract.

I just remember that I paid more than $799 for a XDA II (Himalaya) 3.5 years ago.

Yeah I'm very interested in this. Is it confirmed that Amazon will start shipping around August 1st?

This one with the WM5. T Mobile is on Germany offering far better deals than that with a 2-year contract.

Yes, that's why I said it is 7500 (which is upgradeable to WM6 and comes with two cameras)
The one on Amazon is 7501.
CompUSA also has 7501 on their website now.

Tab price slashed (again) in UK.

News today that Tesco (Kind of a UK grocery store/Wallymart) Has cut the price of the Tab. Again. Was 449. Now 359.20. No contract. Unlocked.
http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.210-9724.aspx

Doh!!!!! I paid 429 for myne

I think it is part of a promotion where they pay the VAT as similar discounts are available on loads of computer and phone stuff.
BTW it also appears to apply in store too as I got mine there yesterday.

gutted, I paid £550 for mine from Comet and I'm paying monthly for it so I still have about £549 to go!

damn. thankfully I love the tab, but it sucks knowing that it has dropped from £499 to £359 in just 3 months after launch... Maybe they should offer the early-birds some incentive when the next version of the tab is being released later this year. I'm now not making the same mistake and will wait a few months before upgrading...

i just about bought one today but was unsure if they were unlocked or not.
no staff on hand to ask either

Mine was free!
(ok so i straight swapped my Desire HD to get it, but no money changed hands )

Thanks to a salesperson not connecting the sim and me keeping quiet i got a tab for free! Unlocked and unbranded goodness for nowt lol.

just in case anyone is still after a tab, your best deal right now is to get it online with best buy via quidco. they are matching the £359 price, throwing in a free 16GB sd card and with quidco you get 10% off right now. not too bad!

This is an unbelievable price for a fantastic piece of kit! I'm still happy that I bought mine in December last year, but woudl have liked to save the 100 quid!!!

Just spotted that Amazon UK have dropped the price again to £341.24!

Best deal...who's selling the note for less?

I'll be getting this phone with in the next month, but I was curious what outlets you guys are aware of that are selling the phone.
I saw it on amazon 2 weeks ago for $900.00. Today its around $700, but I wanted to know if you guys knew of anywhere with even better deals.
It's a long shot I know, but I figure it is worth asking. Thanks

I would like to know this too. Seems the 'Hands Down Cheapest Place to Buy' thread is dead
Every day I scour XDA, Google, Ebay, etc looking for prices. I'm in Canada. With taxes,etc I think I'm looking at about $800 more or less (can anyone confirm that?). I think after Christmas I may go for this price but ideally I'm looking to pay about $700 more or less total. Then I'm worried about screen issues or a dead pixel which happened with the Nexus One I ordered from the States so I don't really want to ship it back overseas if this happens which it may judging by other threads...
So I'm looking for it to come down about another $100 but dont know if/when this will happen.
And ideally would like it to be released in Canada or even the US so I don't have to get it shipped which may lower that cost? But don't know if or when that will happen.
Then there is the fear that Samsung will discontinue it and I'll never get one or the prices will shoot up or something?

http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.php/5504/samsung-galaxy-note--16gb--sim-free-unlocked-
About $670 without VAT. From what I've seen in other threads, it doesn't apply if you're outside the EU. I think that might take the cake as the cheapest?
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galax...RDX6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1322262246&sr=8-1
Also Amazon has a couple different sellers with the SGN in stock. Around low 700-750s. Most of these are in the US which would be better in case of a defect.

I ordered mine from HandTec when they had it listed briefly for £418.99 plus £14.99 shipping, for a total of £433.98, (which PayPal converted to $697.46), but HandTec has put the price back to £434.90 + shipping since I ordered. May still be the best price, however.
OTOH, Amazon now has a Prime 2-day shipping seller for $739. I'd pay the extra $40 or so bucks to have Amazon peace of mind if I had seen a price that good 4 days ago.

The new issue with handtec is that fedex will charge you 30 $ 1-2weeks after u get the phone

So because I'm in Canada I'm looking at around $800
But if I was in the US or UK I'd be looking at around $700

Ditto . . . .

Hands Down Cheapest...
Well I still think Clove.co.uk is the best place to buy at this time simply because they're including a matching Samsung OEM Flip Case free! Also, being a commodity and having the price fluxuate by the hour (literally) keep checking MobileCityOnline.com too!
These two places at one point during the day can hit anywhere from $699 - $729 at the absolute lowest. But keep in mind Clove.co.uk INCLUDES the free Samsung OEM Flip Case. For some that's a deal maker plus most other outlets are selling this same flip case for $65 on average.
That is why if you catch Clove on the lower end of price fluxuation it's such a good deal. You won't go wrong choosing either one of these retailers that's the good news. The only possible bad news is at what price you'll end up paying for your Note.
Anyway you do it - your going to LOVE THIS PHABLET!
Abso - ****ing - lutly love it... quote me on that too.
Happy Hunting boys and girls.

Charge $30 for what? FedEx hasn't charged me anything in the States for ordering from Handtec.

By far cheapest place to buy this phone is from India.
You get this phone for about US$ 615-620 range which includes official Samsung flip cover in the package.
If there is significant interest from people in states or UK, some of you guys can get in touch with some ebay.in sellers with good reputation and request him for shipping quote and get him to create a special thread for you guys.
Last time around with SGS2 couple of my mates from US requested a seller from ebay india this way and got him to create a private listing for them and got their SGS2.
Or if you guys trust someone from India around here in these forums, get him to purchase phones and paypal the funds to him.
Note is significantly cheaper here than anywhere else from what I have seen online.

that is a very expensive contract.
Especially taking into account the low amount of minutes and data you get.
Also paying £200 for the phone on top of the £720 is a big slap in the face...
return it and get a 'bigger' contract for less and also only pay a max. of £50 for handset

Great price for the Note from a dealer here in the US. Thanks!
Also don't forget to combine the 2% cashback for Expansys-USA through Fatwallet making it $681.

Darn! Can only select New Zealand or Australia for shipping.
Waiting, waiting, waiting for the price to come down a bit as I'm willing to pay a bit over $700 here in Canada total with shipping, tax, etc. but not willing to pay a over $800!! Just seems like too much...
I had a dream last night I was using my GNote & loving it... maybe the universe is trying to tell me to just order the darn thing

$599 shipped New Egg till 11/27

With used N7100s selling for over $600 on Ebay and a dearth of them on the closing marketplace here, I think it will be awhile for prices to drop into the $500-$550 range. I pulled the trigger on one. New Egg has a 30 day return policy and ships quickly. I buy all my PC building parts from them.
Samsung Galaxy Note II N7100 Titanium Gray 3G Unlocked Cell Phone w/ 5.5" Super AMOLED Touch Screen / Bluetooth 4.0

And then you go to pay, and they say the device may be manually unlocked with scratches...
I didn't order, and bought for 550$ from eBay.

The N7100 does not have to be "manually unlocked"
That is for US carrier phones that need to be PHYSICALLY unlocked! LOL Its a disclaimer that does not apply to already factory unlocked phones. and with a 14 day no questions asked return policy, there is not much risk taking here. NewEgg is a very reputable online store.
The only phone on Ebay for $550 was or is a used white one missing accessories. I did not see any new devices selling for $550. I would have bought it if it was a US company.
ALL unlocked phone sellers should have that disclaimer.

There was a black friday deal on ebay for a BRAND NEW Galaxy Note 2. for $550. They sold 1,000.
see if this link works for you, its an expired listing now. but u might still be able to view it.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/35064879333...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

I think newegg.com extended the sale to 11/27/2012

I purchased mine from Newegg, beginning of November when they had it on sale for $589. It was brand new in the box and runs SWEET!

I jumped on the $49 with rebate Tmobile deal. TMobile screwed up soooo badly that online orders got canceled and my phone order didn't get processed till after the deal was closed in their system. So as result they manually gave the deal, $49 and I do not have to do the mail in rebate. So not bad, I can get the phone for $49 + $200 etf + $63 for the month of service. Wish I had ordered 3 more.

I am sure and in January maybe $500 LOL At some point I had to jump. Anything less than used pricing was good enough. $550 would have been great. But My Note is on Ebay now and that would be worth less as the Note II goes down so it's a wash going forward. But yeah $550 would have been sweet considering the used ones are selling for new prices on Ebay. Crazy! I am curious what my blemished Note will bring. Its at $290 I had a BIN price pf $350 with 32GB SD Card. But that's gone with the first bid. 5 day auction so it won't be active until later this week.

Samsung promotion

I didn't see this here so I thought I would post it.
https://samsunggalaxypromotions.com/Note4
I wonder if it will work if I upgrade through Amazon... But trade an old phone through Best Buy?

Last time I bought my note 2 at best buy they price matched amazon with a sprint contract. (They also price matched an otterbox and samsung SD card to amazon.com) which saved me over $125 on price matching alone. As long as the product is shipped and sold by amazon.com and not a 3rd party seller.
My local best buy(Knoxville, TN) told me they are going to sell it there on all carriers for $299 even sprint
i would try either of those options before risking samsung not giving you any money top make up to $200. If they price match as they say you will only pay $99.99 for it at best buy.

Yeah and it seems you have to buy and trade in from the same store.
I didn't realize best buy would price match Amazon and I was buying a case and screen protector through Amazon anyway, I pre ordered through Amazon.

I'm sure amazon has not charged you for the phone. Cancel that order and head to best buy and pre-order. Seems they are not getting a lot of orders the best buy in my large city of Knoxville tn had only had 6 pre-orders total on all carriers including mine as of Monday so I'm sure they are still doing pre-orders about everywhere.
Or if you don't need the phone would were going to trade in go ahead and trade it in and try to see what happens can't hurt if you don't need the phone. On the link it never says you have to trade in on same retailer it says:
1. Pre-order note 4
2. Trade in old device at any participating retailer
3. Upload pre-order and trade in receipts to samsung.com/ xxxxxxxxx (can't remember exact site but it seems it may work.) Contact samsung customer service see what they say

When does it get released.

I specifically asked my local best buy if they would price match the note 4 with Amazon and they said no. Only price match to Sprint stores, not even other retailers like Target etc.

Forgive me I was a bit confused.
Do I have to buy the phone at best buy?
Is this only for the sprint version?
Thank You

From the looks of this I should be able to get 200 credit for my Epic? Or am I delusional?
*** Just went to try the pre-order on Amazon, and it seems it wont allow me to keep my current unlimited data plan.. WTF.

Took the GF to BB today and was told corporate sez they have reached the limit for phones available for pre order through BB store's. She was unable to pre order one with the promo's. WTF?
Lucky I ordered mine a couple of days ago. Sheesh...

I tried last week to order the black model and got the same response. The white version was available, but I don't think I could handle having a white phone, even if am going to get a case for it at some point (if I get I get the phone at all)

I was told today that the stores cannot pre-order anymore, but I was able to online. Now I plan on going to store to see if they will honor the trade-in promo, since it says in stores only

My Pre Order Experience
Today:
Went to BB, was able to pre order the Note 4 and traded in a Samsung S2 US Cellular
Was given an instant $25 gift card for the Samsung and then will receive $175 Instant rebate at time of purchase.
I was told to pick up the phone on 10/16 after 10AM
Price match to amazon was accepted.
Also applied for an additional Best Buy CC, which is an auto decline without a credit run because I already have the card and they gave me an additional $20 off for that,
At the end:
$300 Phone - Price Match
$200 Gift Card
$20 Credit
$40 Gift Certs
10% coupon
-------
$30 Balance
Love you BB

Just thought I would add that it is any store, online or physical that is accepting pre orders according to the Samsung faq on the promotion. I pre ordered through sprint and will fill out the form through Samsung Web site.
