Well...
That depends, if you don´t care about the $ g for it!
But if you want to pay less wait 1 month and sure you´ll find it a better $
Good luck,
same
i agree, if u really want this phone buy it or if u have alot of patients wait for little while (same like me )
Actually I don't believe it will get a LOT cheaper. Maybe some 50 Euro but not more. Mtel sells it in Bulgaria to new or Club customers (more than 6 months on the network) for roughly 560 Euro incl. VAT. Knowing their business practices and also knowing that they don't have the habit to subsidize phones I guess that they got it from HTC at around 500 Euro.
before experia1 was more expensive, but now it seem its price drop down leaving HD the expensive one.

Selling my HTC Wildfire

I want to sell my HTC Wildfire
Bought Saturday 09 October 2010 - five days ago
Paid 299€ | 264£
Resell Price 240€ | 211,50 £
+ Shipping Price 10€ | 8,8 £
The Phone is new so don't bother ask if it's damaged, used 2 days.
If interested contact me with private messages
Payment method accepted : Paypal
The item will be shipped the day after the receivement of the payment.
Dave.
You'll have trouble selling at that price. They cost £200 new.
If I had paid 200£ for it I would sell it for less, but I actually paid it 299€ so, it's barely impossible for me to sell it for less.
The Phone is without contract, so every SIM can be used, I don't actually pretend to sell it, but I try, if someone is interested I'm here ^^
Dave
Why did you buy it?
It seemed to be the phone for me.
But actually does not meet my needs.
It's a bit too slow and sluggish for what I need.
A better android version can resolve the speed issues (if the 2.2 really brings a 2x to 5x faster performance) but I don't actually trust HTC for this update, and "stock marketing e-mail replies" are never something good.
To say it briefly, I tried it, i does not meet my needs. And it seems it will never meet them

Haha, so your saying that if you buy it overpriced then you can take more for it then the acual new price? That pure idiocy, it like if you were to buy a
HTC desire for 600€ and then selling it for 550€ just because you paid a overprice for it then the original 400€.
well all you UK tesco fans, you can now get it for £179.99 with £20 free topup.
makes me a little sick in my mouth when i think of what i paid for it a few weeks back lol

Not in every country it cost the same ^^
Actually here the retail price is 299 - 270 € (Without brand or contract) . So I think someone can be interested.
Same thing for the desire, here it is 499 - 479.
Maybe it's more convenient in your country, but here it's not a crazy price ^^
Dave.
I brought the phone back to the store, willing to permute and buy an HTC Legend.
I discovered that the unit was defective, and it was much slower than the others in the store, what doesn't worked , I have no idea.
The only thing I know is that now I have a new HTC Wildfire (Brown and not White as before, shame) and work much better, no 3D obviously, but the sense now is smooth and the touchscreen reply faster.
No Reason to sell this now xD
Admins can close the topic.
Dave

Outright price?

Is it going to be around $650 outright? I have a Nexus 4 which is on its way but might switch to the S4 if it's around $400
I doubt the SIV will be 400$
but hopefully less than 700 since that's my parents current budget lol
(or else I'll have to buy it when the price drops)
it's most likely going to be at the 650-700 range for outright,
maybe like 299 on contract.
I think everyone and their mother would buy one outright if it was $400. I'd be first in line. I would guess at least $700
Even the nexus 4 costs more than 400 outside the play store lol.
EDIT:
First lot of 2 GT-I9500 for US $1375:

Buy it now sells 1 @ US $830-840 (16 - 64 GB) w/ free shipping.
Buy it now guy also selling 20 64 GB for $10,000 and many other deals.
Here's a new one buy it now from the UK, a 64 GB for US $752 or GBP 500: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...ntageCostumeJewellery_CA&hash=item4d0a0e7d18c Note the picture though and the description says "Main Stone: Rhinestone", LOL.
I was sure any early ones would be at least $1k, but guess I was wrong. Maybe more in the $600-$800 range ?
The auctions were UK and buy it now is US. I've heard GT-I9500 (these) were selling in China already.
Is the GS4 already a relative flop, compared to expectations ? More of an incremental upgrade from the S3 ? S3 will get many software features. Is no LTE an issue on International version ?
BTW, I've bought about 20 phones in the last few years, for app testing, and most were from EBay. China or Hong Kong are usually well priced sources for most phones these days. I usually buy from a vendor that has better ratings 99+% and charges $10 more though.
WTF
where do you guys live expecting the GS4 to be 600 dollars outright?
Here in Australia, the GS3 was close to 800 outright, so I assume the GS4 will be around that same price...
Ayee, then again Australia always gets the short end of the stick,,
It'll be like $300/$350 with a contract and $600/$650 without most likely.
My guess.

Note 3 for Full No Commitment Price?

Do you guys think the Note 3 is worth getting at $725? I don't have an upgrade, but am really want to get the Note 3..
That's a super hefty price for just a phone! I don't think it's worth it. Maybe at $500? I'd take it.
lol
This phone costs 1000 usd in norway and im still getting it ! Cant wait for it to get release since my note 2 got stolen and i got back on insurance

It's not just a phone, it's a power house! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2438466
However, its initial price is indeed abusive anyway.
I would suggest waiting a couple of months till prices settle a little.
And if you still think price remains abusive, set you eyes on a Note 2 which is going to be 30/40% cheaper in comparison and it's a GREAT phone ( I have it)
You gonna have 2 choices:
1) Note 3 State-of-the-art phone but quite expensive
or
2) Note 2 an excellent phone nevertheless and way cheaper
:good:
Yes its just not a phone, it is a phablet. But anyways my justification is that I just sold my HTC One and will be selling my S4 for a combined total of 750. So I'm basically trading two phones for one. Also I saw that m4sta2k was going to buy it for $1000!! which makes my purchase alittle bit better. ha.

I dont know about the Note 2 being way cheaper. I remember paying full price last year ($650) and its currently $704 on AT&T's site. I guess its success caused a price increase. I can see it going down a little but not much. I would love to get the Note 3 but I really love my Note 2. Hoping to get the 4.3 update and some other goodies in the update before the end of the year or I just may get the Note 3.

Well, I can only talk about how things go over here ( Holland ) and about sim lock free phones ( no plan/contract)
The Note2 is already around 100 euros cheaper ( 132$) than one year ago costing around 560$ at my favorite webshop
It will get even cheaper after Note3's sales warm up
Anyway I will be visiting NY next month and gonna check some gagdets prices in places such as B&H ...

700+ is the usual price, it was the same for my note 1 and note 2 upgrade

i just dropped $745 on mine off contract from verizon
I can beat that price, but not by much.
T-Mo is selling it for $703.99 full retail.
http://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phones/samsung-galaxy-note-3.html
I know this is an off contract price but I'm not sure it's an unlocked device.
Cheapest UK price I've seen is from Handtec, where I got my Note 2 from when that was released. It's currently 586 then a fiver postage, I'm literally on the site now about to place the order, but reluctant to until I know which variant is gonna see the most community activity, 3G or LTE.
As the the ones listed on, Expansys, Handtec, Clove etc are all LTE, looks like my decision had been made for me but would still love to know what version is gonna sell more.
How tough is to buy a phone without contract (simlock free) in the US ?

You're not beating the price. He meant with tax included. It's $699.99 and you don't have to pay for the SIM with Verizon. Neither phone is unlocked.

This is still better than ATT&T at $725+tax

That's a rip off to pay that much and your device and not be unlocked.
True you could probably hack around and unlock lock it, but it's the principle.
It does not pay to be first when it comes to electronics.

While I would have liked to have seen it come in at $499 and $549, I agree that $549 isn't unreasonable.
I don't understand, when it was thought to be $499, EVERYONE was like " oh yeah, it's mine" and "take my money" but all of a sudden it it $50 more expensive and everyone is like "oh hell no, no way Samsung you aren't going to rip me off"
Doesn't make much sense to me that $50 would make that big of a deal but hell what do I know. All I know is I still plan on getting it!:good:
Yeah, I would have obviously been happier with a lower price point. But when the new Nexus 7 came out and it had a small price bump, it was a pretty reasonable thing to do. I'll definitely be getting one at release.
Yes I was expecting 499$ too .... What a shame, I'm still getting it tho

Couldn't agree more.
This was never marketed as a budget/low-cost tablet. This is the (as far as I know) top-of-the-line Android tablet for the foreseeable future. I'm pleased to see it start that low. Heck, I know that's already a lot cheaper than the Note 3 I bought, lol.
If they will do the convert Dollar -> Euro, in italy the note will cost 449€.
But i think they will sell this at 599€...

The 16GB Wi-Fi version will be available for purchase at $549.99 / €408 while the 32GB Wi-Fi version will be priced $599.99 / €445. Both versions can be ordered directly from Samsung or Best Buy, Amazon or Walmart and others.

Well the comparable closet high Android tablet is Sony Xperia Z Tablet with S4 Pro quad core CPU and 2 GB ram and only 1080p display which is selling for £399.
Note 10.1 on the other hand has better CPU, more RAM, better (or at least sharper) display and Wacom digitizer, I can't see how can it could be same price or cheaper then Sony.
It's pricey but that's this the only android tablet with pen function, so we don't have the luxury for shopping around for cheaper price.
The same reason old Note 10.1 never really came down in price.

Please don't post if you can't bother to format or spell correctly.
This price does indeed suck. Samsung seems to overprice and make us wait for sales. Problem is that online purchases will be taxed soon inside the us. The note 8.0 was priced 399 us dollars at launch but can be had on sale or refurbished at 299 and below which isn't too bad. 499 and I probably would've just bought it at Newegg right away but I'll wait on reviews and some custom roms first. Hopefully someplace will have it for at least $449 tax-free before the stupid Internet tax hits.
