Simple question and I'm lost on it:
Where can I find a Touch HD for the lowest price in the US? The lack of US 3G doesn't matter to me (I live in an EDGE area) and I'd like something nice to replace this half-baked RAZR.
Try mobilecityonline.com or j&R.com
both are located in NY and have good rep

I would suggest mobilecityonline, as J&R will NOT let you return a phone unless it is seriously defective. Mobilecityonline takes returns within 14 days and a 10% restock fee. they also tend to have much lower prices than J&R and just about everyone else.
I bought mine from this seller on e-bay
http://stores.ebay.com/x1387_Panasonic-LG-Other-Brands_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZQ2d1QQfsubZ3QQftidZ2QQtZkm
came with a 8GB card / screen protector / desk pad / etc.
I also got free next day shipping from Hong Kong. First class service.
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

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!

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
What is with Samsung's delays on being able to supply their OEM car docks and other items for new model phones?
It was months before I could track down a genuine car dock for my SGS2, and it's still nigh impossible to find one for the Note.
Does anyone know somewere that'll ship internationally that has these in stock (eBay doesn't count - people insist on outrageously expensive shipping method).
Is there a good reason for these huge delays? The Samsung MHL adaptor took a good couple of months before it was available anywhere after the SGS2 release too.
I know you said you don't like ebay (New Zealand?) - but can you buy through ebay Australia? I bought mine for $53 AUD through ebay Australia with free shipping worldwide from this guy about 1 month ago:
ebay.com.au/itm/Genuine-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-Car-Mount-Vehicle-Dock-Kit-Charger-Holder-Navigation-/260946619201?pt=AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item3cc1a16b41#shId
I just went to the site to check and was able to change the post to New Zealand.
It shouldn't be much more when converted to NZ dollars. It took about 2 weeks though to ship though!
I got my official samsung car dock in January from
Amazon UK, just had a quick look, stocks seem fine...
www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Vehicle-Do...D3FW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1334440833&sr=8-1
Where are you based? I'd be happy to help order one and forward it on, guess you'd still have long shipping times... It might be worth contacting some of the sellers on amazon UK, I'm certain they'd offer international postage.
It's a damn good dock by the way. Guess the only drawback is can't have case on, and getting it out is sometimes a bit fiddly. Sturdy as he'll though, absolutely no shake whatsoever, and suction is very strong.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
I hadn't even thought of looking on Amazon UK, Amazon USA generally don't ship that sort of thing to NZ, UK appears to be happy to though.
I'll check out that bloke on eBay, free shipping makes it a bit of a no-brainer as that's half the price of ordering it from Clove. Given that I've waited for over 2 months for it to ship from them so far, another 2 weeks won't hurt.
Cheers guys!
Have you seen this price?
Best price I have seen for the 32G and also the dock.
Best Buy will also price match.

I picked mine up at Best Buy for $350. Blue. Amazon has the dock for $128.
Man you guys got your Tf300T's pretty cheap. I got mine at Singapore when it first came out. Costed me roughly $580 for the tablet and the dock
That is an awesome price, holy cow! I got mine from Best Buy for I think $380 for the Tablet and $110 for the dock, but that was after my employee discount. I will ask my manager tomorrow if they can price match AND apply the discount, that would be swwwweeeeet!
Thanks for posting this
Does best buy even offer price matching? I tried to talk the salesman about how it's on Amazon, newegg and other websites cheaper but he didn't seem to know anything and I just picked it up for their price. Didn't want to wait and possibly pay for shipping. I will look for deals on the keyboard dock though. That I can wait a bit on.
Price Match
Print the add (posted above) or hard copy from the paper. Go to the Best Buy help desk and tell them you just bought this and Office Max now has it for <$
If you have a Best Buy in town you must have an Office Max, even if the Office Max does not have them in the store they offer ship to store for free.
Now go and save some bucks. Also, go to Best Buy website and print their Price Match Guarantee (have it in your hands to read) they know about it. Staples will also match it.
Good luck
I'm getting mine Thursday (32gb with the dock) for £360.

I stumbled upon this deal this morning while researching tables. I was going to get the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 until I read the Engadget and CNet reviews. Found out this one is much better. I was at work and called the store to have them hold one for me this I got off work. When I got there they told me that I got the last one and other customers were upset that I has one on hold.
Anyway, I go mine for $377.11 with tax and the keyboard dock for $107.74 with tax. The didn't have the keyboard dock so it is be shipped from another store. I should have it with two or three days.
Hey I just want to thank the OP for this. I printed out the ad, took it to Best Buy, and got $54.25 back. Needed the money too. Thanks
Yeah, just my two cents - I too price matched with Best Buy (my brother visiting from Ireland had bought this at Best Buy a couple of weeks ago). I ended up buying it myself from officemax and then we price matched his at best buy! They were all confused as honestly, I don't think anyone ever takes them up on their offer! But $54 is $54!! ;-)
Office Max TF300t Dock
Appears that Office Max has pulled the TF300t Dock from their web site. Sold out!
At that price I can see why. But not sure why they can't offfer a raincheck. If they did not do their research on what a good deal this was then shame on them. They knew it because of the way they presented it in their flyer. Best Buy had thousand of back orders at Christmas on the TF201 and honored them all. Even gave free docking stations based on the lack of Christmas delivery. Guys argue and hold them to it!
I got the tablet and dock at Best Buy yesterday. They matched the tablet since in stock in local stores, but would not match the keyboard. I went ahead and also got the keyboard from Best Buy hoping the keyboard would be in stock this week at OM to price match.
Then I decided to go ahead and order the keyboard from OM yesterday, since expected them to run out and not get any in store this week.
The dock shipped last night and I will take the other dock back to BB when I get it. Total price for tablet and dock was same price as the A510 and Excite.
just bought my tpad tf300t for $320 at my local best buy! It was a must but when i saw it. The device was pre owned and the box was opened but everything else wasnt touched at all. the device wasnt even turned on.
I keep looking for open box but none around me have any
There will be a tablet and dock in Kentucky tomorrow if my dock is dead and the tablet almost dead while left in sleep mode again. I have had this happen twice in a row and both times the device was restarted, no third party apps used and push notifications disabled.
Shame since got both for $450, but usless to me if the dock and tablet do not behave well together. I have not rooted, so a stock device should not be doing this.
The Excite also had a battery bleed issue while asleep, but 12%, not almost the whole thing (dock too). The A510 did not have the problem, but gets too hot during use.

Haha, yes. I called best buy to see if they would price match a white online one for a blue office max one and the answer was no.
Thanks for this thread & the information. I have done my research and am ready to pull the trigger on purchasing this TF300 tablet. A couple of questions:
I have a BestBuy in a local town about 20 minutes away from me and there is an OfficeMax in that same local. Online, the OfficeMax of course says "Backordered" in this particular store when I search for it. The BestBuy shows it in stock, however I haven't called them to verify yet.
I see BestBuy also has the 16gb model at a similar price to the 32gb that is on sale at OfficeMax.
Will they try to play this off as being that one and thus not be inclined to give me the "price match" offer?
Should I ask them over the phone about the "price match" when calling to verify they actually have the 32gb in stock before making the trip OR would it be best to just show up with the Ad?
Is a salesman the person I present the ad to OR should I just walk in and go to the customer service desk with it?
Sorry for the goofy questions, just trying to have both ores in the water so I have the best chance at getting this accomplished.
I have scouring Gamestop, Best Buy, Amazon, etc. and most places are either out of stock or selling at premium (Amazon 3rd party seller is selling at $340+).
I have thought about ordering from Nvidia directly, but they have high shipping cost AND I am not sure if they have it in stock themselves. I mean, if they are not going to deliver in 2-3 weeks, I rather go with Best Buy because they have the same delivery timeline but I got 10% cashback.
So if you just recently bought the tablet, can you share where did you get it from?

I really wish NVidia would do more to market this... they're going to become the HTC of tablets... good products, no marketing support, and therefore no market share. And when nobody's buying the products, nobody's stocking them.

Bought mine today on Nvidia since the only other one I can find is 70 miles away. It said it was in stock but I have no idea if it will ship on Monday or in a month. People on the forums said I'll probably get it in a week, but never get a shipping confirmation until after I get it... What is it with companies with green color schemes and poor shipping? (razer pulls the same **** with me and I end up getting products before I get tracking numbers).
