Its probably due to the season.
And yeah, shopping at Walmart is nothing to be embarrassed about. Browsing at Walmart is another story. Its a good place to go if you know exactly what you want so you can leave as soon as possible.

Exactly. The only 2 things I hate at Wal-Mart is the stereotypical Wal-Martian, and checking out.
I swear to effing christ if I go to Wal-Mart tonight and have to wait a half hour to check out with 1 thing, I'm going to flipping scream.
On the other hand, if you don't want to shop at the Dub, Wirefly.com has them for 69.99 with free activation and shipping.

It is probably only available to new users or upgrades signing a 2yr agreement.
I think the price is due to the fact that its a horribly made phone. I some how got verizon to take it back even though i was past my 30 days. thank god..set back is that im on a garbage flip untill something worthy comes out. Dont think im gonna go back to android though.
Notice even on ebay people are getting horrible offers for the phone. Samsung has a horrible name in the mobile phone industry....compare it to a moto phone,. Moto phones feel like quality
its free at my local best buy right now on an upgrade/new contract

I've never heard that Samsung had a horrible name in the mobile phone industry. I've heard that they aren't the greatest with providing updates, but the hardware in their phones is almost always the latest and greatest when the phones are released. Given the size and form factor, I can't say that my Fascinate feels flimsy either. If it weighed much more than it does, I'd wonder more about why it was so heavy over enjoying how much more sturdy it felt.
On a more personal note, if all you are going to do is come in here and bash the Fascinate, and not provide anything of any use or substance, I suggest you look elsewhere to read and post, possibly here
The Fascinate is among the best phone, hardware wise. Although, I do agree about the flimsy part. Coming from a Touch Pro, the Fascinate feels flimsy. If you feel that way too, I would recommend the verizon stand case. It adds a nice heft to the phone and feels very solid.
Also, ignore the trolls. I honestly believe that the iPhone is the ONLY way to go for some people.
no i know the hardware is great....if it works properly...ie:gps but cpu and gpu are great.
Yeah i got rid of my fascinate thank god. I came from the iphone on att but left because of the network. And now on verizon i tried android....but there are no quality apps, almost no push notification apps...ie:sports apps
I PERSONALLY believe that the iphone os is much better all around. Im gonna wait it out and hope the iphone gets released on verizon in the next 2 -3 months.
goodluck guys, hope u get gingerbread....

For people like you, I really hope they don't bring the iPhone to Verizon, please go back to ATT.
I have contacted 15 separate people on eBay with buy it nows available, only for them to tell me they have already setup a purchase of an iPhone 4 or already have an iPhone 4 and prefer it to the sgs2 so are not interested in my iPhone obviously...
Starting to get concerned perhaps the sgs2 is not as good as I am thinking, would it be for me
Maybe they don't want to trade an SG2 for an iPhone 4 because the SG2 is a better phone and they'd be getting robbed.
Seriously, the iPhone 4 is nearly a year old and the hardware is inferior to the SG2. You'd have to be stupid to trade straight across for an iPhone 4.
Price is also a factor. You can buy a brand new iPhone 4 for $600 unlocked. An SG2 is $700.
if you are stuck in stubborn ios mode, then no android phone would be right for you. thats probably why there are some ppl that wouldn't give up their iphone for anything. thats what it comes down to, youre comparing apples with oranges. on the hardware side, its a dead given which phone is better.
sell it i just sell mine yesterday with best offer for 535$ and buy the galaxy s2
Maybe you should sell the iPhone for cash and buy a new Galaxy S2?
Thats what I did, I've even made $50 for doing that.
I just sold my iphone 4 on ebay for $625 Australian, the one is 2-3 months old. Apple hold there price well. Wonder what a 1 month old gs2 would go for?

Unless you are some apple fanboy, or have some liking to apple's offerings, or you just got some fault sgs 2, then why the hell would you trade a sgs 2 for an iphone, when the sgs 2 is practically 2x the specs.

thats because the market isn't flooded with so many different ios devices like android is.
The reason why them retailers prefer iPhone to SGS2 currently because they have huge unsold stock of iPhones needing to be cleared in view of iPhone 5. So they will try to push it to you, while SGS2 might just reach a state of short supply soon.
Pretty standard selling practice. I had someone recommend me SGS instead of the SGS2 "because its better", right...

If the GS3 has a ceramic casing, it is not gonna have a removable battery.
I doubt it wouldn't have a removable battery
well ima hit target up sunday and see what this is all about
Any phone without a removable battery is an instant no in my book. I like my semi-hot swappable batteries.

But i hate how Samsung phones spec differ in America compared to abroad, this means less dev support. Every one s ( considering it or S3 ) will be the same all over the world, just like the sensation and other HTC phones. Also, we might end up getting the S3 around Christmas with the way US carriers lag.
It will drop around the same time as the iPhone 5

Buying an international version solves that problem. I know you have to pay full prize but you can use your upgrade and sell it here so that you can make up some of the total cost. Also there is no AT&T branding on international version which is awesome. I hate that AT&T logo on nice looking phones

Agreed we don't know how it will look and I'm guessing it will not have a removable battery as well if rumors of ceramic casing are true.
I read somewhere that the Next Galaxy will have a simultaneous world release date (US carriers included); it has something to do with the way the GS2 sold.
That would prolly keep them from making the same mistake like they did making the US G-Nex a Verizon exclusive. Back to the main topic, I will be preordering the One X and if I dont like it I could always sell it and wait for GS3.
I'm not sure if this is where I should post this, but I guess it kinda applies to this forum.
Anyways, this company apparently has really good deals. But I'm sure if they are a real/reputable company. I mean according to the post, the have brand new devices. Like a Galaxy Note for $300 and an iPhone 4S 16GB for $280. I think these deals are too good to be true, but if they are real, I want to buy things!

I had been leaning HEAVILY toward an ipad mini as my first tablet.
Talk me out of it
I'd prefer to stay with android so I can root and have all my apps and the things I know and love.
However, I just haven't found a form factor that i like. The 16:10 is just too skinny on the 7" IMHO.
Then i found out about this 7.7 and I'd love to have one.
I actually only need the wifi version but that looks harder to come by??
I'm on ATT. On the GSM version, can I just take my sim out and use it for data in the tablet?
Besides those questions, how would you pay for your tablet if you had to purchase it today?
I'd pay the $350 a ipad mini would cost me.
However, the ones I see are $450+

I'm browsing these forums because I'm eying the refurbished Galaxy Tab 7.7 Verizon 4G on eBay for $250... so I'm guessing you can get it for well under $450. Considering returning my Nexus 7 for it...
I saw some wifi only for buy it now or best offer on ebay. Not sure I want to go that route from Taiwan. I wonder how much vzw would charge outright without month to month. I bet if they would have kept the price down this thing would have been hard to keep in stock...

The pictures is this ebay ad show the 6800...
you see the green telephone icon in the lower left??
The 6810 doesnt have that..
"IF" you get the 6800.. then YES, you can move your ATT sim card there and BAM! An exact duplicate of your smart phone and it's features...
including phone calls, receiving phone, send and receive TXT messages and mms.. everything your existing smart phone does.. same phone number..
it all followes your sim card.
I do it and many others on here do it too..
BUT, you cant do it with the 6810 or Verizons version..
they dont have sim card slots... good luck
6810 is wifi.
6800 is wifi+3g
Sch-i815 is VERIZON wifi+LTE
As stated earlier, you can have wifi AND full phone functionality with the 6800 with your at&t sim.
Don't get the i815 unless you have service with Verizon or unless you plan to use it for wifi only. You can only get data service (phone functionality is disabled) with the Verizon i815 if you have a Verizon account on the stock rom only.
If you want to use cyanogenmod or aosp roms please note that our tab shares most of its internal hardware with the international galaxy s2 and international galaxy note, which means full jelly bean butter is not functional until Samsung releases the right source.

I paid $400 for mine... New from Verizon a few months ago and I still think it's worth it. The iPad mini isn't really a consideration for me, even for $50 less.
But I think the 7.7 is pretty close to perfection.
I had p6800 from end of January. Then at the beginning of December, I broke the screen and needed to decide what replacement devicebto take. I liked Ipad Mini for form factor and casing. But ultimatelly the iOS and poor specifications put me off. Nexus 7 3G is nice but the screen is too small. Anything that is 8.9 inch or larger is too large for me. So I bought another p6800. It is significantly better than the original as it does not suffer from yellowish discoloration of the screen which the original had. I think there is still no competition for p6800 out there (if you don't care for high computing / video generating power but you need smallndevice with good /though somehow dark/ screen and battery life).

Well, I decided to bite for $250. Versus the Nexus 7 that I have for $200, the extra $50 is worth it to me for the screen alone. I'm not going to be using data so I don't care about Verizon vs. AT&T etc. concerns.
Ahhh. You are tempting me! I'll sleep on it.... 250 really isn't a bad price. I'll probably do it lol!

This tablet is beautiful man. I just acquired a nexus 10 and I'm having a a hard time deciding on changing my setup from galaxy nexus/gtab 7.7 to gnote 2/nexus 10. The nexus 10 flies like you wouldnt believe man, but the non-portable size and non amoled screen are keeping me from leaving this tab

I do love my galaxy not phone. Don't think I'll be changing it any time soon.
I thought pretty hard on getting the nexus 10 but I know it would be too big for my first tab. With a 5.3" phone it would be hard to 'just' go to the nexus 7 but i did like how it felt in hand. I almost went I pad mini to broaden my tech consumption with ios but at the end of the day I know I'd want to customize it too much
