Alright, so who will sell the cheapest Xooms on release day?

I'm hearing Costco will sell them $100 lower than Best Buy. What about the official Verizon stores?

The costco thing isn't garunteed its just assumed. I asked a costco phone guys and that's what he expected the price to be since they sell the galaxy tab for $100 less than everyone else.

Today I have confirmed costco will have it for 699 and it will requirea one month activation.

Costco doesn't do preorders.

I just talked to my costco guy again and he said they expected $600-$700 so yea I would expect $699.

Imagine if it was $599 at Costco. Lol.

We all need to call our local Costco and figure this out, a 22nd release date and $100 off would be amazing.

I just called my Costco and they had nothing in their inventory about the Motorola Xoom, strange. It's stuff like this that makes me iffy that EVERY Costco will have it on release day, especially if it's not even on their website.

True, but as i said i actually read the first email myself. It said "as soon as the 22 they would have a live demo, as soon as the 24 they would have the sell units." I think the key is AS SOON AS. This means depending on previous sells and the area the costco is in, it may be different. It may be they are holding out info too. Let me see if i can get the item number real quick. <Not in the system yet> Also make sure you are asking for the phone kiosk, not the main store.

Best or Cheapest place to buy a new epic 4g?

My brother is due for an upgrade and he's new to android. I think the phone will be great for him. So I was wondering where is the best place to buy an epic? I'm looking in terms of price and deals. So far, the best deal I found was at radio shack where I can get one for $49 + tax w/ contract after trading any old working phone.

Are you sure? the radioshack employee told me that it was $149 for an upgrade, then take off $100 after trading in any old working phone, which would come to $49 + taxes...said that the promotion was going to end saturday, so I'm assuming it must've just started. I'm gonna call them to double check.

wow, can't beat that. ridiculous that the evo is still pulling $199 on contract

Talked to two different radio shack stores just now. The first store that I called said that its for new contracts only. The second one I called said that upgrades were indeed eligible for the offer, and the first store I called didn't know what they were talking about. She even went on to say that she just recently did the same offer for an upgrading customer...so I don't know what to believe.

Well I manage a RadioShack, so I'm pretty sure that it is only for new activations. The store maybe able to add the $100 trade and save rebate but the store will charged back for it.

I worked for radioshack. Screw them. They only pay decent money for iphones with they're trade ins. Radioshack I apples personal *****. You guys should of seen how hard radioshack was fighting to get iphones. Apple threw us about 10000 units FOR THE ENTIRE US and now radioshack takes I in the ass. Stupid ****ing company I can't wait till they're business model cracks and they're ****ed. Capitalist corporate ****s.

I called a 3rd and 4th store in my area, both said that upgrades were a go. They also said that ANY working trade-in phone would qualify for the deal, doesn't matter the value. I guess I'll just have to wait until my brother and I head down there later this week.

Go for it then. Like I said the system may still prompt for the rebate but the store will get charged back for it not you. There misinformation is your gain.

Don't hate the company because you left them or were terminated. Yes they do give a lot for iphone trade in but there is never a price drop for the iphone either. As far as love for other phones. A $100 trade in towards the epic to bring it down to $50 is pretty good. Love them our hate them you still get some of the best prices out there and employees who will go that extra mile for you instead of just clerking you out.

Looked at the radioshack ad. The epic price IS $149.99 on new activation, and the $100 trade-in IS also on new activation....
....Buuuuut...went to my local radioshack store. She took my cheap $20 virgin mobile phone, and rang up the epic under my brother's line. Kept ringing up to $198 after a couple tries, then she did something with the computer and it rang up to $98 after taxes...

Radioshacks are a corporate stores biggest headache. GOD the issues those guys cause make me want to scream sometimes. Sure...you'll get GREAT pricing on phones over there...and thats about it....

I paid $60 each shipped for our contract extension Epics. I used wirefly friends and family who runs radio shacks site sales. The price on the Epics seems to change weekley. They are back up to $130 now.
I just shopped around untill I found the best price.

Lapdock prices are absurd

we should probably go above and beyond to make sure motorola doesn't discover that yous guys have basically provided me with a way to justify the price of a lapdock, i mean, otherwise they're gonna "upgrade" it, and jack the price up over tablets...tablets that don't require a 500 dollar attachment
look at this
http://www.google.com/search?q=moto...gc.r_pw.&fp=718c35d66707d000&biw=1152&bih=567
you see how dramatically the price varies? what in **** is going on with this thing? is it going to be a thing, or something fanboys hoard knowing damn well i won't give them a ****ing dime?
just my thoughts

Im thinking about doing the 175 for the refrub on the at&t website. I doubt it'll go lower than that.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App

the att website has it for 175
EDIT:
damn, got beat to it

so new lapdocks are $299 while refurbs are $175.
why... do many online retailers and such show lapdocks at more than $299?
should they not adjust their prices to what the current price from the manufacturer is?
i understand that people sell their items for what they want.
but it just doesn't make sense to overprice something that you don't want to keep. it's like when you buy a car. as soon as it gets driven off the lot, it's worth less. it never increases in value.
unless it becomes a classic or something.

Just be on the lookout for a good deal. I just sold mine on CL for $150...

Lol, just checked on Craigslist vegas, a guy selling it fot $400, and he's giving a link with $499 brand new. Better include the phone with it on that price

im sorry guys if this is against the rules but I have one for sale. ill sell it for 150. im in nj and sold my ATRIX for cash for a prime and I have yet to sell the ATRIX

i got a message from att a couple of weeks ago to get the webtop for 99$. I'm in canada and it is for att customers but i thought i would just let u guys know

Best Buy?

Anyone know if the Note II will be on sale at best buy tomorrow? I plan on buying the phone outright on my best buy card and getting the 13 month no interest and making payments.
I've already ordered the micro sim activation kit from the tmo website for .99 cents. $35 activation fee is waived if you do it online.
I tried calling best buy but of course the rep said she didn't know and to check back tomorrow. People on here are always more informed that people working at brick and mortar stores so I thought I'd ask. I've been looking online every day since they announced that it will be coming to tmobile.
Can't wait to get my hands on this device. I've been waiting what seems like years!

I work at bestbuy mobile an we usually don't carry any tmobile phones in store. You have to order it to be shipped to your house.

As some friendly advice, have a backup plan just in case. When I worked there, sometimes we didn't get phones for a few weeks. Happened frequently with Verizon. They want exclusivity for a week or two.
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2

I'm in the same boat, but make sure you do BestBuy's price match thing because for example the Galaxy S3 from Verizon retail store is $599 while Bestbuy's price is $699. Also at some point closer to the holiday season BestBuy is suppose to match Amazon and other online retailers instead of just local retailers. Good luck

They match amazon now.

Doesn't ship with multi Window.

If you get it through T-Mo directly they charge $369 after a $50 Mail in Rebate plus tax on the retail price of $649. Total you pay up front with them is $473.35. Compared with us Total is $279.99 Flat! You save $193.36 with us!! Hit me up on PM and I can help you get a good deal. I dont want to post a link in case it is against XDA rules.

just annoyed since sure, it makes business sense to reserve them for new and upgrading customers. Buy if I'm buying a tmobile branded phone I am, with a 99.99% probability, going to be using the phone on their network and I'll still be using their service... Not to say I've been a tmo customer for 7 years but because I'm not a new customer or ready to extend my contract 2 years, I have to wait
