If it is the 16gb make sure it is not thru Tmobile. People are purchasing thru TMO for $199 or even that last deal they had where it was for $50 or free I think. After they sell it then they wait a week or 2 and report it lost, stolen and TMO will block the IMEI.

Let's say that after a month or 2 you don't want the device and want to sell it, you will have a better chance of selling it to able to use on att, tmo, simple etc.

Assuming the seller doesn't have insurance on the phone:
What would this seller gain by reporting it stolen? He's still gonna have to pay the early termination fee.

I think it's easier to assume the seller does have insurance, especially on a two day old phone with plans of doing a scheme.
it's also easy to assume the seller may prefer the phone he was using before the n4, change the SIM, no etf

That's assuming he/she pays the etf. Some won't and could care less about their credit. Seller could be selling an already stolen phone and banking on getting rid of it before iemi is blacklisted.
I've also heard people use fake info to sign up for a 2 year contract get phone then just stop paying

No 3g though, which is annoying, since pictures and stuff are naturally larger.
It was funny. Everyone in the store kept asking me what phone it was and how huge it was. The manager asked me to root his phone for him so I referred him to xda. But they loved the bad ass note

They'll probably have you fill out a form after 90 days.

I preordered mine on Sunday via Telesales. I am on the SERO-P plan and the website looked like it wanted to change my plan and my local store claims they cannot help me with a SERO plan. The whole process took way too long with all the upsell options they tried to push. I look forward to getting the phone though.
Trying to fight the urge to pre order but waiting on @rompnit to see what phone he is gonna go to next. I needs my MOAR!

Ya know, I don't have a clear understanding of it either, but I see don't need that type of security on my devices. But yes, you will void the warranty with Samsung, but the TEP with sprint would stay intact. I tripped it a long time ago on my S4,but there all people who choose to keep there device As is. I can't blame them I guess. But it's definitely not gonna persuade me to not get the S5. I'm already way ahead getting my work in place. Unfortunately the sprint firmware will be different than he international version. Not by much tho. So yes, I'm taking everything from the S4 over to the S5[emoji12][emoji106]

You do realize that this is only if you are not using an upgrade. The final price with this deal is around $650.00.
