Amazon availability - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How is Amazon on availability/pricing for brand new phones? Is it usually available on release day? I'm debating whether to preorder with At&t or wait a week or two for Amazon if they can offer a lower price. I'll just upgrade with At&t if there isn't a price difference. Thanks guys!

I doubt there will be a price difference for the first couple months.

Current price

I just ordered from Newegg for $539.99 two days ago, price dropped to $499.99 last night. Bummer! I negotiated for a $20 discount, so I got it for $519.99. Should get it tomorrow.
cool story bro
When I ordered from handtec.co.uk, the price dropped before it shipped, so they automatically gave me back the difference without me asking.
A company I therefore recommend everywhere.
Shouldve sent it back lol. Expansys dropped 100 couple days after my purchase. Simple choice for them, 100 in my account or a returned item.

Won't happen with the international version.

It might... there's work being done to get it working on the phone, and t-mobile is refarming the 1900Mhz spectrum that they own, but they are taking their sweet time about it...

Even better is the combo with the bluetooth headset. $495 after a $20 MIR. I was waiting to see what the s3 announcement brought, but that price from a reputable seller...
Expansys has it for 499 now.
Does expansys give warranty for the international version?
I paid 630
Couple of months ago... Yes pricedrops happens sometimes even a day after you purchase..
It's OK forget about that and enjoying your device mate.
$700 back on 01/04
In Italy, last price for an europe guaranty gnote is 429€
Bought mine for € 630,- in november 2011. The first week.
I bought mine in december 2011 at 530 € in Italy.
Are blue and black two different options, or just described differently?
New egg had "blue" for 499 (soldout, but now back in stock at 539). Expansys doesn't mention color, but pic looks like more chrome bezel?

The official name is midnight blue for the color, I believe. Not quite black.

yeah, great deal for a great deal if you can't wait for the rumored Nexus Tab.
Glad I bought two of them yesterday at Microcenter, there no longer stocking them today.

Costco sale

Costco has their price for the US Galaxy Note 10.1 for $479.99 but with no coupon needed, get it for $439.99 from Jan 31-Feb24. Good deal.
Can you buy online or do you have to be a member?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
You can buy online but, obviously, must be a member. It is a membership warehouse and online business.
It also comes with a free case.
White only, no deep grey, at least at my local Costco.
What kinda case?

It's one of those slim slip cases used to protect it during transport. It makes for a very tight fit.

I got my Note 10.1 from Costco 4 days ago! I couldn't wait another week and it was sold out everywhere so I'm happy even thought I didn't got the $40 disfount.
The one by me has the 16gb white.
Online they have the 32gb gray for 549.99
Went to my Costco today and saw the rebate had been upped to $50. This was in Eureka, Calif., so YMMV.
Picked one up today in Wyoming, MI for $458.79 (on sale for $429.99 with instant rebate). I think it's a great deal! I've been looking online for one and lowest I'd found was around $490 (new).
Great tab! I'll be hanging around here more now.
Anybody ever have any luck getting Costco to refund the difference due to the price drop? I paid $479 at a Costco on Dec. 28, and I am well within the 90 day return policy. I would like to avoid attempting to return it (partly because I've dropped it once and now have some scratches on it).

Oh that does suck. I'm sure your discount would've been more than $40 off.
Bought mine in Socal on Sunday for 429.99. I originally wanted the 32 gb but thought this deal was too good to pass up!
I wish they'd do this in the UK stores

Preorder or pick up on release day?

Pre-ordered iPhone5 from ATT before, but it arrived much later than simply picking it up in store. What should we do for S4? Any suggestion?
If you preorder in a store im sure you can pick it up there too.
I pre-ordered today. Preorders are available a week ahead of general sales. Can' t wait. I ordered black.

How much did you pay for s4?

I think I got shafted by at&t I ordered over the phone not online I guess online is 199.00 vs 299.00 over the phone I got white one but she couldn't tell mr whether it's a 16gb or 32gb.anyone pay the same as me?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
I paid $199 for the 16gb model of which only like 8-9 gigs is available on boot :/
Worst case for you is you overpaid, in which case you have like a 30 day window to return or exchange, so you should be fine price-wise.

I got mine in-store and it was listed as the 16gb model. I tried ordering over the phone but wouldn't have received it fast enough.
I'm not sure why AT&T would quote you $299 though...I don't think they have a $299 version yet?

With any luck, you got the 32 GB model. Otherwise, you're due a partial refund!

$168.00 @ Wal-Mart
My local Wal-Mart in Fort Worth has them in stock for only $168.00. I had to look twice because I thought it was the S3, hard to tell the difference.
