$479.00 32gb Iconia A500!

It's true! Just to let you guys know, I picked up my brand new A500 with 32gb memory and the official Iconia case at Costco for $479.00. Its all included in the box. I think this now officially makes this product kick the Asus in the ass for value and bang for the buck.
Enjoy!

Oops, just saw the other post about this...and I thought I had read them all the way through. Sorry about that guys. I was too excited!
Btw, the card for the product at my costco said 16gb even though the price board said 32. Rest assured it is the 32. As posted on the other post, mine does have gps....don't know where anyone got info it didn't.

Great. I just did the same. Could you please share with me your system information for the 32GB to compare it with mine. I have 1.04.03 and I can not upgrade it to 1.14.07. Thanks.

I just looked and my build number says...
Acer_A500_1.104.02_COM_GEN1
brash

Mine is he same outdated version, the card said 16gb and the box said 32. I am just very disappointed in the video playback performance. Definitely has GPS.

Please varify!
I don't know, am I seeing this right? In the official acer us site, there is another 32Gb version of the iconia which has the same price tag as the 16GB iconia. Here it is:
http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/model/XE.H60PN.006
Someone please verify!

wow that is pretty outdated.... my build is Acer_A500_1.126.03_COM_GEN1
EDIT: just plugged some numbers... and jeee's you lucky Americans..... i paid 400GBP for my tab, which was GOOD over here £50 cheaper than other stores..... thats $665
$479 = £230 ..... for the same version (albeit slightly outdated build)
Ok, im moving!

Yeah, reason is, the US economy is based on competition between retailers, due to the fact the average American will not pay more for an item, than what it's worth. (with the exception of iPhones and Crapweiser beer)
As for those of us across the pond, we have no choice in what to pay In Eastern Europe, like Moscow, the prices are almost exactly the same no matter which shop you go to. However, the internet shops offer cheaper prices. Also, there are the legitimate devices (regulated and approved by russian FCC) and the "grey" devices (those that slip past the regulatory agency). Big difference in prices. Unfortunately, only phones seem to be in the "grey" area.

I have one thing in mind...
I m a galaxy s III I9300 owner...n i m thinking of moving on to note 2..
could sumone tell me if it would be right option to move to note 2 n ill it be bit future proof coz as soon as i purchased SIII 2gb of mobile ram was out...
beside tht is it the right time to order Note 2 coz I purchased galaxy SIII as soon as it was launched for 42500/- it went down to 37500/- within a month....

Look mate. Every gadget ever produced will get beaten by something better. So there is nothing future proof. S3 was in a lot of demand just like the note2 is now so sellers were making a lot of premium. Once the demand settled it got to its actual price. I expect the same to happen with note 2. I think if u will buy it on the day it becomes available you will be paying atleast 3000 more than the price after 30 days of launch. But then i guess thats the price of being some of the 1st people to have it.
So if you want the best device atm, buy the note2. If you want something good the future, i am afraid yoh will just keep waiting.
Hope that helps.
Cheers!!!

i was a s3 owner ..sold it 2 days back now waiting for note 2
galaxy s3 is still future proof..there is no app/game out yet that will work on note 2 and not on galaxy s3 because of more ram or faster processor
prices will go down if you wait more...s3 16gb is available for 33-34K now..
so the decision to go for it now..is again up to you..can you wait couple of months to get the fastest mobile on the planet just for a few thousand rs. less ..i know i cant

As the price has fallen down to 33000/- I have a 4 months used SGSIII n its getting sold out for 28000/-

I went to a Samsung store y'day in Kothrud, Pune for having a look at SGN2.
He did not have and said it'll come in an hr.
Price of S3 has droppoed to 32,400 n he said SGN2 will be smwhr betn 35-40k...
He also added, i'll have to book SGN2 and deliveries will start from 5th Oct.
M waiting for exact price and will then buy...

Flipkart is too still showing it as a "pre-order". My guess is that they would be one of the first to get units.....Damm, the wait is killing....
If I call my neighborhood retailer again, he will probably think I am really desperate and hike up his price to me....

I had played around with a white GN2 yesterday and it's awesome. No multi-windows support but that Samsung has clarified would be available as an update soon.
In Delhi deliveries are going to start by today late evening according to the same dealer with most dealers getting stocks today. The best price quoted to me was 39,000 without the bluetooth headset, which I really don't care about. However, the dealer wants an advance in the morning today for delivery in evening. He also has no clue whether he will get both the colors or just white initially.
Though I was very excited about the device, I have decided to wait till the end of this month before I get the device for a few reasons.
1. Expected price drop. There a good rumors that this phone would be priced lower soon, around 37,500, which is the price a few readers on this forum got as well. A site called uniquekart.com already quotes this price.
2. eBay Diwali Offer. There is no hint of eBay diwali offer yet but if I am buying this expensive phone, I can wait a bit. Most likely eBay will give a free 1TB hard disk as a free gift, but hey that's great.
3. EMI. Dealer currently was offering only 6 interest free EMIs, though the VP clearly mentioned 9 months.
4. Other Diwali offers. Samsung is expected to launch diwali offers.
5. Lack of accessories. Buying now means you will not be able to get any accessories including basics like scratchguards.

I am tempted. Very tempted to buy. It's also likely that if I visit the dealer again and he has stock I would probably too. But, I have done this in the past and I am just going to use my head a bit better this time.
I am not waiting till Diwali. Just till the offers start around 15th of this month maybe 20th. Pre-orders are anyways shipping after 8th. So, two weeks perhaps. A free 1TB HD worth 5k is not a bad deal. Even now, you could pre-order on ebay with a free Asha phone worth 4K, which you could gift to someone if you want.

32GB White Frost Availability?

Has anyone heard any news at all regarding the availability of this phone within AT&T i.e. not unlocked, etc? Tx
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

When I was upgrading and mine to the black 32gb I asked the lady on the phone at AT&T about the white she said she thought it was coming, along with a possible red one, and a possible blue one. She said she couldn't tell for sure as she wasn't able to access the area that had that kind of info in it, but saw some sort or "place holder" for inserting other models. Take it for it it's worth, which is not much.

Since I saw this thread, I emailed my Samsung rep, who actually knows his stuff compared to our other reps.
He said that Samsung has no plans on launching a white 32 gig anytime soon. If there is a big demand for 32 gig they might reconsider.
that's a bummer.

There has to be a backstory somewhere here as this strategy makes absolutely no sense.
At some point all of the 'newbies' are going to catch on that there 16GB phones really have no more than 8GB internal memory then sales hit a brick wall.
The S4, IMO, is simply useless as a smartphone with internal memory of less than 32GB.
Thanks for passing along the info.

You know, not everyone needs more than the 9 gigs offered. Granted, I'd like to see a bit more running space on the internal side just so I don't have to clean out caches, but 32, at least for me, is overkill. I wouldn't say the S4 is useless as a smartphone @ 9 GBs. That's just going overboard. But that's just my opinion.
Your best bet at something 32GB and other than black will be if and when AT&T carries post release variants, like blue, red, etc. At least AT&T plays really closely to Sammy, so you're already with the best service provider for Samsung stuff.

Also, a very helpful team of AT&T store employees looked high and low (within company inventory and presale documentation) and could find no evidence that AT&T will carry the 32 GB in white.
I'll be interested to see if the Google 16 GB version has sufficiently less bloatware. And/or if the S4 update allowing apps to SD is meeting expectations.

True, but with the S III memory problems I'd stay away from anything less than 32GB .
They are already carrying the Red Aurorara variant, of course with 16GB internal memory.

My opinion is they released the 32gb black to have the 32 option and they don't have plans for the white 32gb. Same with the rumored red and blue which will almost certainly only be in a 16gb option. Anyone who wants more storage can suck it up and buy the black 32gb is probably they're way to seeing it

Im not much of a business guru but how would it make a difference business wise to have it vs not? I mean black is a very neutral sex color vs white which seems to appeal to mostly females and yes i know some guys. And it really doesnt seem that hard to add a 32gb white i mean they basically could have the 32GB main board manufacturing line then just take those guts and throw the white body on it. Easy peasy right? So then why dont they have it along side the black one right now? over a month later...

I think you hit the nail on the head with your last question!
Marketing essentially drives the entire product life cycle in any business. That's essentially the basis of our conversation! Post-marketing drives everyone crazy, including personnel in other departments who want to move on to the 'next best thing'! IMO, it makes perfect sense to sell all 32GB variants in all of the colors for exactly the reasons you mentioned.
Sure, I could go ahead & get a 'dirty' black model instead of continuing to holding my breath for the White Frost, but as a consumer I'll play that game a bit longer.

damn, vzw gets white 32gb... oh well ill wait it out for next round of top tier phones.

Samsung and AT&T know that 95 percent of their customers will opt for the 16gb version of the S4. With most customers it's about price and when they are also told they can add memory with a micro sd, they definitely go with the 16gb. The reps don't inform them that apps can only be stored internally and even if they did 95 percent would still get the cheaper of the two options. Samsung won't pay the extra manufacturing costs involved with churning out multiple colors of 32gb versions for AT&T when the demand just isn't there.

£479 for the Note10.1 (2014) 16GB WIFI only, in the UK

Recently I've been a frustrated Samsung UK underling, whom was unable to get any Note 10.1(2014) pricing or availability info internally.
Hence, I've been following threads in this forum in the hope of some info.
However, through a stroke of good fortune I met the Tablet Buyer of a Leading UK High Street Retailer...
The Note 10.1 (2014) 16GB WIFI only device will be priced at £479
The device will be available in approximately 2 weeks.
The buyer didn't know the price of the LTE model, which would suggest that the LTE model may not be available within a similar time frame.
Also the Tab3 LTE models will be available (Sim-Free) at the end of October priced with £100- £120 premium over the WIFI only models.
Hope this info eases a few minds!!!
Many thanks for all the great posts
all the best...

Damn so we're looking at around £530 for 32 gb. too dear for me

WTF

Why are we always being ripped off here in the UK? Gotta buy them in the US then.
Tesco Hudl perhaps.
.

I don't care what components and specs are inside this thing. It should not be priced more than an ipad if it is still made of cheap plastic and looks like it was designed by a graduate.
Should be around £350.
Im not buying this out of principle despite being a millionaire and someone who just lost many many times over this amount in a poker game last night.
The Note 8 pricing was a complete joke but this isn't too far behind.

I don't understand why it is much more expensive than the US. $550 converted in £ with 20% extra for VAT makes £400 not £479.

Hey Ryangan. Did you order from TD as you mentioned in the other post. I hope you get the early dispatch if you did.

I haven't yet, read a few reviews that have put me off. If it's not released here by the 14th, I'm going to take the risk.

I have received a confirmation from a major retailer here in Greece that it will be available next week. They told me that they have plenty of stock already.

Did you ask about the lte version and the prices ? btw which retailer ?

Well here in Sweden it is expected to be £550 for the wifi-only 16gb model. You do the math...

Wow, why is it so much more for other nations compared to the US?

Canadian Note 5 thread

since the note 5 has been released and the release date for us Canadians is august 21. so, who's getting one? I'm still on the fence on picking up one, but if I do it's probably going be the 64gb version. Let's begin the discussion on it.:good:

I will for the first time since the note 2 not be getting a new note this year.
Samsung has totally dropped the ball (and thats a huge understatement ) this time around.
Black only and 32gb of storage?
No thanks.
sent from my Nexus 6 or Note 4

I was looking on the Bell site and I only saw the 32gb ($850). I chat online with a rep and she said they are only carrying the 32gb. At this point I can't see myself getting one

That really sucks, long term 32gb is going be cutting it close. I was hoping we would have a choice between 32gb and 64gb.

The Note 4 is now $200 cheaper at Bell ($230 with tax) - which has me seriously considering whether a Note 4 isn't a better choice for my money.

Yeah, I made that comment at 2am after some wine. Want my finest moment.
I have too much of a sweet cellphone plan to risk a contract. $800 for the note 4 from Bell. Still not a bad deal, all things considering

Absolutely impossible. That must be used space not free. 32gb note5 should have around 22GB available space.
64 GB Note5 has 52GB free space accordingly to one of the xda member who received his phone from At&t.

52 / 2 = 26
Sorry, had to!
Seriously pissed that Canada only gets the 32gb version, and only in black. I have sent protest tweets to Samsung Canada and Telus. Everyone should do the same (Samsung and your carrier).
Choice, what people want. Why does only Apple understand this?

Here's a picture. The phone is a Demo so maybe people has been testing the 4K video recording and taking lots of pictures..

Where did you see this demo

I just found both at a Bell store in Chinook Centre, Calgary. Both had different free storage that I won't even bother posting. Also, don't forget that these are are retail demo units (running demo mode and with a retail disk partion) so you can't take them as gospel.

I want to check them out before deciding whether to reserve or not - could you actually play with phones at the Bell store, or were they not supposed to be on display? (Just want to make sure it's worthwhile to drive out to Chinook).

Yes you could play with both, and the regular edge and Note 4 are next to them, totally worth the drive.
