Buying locally would be better. You never know whether the phone sold at ebay or amazon are real or fake or maybe even blacklisted.

I have no interest in paying 815 when I could import it straight from the UK for less with shipping included
549.99 is with VAT, you don't pay VAT to the states.
and there's a coupon code "20OFFLS" and it takes $20 off
So, total is 471.0 GBP = 759.252482885 USD with 2-3 day shipping.
anybody purchased from negrielectronics recieve theres yet

Also, by buying it in the UK, you retain the two year global warranty. Any device purchased outside its country of intended sale is considered grey market by Samsung and the warranty is void. So any Note sold in the U.S. has no warranty regardless of what the seller says. The only exception is Expansys-USA which ships devices to their branch in the UK should a customer's device need warranty work. SquareTrade covers grey market devices if anyone's interested.
The question was:
"Are there any sellers in the US that are shipping now or you think will be shipping anytime soon?"
Now we are comparing prices overseas. There is already a thread about best price.

Indeed, there is. I made the thread but most of those sites were speculatively pricing and now half the US sites no longer have the note listed and the other half, like negriel, increased pricing dramatically.

HP's last Touchpad sell

http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/article/409706/refurbished_hp_touchpad_fire_sale_happening_sunday
For anyone that doesn't know already:
HP is having their last Touchpad sell on their official Ebay store today at 6pm Central time.
This time their down to just refurbs mostly but still at $99 and $149 (16gb and 32gb respectively) its a steal.
I know I will most likely pick one up tonight if I can grab one before everyone else gets to it
Anyone else thinking of getting one and putting CM7 on that thing?
Damn if I wasn't building a gaming computer I'd buy it in a heartbeat

They are already in the store, but for the high prices (500$). Anyone knows what this means? Are they selling for 500 bucks, or will the price drop within 2 hours?

Supposedly at 6PM (Central) they will be the prices listed above until they sell out.
This is only going on at the HP's official ebay page.

wondering the same.. it shows theyve sold already 8 of the 32gb, theyre might be something special for employees, like maybe they signed up with they're ebay account..

so what do you guys think 16GB or 32GB if im gonna dual boot it with android. that would probably leave little room on the hd of the 16gb one for movies, music and other stuff right?..

Newegg or PlayStore

I really want N4 on Newegg because there is no tax for me (NYC) and customer service is A++.
Which store u like more?
Will Newegg have it at Play Store pricing? If so, them probably.
Did you see somewhere that newegg has it? I love newegg and would rather get it from them!

The Nexus 4 is not going to be sold at Newegg. The GNex sold at Newegg is NOT the Play Store one, it's the white phone.
I hadn't realized Google stopped selling the Galaxy Nexus, interesting. Depending on the state you live in the Gnex used to cost $360-400 after shipping and tax from the Play Store. You can still find it for $360-375 shipped on Amazon or Google shopping.

I'm just trying to make the point that Newegg's smartphone prices aren't exactly... competitive.
Also, I thought this was interesting.

How much is the sim free nexus 4 for UK?

Hello everyone i have question regarding the price of the nexus 4. On the website of play.google they have the 16GB for £279.00 (British pounds) and the same phone the O2 has the sim free for £399.00. Why? I know there is a cost of shipping but i cannot see it because the product is out of stock. does anyone know how much is it?
Googles out of stock so they can charge what they want which is interesting because they must if knew Google was going to run out
Sent from my XT910 using xda premium
Anywhere other than play store you are looking at around 400. This is because these come from lg not from Google. Crap I know but this is the price
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
It's the same in the US - unlocked N4 16GB costs $499 with T-Mobile. Google cannot/does not control third party pricing.
so the actual price is the google price but any third company can sell this phone in any price it wants right? if i order the nexus 4 from uk store. how much it will cost me if the price of the phone is £279.00?

Best Buy Giving $25 Google Play Credit & $15 Best Buy Gift Card

Hey guys, just letting you know that Best Buy is giving out $25 Google Play Credit & $15 Gift Card with the purchase of a Nexus 7.
They will also price match Office Depot which is $40 cheaper than Best Buy.
I went out and bought one, they didn't the Wi-Fi one in stock, so they handed me 32GB Wi-Fi + LTE one.
Office Depot price last until 12-28 though.

I got the $25 play credit but no gift card. Do you have a source link for that? Also, I was unaware that Office Depot had it for $40 cheaper so I'm going to go back to Best Buy today with the ad and get them to price match it. Thanks for the heads up.

I bought mine 10 days ago and had them price match Office Depot at $229. Went back last night for the gift cards and they wouldnt do it. They said they could either price match it, or get the gift cards, but not both.
Got mine yesterday with the gift card and GP credit and went back today (glad I read this thread) and they priced matched it. So I walked out the door with the tablet and Google sleeve ($30) for $277 post tax and $25 in GP credit. Not too bad.

I just called the local store and they didn't know anything about the promotion. What areas are you guys getting this from? I'm in Michigan.
I'm in California, Los Angeles got the 16 GB price matched for $199 plus the 15 dollars plus $25 dollar play credit... Yeah buddy the GP credit was a surprise. I originally Purchased the Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 but the screen quality and sluggishness of it made me return it.

I would give it a try... Just ask for a price match if you bought it from best buy. Also most retailers will price match other competitors. Plus best buy had an extended exchange policy until January 15 th.

I called the store manager about getting this, I never got through. Twice disconnected and the person I did speak to, said they would not honor the $15 if $100 spent because I already got the price match. I explained that would be fine if there was a promo specifically on the N7, but its got nothing to do with it, its on amount spent, and I spent way more than $100.
No.
So I said what about the Google promo with the N7, its with google, not Best Buy per se. She went to ask the manager, 10 minutes later *click*.
I call back, she transfers me to the manager,..........*click*
*sigh*
I got mine deb at thanksgiving and only got the $25 gp credit. The credit comes from Google. When I bought mine from best buy. I got an email for the gp credit. It was part of the checkout. Maybe better to order online.

I exchanged the crappy Galaxy Tab 3 I got for Christmas and picked up a 16GB N7 for $200.
My brother and dad were happy since they bought it for me and got a credit of $103 and change. I did receive the $15 gift card which I gave to my brother but didn't the the Google Play credit. I forgot to ask too. Should I go back and inquire on this or is it on the receipt?
They exchanged my 16gb and price matched the 32.. Also gave me the $25 Google Play credit and $15 gift card... sweet deal
