Anyone in the Toronto area (GTA) want to do a group buy of 3 or more for $600 a peice or less???
It says buy 3 at $1800 = $600. If we can get more people, we could get one for $500 each probably.
Let me know. Im down for 1.
buy from where / whom? which supplier?
i'll definitely want a 64GB version, but they are not due out until later this year
Sounds sketchier than draw something.

Wow, good luck with that purchase. I'm definitely interested if you actually receive the real thing at that price--it seems too good to be true.
Confirmed by the ebay owner of the account says they had their account hijacked and has ended the listing.

Had this happen to our account before with Iphone 4s's of all things
(would'nt have minded so much if they where hocking something Decent )
Will see what happens. Thankfully I am covered by Paypal.
I almost purchased 4 phones from THIS GUY at $600 a piece (at least 2 he said)... but I purchased more than 3 I would get "big discount" ....
So totals were $1,800.00 .. So I decided to make an IP trace. He is supposed to be in Texas, but it returned from yahoo servers in CA.
98.139.212.153
98.139.215.250
216.86.201.19
Item was shipping from the "UK"... yeah right. Im pretty sure this account is genuine, but got hacked and they are using it for this kindda sh*t.
Oh, something else,.. the email address he is using was apparently made may 9th... BEWARE!
Hi
I saw this same listing and enquired. I received the exact same reply from Elise (no taxes etc) and I followed up with some questions because it all seemed too good to be true and I didn't think the 64GB was even available until after the 16GB had been out a while. She replied saying her business partner who is also her brother works for Samsung, hence the bulk buying they are able to do. When I asked about the closed listing (it ended during our E-mail correspondence) she said she had to close the listing because she was receiving too many requests. She did say it'd all go through eBay still, so that buyer and seller were both protected. I had to reply with details of what I wanted (pebble blue or marble white) plus my address INCLUDING MY EBAY USERNAME. She claimed this was to check my feedback but I think it's so they can generate a convincing spoof E-mail from eBay.
She said I'd receive an invoice from eBay soon and to let her know when I did.
Sounds very fishy! Her English is poor too.
I'll let you know what the eBay E-mail looks like.
Cheers all

Yes mate, I know how you feel. I got straight on to my credit card company this morning & told them to not pay out on this transaction, also contacted Paypal & they told me not to worry as even if the sale has gone through I can still get my money refunded from them. Just annoying, but I suppose its as they say, if the deal looks to good to be true it probably is. Still annoying though.
It's good to know PayPal will cover us in these situations. And it's also sickening to know there are so many ****s like this out there trying to rip people off.
Still no 'E-mail from eBay' to be seen though!
You're exactly right, I myself kept on thinking if it's too good to be true, it probably is, but when it revolves around a sweet piece of kit like the GSIII it's hard not to be intrigued!
And good work on the IP lookup Candanga!

Hi,
I placed an order for Nexus 7 2013 LTE to a valid address in US and Order got cancelled..
The story so far:
1. I tried ordering from normal playstore and i am redirected to Indian Playstore (pretty logical from Google since i live in Bangalore, India).
2. I spoofed my IP by going over VPN (Hotspot, Ultrasurf) Google got me there again saying It is not available for my country !!!.
It tracks my activity rather than IP address.
Created a new account and still get the same treatment (not sure how Google got me there. could be that Hotspot, Ultrasurf are blacklisted or something).
3. Went to my office VPN and tried placing order with a new account ( Google could not catch me here and i got proceeded to order)
4. Order Placed, money deducted from my credit card, got order conformation from Google. (yay ! -----> happiness short-lived bitterly)
5. 2 minutes later my order gets cancelled saying my name on credit card and recipient name does not match (!) and bank address does not match recipient address ( I mean cmon, i am ordering for my aunt staying in US. Google what you should be concerned is getting the money of course and not the person who is ordering it. I did not want my aunt to be burdened with the process of placing an order an all. Just wanted her to receive.)
6. Looked into BestBuy as new stock of LTE have arrived. Says carrier is AT&T ( Dont want AT&T since i stay in India).
7. Amazon has some seller selling at 500+ dollar ( Dont want to buy from him at that price of course)
8. Ebay is overpriced at the moment (both India and US (got paypal account for that))
So now I do not know what is the next possible step i need to take.
Can someone suggest me some way i could get this ?
If anyone has gone through the same, can you help me out if you have found a way to buy the same.
Link for Bestbuy: Nexus 7 2013 32GB LTE Unlocked - AT&T Sim
Update 1 (8/10/2013 - 10:27 AM): Checked with Bestbuy and they said that it is the unlocked version with AT&T sim. So i went ahead with best buy and ordered the product. I will discarding the sim once i get it to india.
BestBuy also throws in some free goodies like 6 months of Antivirus and 6 months unlimited Cloud Storage.
It has also given this model for a cheaper final price than Google Play Store. I got charged with lesser tax than what is normally charged by Google.
Update 2 (08/10/2013 - 10:30 PM): : My order status has changed from Order Received --> Payment Validated --> Preparing Order.
Order Status:: 1 item(s) - Order in process of being fulfilled; Usually ships in 3 - 5 days. :fingers-crossed: to get it early.
Update 3 (08/10/2013 - 11:55 PM): Order Status:: 1 item(s) shipped via STANDARD on 10/08/13 via
Tracking Number: UPS xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
Update 4 (14/10/2013 - 5:15 PM): Shipment reached destination As mentioned as 5 days.

I have seen that thread. It mentions about the wifi versions and not the LTE one. checked the adorama and it looks good but there is not much information or pictures of the same. so i am a bit skeptical to proceed. BH photo does not have LTE.
I am looking for 2013 version. 2012 3G is available on flipkart but dont want that.
Method will work on any model as u just wants to buy from play store ,Do one thing mail to that particular website or have chat with them & ask them when they will be in stock , & they will list it on there websites. Did you tried office max ? Or ask borderlines to order they will buy for u but some bucks you will needed to pay them ...

Interesting. I found the LTE on the Best Buy website but not in stores. Almost all of the retail stores in the US do not stock the LTE. There may be some exceptions in a few well known stores like Fry's (unsure if stocking LTE) or some NYC retailers (B&H, etc).
For most US city locations the LTE model is simply not (yet) stocked in stores. In my opinion, depending on where you go in the US, the Best Buy option to ship to store in 3-5 days is best. Also, if you have some Best Buy coupons, etc, you might save some money.
Thanks for the info about Best Buy, I did not know until you mentioned it. Good luck.
It does not matter about AT&T or T-Mobile or neither because Google only tosses SIM card activation kit in the box. No other difference in the US.

So by your second point i can go ahead and order the same and i throw away the at&t/tmobile sim-kit is it? if i remove the sim, then it is the same as normal unlocked with support for any 3G/4G capable sim ?

No big difference ordering for in store pickup or home delivery. The SIM brand makes no difference. Any micro SIM will work if the LTE bands are supported. You might research which bands exist in your area and which bands are supported by the device.
I've seen a thread discussing setting the LTE bands using "secret dialing codes". This would likely void your US warranty. I'm not sure if it could work.
I just noticed today - Best Buy in North Carolina now shows some stores with "in stock - in store" on LTE Nexus 7. I might stop to see if they have the ones with SIM card or not.
Good luck.

ATM Samsung are doing a 10% off offer for any item over £50 (this pops up when you add a tablet to your shopping cart and log in) however when you add this code for the new Pro tablets it doesn't work. So I rang Samsung and after a lot of faffing about eventually got transfered to this number 03307267467 and explained what had happened and the kind lady on the end gave me a one use only code to get 10% off!
So I guess its worth a shot if you're considering buying one while this promotion is running (i'm not sure when the promotion expires but its still runnning as of the 3rd March).

You failed to mention where you are buying from or can we now buy the tab directly from Samsung?
Sorry I thought it was pretty obvious as I mentioned Samsung were doing the offer and that I phoned Samsung.
Confirmed working. (Mine ordered on 26th Feb, due tomorrow)
Currently offering 32GB SD Card free and 10% off too if you're lucky.
Go here... http://store.samsung.com/uk/
However the 10% Voucher code displayed does not now work. You have to phone them and tell them the pop up discount code did not work. Sound a bit miffed. Ask why doesn't the code work?
Tell them the 10% is the reason you want to order it now. Ask for a code that does work. And if they give it, use it quick.
Good Luck.
Samsung have now closed this loop hole. You no longer get the 10% off message when adding a pro to you're basket and also if you add another samsung device the 10% off pop up mentions it cannot be used to get money off tab pro or note pro devices.
i got mine today and Samsung pay is not installed. i went to the google play store and it said samsung pay was not compatible with my phone? everything is stock...no root or other hacks.
Thanks.
Try Galaxy Apps
Missing
I agree I'm missing it too On my samsung galaxy s7 edge. I went to galaxy apps and it looked like it downloaded but I can't find it anywhere. I must be missing something or its hidden in a folder. I'll keep looking!
Trying to remember how I activated it on my wife's S6. I think you have to go into settings > tap & pay.
I just read that Verizon forced Samsung to remove Samsung Pay from VZW S7 and Edge. You can also side load it from APKmirror.com also.

Wow you are completely correct! Verizon just pulled that lowball move and demanded that Samsung remove it. I'm sideloading it as we speak.

Had this issue on the s6, remove your fingerprints and clear cache in the fingerprint app then set it up with a pin. Once you finish the install turn on fingerprints

Seems you may be correct. (Update)
"We've spoken with Samsung, and they have clarified that while Samsung Pay currently cannot be installed via the Play Store or Galaxy Apps on the Verizon model, it will be available to Verizon Galaxy S7s and S7 edges via those channels starting on March 11th, the official launch date for the phones. Samsung Pay is not pre-loaded on Verizon models, unlike some other US carriers, and Verizon does not advertise the app - and even went so far as to strip it from the user manuals of its versions of the S7 and S7 edge - but sideloading will not be necessary by the time we reach the retail launch date for the devices."

Spoke with a Samsung rep yesterday about this. I was looking into the phone and he said that the VZW version just won't have it. He said that only Android pay would work.

Yep haha. I just happened to be a in Best Buy store because my friend works there and I was able to hold the phone without the security tether. Their resident "Samsung Expert" was the one who told me that. Only for me to see an article the next day about how VZW was allowing it on phones.
I was able to install Samsung Pay from the Play Store, but adding a card won't work on my Verizon S7.
I called Samsung Pay support and ran through settings, clear cache, uninstall, restart device, reinstall Pay and still won't connect to server to add any cards.
They have sent it up the chain at Samsung Support and said I should hear back within 48 hours.

I was able to install Samsung Pay from the Play Store, but adding a card won't work on my Verizon S7.

Works perfectly for my Verizon S7 and Bank of America debit
I'm trying to register my devices (s8 & S8+) for the Samsung Promotions but I keep getting IMEI or Mac-Address not found... I have tmobile phones, anyone else have success in registering their phones?
Might have to wait until Friday which is technically the release date. The Lg promotions for the g6 had the same issue.
Yeah mine isn't working either. I'll wait until Friday or Saturday and try again.
Got mine done with no issues but when I hit the order button for the vr, headphones and sdcard it said my cart was empty. Called samsung via home phone and on hold for 25 minutes. She said she would straighten it out, got a call back in 15 minutes and she took my credit card information via phone, received an email stating the order went through. Asked her when she thought they would ship and she said after the 20th.
I would highly recommend doing it from the phone rather than their web site. Mine went through okay but I wanted the headphones bundle. Even though I had that selected, it processed it as vr only it looks like. Still stuck waiting for them on the phone.
wtf.. You may want to check your email. I tried and kept getting errors. I wanted to pay the extra $99. I get an email that says my submission was approved. It was approved for just the headset. On the website it wouldn't take my im/wifi mac on Samsung pay it kept saying socket errors. Somehow it went through for the just the headset. I'm on the phone now...
no issues registering for, and then ordering, the full immersion package through the Shop Samsung app. Just got the confirmation email that my order is being processed and I will get another email when it ships via 2-day air. One strange quirk, though... after I initially registered for the $99 promo option, I got an email saying that they had received my promo request and it could take up to 2 weeks to be processed, at which time I would receive another email with next steps on how to complete the order. That was yesterday. Today, I went back into the Shop Samsung app and saw the order option in the promo tab and it worked like a charm.
What are you all using for proof of purchase in the shop samsung app?
I thought this promotion was supposed to be free! What's this $99 all about?!

$99 is for getting AKG headphone and 256GB MicroSD card which apparently have a combined retail value of $300-$400 something. Also this is in addition to the VR bundle you anyways get for free
Submitted through app, said I was under review, just checked through the website and it says approved.
Mine is worked fine. I used samsung shop app
The app says I've been approved but no where does it give me the option to buy it.

Same
Also had success in the samsung shop app after a failed attempt on the website.
I really wish they'd do this kind of promotions in europe...
Applied 30 minutes ago, went with the upgraded package, did it on the comp, instant approval, went to click the buy button, and the page didn't load with no way to get back to it. 10 minutes later I get an email confirming the approval and a link to buy the upgraded package. Clicked the link and it added it to my cart. Interesting thing is it seems that you can order more than 1 (or at least change the quantity), only ordered 1 though so don't know if you can actually get more. Checked out and got an order confirmation. Says it's expected to ship in 2-3 days with expedited shipping.
Someone who doesn't want their vr? In Europe we get nothing
Thanks dude didn't, thing about ordering threw the app. I did the first part on the website and thought I would have to wait the two weeks for the immersive bundle. Props
