Best Buy?

Anyone know if the Note II will be on sale at best buy tomorrow? I plan on buying the phone outright on my best buy card and getting the 13 month no interest and making payments.
I've already ordered the micro sim activation kit from the tmo website for .99 cents. $35 activation fee is waived if you do it online.
I tried calling best buy but of course the rep said she didn't know and to check back tomorrow. People on here are always more informed that people working at brick and mortar stores so I thought I'd ask. I've been looking online every day since they announced that it will be coming to tmobile.
Can't wait to get my hands on this device. I've been waiting what seems like years!

I work at bestbuy mobile an we usually don't carry any tmobile phones in store. You have to order it to be shipped to your house.

Thanks for the heads up. Didn't even realize this cause I've been with Sprint for so long. Guess I'll have to wait a few more days.
Are they showing up in your inventory? Will they be on sale tomorrow?
TIA for any info you can provide.

Sprint has announced that theirs would be available for purchase on the 25th, a few weeks ago? (or was it only 1 week... it's been so long waiting!)
here's one of the many articles on it:

Sorry, I meant in Best Buy.

My local Best Buy in Mountain View said that they will carry Sprint's Note 2 on launch day, but it's first come first serve basis.

As some friendly advice, have a backup plan just in case. When I worked there, sometimes we didn't get phones for a few weeks. Happened frequently with Verizon. They want exclusivity for a week or two.

I'm in the same boat, but make sure you do BestBuy's price match thing because for example the Galaxy S3 from Verizon retail store is $599 while Bestbuy's price is $699. Also at some point closer to the holiday season BestBuy is suppose to match Amazon and other online retailers instead of just local retailers. Good luck

They match amazon now.

Oh nice I wasn't sure whether they had started yet. Now if they'd just match Ebay prices, BestBuy could be my one stop shop for electronics.

Lol. Yeah they match amazon and not third dealers on amazon if that makes sense.

Walmart said that they won't be carrying the Sprint Note 2.

Well, the note 2 is at least listed on the best buy website but it looks like they are already sold out. Gonna call best buy when they open to see if they them in stock on a whim.

T-mo won't let you buy the phone outright on the website
You have to select a plan before it will let you check out.

Doesn't ship with multi Window.

If you get it through T-Mo directly they charge $369 after a $50 Mail in Rebate plus tax on the retail price of $649. Total you pay up front with them is $473.35. Compared with us Total is $279.99 Flat! You save $193.36 with us!! Hit me up on PM and I can help you get a good deal. I dont want to post a link in case it is against XDA rules. If this post is against XDA rules as well, Mods, please delete and let me know if there is a kosher way to share this. I don't want to break any rules.

Got mine from wirefly for 280

Congratulate me guys, i just got the Note 2 after using the GS1 for the longest time (over 2 years) What a great phone! I paid 310 up front, and 20/month for 20 months, so phone ends up being.. about 710? not bad.

Just purchased mine for $688.00 OTD w/taxes and the only reason they sold it to me was that I already had a Monthly4G plan with them but they only had 3 and they were for new activations or current customers.... Not liking the missing multitasking though...

just annoyed since sure, it makes business sense to reserve them for new and upgrading customers. Buy if I'm buying a tmobile branded phone I am, with a 99.99% probability, going to be using the phone on their network and I'll still be using their service... Not to say I've been a tmo customer for 7 years but because I'm not a new customer or ready to extend my contract 2 years, I have to wait

Try out the Nexus 6 a few days before it's released at T-Mobile!

Coming back from one of my local T-Mobile stores I was able to find out that Nexus 6 stock should be coming in a few days before the 12th (some state as much as 4/5 days before release). That said the Reps will be able to have and use a Demo model that while not all Retailers will have a kiosk ready for to use, you can ask to try it out before release!
My local Store specifically stated that Next Monday (The 10th) will likely be the date of when the shipment will come in for most stores (Demo units and stock prep for the release on the 12th).
I suggest anyone who has any last minute reservations about the Nexus 6 to go into your local T-Mobile Store early next week to see if they have a demo model ready to show off and use!

We are not supposed to bring out any type of demo until release. Of course there are stores who do not follow policy. No one really knows when that stock will come until they get an email for the next days shipment.

If that's the case, pre-orders better be shipping out before demo units.

If thats the case they need to open up preorder again this week. Want a play edition version.

I hope T-Mobile has it on the 12th so I can have it before Google sends out the phones to the pre-order folks. I guess I'm just jealous of the few people who actually ordered successfully on the 29th. That was b.s.

Hope this is true. Will be scoping out T-mobile stores this weekend

FYI to all those interested, the T-Mobile phone will likely be the same as the play store. However, Verizon and Sprint likely won't allow it on their network. The play store Nexus 6 should have it's IMEI in everyone's system, but I doubt you will be able to get a T-Mobile purchased Nexus 6 activated on Sprint or Verizon. At least not without some work.

Was it a corporate store? I've worked for tmo and been with them for many years. Unless the manager is lax or its a corporate store they don't let you walk about h less you have service with them. Aside from prepaid that is.

Why don't you think it will work if it's "the exact same phone"?

It will be funny if I can walk into the store on the 12th and pick one up before the people who pre-ordered from Google.

Asking or calling the store. There's no online resource for this. There's franchises, resellers . those stores want to make money on account not just sales of devices. They'll refuses off contract phone sales, specially on hot items. Some people on here will tell you they have but they could be living in another part of the country, different stores, etc. You're welcome to call and ask your local stores but don't be surprised if they say no.

It was a T-mobile store in a mall, and the cashier sold it to me, no manager was involved. I recently went to a different store when the Note 4 came out and asked (to see if I still could buy it outright). The employee said yes and showed me the price to buy it ouright, which was $30 more than the full price with a postpaid plan.

Just called my tmobile local store. Biiig NO on selling the device without an account.

Sprint Will Have The Nexus 6 Available For Sale Online And In Stores On November 14th

Sprint is touting the Nexus 6's support for its Spark LTE network and Easy Pay plans. You can get the new Nexus on Sprint for $29 per month for 24 months, or pay the entire cost of $696 up front.
At least, we're getting more information which is good. Anyone getting it on Sprint? Remember you can pay the full cost, pop in another carrier's sim and be on your way.

sprint user purchased on goog play. paid full amount to stay off contract. already have the nano sim.
thanks for posting.

Thier not gonna have a contract price?

Did the phone come with a proper nano sim from Google or did you have to get one from a Sprint store?

Why would it come with a sim? You get your sim from your carrier.

Thanks for posting. I think I'll still be ordering from the play store just because I'd like the option to bring this phone to another carrier at will but hopefully these preorders will help clear up the inventory on the play store in the beginning of December when I'm planning to order the phone.

This information is correct. I spoke to someone at the store and they told me that the phone will arrive there in a few days and will be ready for sale on the 14th.
My main question was if they are going to have the 64gb since there are rumors going around that sprint will only sell 32gb. I was basically told that they still don't know because the corporate email hasnt been sent. They also told me that they may have the 64gb since similar thing happened with the iphone6. They were told that they will only sell certain models, but in the end they got them all.
edit. called the customer support and after looking into it, i was told that all versions and colors will available.

They're most likely misreading the memo which says only Midnight Blue 32GB will be offered but then goes on to list the other models and that those models can be purchased through Google and cannot be covered under TEP.

I wish people would quit saying this. There is no memo. Nothing official has been passed around. I know it doesn't mean anything to anyone but my neighbor who is over all engineers over all of the LTE roll out here in Michigan and all of Cali and Hawaii says all 4 options will be available. Like I said, take that for what you will.

This is good news for Sprint users but why was only one price point mention?

T-mobile got delayed to the 19th.

For Sprint it would dumb not to sell all versions. That's potentially going to cost them customers. For them it's all about income.

Sprint will most definitely be only selling the 32GB Midnight Blue version. But any version will work if you buy from the Play Store

Sprint Nexus 6 Shipment/Stock

Just got off chat with a Sprint rep. Come to find out Sprint never had stock of the Nexus 6 and is now saying they are waiting on a shipment to send out to customers who have already paid for the device in order it was placed via web or telesales. So what this means is they are giving a "timeframe" of 2-10 business days for shipment.
This is bold face lying to the customer. To say you can "buy" the device on 11/14 was never true. Sprint basically said they would sell you one but never had stock.

A Sprint employee on the Sprint subreddit (r/sprint) said that the Sprint warehouses are still showing 0 inventory, which means stores will also be at 0 inventory today. So disappointing.

Last Thursday there were ~15 cargo ships parked off the Los Angeles ports waiting to unload due to a truck driver protest. Don't think it's any better today.

Got off the Chat again with customer care. I requested a credit. They issued a $15 credit due to the trouble.

Could you pass up the foodchain to your corporate overlords to not be jagoffs and add Motorola-purchased IMEIs to their whitelist? Because Sprint homebase office rats are apparently either idiots or jagoffs. Possibly both.

Looks like we won't see them till the 21st or later.

Just talked to sprint and guy said they are in warehouse and shipping tomorrow. He said there was an internal glitch

So anyone with sprint have a nexus 6 on their account? I'm hoping since it's not officially released from sprint (no in store activations) that the Moto orders will work once sprint starts activating Nexus 6 on accounts.

Maybe that is true. I just tried to cancel my Nexus 6 order for a Note 4 (I know, I know). But the rep said that he couldn't cancel it because the Nexus is ready to be shipped!!!
Here's a copy of that part of the convo:
Steven: Yes. Just do not navigate on another page on this tab.
Steven: Thank you. One moment please as I look up your order.
You: Ok
Steven: I was able to locate your order. Before we continue, I will need to authenticate your account. The following questions are designed to prevent unauthorized access to your account.
Steven: May I have your 6-10 digit account PIN please?
You: My security answer is *******. I always forget the pin.
Steven: Thank you. One moment please while I review your information.
Steven: I have some good news and some bad news. Which would you like first?
You: Oh man. haha the Bad.
Steven: The bad news is that the order cannot be canceled at the moment.
Steven: But the good news is the reason.
Steven: The order cannot be canceled, because a device was already assigned to your order, packaged and placed on our loading docks, waiting for UPS to pick it up. So that would mean that in a maximum of 24 hours, your order will have a tracking number and a delivery schedule!
You: Oh man that's great!!!! Steven you are the man!
Steven: Thank you.
Steven: Would you like help with anything else today?
You: No that's great. Thank you for the help
