I just saw that Best Buy lowered the price of the Dell Streak from $300 to $100 ($200 difference) after 4 months (release date on Att was Aug 13th) and was wondering if you guys think Best Buy will do this for the Nexus S as well?
They do this for alot of high end $200 android phones already so maybe in a few months you might be able to get the Nexus S for $0.01 with a 2 year contract?

Guess I should ask this question after 8 A.M....
I've got melting plastic in my wallett, itching to be used. Given the prices from last week, £360 for a Galaxy Tab, I was trying to resist til the 14th to make my decision.
But today I though, nah, must have one. Playback my DivX... Hooked up the two websites and...
Nope, that's me put off for a while.
Carphone Warehouse want £399.
Tesco Direct want £449.
Clove want £442
Expansys want £499
PC World want £407
Amazon want £408
Scan £450
Ahh well. Looks like Im waiting for the Galaxy Tab 2
try bestbuy.co.uk, main page says 399, but further down it mentions other deals, such as tab+16gig upgrade+pay as you go sim for 359
There going for $250 on contract in the U.S.
I got mine for $50 from TMOUS! Great deals to be had stateside.

how did you get it for $50 Pittphan? i'm also looking to pick one up on contract. if i can get it less than the advertised $250 on t mobile i'd love to do so. thanks!
i just check tmo's site and it's increased $100 off contract. last week i was considering getting another galaxy tablet and it was listed as $500 off contract for about a month. now it's back up to $600 off contract - you do get $50 off if you order online though.
actually it seems the price changes depending on what page you view -
prepaid is $600 plus web discount of $50 off. LINK
"normal" contract says retail is $500 LINK
kinda stupid to list the retail value differently for the same product.
Pretty great deal from Amazon, $49 for new contracts and $149 for current customers.
Samsung Galaxy Nexus 4G Android Phone (Verizon Wireless)
And I paid $790 at launch. *shakes head*

OK.. now i want to cry.. i used my upgrade March 10 after hearing the iPhone would still have a sadly small screen..
I paid $299 with contract..
GRRR.. such bad timing.. to get it for half that would have made things better..
I am about to burn my upgrade on this phone since I am not having any luck in the marketplace
Costco has the N3 for $229.99 plus a mail-in rebate of $50 with 2yr contract. Not only is this a great price, but it comes with an accessory pack. Available online or in-store till December 26th.

Looks like new accounts only. Upgrades are $229.99 after $50 rebate.
Amazon has the AT&T GN3 upgrade for $179.99. no rebate and membership required. Sorry, i cannot post URL since i'm still under the 10 post mark.
I feel stupid now that I payed 370$ after tax for N3 when it first came out

Ya there are some good deals for the note 3 with a new line. Amazon has it for $149, Costco $179 & Fry's $189. For upgrades Amazon is $179, Costco is $229 and I think Fry's price is still $189 for upgrade (sale right now). Only thing about going to Costco is that you only pay taxes on the amount you pay, not on the full price of the phone, this can save quite a bit. It's almost the same price as going thru Amazon, after taxes... Plus Costco give you the accessory pack. I'm personally waiting for it to go down to $179 at Costco. They seem to follow amazon's pricing, just a couple days later...
don't worry, atleast we got our notes unlocked off the bat no contract and sold them for profit!!!!!!
Got mine from Best Buy last week for $149, plus a free on contract S4. Walked out with both for $160 out the door.
Paid 67.99 for my Note. $50 preorder then traded in a S4 ($200) + Best Buy gift card for purchasing the phone ($50) and had 17.99 remaining for taxes and activation.
Same here except i traded a Sanyo Zio......... worth like 2 cents............. no way were they getting my Note 3.........lol
Bought the 50 buck preorder gift card. Went to store to pick up phone (with a crap trade in) realized I forgot the card, they told me I could bring it in and refund it. Went to my local store to do and the manager said there's no way to do it. He offered to reimburse me the cost of the zag tempered glass though, which was 40 and I got to keep the 50 gift card. So after all that it was like 115 for the note plus a 50 buck gift card. Complicated but I feel good about the result.

Unless I'm really bad at math, you got $300 in promotions. The phone costs $720, so how did you only pay $67.99?
He upgraded with 2 year contract so out of pocket cost is 300. He paid 50 dollar for a gift card as a down-payment to pre-order. He traded in phone and got 200 towards phone so now cost is 100. Got additional 50 for purchasing phone. So cost is now 50 tack on his state taxes of 17.99 equals 67.99

How did you guys get additional $50 gift card for purchasing the phone? Mine $118 otd, $50 preorder + $200 trade in (htc hero).
Best buy gave additional 50. They advertised it
I sort of paid $79 for mine after taxes and deposit (or 109 with the Amazon phone I traded in).
There's the $50 deposit, $200 for trading in an HTC Hero (that I paid $30 for), $50 GC for buying a phone this year at BB.
I say sort of because I got a $700 credit in store for my Note 2 as well since I kept having hardware issues with 3 Note 2's within a week. That also got me a Galaxy Gear Neo 2, WB350 Camera, a few other other small things.
This is in the sprint section. What abt the Verizon model?
sent from your moms phone
Imma have to take a visit to Bestbuy and see if they can honored the $50 bucks.
where is this extra $50 gift card everyone is talking about being advertised? please link
I got the $200 gift card for my trade in but i have not seen anything about another $50 GC...

There's two that I've heard of. One is a $50 coupon for trading in a phone; supposedly not many have luck with that one since it double dips. There's another one that is for the BB Reward members from February or so who signed up and said they'd buy a phone this year; I got this one. They basically have this one every year and you get it as long as you sign up, and buy a phone within that year. It'll pop up when you give them the phone number for your RZ account.
