Costco Prices

$789.99 month to month
$649.99 if you sign for a plan $20-$35 a month
$599.99 if you sign for a plan $50-$80 a month
1g for 20, 3g for $35, 5g for $50, and 10g for $80
So i guess my $699 was close, but was missing a lot of info...

Are those contract plans? Why would it be more than Verizons contract plan of 599?

Costco + More Expensive than Verizon = very suspect

Couldn't those be the price points for a 1yr and 2yr contract?

They are 2yr contracts for data plans.

Just called my local costco. Demo unit will be on display tonight.

Agreed, but with the game of price-swap going on and the fact the price isnt showing up on Verizon or Motorola’s website, leads me to think that this game might not be over. Less than 24 hours out, you’d think we’d see “for realsies” prices on web sites by now.
Yesterday was a “good news” day for the Xoom, lets hope that today isnt more akin to the days that preceeded it. This launch could have gone so much smoother...

The real important question is how much is the ETF??!! If it's the standard $200 then a contract is worth considering. If it's Verizon's new more expensive ETF, then no contract is a no brainer.

Engadget posted the Verizon Press Release.
"the Motorola XOOM will be available for purchase from Verizon Wireless for $599.99 with a new two-year customer agreement or $799.99 without a contract. Wireless 3G data service for the Motorola XOOM will begin at $20 monthly access for 1GB."

Thanks, although they could have just got it mixed up, it does appear that Verizon would be cheaper. This is really pissing me off, i may not be getting it at costco any more

But still worth it for the 90 day return policy. Will be swapping out for the wi-fi version immediately upon release.

I don't know what i'm going to do.. I really want the 90 day return policy, but Costco doesn't take VISA as payment.. Guess i'll have to get a cash advance from the bank before I head over to Costco.

I'm in the same boat. The thing I'm taking as higher importance is the warranty extension my Visa card gives me if I pay with it. I won't get the same thing if I pay with a debit card or cash.

Check the costco thread, someone is saying it's only a 14 day return period from costco on the xoom.

I ordered mine through Amazon for 1 cent with free 2 day shipping with a new contract. No taxes on the value of the phone and its 1 cent out the door. It may be free at Best Buy but be prepared to pay sales tax on 699.99 (their regular price wtf?). Thats $57.74 where I live (OC at 8.25% sales tax). Best Buy is not good for new contracts but good if you are renewing your contract because Amazon charges 99.99 for renewals. It is still free for renewing your contract at Best Buy.

Sales tax? What's that? I don't pay no sales tax.

I got mine 2 days ago for free at best buy. Sprint model. I live a hour and a half away from the closest best buy, so I called to see how much it was. The lady that answered said free. Well I drive up there and its $99 with upgrade. So I told the manager what happened and he gave it to me for free.

Can I get this on Verizon?

I have an iPhone under my mom's account. In theory could I get one under my name and cancel the contract? I know it sounds silly, but I would like both. Would I have to give AT&T the phone back if I cancel?

No you can get one under your name. You keep the iPhone you have. I got the Nexsus S on Saturday and will be going tomorrow to get my $99 back. It is actually cheaper to get on contract and cancel later as you will only have paid around $340 vs $529 buy out right without contract at Best Buy.

I just ordered mine online with BestBuy for the AT&T version .. pricing is ALL $ 0.00 .. no taxes added .. only other fee is an $ 18.00 activation fee which is billed to you by your provider.
So .. the actual purchase of the phone is physically FREE.

Got mine free today
sent from my new HTC Evo

whats the early term fee for the providers?

im a lil past the one year point with my evo,
the best buy upgrade indicator online tells me im ready for an upgrade if i renew my 2 year, however when i go to purchase it online it tells me im not available for upgrade.
ill go in at ten and find out what my options are, and report back for fellow xda'ers

Will it be free by adding a line?

I'm going to wait for the SGSII since it's a better spec phone. The Nexus S has no SD card slot and that's a no no for me. The plus side is the updates on that phone but that's about it.

It has been. I have absolutely no idea as to why they sent out a notice now.... screwy advertising.

wtf indeed. I got mine for $49 back in june.

Yeah, I bought mine for $49 (w/ two year contract) from BestBuy in July. The no contract price has not changed (I don't believe)

It was a penny from Amazon (w/2yr AT&T contract) back in June.

I happened to buy my 1st atrix outright because i had just reupped my contract for an i-4 and sold it to get the atrix a few days after it came out. not that I need to explain it to anyone such as yourself. If all you have to say is **** like what you did then save your breath. its not needed around here.

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.

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.
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2

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.

Yet you can get the phone from Sprint for 34 bucks a month and no contract. Although you will have to pay the phone off if you leave. But after 20 payments you can keep it or upgrade to the next. Don't know why anyone would pass up on such an offer. Plus you can pay it of early if you want and upgrade sooner.

Walmart appears to be a good deal for the Note 4 and other smartphones. For the fourth year (and maybe more), Walmart is offering a $100 gift card to purchasers of smart phones on Black Friday weekend.
