Info in the 4G GT 10.1 from Verizon. Pre-orders start June 8th, but no ship date mentioned yet.
"Verizon Wireless will offer two 4G LTE-enabled Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 models both priced with two year customer agreements: $529.99 for the 16GB model and $629.99 for the 32GB model. For more information on the Samsung Galaxy Tab, go to: www.verizonwireless.com/galaxytab4glte."
Price seems a bit high considering it's with a 2 year contract. Hmm..
And more importantly, the linked page gives some basic specs, but makes no mention of micro SD (was assuming the 4G version might have this if the Wifi one doesn't).
microSD Card slot please?
Will there be a microSD card slot w/ this 4G version? If so, curse you Verizon/Samsung for you have successfully wooed me away from the WiFi only version!
DANG IT!!

I would go ahead a say that the price is insanely too high. So basically you are required to get a 2 year contract with almost no subsidized price incentive.
So the Verizon has moved to the next level of how far they can push the bar in their favor. You are now required to have a 2 year contract with all of its ETF glory to even have the privilege of purchasing a Galaxy 10.1 at near full price from them.
Wow, how far we have come from the options of full price but no contract or almost free but 2 years required. Excellent. Now we can only hope for this to be soaked up by debut ridden folks quickly....
The following is basically assumptions and guesses on my part.
I'm assuming Verizon is subsidizing about $200 on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 4G (that is what they subsidized on the Xoom). And the off contract price for the 16GB model is $730.
That means you are paying $230 for the 4G modem.
The Motorola Xoom for example costs $800 for the 3G/4G model and $600 for the wifi model. So you are paying $200 for it's 3G modem with free 4G upgrade later.
So the 4G modem in the Galaxy tab is only $30 more compared to the Xoom and you won't have to go through the hassle of shipping your tablet in for a 4G upgrade.
Also there is the possibility the 4G model has micro SD, so that might also be while the 4G model costs a bit more.
So the price seems a bit high, but maybe there is a reason for it. Just wish these carriers would subsidize more than $200 on these tablets. And I don't get why these modems add so much to the price of a tablet in the first place.
The big question is whether Verizon is going to deface the device with their logo....
price is right in line with the xoom as the OP mentioned.
nobody said tablets were or had to be cheap.
ipad 2 - 32gb - att/verizon - $729
quit *****ing
Seems like a good deal. $139 for new customers, $149 for upgrades, and $589 with no contract.
Samsung Galaxy S III 4G Android Phone, Blue 16GB (Sprint)
I have used All Samsung Galaxies including S4 and using HTC one currently(AT&T Model). I really liked the G2. I am very desperate to buy this phone. So this thread is mainly to share the places where you can buy this phone, coupons if any. I am looking for AT&T compatible version only since i want to take advantage of the LTE. We can share places for International Version also.
Hopefully this an Unlocked AT&T Version Pre-order($619 only):
http://negrielectronics.com/lg-g2-unlocked-white.html?gclid=CI28rpKehbkCFcue4AodIikAIw#.Ug_SJZKHuCB
International Version Unlocked- available right now($900).. Removable battery and Slot for Microsd card, Not compatible with AT&T LTE, works on 3G though:

...and if your in the UK

Good post
Thanks for these information.
Mediamarkt in Germany lists it for 499€ http://www.mediamarkt.de/mcs/product/LG-G2-weiß,48353,464028,900020.html?langId=-3
It's the 16 gb version though. Compared to galaxy s4 which costs 519€ I'd say we are in for a very nice price like the optimus g when it came.
Where buy NY
Hello,
My girlfriend goes to NY in november, so where i can buy LG G2 cheaper?
I saw in bestbuy but, is very expensive. Here in Brasil is much more, i know, but, in amazon i found about 200 dollar less...and i want a physically store...Some Help?
I got mine on Sunday for $49 from Best Buy. First they price-matched the Amazon.com price of $99 (down from their price of $199). Then they had a promotion going with the G2 where if you traded in any old working smartphone they'd give you a $50 gift card to use towards the purchase. Couldn't pass up that deal.
Hi everyone
Thought I'd make a thread for prospective Australian owners to discuss the device.
I'm personally super excited by the fact that the Nexus phone is a phablet. A bit less enthused by the price but we'll wait for the official $AU price. It'll still be cheaper than the $900+ Note 4 which is its only other competitor currently.
Looks like it'll be coming to Telstra in December according to the well connected and reliable Crazy CS from Whirlpool:
http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=2324246&p=3#r50
If so, that means it'll probably get released in JB Hifi and Officeworks. Maybe it'll be a bit cheaper like last year with their marginally better than RRP prices for the Nexus 5.
Anyways discuss away
I'm excited with this release and been waiting for this phone but bit disappointed with the listed price, I was hoping @ 500 mark.
Carrier release info:
http://ausdroid.net/2014/10/16/which-australian-carriers-will-offer-the-nexus-6-and-nexus-9/
I paid like 700 for the Galaxy Nexus here OZ. I'd pay it again for a smaller a Nexus 6. Why is there no choice if you want better battery and stock Android?
Re: Prices
So the AU prices for the Nexus 9 are out. As you can see there is roughly a 1.2x multiplier from the US price which is fortunately less than currency conversion + GST.
http://www.amazon.com/HTC-Nexus-Tablet-8-9-Inch-Black/dp/B00M6UC5B4
https://play.google.com/store/devic...Wi_Fi_Indigo_Black?id=nexus_9_black_16gb_wifi
Nexus 9
16GB = $399.99 US = $479 AU – 1.198 multiplier
32GB = $479.99 US = $589 AU – 1.227 multiplier
Plus of course the $19.95 shipping.
Extrapolating to the Nexus 6 (1.2 multiplier)
32GB = $649.99 US = $779.99 AU = $799.94 shipped
64GB = $699.99 US = $839.99 AU = $859.95 shipped
https://play.google.com/store/devices/details/Nexus_6_32GB_Midnight_Blue?id=nexus_6_blue_32gb
Preorder link but not open for pre-orders yet.
Personally a bit high for me as a day 1 purchase from the playstore. Think I might wait a couple of weeks and try to nab one off a local retailer (JB/OW/HN etc) for 10-20% off ala what happened with the Nexus 7. Although come to think of it, did they ever stock the nexus 5/4? Thought they only sold nexus tablets?
From past history grey importers like Kogan/DWI have not sold Nexuses for cheaper than RRP either.
Hmmm....needs more thought.
wow, not buying at that price point, goole lost me with this one.
Gone are the days of Nexus being device for poor man, they've joined the premium club.
With the release of the FCC data of the international and US version of the N6, we can see the lte and 3g bands they support. http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/nexus-6-fcc-t2917562

850Mhz (B5) FDD (000000??????????) – Vodafone (refarming 5Mhz of 3G to 4G across all metro areas by end of 2014)
900Mhz (B8) FDD (0000000000000080) – Telstra (a handful of sites, utilises spectrum previously used by 2G)
700Mhz (B28) FDD (0000000008000000) – Telstra, Optus (switched on early in a couple of cities, will be widespread in 2015)

Before the Nexus 4, Nexus devices weren't cheap. The nexus 6 and 9 are definitely not as cheap as I'd want but they're still cheaper than the competition and google has upped the build quality a lot
Sent from my LG G2 running CloudyG3 ?
Well I paid $800 for the Galaxy Nexus (my first ever Android phone) when it was released - it was cool when I got it but looking back I wouldn't have got that phone again. Could've got the Galaxy S2 cheaper at the time.
The Nexus 6 looks to cost about $750 for the 64gb version shipped, purchased from overseas of course. From talking with some phone guys at Telstra they expect the Nexus 6 to retail outright around $800-$900, depending on where you get it from. That is not a good deal in my opinion. Considering the inflation in our prices for tech devices between $750 and $850/$900 could be very close to right for the 64gb version.

Buy from Google play for $699 + the usual $50 shipping to Australia will put it at $749 for the 64gb or purchase through carrier at the (as I was told) approximate price between $800 and $900 per phone.
$900 for Nexus 6 is actually more expensive than the Note 4; you can pick that up cheaper elsewhere.

Oh, but then you wouldn't have decent telstra 4g... I though you had another way of getting the international edition.

If you wanted the phone cheaper with Telstra 4G I would get a Telstra plan (with no phone included) and buy the Nexus 6 outright from Google.
That is not a cheap option BUT could be slightly cheaper than going direct to Telstra. Telstra may have the best 4G network but in reality it is not much better than the other carriers. Fact. Telstra are WAY overpriced. I quit them for Vodafone and while Vodafone is cheaper and the internet is slightly less stable, I'm still able to carry on my business as per normal without problems.
FYI my original Telstra plan was:
$80 per month which included:
- 1 phone (Samsung Galaxy Ace)
- 1.1 gigs download per month
- 100 free calls
- 100 free texts
- 50 free international calls
- Locked in for TWO YEARS
My current Vodafone plan is:
$28 per month which includes:
- 2 gig download per month
- 500 free calls
- 500 free texts to any phone in Australia
- Locked in for one year
- Free phone (ironically, Samsung Galaxy Ace)

Pretty much what I'm planning to do.
I need the reception as I spend a lot of time in really marginal service areas where the extra range of 700mhz of 850mhz should make a significant difference.
I've thought about Optus, as they have a pretty decent remote area coverage but it just isn't as good as Telstra. I'm on a Telstra plan already, so I'll just keep going with that.

I signed up for the 70$ byo testa plan the other month.. receive 3.5gb for upgrading 950 in calls and unlimited sms/mms... I grandfathered my previous plan from when I got my galaxy nexus due to the value dropping significantly in that time period up to now. I continually complained when they used to call to try and get you to upgrade. Nexus 6 will be preorder on first available date just like with the 9 last week

wow, google is really screwing us now. At current conversion rate US 650 comes to AUD 758, instead we'll have to pay AUD 869 for 32GB version, not happy at all. Not sure if delivery is on top of that or is included?
For AUD 60 more, 64GB device makes more sense if anyone buys, that is.
Edit: change AUD 30 to 60

Sprint
Sprint has confirmed that it will offer both devices through its leasing program. The Galaxy S6 with 32GB of storage can be had for $80 a month, which covers both the service and device cost. The Galaxy S6 Edge will cost $85 a month. Sprint customers can upgrade to the 64GB model for $5 extra a month, or $10 more for the 128GB model. Sprint's Boost Mobile prepaid arm is offering the Galaxy S6 starting at $650 without a contract. The carrier didn't announce pricing for devices purchased on a two-year contract or at full retail.
Why AT&T gets away charging $85 more than Verizon baffles me. But hey at least higher storage capacities are available and it's not just 32gb. Why we can't have the emerald green and blue variants I'll never understand.
Oy... I wasn't in pain until I saw the full $$$ amount of the 128 Edge in writing.
Oh well... better make a stiff drink and go ahead and get this out of the way -_-
anybody else mad we only get 3 colors?
and on top of that verizon is only doing black and white.
why can't samsung just sell devices on their website, this **** is annoying.
Looks like AT&T'S pre-orders are live. Not sure how long but I just went to att.com and noticed

I'm mad and simultaneously happy.
I was getting nowhere on deciding between the Emerald S6 Edge and the Black Sapphire, but seeing as the Emerald one isn't even a choice, it made the decision easier lol.
Of course, I might end up buying the Emerald one and selling the Black Sapphire depending... but for now, I'm good.
I'm also a little salty that AT&T didn't bother throwing in a wireless charging pad with pre-orders or something. Considering the price of the phone (and the fact that Best Buy is offering the the pad for pre-orders) they really could have thrown people a bone. Especially since it appears they decided to put their damn branding on the back of the device -_-
I did some digging and found the sprint prices for 2 year agreement by logging into my account and going to shop for phones.
32 gb $199.99
64 gb 349.99
128 gb 449.99
That's a little steep imo for the 64 gb one. I don't know about you guys.

According to Sprint's website, the prices are actually
$199/$299/$399
$299/$399
for the standard and edge respectively. Looks like the 128GB Edge might not be happening though?
I thought we were finally at a point last year when storage bumps were $50 instead of $100.

Because they can. No other reason. They do it to raise the cost of the monthly installment payments.
