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.

Is it only online for price match?

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.

Stores in the US selling unlocked N4?

Does anyone know of any stores in the US that will be selling the Nexus 4 unlocked (ie exactly the same as the GPlay version)?
Best Buy, etc? I can't find any info out on their website

T-Mobile is promoting the same unlocked version of the phone, and I'm pretty sure they will sell it unlocked and off contract in stores also, but then again, I don't know what the price will be since you will be in a "T-Mobile store" and they can slap any price tag on an off contract "T-Mobile" phone that is promoted through their network.

It's been predicted around $ 500.00
You are better off in Google Play Store

negri electronics has it on pre-order, they don't know when they'll ship though
price is $100 more than play store. seems to be the only option for anyone outside usa/canada at the moment

Thanks for your help, folks I can order off play store as I'm in the UK, but I'm visiting the US next week and the play store US dollar prices work out less than the UK prices, so I was hoping I could nab a bargain in store

Why would you do that? You won't get warranty then.

Price is more of a seller than a warranty. The phone works out over £40 cheaper if I bought it at Play store prices in the US instead of the UK

I'm going out to Canada for a week at the end of the month, so I'm tempted to buy one over there too. I think there may be something that we can do in terms of sales tax too, but I don't know how this works and whether it's worth the hassle...

Anyone know how long it takes for something to be shipped and arrive from the Google Play Store? like 3-6 business days?

Note 4 shipping updates

Lets use this thread to post when your Note 4 gets shipped. I pre ordered mine with Verizon online on 9/19 and according to the invoice I got it is supposed to ship by Oct 23.
Im hoping its before that!

Mine said two days before the 23rd of October

If the in store date is the 23d that seems reasonable.

Best Buy is going to have it on the 17th and you get the $200 instant gift card when you pick it up. Win-win. Get it before Verizon store and get the $200 right then without waiting on check from Samsung.

Mine also said the 23rd. But I can't see BB releasing on the 17 th and verizon not doing the same thing.
We all know Big V would rather ship early then change the date and end up being late.

Sorry if there was a misunderstanding on my part, but this is after trading in a working smartphone. This is the order I was told I should do it:
1. Preorder(get's you a $50 giftcard as well) the Note 4 within the specific time range(9/19/14-10/16/14)
2. On release day, bring in your trade-in and go through the process of getting the gift card for it.
3. Use both giftcards to buy the Note 4(of course you pay the difference if there's anything left over which there should be)

Since mine was ordered at Verizon, I had to spend $50 on a droid razr on Swappa, which is worth $15 trade in, so I will net $150, not ideal, but gets me half off.

Sweet lol i may do that haha kinda worried there isnt going to be a note 4 dev ed this go around

I preordered mine on Monday from Verizon and they said I should have it by the 23rd.

But...
... will it blend?
Damn it, I want to post on a dev thread. This 10 post thing is stupid. I'm an OSS dev already and this hoop jumping is nuts.

mine says still processing on the verizon site. Is everyone else seeing the same thing?

Well, I finally succumbed to the pressure... Preordered mine via the Verizon's website... Now all the obsessed clicks and refreshes of these forums shall commence lol.

Happy Nexus 9 Day!

Most of us won't get our Nexus 9's for a couple of days but its finally launch day! arty:

not here on the west coast (as of this writing)

my local best buy already says "available for pick-up" for the black model... the white one shows sold out though...

Mine does too and i'm temped to cancel my Amazon order but I don't think it's worth $20 to not wait an extra day

I'm going to try a local store today. Have no clue if they'll have them in stock but I'm driving by the store regardless. Would rather not wait for my pre-order to ship.

I just reserved one at my local Best Buy but was not able to cancel my Play Store order. Ah well, I guess I have two of them now.

I just got the email from Best Buy that my 32GB Black Nexus 9 is ready for pickup.
I pre-ordered through Amazon on the 16th and it looks like they only have the white
so I cancelled my order this morning.

Going to get mine in bestbuy

They had a sale last year but from what I remember, the site wasn't working and some people got to the check out page and the discounts didn't work. I'm also waiting for a deal because it was $150 off but that won't do you any good if they have technical issues with the site.

The 2013 also wasn't selling like the 2014. Less incentive for a big sale ...

Cyber Monday last year
There was a cyber monday event last year.
All Moto X got $150 off, but the website failed for almost whole day.
But Moto postpone its Cyber Monday Moto X deal last year.

WIth the 2013 version it was pretty easy to get a discount if you were within your return policy when the phone went on sale. It was a nightmare for me with the 2014 version (over an hour on the phone with multiple departments, etc), but it can be done without having to actually ship back your phone, which is what they tried to insist on.

Without the Costco cash, I would rather go for the Pure edition...

Im so getting one!

I received my Moto X last Friday and hence I'm within the 14 day return window. I've just got off the phone to see if I could get the £100 discount and all they offered me way a £100 credit against products on the website. In the UK this is really only the Moto 360 which I don't want. They said they couldn't just refund me £100 so I asked for a return label.
£100 can't be ignored so back it goes. Madness.
