Yeah I hate the 90 day warranty but the credit card warranty should give you another 90 days.
According to slickdeals, you only get the perks if the previous owner did not use it.

That really is very cheap. The 90 day warranty is definitely a drawback but I wouldn't get excited about the "$600“ of freebies - I wouldn't say they were worth even $60 to me.

Yeah 90 day warranty sucks however if you plan on rooting the device it doesn't matter.

Yeah I hope people did read that before buying. Wounder if it is OEM refurbished or 3rd party.
P.S I know it says manufacturer refurbished but I wonder if actual Samsung did the refurbishment or if they got a another company to do it.

I got this deal earlier today. It would be nice if it had the freebies, but I'm not counting on it. I'll still try however. Now off to read about rooting this and when Kit Kat is expected.

I got one of the 2013 ones manufacturer refurbished and it had the dropbox 50gb for 2 years perk at least. You might get lucky. Most people who buy these tablets and then return them usually just get confused and want an ipad instead.

What is the shipping time on these?
I don't get anything when I click on it except the order page. But no details on shipping.

I purchased the 32gb version. I was very pleasantly surprised that I received all of the "add-ons", $25 Play Credit, $50 Samsung Hub Credit, 50gb of Dropbox, etc.

It took a couple of days for them to ship and then the UPS shipping info was all f'ed. It showed a delivery back in October with confirmation, told me the post office would deliver when in fact UPS delivered it, etc. If you see bad info on the UPS screen don't stress about it the tablet will arrive within a reasonable amount of time.

I ordered a 32GB one on 1/22, and it's predicted to arrive 1/30. It's shipping from New Jersey, and I'm on the west coast.
I also have the messed up tracking information. It looks like Groupon is reusing UPS tracking ids.
This is going to be a nice upgrade. My current tablet is a Toshiba Thrive. Chunky, but all the full-size ports (USB, HDMI, SD Card) were convenient. It's getting slow, though.

Ok, I just placed my groupon order. I guess all the 32GB were sold out, but given that I have a 64GB micro sd card, I'll live.
Not holding my breath on the perks, but we will see.
I have another 9 days before the return period is up on this Note 8. Hopefully it will overlap!

I ordered one on Saturday and it will be delivered tomorrow. Super excited about it and can't wait. Work is going to suck tomorrow.

Wow, that is great shipping time. Hopefully I get it just as fast.

Omg,
I really would want one of these. I have hte 2012 version, but not sure if I should get it refurbished.
Also, damn. It is the 16 GB version...
I have the 32 GB. Thoughts?

Mine came in today and it looks perfect. From the shipping tracking on UPS, its been sitting in NJ since October 16. I doubt anything was wrong with them to be refurbished. Probably just returned.

But, what should I do with my 2012 edition 32 GB tablet. Will people buy it? How would I go about selling it!
I want to sell that first.

HTC Hot Deals 11/11 - $300 HTC One, who nabbed one?

I can happily say I'll be back in the HTC One family as soon as mine ships! I managed to nab a $300 Developer edition HTC One, really excited about getting it
I'm currently back on a Nexus 5 to try Lollipop, but I'm selling it as soon as the One hits my doorstep.
Did anyone else take advantage of this sale? It wasn't as alluring as grabbing the new Nexus 9 at $199 (which, for the record, d move to do on 24 hours after releasing it), but it was still a great deal for anyone looking for a flagship phone at (probably) less than half price.

I already got a T-Mobile M8. And I was able to nab a glacier silver unlocked edition. For 299 lol. No nexus 6 for me

I got one for the sole purpose of making a profit by selling it, considering that I already have an m8 that I bought at $800 when it first came out!

Got one - I assume, the page crashed when I submitted my order, but got the order email and they charged my card, I to have the nexus 5, not sure which one I'll keep, pass the other down to my son.
Depends on which has better audio ?

Yeah I'm actually on the exact same boat right now with the nexus 5. Overall the HTC is a better phone (hardware wise - especially audio-wise, for both recording and output). There's obviously more profit to be had by just selling the One in-box though.
I've had the One before, it's an awesome phone. It just got a little too banged up without a case/skin so I traded it in. Letters came off and all that - I just never said anything in the forum. Definitely not making that mistake again though; I'm putting a thin case or skin on it.
I think I've come to the realization that even better than having the "best" or newest phone (I.e. nexus 6 or 6 plus or Note 4), is having gotten one of the best deals. So, good-enough value trumps newness. Maybe, maybe not. We'll see.

Thank you for ordering on HTC. Unfortunately, one or more of the products you ordered is currently out of stock and could not be shipped. The product(s) has been placed on backorder and will be shipped as soon as stock becomes available. You will receive another email notification when your order has actually shipped.

Best Buy $100 trade in program.

Looks like Best Buy is running the $100 trade in program again. I took advantage of this when I got my N9.... I wonder if they aren't selling well enough?
Even though they have this going on, none of the stores by me have any in stock and it's been that way for a while.

Best Buy has had the $100 trade in program since before Nexus 9 was released.

Anyone having trouble finding a White Nexus 9 in stock at their local Best buy?
There's like 10 Bestbuys within 30 miles of me and none have any white ones in stock. Neither the 16gb or 32gb.
The 16gb Black looks to be the most plentiful.

Yup, I went to BB the other day to trade my original N9 in and they had two 32gb black, zero white and about 20 16gb black.
I don't see white ones in stock at any BB in my area (Central Texas).

I did this a couple of weeks ago. I traded in my 8gb 2012 Nexus 7 (normally they would only give $10 for this), and was able to get a 32 gb Nexus 9.
I did run into an issue where the Nexus 9 wasn't in stock and the $50 coupon is for in-store use only. When they went to order it for me, their system wouldn't take the coupon and they told me coupon could only be used in the store. I reminded them that we were in the store having this conversation. The manager ended up "taking care of it", and knocked $50 off of the price.

ive read on the best buy forums there have been mixed results on doing this in store with random tablets because they are not in the system. i have read that people who complain on the best buy forum, and with an admin/ cs rep responding, will get success because apparently the rep is contacting the store directly to have them push the trade in through.
i love my launch day moto xoom but love the nexus 9 a bit more ..

Galaxy Note 7 will be disabled via update in the US on December 19

For thoose that still have a Note 7 ... http://www.sammobile.com/2016/12/09...disabled-via-update-in-the-us-on-december-19/

Sprint just filed a refund of $400 for the 2 year contract price of our Note 7 and reset upgrade eligibility despite it being eligible.
I was hoping to hold out for S7 Edge price drop or the S8. I'd prefer not to downgrade to a year old phone at this point.
The $75 credit is enticing, but the S7 Edge is still $299 on 2-year contract so it's a token gesture. I'll just wait for the S8.

The text I got from Sprint today said beginning Jan 8 the Samsung death update will start being pushed out. The update will stop the ability to charge the phone and remove mobile functionality.

CALL 844-365-6197 TO SAMSUNG.. TELL THEM YOU BOUGHT YOUR PHONE FROM EBAY AND LOST THE RECEIPT. PROCESS A FULL REFUND FOR ANY SCREEN PROTECTORS $10.00 EACH AND PHONE CASES $25.00 EACH PHONE REFUND 849.99. THEY'LL SEND YOU A BOX THEN A CHECK FOR THE TOTAL.. DONE PAY SPRINT BACK THE DIFFERENCE OR KEEP THE MONEY IF PAID IT IN FULL... IM DONE.. I use my phone exclusively for my lively hood.. I found a new Note 4 for 200.00 bucks ran smart switch and moved on.... I'll wait for a Month after Note 8 comes out before I jump again on it.

Confirmed, this appears to work. I just got off the phone with Samsung. I was told that they are sending a shipping box and I have to return the phone. 10 - 14 days after they receive it, I will get a check for the full amount plus $35 (case & screen protector). i still have my Note 5 so that should get me by until the S8 comes out.

I rooted using the Super Leaky Bros method. I'm using the userdebug root with the PH9 firmware add-on (or whatever its called.) Literally everything works perfectly (including S-Pen.) But I don't think Samsung/Android Pay will work since its rooted.

so, you guys gunna get the S8+ or wait for the Note 8?

Scored a brand new T719 for $260

I had to drive over an hour, and then the place was hard to find, but I just kept thinking it was worth it..... brand new, LTE, Qualcomm processor. And sure enough I really love it! Seems way smoother than my old Tab S with exynos.
I had a problem updating it, but now I know I can always flash the latest world firmwares from Sammobile. Managed to update my security patch level from May to November. I don't figure there will be much to flash, but I may root it today, and then just always flash and root the latest international firmwares.
The big surprise is that my Tmobile smartphone sim works in the tablet, and seems to possibly work fully! Texting, phone calls, and data! Makes me tempted to up my plan to a One unlimited data plan, but maybe that's getting too crazy. So far it seems to work like a regular phone tho!
Anyway, I'm happy with this acquisition. Any other T719 owners here with tips or Info? Thanks

The "7" is the LTE, right?
I've just ordered then wifi only one (no use for LTE/phone tech), Snappy core.
I saw a review that showed the Snappy and the Exy side by side - the Snappy was visibly faster on doing the same thing and posted a benchmark some 30% higher than the Exy core one.
Should be good... hopefully, when (if) it arrives.

I saw a post somewhere here where someone explained what each digit means, but I believe the 7 indicates that it's the smaller model, in this case 8 inches, as opposed to the 8xx, which is the 9.7 inch model.
But in any case, I think you'll like it, it actually runs smoothly. This is my first Tab S2, but I had the Tab S with Exynos, and it was super stuttery, especially considering it's an expensive device!

Nice, but I got an even better deal. I bought a T710 for $100 because the Wifi wasn't working. I figured the seller had just messed up somehow and maybe I could fix it. Turns out I don't need to. The warranty is good until Nov 2017 so Samsung is fixing it for free!!!

I think you're right - the last digits say the sub-type.
13 = wifi
17 = lte, as far as I know.
And the other guys - it makes you wonder... why didn't the seller do the warranty thing?
I mean... if something breaks down.. the very first thing I do (after a yell of frustration) is to check the warranty to see if it's still valid.
Good catches though!

Their policy is one year from the original date of sale. But not being the original buyer, I don't know what that was. I bought it on eBay from what appears to be an online dealer selling many different products.
All I know is that when I contacted tech support, they checked the serial number and gave me the info about the build date and warranty expiration. It is now in route to NJ for repair.

Ah ok, nice! Keep us posted. In my case I got a phone from a vendor at the mall, so he perhaps didn't even want to mess with sending it in, since he had a pile of phones to sell lol. But still I wonder if he would have done it if he would have known..

I've just read my warranty booklet that came with the just arrived GTab 2 9.7 - two years.

Delivered Monday evening, one week after it was shipped to Samsung. Looks and works like a brand new tablet.
