returning or trade in - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

I'm trading in my s7e for s8+ do I need to return all accessories from the s7e back or just the phone itself? I really wanna keep the fast charger for my note 4 and don't wanna be charged for it...

Who are you trading it in with? I was wondering the same thing, I'm sending mine back under the Samsung Upgrade Programme but I want to keep the charger...

It's to pay off eip because I jumped to another phone....I mean right? Lol that is what they told me

I believe TMobile offers up to $650 credit to payout your other carrier device.

lol I have that same feeling, any idea on RAM and Internal storage?
Do you really think that the store will sell out so you have to spend money pre ordering it?

well the first best buy I went was sold out so I just went to another and said F**K it and money is not an issue.
You do realize that the group of numbers right below the Val number is the transaction number? Which means any best buy employee can go print a duplicate receipt and claim it as their own? Just an FYI.
By the way, I totally pre-ordered my EVO. Can't wait for it!
I canceled my Best Buy preorder after learning they were charging $600 for the contract-free version, so I'm waiting to order one at my local Sprint store when they start taking names.

Where did you learn that, if you don't mind me asking??
EDIT: OK, I found the thread on Android Forums where some guy claims he had supposed phone conversations with 3 different BB employees at 3 different BB stores and that they all said $600. I'm sorry, I just don't believe it! Even if it is true (which I doubt) I can easily cash in my $50 BB gift card and walk 100 yards to the Sprint store to buy it for $450.
Are you sure that guy doesn't work for Sprint or Radio Shack?

did not know that but thank you for the tip, much appreciated!!
How much should you pay for the pre-order?
199? or full price?
OK, I take it back. I was just made aware of the fact that Best Buy is charging $599 for unsubsidized Heros.
Sprint only only charges $429.
I also just noticed (in the fine print) that the $50 Best Buy gift card is NOT redeemable for cash.

Were you able to get your money back from Best Buy when you canceled it? Do you know if there is a time limit for canceling? Does anyone know when Sprint will do preorders for the Evo? I ask because I just made my preorder today at BB and realized afterward they will steal $150 from me (it's not stealing, it's Capitalism which I'm all for, it still sucks though) and want to avoid that if at all possible.
i preordered in bestbuy but on my receipt it said to pick it up on june 5th?anyone else?

I made the stupid mistake of creating $300 in gift cards to help budget for this. If I get stuck having to pay another 300 there will be problems. They're going to adjust my price or refund my money.
As I understand it, you can use the gift card towards the price of the phone. Just pre-ordered mine today too.

I went in and they instantly gave me cash (paid with debit). I'm sure that you'd be fine getting a refund all the way until June. Just tell them that you don't want a marked up phone, and they hadn't released the price when you paid.

on the yellow bestbuy mobile receipt at the bottom right box where it says "best number and time to contact you" the sales rep wrote down "when phone release june 5th".very weird.

I guess I'm a lucky one

There's two people selling there Evo for $200 so I'm lucky question is should I wait for the 4 or buy it now
buy it outright that way you don't sign a 2 year contract. if you activate a phone that YOU own you don't sign a contract. It's month to month. PM me and let me know if the other one is for sale. I'll buy it now.

Like I said sounds fishy. The post has been deleted already and that ad looked fishy. It kind of looked like you were advertising it.
well I paid $430 for my HTC evo i/o Google phone shipped from a guy on Craigslist in sfbay California. I'm out of contract,so this price was just awesome. plus I got it

Purchase location

Is there anywhere I can purchase a nexus 4 in person without paying the insane 500$ off contract at, say, t-mobile? I'm interested in getting the 16GB for 350$ in person. Can anyone help out?

Look on craigslist as that would be the only place as no stores besides TMo sell it.

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.

Price reduced to $299

The price of the Galaxy Note 4 has been reduced online to $299, from $349.
I had already pre-ordered at $349. I called about a refund of the $49, and I was told to call back when I received the device, and I would be given a $50 credit on my account at that time.

Hopefully Best Buy will follow suit and the final price on delivery will be $299..then take off a $200 trade-in...woo hoo!
Good to know, thanks. Never would have thought to check the price after I ordered the phone. Will call when I get it and ask for the same 50 bucks.
I just got off the phone with sprint. They are not making me cancel my order and reorder. They said they will credit my credit card the difference paid when I activate the new phone.

Not exactly. Ordered it for my other line for my GF. I have it preordered at Best Buy and my work was nice enough to "donate" an S3 for me to trade in and get the $200.

I stand corrected. Thank you!
I called order processing and asked for the $50 dollar refund on Saturday. The girl put me on hold for a while and then came back and said she would apply the $50 to my account. A half hour later I got a text saying the refund had been applied, checked and it was there. I am on SERO I don't if this made the difference.

Best buy note price
Anybody have any idea why the best buy price hasn't dropped to $299 like everywhere else?
Is Best Buy still doing the $200 trade in? I judt went to preorder and dont see it..
UPDATE:
*I see it on Sprints page now.. but not BB. IDC who I get it from, just gimme my 2hondo bro..
**Traded in my old HTC 8925, Sprint gave me $ zero, lol.. hope the Samsung program pulls through...
Something strange is happening to me on sprint.com. I try to do a pre-order, getting to the last part where I would charge my CC. but my total is $300 with only .65 cents in taxes. I'm in California and it should be $64. I already have an in-store pre-order and traded it my device in, but I am now pulling my hair why at sprint.com i'm not getting charge taxes.... 2yr renewal price!

Best buy has there own trade in program, it's different from the Samsung promo. You get a 200$ bb gift card for any working smart phone, and they say *any* smart phone, no 10$ minimum like Samsung promo. My friend is turning in an old Treo.
Also the Samsung promo will not be honored if note 4 purchased at best buy.

That's freakin sweet. Only having to pay $100+ taxes, and hand in my eVo 4g lte, that's awesome. This phone has about had it, just 7 more days.
