I am very dissapointed. I saved up enough money to buy one and now they are all out!
Might have something to do with the fact they haven't lowered the price on the 8525s yet...bet they have plenty of those, lol!
you can stil go into the store and get it. I just got one for my gf yesterday. they still have like 2 left.
lol i got mine the day they came out (went in for a memory card for my 8525) and bought one for my GF as well. they were the only 2 they got in stock thus far.

I can wait...I was just informing other users who might want to purchase it. I can't go into the store and get one for that price or for even 399 until my two years is up which is in April.
I recently ordered one of these through my premier account for my fiancee and was told it was back ordered but they are expecting more in 5-7 business days. Also, I got AT&T to match Amazon's price of $200!

They have not lowered them through the retail channel yet but on their business site / Premier it was listed for $100 while supplies last.

How did you manage to have AT&T match Amazon's price of $200 dollars? Did you call somebody directly @ premier site? Were you able to purchase the tilt and have it shipped to you when it arrives...because I would like to do that.
Thanks,

No doubt!...I'm going to drop in the store right now and see. I'm still in my 30 day return timeframe...I'll threaten that and see if they budge.

When I call AT&T Customer Service I automatically get routed to the business division because of Premier. I originally bought the Tilt for over $400, but then I returned it when I found it for about $200 on Amazon (No Tax) and NewEgg (Tax). Before I returned the phone I talked to a CSR and they would not match the price. When I went to purchase the phone again for whatever reason neither Amazon nor New Egg could verify my eligibility for an upgrade so my orders would get automatically canceled. After numerous calls to CSR's at AT&T who were completely clueless on how to revert my contract back to upgrade status, I finally asked for them to match Amazon's price again. This time the CSR did it on the spot with no problems.
And yes I was able to purchase the phone so it will be shipped when it is no longer on back order. BTW I was not even told it was back ordered when I purchased the phone.

The last CSR I spoke to was very surprised that they did not just credit me the difference in price, instead of making me return the phone to buy it elsewhere.
Got one today
I am surprised to hear about the out of stock. I ordered one yesterday from the National Business Office and they had it overnighted to me. I just got it this afternoon.
Btw, this thing is heavy as a brick compared to the Hermes.

I knew I should have ordered it last night when I had the chance that's what I get for taking the girl out to dinner instead of ordering the phone. Oh well. Guess I will just have to wait for now.
Man, I am glad I got mine when I got mine.
Just placed an order on the national business order line and was promised delivery in 3-5 days

Actually you can. I said I had a problem ordering online and went into the store to get it. Got all the same rates as online. Just need you Premier business account info. Only thing I had to do was pay $399, but then I got a $100 rebate to send in.
Squaretrade is offering 35% discount today. Enter "SECRET" to get the discount. I just got 2yr. accidental damage plan for the NC for $25! BTW After getting confirmation, I felt a sense of relief about the NC. Strange I know but I just felt differently.

Nice Find - just got a NC warranty for $25 for 2 years!
It is a good deal. I grabbed the 3 year deal.
Has anyone ever had to have something replaced by Square Trade? How does it compare to B&Ns warranty?
I've never heard of SquareTrade. Is it a reliable company? They seem to have good writeups about them, but I don't know anybody who's heard of them. I was about to buy the BN policy, but if I have to deal with mailing it and dealing with customer support and not bringing it back directly to BN, why not try this.
Seams like a good deal for 2 years $25 with the discount.
Never heard of them. I may consider this after researching a bit. Thanks for posting.

Yes, I have. I had an old Windows phone and when it broke, i sent it in with one of their free shipping labels and then within 8 yrs of them receiving the unit, they sent a msg that they couldn't fix it and would refund me. I had the $500 refund less than 24 hrs later in my paypal acct. They're excellent.

awesome company
Squaretrade is an awesome company. I bought my sister a moto rizer off amazon when it first came out for 180. 3 years later within a week of the end of warranty I sent it in because it was broken. They couldn't repair it, but they did give me the 180 i paid for it. I also spilled water all over my fuze, I didn't have the accidental damage( which I did opt for for the nook because I feel most damage would be accidental to this huge screen), but they not only repaired it, they replaced the keyboard, hinges, and gave me a new battery. Not to mention they left the zaggskin i had just put on fully intact. After I submitted the claim, I had the phone in my hands in about one week. I just used code to get warranty for my new sharp 55 tv and my nook. I highly recommend!! 120 bucks to warranty 1250 worth of electronics for 3 years?? Cant go wrong!!!

Thanks, picked up the 2yr.
Thanks for the tip and the recommendation. Just purchased using the code!
Thanks for the info!
I wasn't able to use the original discount code, but found a coupon code "JINGLE" on retailmenot . Saved me $7 on a two year deal.
Crap....Snow storm = no Nook for me as I was going to buy it today...Somehow the store sold out during our blizzard like conditions..
As for SquareTrade, they are very well known and very trustworthy. They are often mentioned for Ebay sales also..
Anybody know the cheapest place to get a NC?
B&N, Walmart, Best Buy....
Ebay/Craigslist is going to be your best bet on cheaper than list...

Yup. It is the same price everywhere retail.
Buy it online and take advantage of cash back offers.
For example, sign up for fatwallet.com. go to their page about B&N, click through and you will get 4% cash back from B&N through fatwallet.
Also, pay with an American Express Open card and save 5%. So you save about $22. Not sure if that is worth all of your trouble, but there you go.
Thanks. I'm just gonna print out that fatwallet page and price match it at Best Buy. Should almost cover tax.
Get it from Craigslist. I got mine brand new for $180 with a case.
Best I could find was a B&N coupon for 15% off 1 item...... by then I found a brand new still sealed with case for 170 on CL.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
15% off? That's pretty good. Where'd you get it from?
BTW I've been checking CL for the last 2 months. Theres one guy selling it already rooted for $300 (friggin idiot lol).
I don't think that the b&n coupons apply to the NC.
Sent from my Nook Color
Every coupon I've seen for B&N has said:
[...]not eligible for purchases of the following products and services: [...] NOOK(TM) and related accessories[...]
Yep sorry, i didn't read fine print.

There were a couple on my local CL right after Christmas. One in Detroit & another in Lansing. Both were asking $200, for Nooks (supposedly) still in shrink wrap. My guess is they were presents and the sellers wanted cash rather than a BN gift card.
I tried to work a deal with the seller closest to me, but we (her, actually) couldn't coordinate schedules. I was not going to drive an hour for the other one, so I just bought new at the BN store.
Seriously, if you can make a CL or other deal work and save a few bucks, great. For me, it was not worth the time & hassle to save $50.
I'd like to first say I have NO affliliation with the dealer. I simply ran across a great deal on the Nook Color and want to share this with those who wish to buy one. I received this information from a 'deal' website and from what I've seen, it's really good deal.

Use the coupon code below to take $50 off the price.
Coupon code: CBARNESDD
Looks like the dealer is BN. Thanks for the tip!

too bad they won't ship internationally..
So mad about this. I just literally got mine from BB on Thursday night. Paid cash and have already reflashed with Honeycomb eMMC. I accidentally dropped it from about a foot - no real damage except minor cosmetic blemish. Now I can't really return it even if I reflash it back to stock. Not only that, but since BB tracks the serial numbers I can't buy in on this deal and then return it with my receipt because the serial numbers will be different. And of course because this is an online only deal, they won't match it. So frustrating.
I broke down and bought one, Ive been contemplating buying one for awhile. Chances are this will be the best deal i see for awhile. cant go wrong with a $200 Tablet.

Whenever you buy any high tech product, it's pre-ordained that it will be cheaper or more powerful tomorrow.... or both. It seems that tomorrow just came a little sooner than expected. Never look back.
Even if you hadn't caused the blemish, would you really have gone thru the trouble of re-flashing back to stock, driving back to BN, etc. just to save $50? I don't want to downplay the value of $50, but I'd think your time would be worth a little more...

+1....I wish I could order this to Canada, especially at $200.
I am wondering if anyone knows when local Best Buy stores will sell this? I have seen a lot of problems on here so I am waiting for it to be available in store I think...
I am not sure when or if they will, but it cost them a sale. I would have paid a little extra to buy it locally. However, I ended up paying about $450.00 for it online and that included a two year warranty that covered drops, spills, etc! From what I have read so far, most of the issues seem to be with the dock. I did not get that anyway. I was already paying the limit of what I would pay for a tablet, and I think $150.00 is too much for a plastic dock, especially if it has quality issues.
Yeah I want to get it locally too but will probably buy off Amazon when its no longer under review and back for sale from Amazon again.

Yeah. Its not coming from amazon which is why its more money.
I was also waiting for this to be at Best Buy to get in stores, but they might not have it physically available... But you can order it in stores and it'll come in a few days for the price its listed for on their site or order it online and have it delivered to your local best buy. This could be easier in case of returns... I did this a last month with a 3rd party DLSR lens that was listed on their site on sale and was not available in stores and it came in 5days after I placed the order and paid for it in the store.
Also, just checked and Amazon has both the tablet and dock shipping directly from them.
Has best buy ever had the 16 gb version online? I've only ever seen the 32. Hoping to buy it there because I have some credit.
Edit: never mind, there is no 16 gb. Thinking of something else.

I was in my local Best Buy store recently, and asked an employee if they knew if when they were getting the TF701 in stores. The employee told me that more than likely, it would always be an item that is only available online. Of course this employee may very well be wrong, but they did seem to be very familiar with the TF701, whereas many other Best Buy employees seem to have never even heard of it before. Either way, it has definitely been available long enough to be in stores by now! This leads me to believe that the employee I questioned was correct. If it never makes it to store shelves for hands-on experiences, that's bad news for the TF701...
