Galaxy Tab 8.9 at BestBuy for $400

Galaxy Tab 8.9 is at BestBuy for $400 until Saturday. Is there any chance it will.be any lower in the next 2-3 months for any reason? If not I gotta go get one.

I think no chance.

Thanks for that post
I have 2, replaced 2 Motorola Xooms. A friend has the 10.1 and stares at my 8.9 with envy.
Best part, if it goes cheaper, best buy will match the price. (ie. after reading this post I printed the webpage and brought both receipts to Best Buy and got $54 back for each.)
BUY IT

I agree, I picked on up for the wife for Christmas, she has been dying for this one!!!
Like smac says Best Buy will price match if it goes lower.
Thanks

I just bought one last week. Picked it up for $350 at best buy, it was on sale and this was an open box. Someone didn't use it at all, they didn't even take the plastics off of the device. Their loss is my gain.
I couldn't be happier with my tablet, I have mine overclocked at 1.6ghz and I had 7k score on Antutu benchmark before it froze up. 1.51 holds steady fine though with an even benchmark of 7k almost flat. I'd get one even if you have to spend the little bit more. Unless you want the Prime, but you should be able to return your tab and pick it up within the allowed return time.
Good luck!

Is this in store only? I still see it for 449.99 online?

I think the sale is over but they run promotions on different models a lot. Such a beautiful tablet, keep your eyes open!

hey yeah.. ask if they have any open box ones.. they are still under warranty and the 14 day best buy return.. and to get one for 350 is the way to go. I got mine open box for 400 and it was flawless.

Got mine at att for 430$

Got mine at AT&T for $450 with a free SkyRocket. The sales guy told me about the deal since i wanted the SkyRocket but i told him I wasnt interested in getting a $35/mo data plan to get the tablet. He said I didnt have to get a data plan for it as long as I had one on the SkyRocket (which obviously you have to). AT&T LTE is stupid fast here in Kansas City, on the store phone it was pulling 40Mbps down/12Mbps up consistently, saw in the history where it has been as high as 50Mbps.

I don't know how long it goes but Best Buy was having a promotion for Galaxy Tabs today that gave you a $50 gift certificate on purchase.

dude told me i could cancel the tablet data plan in a month. hope he is right....

Where to buy?!?!

Okay...I've been drooling over this phone for the past few weeks. I'm almost ready to pull the trigger...but I'm looking for the least expensive but most reputable online dealer to make my purchase. I'm in the USA so it would have to be imported.
Suggestions? Experiences? Warranty issues? I'm all ears. Let me know what your experience has been with the different online retailers.
Cheers!

Good Point! eBay is probably the one place I haven't looked! Thanks man!

Amazon has a few sellers offering them for around 650. they're also fulfillment so you get free 2 day shipping.

I'm also getting ready to pull the trigger.
If you're just looking for a cheap price, eBay has Australian Notes on sale, which I think is the cheapest of them all due to currency fluctuations.
Anybody know of a seller that does international shipping that has a REALLY lenient return policy? I tend to have horrible luck with displays and don't want to get stuck with one with defects (I once had to return five LCD monitors in a row because each one had more than two dead/stuck pixels! Also, my current Cellphone, a Streak, has an always-on stuck red pixel).
Given the fact that AMOLED screens slowly develop defects, I would really like to find a seller that offers 14+ day return policy with little or no expense on my part, in case I end up making multiple returns.

I found this in another thread but Integrontech has them for $650 also. Here's the link: http://www.integrontech.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-N7000-16GB-Unlocked-Black-p/sam-n7000.htm
I've never used them...so I'm not sure how reputable they are.
I did buy my i9100 from expansys USA and it was perfect! Fast shipping. Never had any trouble with the hardware...so I never dealt with the warranty part. But my experience with them was very good.

Might pay to be a little more patient, I'm thinkin' there will be at least another 50 drop post Christmas.
Just a thought and I could be wrong so...
Be nice to use that extra savings towards accessories though IMHO
When I first started lookin' I couldn't find one below 730.00 so if I can get one for six I can that custom leather case I want and break even there.

Hello! Link please

I've got friends who would buy this for me in either India or Australia.
Where would I have either one of them shop in their respective countries to get me one? Is it worth it, plus shipping, or should I just drop $650 on Ebay? I mean, from what I saw the exchange rate, 35,000 Indian Rupees (MSRP) is $660.

I see amazon is listed as an official vendor which makes me curious.
+ there is no warranty on international phones imported to U.S. because the official U.S. versions are the ones sold by the damn carriers via at&t , verizon etc.

There once was a note...

Yeah, I saw that, but the arrival date was in 2012.
Newegg had free 2-day shipping (shoprunner free year trial) and I had a $20 coupon from google.
So, $679 and I'll have it Monday. Plus there is a free charger thingy thrown in, so that's a plus.
I just really hope my unlimited data isn't f-d around with after putting my sim in...

Doesn't the GT prefix indicate the IMEI will be considered a tablet? Some listings omit the GT prefix...I think these are the Polish/Netherland version that doesn't flag ATT as a tablet...

Hmmm...it appears the white one is going for $800 still, while the black(ish) one is $650ish. I'm debating on importing 5 or 6 of these to see if I can pay for mine.
Thoughts?

Cheapest place to buy Exhibit

Where's the cheapest place to buy the Samsung Galaxy Exhibit? The cheapest Exhibits that I could find are at Walmart ($175) or the T-Mobile website ($200 w/ free $50 refill card).

HSN has it for $130 with goodies. Check out slickdeals thread.
http://m.slickdeals.net/f/5635106-S...e-129-95-Free-Shipping-New-HSN-Customers-Only

I bought mine used from craigslist. Came with everything including a silicone case for $80 :good:
But if you're planning to buy new, I wouldn't. You could spend the same amount of money (roughly $150) on a better phone if you're buying one lightly used. Don't feel bad about buying used - most people take really good care of their phones, so as long as you check it out before paying, you could snag a really good deal. I've seen Nexus S's go as cheap as $120 locally, plus a number of other comparable devices in the same price range. Not trying to bash the Exhibit (even though it sucks royally on Gingerbread) but I'm just pointing out that there are better options for the price.

I got mine for free from T Mobile [Joined just a year ago, that's the phone I chose to get when I joined]
But, if you aren't a first joiner, then you will have to pay like 100 dollars or more, roughly about 170, if you have an upcoming upgrade for T Moble, or of any other carrier, It would probably be more.

This got my interest coz for that price on a Nexus phone might just get me to upgrade my beloved Slim-beaned Samsung Exhibit 4G, until I looked at the specs on the Nexus S which is a HSDPA 7.2Mb/s device. Nope. Not for me. I used to have a 7.2Mb/s tmobile comet which when I was lucky could hit a little over 3Mb/s on speedtest. The Exhibit usually gets above 5Mb/s and I've hit 8Mb/s a couple of times on speedtest.
I tether my Nexus 7 tablet to my phone everyday, so the phone's internet speed is a major factor for me... Nexus 4 is my "wish-list" phone

Best deal I have seen in the US for the Gear. I got mine for $99 in Canada, but I also have to pay GSTs and shipping to the US.

@nviz22, keep in mind the one you got is brand new, while this one is refurbished. Though since its BB Geek Squad, these refurb'd units are most likely just customer returns.

All should know too that many times "refurbished" only means it was returned to the store without anything wrong with it. They cannot then sell it as "new", so they have to call the item refurbished. In the case of the Gear, where we heard it had a high return rate late last year, I would take advantage of an offer like this if you see it come up again.

Yeah, that's fine, but I am just saying that's been the best deal for the Gear in the US so far from what I have seen. It's a good value purchase at $130 anyways. For $300, the original price, not worth it. I chose the Gear 1 for the functionality and price. The Gear 2 only has a heart rate sensor and IR Blaster, which cannot vouch for a $200 price difference.

Pricing update FYI
Just thought I would post for those that are interested.
Amazon has the original Gear for 120.33 they are listed as used but they are being shown as Amazon Warehouse inventory which very often are customer returns. Free two day shipping if you are a prime member as well. Also eligible for standard return and refund policies from Amazon. Also this is for Jet Black.

Galaxy Tab S 10.5 - $399

I found this Best Buy page.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung...hite/7798007.p?id=1219291425819&skuId=7798007
Went to Walmart and they price matched it for me! Walked out with a new Galaxy Tab S 10.5 for $399 and didn't have to wait for black Friday.
The price is down to 379 now. Happy price matching!

hey give me credit please.............you got it from ME on slickdeals

I figured I wasn't the first one to find it. The Internet is a pretty big place

just kidding, glad you got the deal as well.

You got lucky there was an idiot working at Wal-Mart when you asked for the price match. bb price is still 499 for new. The link you posted was for a GSCR which is for a Greek squad certified refurbished unit!

....... Paid 499 for lol! Someone got real lucky!

I got mine at Best Buy for $379.99. I went in and asked for a 16 gig white Tab S 10.5. When he told me the price, I showed him the print out and even the link. He didnt even bat an eye lash. It wasnt until after I posted that it was realized that four letter word stands for refurb. So its a ymmv deal but it also

Your so lucky! I would of wanted one for that price!

Do a search on Ebay.
BestBuy/Geek Squad is selling Refurbished 32 gig Titanium color model for $379 Shipped to you no charge. Bought mine last night.

This deal is rather tempting, but I am also waiting to learn how much the Dell Venue 8 will be and how the Moorefield processor performs in comparison to the Exynos.

Should we have any concern about this being a refurb? I may bite as well at bb.

I do NOT think this is a high enough value product that these are physically repaired units. I tend to think these are just customer returns that have been factory reset, cleaned off, and repackaged. If anyone with real expertise can comment further I'd be curious. Whether customers returned them because they were broken or they just didn't like, hard to know. I think warranty is only 90 days and i don't know if a credit card doubles the warranty on a refurbished product or not. I've bought a moderate number of refurbished electronics before and never had a problem though, and most problems will surface in first 90 days. That said price new is only $20 more next week so savings not big enough to just ify It.

the point is that its one day to get that price and the madness behind it. Also I disagree in that anytime I have bought a refurb from a large company, its usually pristine. GO to cowboom and that is a prime example of taking returns and simply reprocessing them.

It's four days. Many stores have that price and you can order online. No hassle at all. Samsung.com has it for 399$ beginning Sunday and you can pre-order today.

Also if you want to go refurbished, Newegg is cheaper than bb, no sales tax, and includes a one year warranty.
