[Q] Verizon in-store retail price confirmation?

Is the D3 (in store, at full retail price) confirmed to be $450?

i want to know that too

I picked mine up in-store today at full retail. The price was the same as it is online - $459.99.

Awesome!! Thanks
-CM7 ADR6300

Little off from the original question but I was able to get mine for $99.99.
I was eligible for a new phone, minus an extra $30 credit, and a local Verizon store was doing an extra $50 off any 3g Android device. I believe the rep I dealt with gave me a little extra off somehow too to get to the $100 mark. I was going to trade in my Droid 1 for an extra $20 off that but my cousin busted his screen so I decided to be a nice guy and give it to him.
For a $100 I'm very happy over the Droid 1.

can the D3 be bought without any contract?

Yes. That's what this thread is discussing. $459.99 full retail (which means you don't sign a contract and buy the phone outright) at Verizon.

$459.99 here as well. Bought one on launch day off contract.

Ended up running me $497

I'm pretty sure dipwhitty meant that's the price including sales tax.

Ah, gotcha. Thanks!

So can this one be unlocked?
Thanks

Before I got mine online for full price I called a store and they said 600 bucks. So that proves that verizon employees don't know jack. Ishould of called a different store but I just ordered it instead. I knew it was 459 at the store.

[Q] Best deal on a Vivid

I have been searching online and it appears the regular upgrade price is $199-00 from ATT and others with Costco being $10 cheaper and they include some accessories plus a favorable return policy.
Anyone know of any better deals out there?
I missed out on Fry's $60 ($90 with tax) deal.

The best deal I could find was $600 at AT&T.

I thought the upgrade price through att was $99.00. That is what I paid for it.

I got mine for $199.00 but two weeks later the black Friday price was $99.00. I got the $100.00 refund of course but I haven't seen it for $99.00 since then.

Good spot, well done. I find it unusual though that they charge you tax on the full retail amount bringing the total somewhere near $120. They also have a lousy 13 day return policy. Makes you wonder if the saving is really worth it.

Not worth it for me considering I would have to drive from Memphis to Duluth or Milton Georgia to partake of the offer.

Best Buy HUP for $99+tax with a $25 gift card. I used the gift card on a case and invisableSHEILD screen protector.
I think it is a good deal.

This is in Canada so i don't know if its the same in the US. Just go into a Best Buy store and see if they got the promo. Plus they should be able to price match with others including carries plus 10% off.

It shows black, but its for the white. I just went to the Fry's in Duluth, GA and picked up 2. One for me and one for the wife. Way better than paying 200! Well worth the 16 hour round trip drive. All I have seen is the black model and never saw the white until yesterday, and I gotta say is, it is a sexy beast! Black looks good, but white looks better. Anyone in the Atlanta area goes to partake of the offer, they only have one more white left. The blacks are being sold at 130.

If you happen to work for AT&T they are offering a $199 discount for this phone if you are upgrading.

I picked mine up for $17 Canadian.
Hardware upgrade price was supposed to be either $99 or $149, I don't remember, but it rang up at $59.99 (at a Rogers store), and while I was signing the paperwork the woman told me 'Don't forget to log into your Rogers account to redeem the $50 mail-in rebate.' I thought it was too good to be true, but sure enough, when I got home, I logged in, and a few minutes later received an email stating that a $50 credit had been applied to my account.
So $10 for the phone, plus $7 (the taxes on $60).
Two days later, a friend picked one up and was charged $150. When she mentioned my deal, the guy at the store said 'Oh, that's not right. But there's nothing we can do about it now.'

Got mine for 99 and my upgrade was not but until march. I called cs and asked if icould get an early upgrade they talked to a supervisor and they offered it and the sgs 2 for 99. Never been happier.

I tried getting the local ATT store to price match and was again turned down. They told me to call retentions at ATT.
Got on the phone with them and they saw me right!!
Phone is on the way to me. I reckon I should see somewhat of a difference between it and my TP2!

No differences. T-Mobile just loves to rip people off...
If you need some assurance, look at the tech specs page for the device. T-Mobile uses the 1700mhz and 2100mhz frequencies for 4g

Or maybe one doesn't have enough cash upfront for the whole $350 so they spend $250 ($199 after mail-in rebate) on the phone? Exactly. I have the money and I am on a single plan myself. However, I refuse to eat the upfront cost when I plan on staying with T-Mo anyway and I don't see value in the value plan at all. I planned on getting it from the Play store But unfortunately I have a 7 month old who needs Christmas things and a 9yr old who made straight A's. That extra money can make or break it for a kid. I can get her a Nexus 7 with that extra hundred and change I am saving upfront. See what I mean? Not singling you out but I notice people seem to write off everyone as being "financially endowed" on here kinda. lol. I work for Google (part time and non-Android related) here in Atlanta and even I get NO perks. lol
So People like me don't mind the $250 cost from T-Mo. I am sure that's the case with a LOT of Americans on T-Mo. You have to prioritize yet still get what you want and work hard for. Play Store is a luxury if you can do it and I planned on it. But some folks can't do it.
Next Topic
To be clear on the release date...If you call in T-Mo you can order it on the 14th...Stores is the 15th...Only reason I know this is because I asked Loyalty Department because they offered me a discount due to my bad experience with Customer Care and my 7 exchange warranties on the HTC Sensation with little to no help to get me out of the phone. So they told me to call in at 6am EST on the 14th and order and they'll even throw in free next day shipping and waive the early upgrade fee for my troubles.

It makes no sense to pay 1.5 times for the same phone. Upfront or per month payment. Money is money.
Simple math: Assuming you are on classic plan
500 mins 2 gb data costs 59$
For value plan where you dont get subsidised phone its 44$ for the exact same plan.
15$ per month extra is 15*24months = 360$
So you end up paying 200 +360 = 560 for a 350$ phone. Infact if you are on value plan Nexus 7 will be free as you have 210$ to buy it.
We often neglect 15$ per month extra as we tend to see 350$ as a huge amount.

Tmonews, android police, and Google are my sources. All these sites say that the T-Mobile one won't be tampered with, being the same as the play store one. Again, look at the tech specs of the device on the play store. It clearly is pentaband, and it lists the frequencies. T-Mobile uses the aws band for their 4g, which is 1700/2100
I may have misunderstood your question, so if I did, I apologize

[Q] is anyone purchasing or pre ordered from best?

Sorry i meant best buy. I normally buy my phones from best buy off contract because they give us the highest value for our phones. Currently the GS3 is worth 360$ plus 50 gift card sign up promotion they normally do in January plus an additional 50$ gift card for their trade in if you have their protection for a total of 460$ last i have them price match sprint which is 550$ meaning i only have to pay 90$ plus tax. anyone go this route? or simply upgrading?

My local best buy said 230 for s3 in new condition and 699.99 for the HTC and they will not price match for contract phones even tho I'm paying retail. How did you pull that deal?

Wait... what? If you're paying unsubsidized price for a phone, that's not considered a contract phone. You should show them their own policy.
(http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Payment...ee/pcmcat297300050000.c?id=pcmcat297300050000)
I don't think ANY phones via trade-in will surpass the amount that you can get for them selling them individually. Best Buy provides that as a service to customers -- not so people can make money off trading phones in. I would strongly suggest just selling the S3 and buying the phone from Best Buy with the money that you obtain from the sale.

I called a few and they all say they will not price match phones at all. My problem is none of my sprint stores or the main sprint tele sales store will even sell me one unless I add a new line. I've gone to 3 stores in person and they all said it will be a month or so before they will sell the phone at retail price.

You might try asking after the 19th as well, as I know I was told they can't price match during pre-order. But once it's released for sure, they might be able to.
Are you opposed to buying the phone online?

Thats not true. best buy is hurting because now they even price match amazon.com which they NEVER used to do. I dont know who you guys spoke to but its not true. i have receipts to show the last 2 years. i have had the EVO 4G, EVO 3D, Epic 4G touch black and white. EVO LTE, GS3 IN WHITE, THEN OPTIMUS G, GALAXY NOTE 2 THEN BACK TO THE GS3 IN PEBBLE BLUE. So trust me when i say its true. Call a store in atlanta and they will tell you the same. Im actually considering just using my upgrade and getting the additional 200$ on a gift card.

I'm not 100% sure but I remeber reading on the best buy price match policy that since they are now price matching online retailers one of the exclusions was mobile phones. Not sure if this was only for contract phones or all in general.

now that i didnt know i used to have the white till i traded it for the optimus G. i think its because the blue is less common than the white. im the only one i know that has the blue. i know at least 15 people with gs3s maybe more and all of them have the white.

Yeah, I checked all the carriers s3's and they are all around 220-260. Only the Blue sprint model is that high

Anyone else disappointed with Sprints pricing?

$250 (upgrade price), $36 activation fee...then add tax. I think it's annoying that Sprint is making us loyal customers pay the difference for new customers (as they save $100 upon signing up.)

Check out wirefly and amazon mobile. Sometimes they are around $50 less than Sprint.

I'm way more disappointed in Sprint's cell service. The S4 is a great phone and well worth $250, I payed full price off contract for mine $599, -$263 that I got for my S3 on trade in at Best Buy. But being locked into a two year contract with Sprints pathetic network is another thing.

Hopefully the completion of their LTE rollout wins you over...

ive been a sprint customer for 12 years and the last phone i got they refused to waive my activation fee. i used to just make a simple call and request they waive it, i wasnt rude, or threatening and they flat out refused. they gave me the "we're trying to expand our network and push lte to more markets" excuse. and i bought it. i figure if my 36 bucks gets lte here faster then its worth it. that wont stop me from calling every time i get hit with an activation fee.

Don't you need a membership for that? I would so do that if it was possible.

I upgraded with Sprint at Costco (yes you have to have a membership).
Phone was $195, no activation fee, and it included an accessory bundle. Not the best bundle, but hey, a free TPU case, Car charger and some other items aren't bad.

I only got charged $150 for the device when activating a new line (of course plus the activation fee, all carriers charge this). However, I also got charged a $100 deposit on the line, I'm assuming because of my credit or lack thereof. So I wound up paying $250 when I got my GS4. Is this what everyone else is talking about or did they itemize the phone as costing $250? As a note, I ordered online, not in a store if that makes a difference for anyone.

Yea, it's ridulous that Sprint would charge the most among the carriers. But I bought the S4 off-contract and they offered the best price when the preorders were going on ($599.99).

Sprint has always been cheapest carrier in terms of nearly everything (plans, phones, etc.) But this was a surprise. I'll probably wait until a 3rd party retailer has a big sale and jump on it then.
Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Can I upgrade through Costco/Sam's club online without membership?

I couldn't resist. I got it the first day I had an upgrade. With everything (taxes and upgrade) on top of the 250 bucks for the device my out of pocket was aroubd 280. It was quite disappointing and the insult was that I didnt enjoy the device at first after being a die hard HTC follower.

Amazon also has it for $599 off contract, so I went to Best Buy and had them price match and got the phone there.

I thought of Amazon as well but when I submitted my preorder, Amazon didn't have the Sprint S4 for sale.
