Is Best Buy (US) getting this?

Title says it all. I'm following this thread, no one from BBY US is answering, which is strange. Even more strange that BBY Canada was taking pre-orders, but no one at BBY US is saying a word about it.... I've got $100 worth of rewards certs to use, would like to take home a $100 Nexus 7 someday!
Any insight on this from all the Nexus nuts here? :laugh:

Probably because US BBY can't charge $100 extra for N7s. Seriously, I haven't shopped BBY for years. There is simply no point shopping there. Obviously most ppl agree and BBY sees great profit loss and laid off huge amount of employees recently.

I find their service in local stores to be great and prefer getting tablets and phones from them due to 30 day return and no hastles.

That's why it's called Best Browse.
At least we can look at the product and then open up Amazon within BB to order it.

I got a 4:3 ratio dvd given to me for Christmas that was bought from BB online. I went to the store because they had both versions to trade it for a widescreen copy. They told me I have to give the gift back and have them return it online and get the copy I wanted.
I went next door to CompUSA(been a few years lol) and they swapped it out even after telling them the story. That was the last time I went to BB to buy anything.

Best Buy isn't that bad guys, nor is it really the point of this thread.... I'm a former CompUSA employee and think BBY has the upper hand, if you don't agree, you like rooting for the underdog more often than not! Anyways, I have a Silver Rewards account and $100 worth of certs to use on a device that BBY will price match "anyone, anywhere," so what's not to like about that? The best CompUSA would do is knock $50 off the SGSIII for me, I had $50 worth of certs at BBY and $50 off for their Phone Freedom promotion made a $200 phone cost $50 after doing the same price matching as CompUSA could, so which company would you have bought from? What's the return policy at CompUSA compared to BBY's Silver Rewards? Only 30 days vs 60 means at 59 days, I get a brand new device just for kicks.....

I am also a former CompUSA employee. It was a much better company than BB was.
On topic:
I have no idea. lol

I talked to few people at best buy tonight and they said that it will a while before they get it. The reason is because they haven't got a agreement yet with Google to sell it but they will be selling it soon hopefully.

purchased galaxy nexus

just wanted to make a rant/rave thing.
just purchased the galaxy nexus off the google play store (lol play store) for about $392USD.
:crying::crying: tax sucked! $32 dollars for NYC
first time i spent this much for a phone, it was almost unjustifiable.... if i wasnt selling my old beloved nexus one for 150-ish. so i guess technically i am spending only about $240 out of my pocket, which isnt so bad if you look at it that way.
..... right? what do you guys think?

Stop f***ing moaning. That's what I think.
You can obviously afford the money or you wouldn't have bought it. We can't order the Nexus phone from Google here in the UK, so we end up paying way more to get it from another source if we want it.
If you weren't happy with the cost then you should have stuck with your old phone

let bygones be bygones :good:

Look on the bright side: your tax dollars go to the state which "might" come back to you someday.

The price you paid for what you got is dirt cheap. I can't believe how little Google is charging for them, off contract. I bought one for my wife when they were still $399 and I have no regrets, that was a steal too.

I paid almost $700 for mine from handtec when they first came out and I bought 2. I could have purchased 5 total with the prices now. With the next nexus I might not be so quick to get, I think I'll be able to wait a few months for prices to come down....hopefully.
Google should really sell the next nexus for $400 straight from play store. They would kill the market for sure.

I live in Canada and here, Play Store doesn't sell Gnex so the full price is like 600bucks? I got one for 450 in Kijiji and since I sold my Nexus S for 250, so I spent only 200 bucks for Gnex So happy

I paid in Canada 649 for it, when it just came out, and still loving it.
BTW, just rooted and loaded JB on it.... like a brand new phone.

Newegg used to match price (minus delivery/tax?) but I guess they're not anymore.
$392 is pretty cheap as far as phones go, I suppose.

What do I think? It's the best bang for your buck. And honestly, if you're using it while on contract, you're wasting your money. Contracts are a thing of the past. Take it to T-Mobile's $30 5GB, unlimited text, 100 minute plan or to Straight Talk's $50 unlimited everything (runs on AT&T or T-Mobile, whichever you choose). Don't forget you have a pentaband phone, which is rare even nowadays.
I paid $575 out of pocket (after trade-in credits from Amazon) for my Galaxy S III i9300, so don't complain.

Costco Is Selling The Atrix HD For $49 + Free Car Dock + Free Accessories!

It looks like Costco has the best deal right now with the Atrix HD for only $49.99 bought in the store or online with free shipping. They also have a rebate for a FREE car dock and they also include FREE accessories that include 6 items...
1. 3-1 Charger
2. Reusable Carrying Case
3. 2 Leather Cases (one looks like a horizontal case, the other vertical case)
4. 2 Screen Protectors
...and if this doesn't beat the competition...how about Costco's generous return policy - not 30 days 90 days (for cellular phones). Everything else can be returned years later, no questions asked! Trust me...I know!
I LOOOOOVE Costco. They seem to bully the manufactures to get what their customers want...savings and value!!!
PS I dunno when I'd ever use the cowboy smiley face so what the hey...why not here? Yeeee Haaaa!

Thanks man I bought it from costco because of you! but you forgot to mention you also get a free portable extra battery! just have to fill out some rebate thing

Thanks bro defintieyl appreciate this!!

Interesting.. But I'm curious if you need to be a Costco member and secondly, if you've ever bought a phone on upgrade from them. My concern is getting my current ATT plan grandfathered over, so am curious if you've worked with Costco before and if you had success with the procedure.
ATT says when you buy from a third party, you have to request the grandfathering when you activate, and there's no guarantee it will get done correctly. I can get it directly from ATT for the same price with the car dock, no activation fee and a credit for the CA sales tax. They also said the grandfathering happens at the time of purchase when you go direct..
P.S. A local chain here in the Bay area has it for $39.99. I'm beginning to wonder if this is a really cheaply made device since its getting so deeply discounted. Any thoughts?

I ordered it from the website, never asked for my Costco membership info. I called before I ordered and they said they would grandfather it, he just told me to call them the day I place the order to explain to them since you have to choose either the 3 or 5 gb plan

Looks like the deal was only for a couple of days..It's $79.99 now making it one of the more high priced third party deals!

I'm concerned about the quality of the pics but I took a pic (not the one above - which is from my BlackBerry Torch 9810 and it didn't look good at all) but the pic I took with the Atrix HD looked better and I zoomed in on the tiny print of the ad at the bottom and could read it and was very clear, very clear.
I know I'm late to the party but I was wanting to know any reason at this time I should pass on the Atrix HD and wait? I'm on AT&T btw.

I bought mine off of Amazon for 1 cent with a new/upgrade 2 year contract. Best Buy has it free. Too good to pass up, especially after bricking my Atrix 2 a couple of weeks ago.

cant wait till these babies hit ebay :laugh::laugh::laugh:

When I was in Costco last week, it was $40 for all of this. The cellular counter was unmanned at the time, so I was unable to ask how long it was good for. If it's still the same rebate deal in the OP, it expires 10/31 and I'm not eligible for an upgrade until 11/26.

Good news is: black Friday is coming up and the ATRIX is a sick phone to have. With that said, I'm sure you'll have no problems finding a good sale to pick yours up

I upgraded my Atrix 4G to a white Atrix HD on 11/1 at Costco and paid $30 plus tax and the accessory rebate offer has been extended to the end of the year.

Hey, any screen issues with the 32gb? People have noted that there is a spongy affect on the left side when you press on it as well as a ripple affect. They have also noted the light bleed at the top. Any of those?
I was going to pick one up today, but Sandy is almost upon us and I may be without power for a few days, so I wouldn't get to play with it for too long...

this... staples were all closed in my area today it seems. office depots were open for a bit but said they were sold out this morning. hopefully sandy doesn't do too much damage as it passes through. stay safe!

So far it doesn't look like any stores in Phoenix, AZ are carrying the 32gb yet, but I still have a few places to call. I'll post an update if I get lucky. Otherwise it looks like 3-day shipping from NewEgg is my best bet. Wal-Mart is saying no availability until 11/5 for in-store pickup.
Update 10/29 - found one at the Staples Camelback location in Phoenix. They're not even stocking them on the floor, they're keeping them in the back with a "we have none in stock" sign on the Nexus display.
C90, no lift. Can't wait to root tonight.

I dont notice any issues with QC on mine. Woo hoo.
Staples charging $56 for one year accident protection? Ummm not paying 25% of cost, sorry. Square trade looks like $35 with the Tuesday coupon. 2 years too.

[Q] Buy Phone Outrgiht at T-mobile Headaches ?

Since right now online sales are filled with scalpers overpricing for the first time ever i might just buy the phone in the store outright. I usually purchase them online. Anyway, I have a t mobile account can i just pay and get the phone. Will they try to bundle/change or add stuff onto my plan ?
Anyone have a past experience with other phone purchases ?

I've never had a problem. If there is a better plan they'll let you know. I only preordered this time due to the Samsung promotion.
And by the way... this phone is amazing.

If you go into the store with the seven hundred and change in hand then no. However they still will try and push stuff on you but it's no different then what I did with pre ordering the phone and when it showed up on saturday I just went online and paid it off. It would be different if you didn't have a plan with then I could see them giving you grief over it or some BS about not having any units they can sell at the moment.

I just bought GS5 for my wife in the store, they mentioned if I want insurance, I said no and it was the end of it, but she may have switch me to paperless statement without asking or saying so, my bill is due in 2 weeks so I should see soon enough.

Online I am pretty sure you can't buy phones without a plan. You will have to deal with a human in person or maybe over the phone but more then likely you have to go to a store.

Now, while it still is in pre-order phase, you need to purchase a plan with it, even at full price. Same goes with the stores. You can only purchase 1 phone per existing line or sign-up/add a line for every Note 4 pre-ordered.
This might change after the official release on the 17th , given a few weeks.

I have a plan already. figured it out , to order you have to go to upgrade a line. It lets you pay full price at once. My main concern now is that if anything is wrong with the phone I have to mail it back to them instead of return it in the store and you will be left hanging for a while. Will decided over the next few days what i want to do. Anyone have any experience ordering from them online ?

Yes, that's the way it is. Others fix this by ordering another unit, get charged for the purchase then get credit when the other phone is returned
By the 17th it would be available in stores. I think they will sell you one without adding a line if you show them your return label for the defective phone. Depends whom you deal with. Ymmv.
Stay positive, your phone will be fine.
