I'm planning to get one for my gf for christmas but i'll only have a weekend in the US to purchase one and have to make sure I get one.
Are they in stock at AT&T stores nationwide? I'm going to be in south florida (miami/ft. lauderdale area) and just want to make sure. I tried ordering on AT&T's website but you can't purchase it without a contract, I hope it's not like that in store too.
Any suggestions?
Simply put, are they in stock everywhere or will I have a hard time finding one?

Hard to say, I bought mine the first the day it came out. The AT&T store where I got it only had one (the one I bought) but maybe in miami they´ll have more because it's a larger city!!!
I didn't have to get a contract, but some people have reported they were forced to get a contract at AT&T retail stores

I had same experience, it looks like most AT&T stores had 1-2 quantities, best to call if interested maybe you can get a $100 reduction due to employee false advertising (a mistake made during my transaction but honored)
Thanks for the replies... This will be the weekend the make it happen so *fingers crossed*
At least there isn't a mad rush for them it doesn't seem.
As others have suggested call ahead. I went in yesterday not thinking they'd have them. They haven't gotten their display units in and only had two in stock. The salesman said since November they only sold one. Most people don't know about the camera yet and Samsung hasn't done its national campaign yet.
I'm in NY, had to hit 3 different stores - 1 didn't even carry it, 1 tries to sell me a contract to get it, in the third store I asked for a manager because I wanted to buy it full retail without a plan, finally walked away with it in my bag. Oh yea, i love this thing!
Generally you can go to the AT&T website, find the Galaxy Camera, click on "Check In-Store Availability", and then give the Zip Code for where you are interested. Any that say "OUT OF STOCK" are indeed, out or never had. For "IN STOCK" it is best to call first unless you don't mind driving. Stock is based on the previous day's updates, and you never know who might have been there first.
Well, just to update everyone, it was a no go.
None of the stores in the Miami/Ft.Lauderdale area had them in stock.
Thankfully they have started popping up on amazon so i went ahead and got it there. Also kinda happy that I got the unlocked one also since i wouldn't be using it on AT&T anyways.
So the camera is with a friend of mine and i'll be getting it next Friday.
Does it matter where you preorder the HTC one from in order to take advantage of the HTC trade in offer? I ordered from Newegg but want to trade in an old evo 4g.

Nope, you just have to have a valid proof of purchase.
Awesome. Thanks couldn't resist 100 bucks for an original evo.

I'm sending back my old Samsung moment can't even get rid of that thing for free.
Would they know I haven't even uses that in almost every years? It's on their list of choices.

Ok, I feel like a complete idiot. How exactly do I go about getting the $100 for a trade-in? I have my old EVO 4G that I’d like to send back, but if I go to the following link, it says that I’m only eligible for $16:
http://www.htctradeup.com
I'm guessing that isn't the same as this offer for the One:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...h-april-26th-following-rumored-launch-delays/
Is the paperwork included with the HTC One and you send in your old phone after you purchase the One, or is there another link to go to in order to find out how to get the rebate? How do we know exactly how much we’ll be getting back from HTC since everything is saying “up to $100”?
As a side question, my brother is thinking about getting this phone and his contract is up for renewal, so can he trade a device in for this rebate as well?

No unfortunately I think this was an offer you had to sign up for about a month ago. I signed up very early and I got an email on March 18th titled "Thanks for registering for the new HTC One®" inside it tells you to goto www.htctradeup.com/htcone and use the code included in the email to recieve either the devices value according to their checker or $100 - whichever is greater.
Good luck!
Update - Ya their site says "Pre-register online (must have been completed prior to April 5th)."
So you get at least $100 plus whatever your phones worth right? And yes I preregistered.

Their main site (http://www.htctradeup.com/) will tell you how much your phone is worth if you trade it in. But if you pre-registered and (from what I've heard from others) confirmed the device you will be trading in and save your information within 30 days of pre-registering, then you will get $100 for your trade-in if it's worth less than $100 on their site.
So, for example, if you wanted to trade in a Samsung Galaxy SIII (which only a crazy person would do), you would receive a $150 visa prepaid card. But if you wanted to trade in a Sprint Epic 4G, that phone is only worth $20 on their site, but I would get $100 for it since I pre-registered and filled out/saved the required info.
Has anyone been able to get past the "save for later" button on this? Or are we waiting for the release date for you to begin the next step in the process.
Contacted HTC button won't work until 19th

My touch pro 2 will definitely not be active when I purchase my One tomorrow but I'm going to send it in any way. All it is doing is collecting dust in a drawer.
Same here I'm sending two EVO design's
That were collecting dust.
So I received my email on March 15th, but I haven't registered on the site yet because I thought i needed to wait until I had the One. Am I SOL because it has been more then 30 days?

Maybe. At first when I went on the site and entered my code from the email they sent me a few days ago it said like $30 or something for my EVO 3D. Now it says $100 when I enter that, but it says click here when you get your ONE and when I do that and reenter the number it says it is invalid.
Did we have to re-register again? Because I did this when they first announced it..

Its weird, I register for 2 lines back when they started the promotion sign up and I got 2 codes in separate emails. One looks generic code with the number 100 between the letters and the second code has different digits. If I go to the trade page the generic looking code works but it says I have to complete the trade by 3/28/13. The other code comeback as invalid.
I went to the trade in page an put in the informaiton for my evo. I then put in the code in my email and it seemed to work and gave me the "Save for Later" option. I got an email from HTC a short while ago after clicking save for later and putting my email address in. And now it says I have to pre-order and has a pre-order now link at the bottom of the page. I just planned on going into Best Buy tomorrow morning and grabbing one as I got the $50 gift card deal from them back in January. But I want my $100 from HTC.

When you put on your code what complete by date the website gives you?
Just to let everyone interested know. I just received an email for the trade up offer (for those of us that pre-registered) that took me to a page and now it says I get the $100. Just have to claim by April 30 and mail by May 30. It is all good now.
Hey guys,
I just figured out how to get the HTC One for $29 after rebates (visa gift cards), and ordered the phone. This offer is only good this weekend so I thought I would share
First go to http://www.wirelessmarketplus.com and order the phone for $149. That comes with an offer to get a $20 Visa Gift Card After you activate.
After that, go to http://www.htctradeup.com/htcone/100promo/?q=start and use promo code HTC100. this site asks you to trade in your old "smart" phone for $100+ in Visa Gift cards. I am trading in either my HTC Touch Pro 2 or a Motorola Droid 1 that I had laying around (both of them qualified for the $100 back)
So there you have it. after all is said and done, it's $29. hope someone else gets use out of this.

Thanks though.
Wirefly and Wirelessmarketplus are owned by the same company, so it makes since they would both have the same deals.
wirefly still has it for 120 with 20 dollar gift card you just need the right link
I did the newegg 129.99 with $20 gift card deal. Is the gift card shipped with the phone?

quick question, i have an old BlackBerry curve that qualifies but in order to get the $100 do you have to have a phone that was recently active? This blackberry hasen't been active in almost 2 years (ive been using a GS2 but want to keep it as a backup device). Anyone know if this will work?
Thanks

I don't think it has to be active. the HTC questionnaire said nothing about that, only the condition (no water damage, does it turn on, screen ok). The Touch Pro 2 I am turning in hasn't been active in several years.
ok great, yea its in perfect condition so i might as well go ahead. Im grabbing my H1 tmrw so I might as well give it a shot. The stupid blackberry has just been collecting dust anyway haha

Read the terms and conditions carefully. Somewhere in the fine print was a clause that said it had to be the phone active on the account prior to the upgrade. Might be worth activating the old phone for a week or so, just to be sure.
I pulled my wife's old LG Optimus V out of the drawer, took it to the Sprint store and activated it in place of my Shift. Then sold my Shift on Swappa, bought the One, and sent the Optimus to HTC for the $100. Came out ahead $75 and have a shiny new One.

Just a heads up for those who were looking into the trade up offer you have to register on the HTC website and they will send you a specific promo code not sure if just HTC100 works or not... and as for terms and conditions i thought it said you had to send in a previous HTC smartphone (I'm sending in my Evo 3D) I think it was like a customer loyalty promo thing...
but i could be totally wrong if so please correct me I'd hate to be tellin' people the wrong stuff...
ps. you guys S**K, , but really super dissapointed... I pre-ordered mine with sprint silly:dumb idea i know but they gave me an early upgrade) So i missed all the good deals you guys are gettin' now... damn I wish i had waited, the only thing that could make this phone any better would have been getting one free, I mean a phone this amazing for $100 is great but free, man thats sweet!!! good for you guys though:good:

Haha, should've had Sprint push the upgrade, then went online for the good deals.
The HTC100 promo is only good this weekend and only using that link. The pre register is something else (though I did that too). Also I don't see how the phone would have to be active if the site lets me select the Verizon Motorola droid 1 as a valid option.

It doesn't say had to be active
I just bought another one for my wife's line from Wirefly but they are sold out. Still $149.99 - $100 - $20 = 29.99 is pretty great! Silver only though.
Awesome deal, but not yet complete
HTC One (Black) purchased through Wirefly F&F for $119 today. I followed the aforementioned steps and got the $100 trade-in showing. If I select the "Continue" button (given the following verbiage: "You can click Continue if you've purchased your new HTC One phone and are ready to complete your Trade Up now."), the next screen requires the ESN from my new phone. Obviously I would need the phone in hand to enter that information, so it seems the best I can do is wait for the shipment to arrive from Wirefly.
But that is the rub. I can't complete the on-line trade in process by 5/5 because it's unlikely I will physically have the phone by then. Per the trade-up site, "Complete the online trade in process, by 5/5/13 (no later than 11:59PM EST)". This has me worried I will be denied.
What should I do?
Thanks!

The rep I talked to at wirefly told me the delay in shipping would not affect any promotions. I took that to mean HTC will change the dates like they did for the original promotion because the phones were delayed.

I had did the pre-register like quite a few here did and got a new email from htc on May 1 saying buy new One by May 19 send in old by June 19
http://www.htctradeup.com/htcone/ and from that link you get this link http://www.htctradeup.com/htcone/?q=terms_of_use and in section 8 ( nice pun in there ) you get To receive the $100 trade in value (or actual device trade in value, whichever is greater) in exchange for the Device you trade in, you must register valid email address on or before April 4, 2013 at HTC OneTM Upgrade site, you must purchase and activate a new HTC One by May 19, 2013 and mail in your used Device with a valid Proof of Purchase of your HTC One (copy of UPC or invoice/receipt showing the IMEI) post marked by June 19, 2013.
Looks like the phones are about to start shipping. I had a live chat with support and they were able to give me the ESN number of my new HTC One, so I can finish the paperwork to get my $100

HEY GUYS, JUST WANED TO REPORT THAT I'VE RECEIVED AN EMAIL BACK FROM PRIZELOGIC WITH THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE:
"Dear _______, Thank you for your inquiry. Your submission has been received and approved. Please allow 4-6 weeks for delivery. Thank you, PrizeLogic Support"
UPDATE: Nov. 11th 2014 --- As many of you have reported, this morning I've also received the "Approved," email. Great stuff! Here is a link to what the approved email and trade-in confirmation looks like. Thanks aznmode.
:good: :good: :good: :good: :good: :good: :good: :good: :good: :good:
================================================
So I just clicked on the option to mail in the receipts.
Promo URL: https://samsunggalaxypromotions.com/Note4/
HOW IT WORKS:
Get a Guaranteed Total Trade-In of $200* on Any Working Smartphone.
Preorder the Samsung Galaxy Note® 4 from any carrier or retailer in the U.S. now through 10/16 (Verizon customers through 10/22).
Trade in any working smartphone at a participating retailer (minimum $10 trade in value).
Starting 10/10, come back to this site to submit your preorder and trade-in information. Must submit preorder and trade-in information by 11/30/14 at 11:59:59 PM ET. Best Buy customers go in-store to redeem instantly.
Enter your contact information (name, email address, phone number, mailing address (P.O. Boxes are not permitted) and date of birth).
Enter your device’s HEX MEID or IMEI number and Wi-Fi MAC address.
(Applications > Settings > General > About Device > Status)
Upload both preorder and trade-in receipts for validation.
The highlights in RED are what I'll be clarifying:
[I went into the TM store, called Samsung directly 3 times, Live chatted with them and spent half the day trying to get to the bottom of this.]
Can you trade in any working smart phone?
YES, as long as your smart phone is working, BUT the device must be eligible to receive at least $10 as a trade in. Bring your smart phone into a TM store or call them to get a trade in value amount -OR- if you'll be buying the phone from Best Buy, Walmart, Radio Shack or any other participating retailer, bring your old smart phone to them to find out your trade in amount. If any of them will give you more than $10 for your old phone, then you're all good to go. If not, then .... well go buy the cheapest eligible smart phone that you know for sure can get $10 trade in value from TM or any of the participating retailers. What is $200 worth to you? So what if you have to buy a beater eligible smart phone for $50....you're still in the plus $150. No brainer.
Ok what now?
Once you've confirmed that your smart phone trade in is over $10, then you need to obviously pre-order the phone at TM (store/phone/online) or at any of the participating retailers. Best Buy is actually the best because if you're buying your N4 with them, the $200 credit is instant where you can apply it to the purchase price of the N4. (Someone confirm this, but I think Samsung (kiosk/store) that's inside Best Buy don't have TM?) Anyhow, whoever you pre-order from, you will obviously get a receipt for the pre-order......????
What the heck is a trade in receipt?
If you're like the many who have pre-ordered online/phone/store with T-Mobile, you are not alone in scratching your head in trying to figure out what the heck a valid trade in receipt is. What is it exactly that we need to upload? When you pre-order with T-Mobile in the store, they will take your trade in right there and then and that info. should be printed on the transaction receipt. If you are ordering online/phone with T-Mobile, you will receive the Agreement emailed to you with a break down of the cost of your N4. You can then go into your myT-Mobile account and see the pre-paid shipping label included which contains the quote info. This I think you can use to submit the promo offer. So the question about the 'trade in receipt' ??? I think this is it....
Update: According to the TM rep, he said that once the N4 ships out that I will receive a receipt with the trade in value info on that piece of paper. Really? We'll have to wait and see. TM rep's weren't very familiar with the Samsung pro....
So the big mysterious question is: What the heck is a VALID trade in receipt??? Because come the 10th....what do we upload?!
Let it fly guys...please keep it clean and precise.
My main concern is with how this promotion is handled with JUMP. Do you have any additional hoops to jump through?
Thank you for starting this thread.
I was also scratching my head about the trade-in receipt. The TMO rep printed out a screenshot if his screen showing the pre-order and trade-in offer. I'm going to scan that and see if the Samsung site (tomorrow - 10/10/14) will except that.
I hope someone can give me a definite answer on this. I pre-ordered online but checked the box to trade in later, because I hadn't bought a phone to trade in yet.
I was told by two different store employees that when I received my new phone, I could bring it and the trade in phone to the store. Then they would do the trade in receipt, port my Sprint number, and activate the new phone. They would print out all of the receipts I needed to submit for the rebate.
Today a different employee told me that I should have provided the trade in phone information at the time I pre-ordered in order to be eligible for the rebate. He suggested that I cancel my order and reorder with the trade in phone info. Does anyone know for sure?
Note 4 Pre Order
Hi,
I pre-ordered mine at the T-Mobile store, and on the receipt it shows the purchase price of the new Note 4, but also has the "trade-in" information on the phone i gave in (IMEI, make, model) and also the value of it ($13).
So I'm guessing that is the trade-in receipt i will upload with the Note 4 info, unless we find out any other info.
Thanks.
I've called the T-Mobile 800 number twice and haven't been able to get a straight answer yet about having to preorder and do the trade in at the same time. Samsung's Terms and Conditions page: https://samsunggalaxypromotions.com/note4/en-us/Rules lists the two as separate steps, so I guess I'll have to go with that.
Evo 4G-what's the least expensive qualifying phone that meets the $10minimumtradein?
I'm still leaning toward the Note4 (the questionable speaker that may be a downgrade from my Note2 speaker leaves me some doubts) but am also interested in the Nexus6 expected to be announced ~10/15 for its 5.9" QHD display on the same size handset+processor with dual front facing speakers & Android L out of the box but would not trade in my SGN2 for $100 (or even $200 with promo) Samsung SGH-T889 Galaxy Note 2 16GB titanium TRADE-IN VALUE $100.00 but would trade in my EVO 4G for the promo if it met the $10 minimum HTC PC36100 APA9292 EVO 4G - Sprint TRADE-IN VALUE $6.00..what's the least expensive qualifying phone that meets the $10 minimum trade in for the $200 promo? :highfive:
Why does BestBuy promo an instant $200 for all carrier preorders except T-Mobile (wouldn't T-Mobile benefit from a BestBuy presence)? I also had planned to buy it full price to use with my $30/mo unlimited data-text-100minVoice T-Mobile prepaid plan that is by far the fastest carrier in my primary use area:good: (but coverage is inferior beyond my primary uses areas)..

I kind of agree with the second employee. As long as the trade in and the preorder are shown together, you should be okay. If they can add it, then great.

Since they're listed as separate steps in Samsung's own document, I'm just going to go with that. I have to wait to get the Note 4 and port my number over before I can do the actual trade in anyway.
Well, as much as I want to help you explore some options, in respect to staying within moral bounds I will refrain myself from saying anything in public. Hint: Look through this forum for a particular post. Wait did somebody say something?

I'm pretty sure Samsung will be receiving a lot of that particular 'trade in receipt.' I hope it works, because I will be doing the same.

Thank you for starting this thread.
I was also scratching my head about the trade-in receipt. The TMO rep printed out a screenshot if his screen showing the pre-order and trade-in offer. I'm going to scan that and see if the Samsung site (tomorrow - 10/10/14) will except that.

When you receive your Note 4, it will have in it a pre-paid label to ship your trade-in back. Once T-Mobile receives the trade-in, you will be issued a confirmation of the trade in via ??? (I'm thinking it'll either reflect on your next months bill, emailed, or mailed. However, it'd be best to probably just call customer care once you can confirm that T-Mobile has received in the trade-in via tracking it online as the pre-paid label should have a tracking number on there.)
As for bringing it in the store, that may be an option for you since you will be porting your number from a different carrier, but in most cases T-Mobile stores will only take in a trade at the time of purchasing another device. It usually all has to be done at the same time. Therefore, since you are receiving the phone via mail I'm thinking that it automatically defaults to you having to do just that by waiting and bringing it in then.
I'm thinking that the second guy was a little confused himself. If you are active on Sprint now and if that is the device you would be trading in, along with the fact that you did order it online, I think what I've mentioned above is to hold true. For anyone that pre-orders online will follow the normal protocol of waiting to receive the device and to ship it back with the provided pre-paid label.
Bare in mind, most of these workers at any cell phone place don't really have that much of an IQ. I can bet that the majority of people in this community have more knowledge than they do with phones in general. Remember, most of them are just non tech people who are just there to make a pay check and are robots to scripts and training that they receive. I'm used to receiving different answers all the time....hilarious but true.

Yes, this is ideally the way Samsung would want it done, but it's not the only way. The main thing here is having that 'trade-in' receipt to show a trade-in value of $10 or more. That's it. Well of course the proof of pre-order receipt too.
So the way you did it is 1st best. Pre-ordering online and/or Calling 611 to pre-order and waiting to receive the phone, while sending your trade in back is the 2nd best. :highfive:

T-Mobile is not very familiar with the promo. Believe me, I've called them many times and have spent hours on the phone with them and every time I get something different.
Don't count on getting anywhere while speaking to some tech ignorant trained for nothing rep who just reads a script. I've had a lot of bad experience with reps not knowing crap from crap, unless it involved basic account stuff.
I think there's enough info in this thread now to know what needs to be done.
We'll be good either way. :good:

Well if you went with the Nexus 6 you will still not be getting a good of a deal. The $200 promo is hard to beat.
I'm pretty sure Best Buy is known to not have TM within their Samsung department within the store. You can get TM Pre-Paid from the Best Buy mobile section in the store, but that's all I've seen. I think? Someone confirm this.
The walmart plan that you have is the best TM pre-paid plan for anyone who uses little minutes. You can't beat it.

The Nexus 6 may be $200 less than the Note4 without promos & it's not clear I qualify for this promo given what I've already described (unless someone suggests the least expensive qualifying phone that meets the $10 minimum trade in for the $200 promo) & if I'd be willing to wait for a non-instant credit through Samsung compared to BestBuy (who doesn't carry T-Mobile devices) instant credit but price isn't the main factor in my decision. I'd like to get the Note4 for nearly $200 less especially since I find its speaker disappointing but at this point may wait to hear more about the Nexus6 or potentially get both & possibly return the one I'm least overall satisfied with.. :victory:

Trying to do this right now and its not accepting my IMEI or Wifi Mac! Am i correct in understanding that u need the Note 4's IMEI and Mac Address and not the trade in device?
Because before entering your pre-order date and IMIE and wifi mac Address it says:
"We'll also need your new device's IMEI or Hex MEID number and Wi-Fi MAC address"
(Emphasis on NEW device's)
So we can only submit this once we get our Note 4s?

Correct, you need to enter your Note 4 IMEI number and Wifi Mac address for the rebate.
That's great that you're exercising your options. I hope you find that perfect phone. IMO at the end of the day, the Note 4 will be a better phone. Spec wise, in every way it is. Design wise I think the N4 is much better. I've played with the N4 extensively at Best Buy and I did not notice any speaker issue. In fact, to me it seemed more beefy than the N3. When I had the N3, ViperAudio equalizer brought it to life. For us ROM geeks, I wouldn't ever put my final judgement on the stock TW / Software and its abilities, because it's just a matter of a 'short time' before we got some incredible ROM's that will make the N4 even more than what it is. :good:

Thanks for this update!
It's clear now that for us who have ordered online / 611, we have to wait before submitting the info.
All good.

Pissed, haven't even received my 32GB, black leather, red trim phone yet, and I can get it $50 cheaper now. My wife has an upgrade available too, can I buy a new one and return the phone to Verizon w/in 14 days?

Why not try asking Motorola for a credit. For the inconvenience of still waiting for your phone and since they've discounted the price. Pick up a turbo charger and a case or something.

Working on that now, though I really only want to get the $50 discount. Only headache is related to the upgrades. The Moto maker process did take my upgrade, so I spoke to Verizion, aside from having to play some upgrade ping pong with the upgrade on my wife's line, there shouldn't be a problem placing a second order and getting the upgrade back when Motorola cancels my first order. If I didn't have another upgrade available, this would be a much bigger deal.
I only placed the original order on 10/8, which is one reason why I am miffed about the discount. I realize that Moto can't always just apply sale pricing to previous purchases. I'm actually pleasantly surprised that they are willing to take the phone back w/ no penalty (15 day buyers remorse program, includes return shipping via FedEx). The upgrade ping pong is a minor annoyance and worth the $50 to me. It would certainly be nice if they could just cancel the first order... on hold regarding that right now. Cancelling the order wasn't possible.
Overall, both Moto and Verizon customer support were very helpful, and I'll be able to get my discounted 32GB, black leather, red trim Moto X 3 days later than the original.
