It is a Best Buy deal of the day. I just ordered the Black. Given the $29 cost you would have to pay for an extra cradle, you are getting the watch for $70 net.
Best deal I've seen so far and now I have the black and the mocha.

Hard choice between the black and the moca, but I chose the moca. This was the only price, or lower, I was willing to pay since the new one is dropping soon.:good:

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.

i would not suggest that as buying it out that early is quite expensive. if your within 2 months of your upgrade i believe its only 50$ and they add it to your bill no up front cost.

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

So I've just received a email saying my order was canceled because it was listed at the wrong price.
You can still get the 25% off price by calling your local best buy and order over the phone, ask them to match t-mobiles' price.

My best buy still honored tmoble price match. Just got watch about an hour ago. Talked to manager straight off the bat and asked if they had watch. When he said yes I asked for price match and handed him tmoble price I printed off a few days ago. He said he's not suppose to but doesn't really care and he gave me the price. Got it for 209 plus tax.

I think because Samsung dropped the price in India to $250. Even best buy has it at $250 now. I'm waiting for it to hit $200 from a regular store before I jump in.
I bought 2 at that price in December from eBay. I don't regret it at all.
I know myself, if I didn't have one already, i would definitely bite on that one. I mean, that kinda kills my resale value although i only paid $240. My other thought is that every time I see a decent size price drop on Galaxy products, it's because the next version is coming out soon.
I went to Craigslist and got mine for 190. But I also made sure it connected and asked the guy if he rooted it and flashed it. He told me it was stock and he had to Google root and flash so I knew it was a good buy!!! And I was gonna wait for the next generation also but these thoughts came to mind. 1 how much will the Gear 2 cost if the Gear was 300 (Sales werent great but good enough to make a gear2) 2. I don't wear watches so trying one out wouldn't hurt (forget I'm wearing it sometimes) 3. After seeing people flash it updates already the Gear will be just as good as the Gear 2 except for hardware. Unless they add a sim chip like the omate then I'd swoop it oh and front facing camera so I can video chat. Sorry for the long post.

If I don't use live wallpaper, I can unplug the watch at 7am and by the time I head to bed at 11pm I still have 50% charge left with normal use. (I'm using Null ROM).
Woot, just bought the orange one...... heard the white gets dirty quick with no known way to clean.
I took the shot. For $150, I think it's worth it. Orange is what I went with. Hope it's not gross. They were out of the white locally (within 100 miles) after lunch, but had at least one before lunch.
Now... Guess I'll read up on it eh. LOL! :good:

Lol, I traded in my black. Got an oatmeal beige. Open box (unsold before, still all protectors on ) for $130. Tempted to ebay or craigslist it, I got it for so cheap. Only downside, battery was at 0.
Getting 125 bucks back is a win.
I picked up the Grey (Mocha) one at BB tonight. They said it wasn't on sale, only certain colors were, but they gave it to me for $150 anyways.

Well those used for around a month on eBay go for £100~ so if your wanting to try but not sure go for a used one
In my opinion best to wait for gear 2 the price of the first will drop even further. And both are similar but 2 being thinner and little sleeker

Gear 2 will be pretty useless at the beginning, due to completly new OS and once again, lack of apps. I would just go for Gear 1 at the moment, put Null there, and wait few months how's situation with the Tizen.

I ordered online and chose Store Pick Up in the cart. No offense, but if AT&Ts store employees can't process a standard system transaction - not like I did something funny, they offered the option - that's bad training. It did take me a few extra minutes in the store because, they are still charging the $299.99, but everything turned out smooth. Just bring the card you used online and an ID.

How can you even make this claim? It stands to reason that the lack of apps designed for the Gear is because of the planned switch to Tizen. Are you suggesting that the app selection for the Galaxy Gear is plentiful? I understand you can side-load phone apps, but that is an unacceptable solution for the lack of dedicated apps in the Samsung store.
I think I'm just goona get it from att tomorrow for 199. If the new one is goona be 399 I can just get this one If it's goona be supported and get the updates. I don't see why I should buy the new gear 2 and have to wait when I can get this for 199 and it's still supported

I think that's a reasonable decision. The next cool device is always coming but as long as you can get something out of what you have now it is all good.

Shop Amazon / Purchase BBY
I've been monitoring Gear prices pretty closely for my hobby site.
Agree w/ H3Dude - the best strategy is to set up a price alert on Amazon, then buy at Best Buy.
The trick is timing: on Amazon, I've seen the 'New' price on the Gear swing from current "list" of $299, down to $186, and back up to list - in the same day.
Also, if you're willing to buy the Orange one, you'll get a much better deal.
Good luck!
In france, we can get it for 60€. (after a 100€ refound from samsung.)
