Thanks. I've been toying with the idea of getting one of these for a while. This pushed me over the edge.

This is a hot deal. They're normally $225 on B&N's site.

Wow, it's just one sale after another for our beloved NC. I might consider a second one for the wife.

I was just about to post this. Deal is still on.
I have 2 nook coming my way. 1 I bought two days ago at $225 that I am going to return as soon as the package lands on my doorstep. Another one that I just bought last night at $189. I'm so excited!

I got one as well!
Cant wait to play!

Sucks, I ordered a refurb one yesterday for $225, I emailed them to see if I can get them to just refund the $35 as I don't have enough left on my paypal to buy a second one at $190 and just wait til I can send the other one back. Hopefully they still have them available in like a week so I can still get the savings.

I Have one for sale if anyone is interested check out my thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1151861

I'd look but it says I don't have permission. You can PM details if you'd like.

I just ordered one through this deal too, making it my first personal nook color and third one I'll be setting up with aftermarket firmware (Thinking CM as the honeycomb stuff is just too buggy for me).

Thanks, I just ordered one for my wife to give me for my birthday!

Yay 4 Juggs,
You still have your NC for sale? If yes, plz tell me more about it & your price via PM or email em at [email protected].. Thanks

If I remember correctly B&N also selling new NC with 50 dollar coupon. Do you think its worth to buy that or just buy the refurbished one?

Could you please post the source for the $50 coupon?
I personally would not hesitate one second to buy a new device @ $200 over a refurb for $190...

I know there is a sale for $25 off the NC new if you have a B&N membership but that's the only sale I found from days of searching.

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!

eBay you can find them as low as 590 used but new ones run about 650

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.

Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Unlocked Cellphone--US Warranty (Blue)

(this phone got no problem with screen!)
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-GT-N7...QL30/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1324089027&sr=8-4

what the hell is blue version ?
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?

Pre-Orders Now Open on Expansys (USA)

Expansys-USA.com, which doesn't charge tax in most states, now has the new Nexus devices up for pre-order.
Additionally, you can use MrRebates.com to get 2% cash-back.

Thanks for the heads up. But it doesn't tell me if they will charge me sales tax in California. If I don't know this then it's not worth pre-ordering through them. Can anyone tell me if they do based on past experience?

They don't charge you until you accept the cost once they get their shipment. No risk just pre-ordering and finding out if there's sales tax later

is there any benefit buying this from Expansys vs the Play store besides that you can pre order right now?

Looks like this is for the 8gb model, do they have pre-orders up for the 16gb model?

I'm thinking of doing the same thing. Just weary of putting my bank info out there if I don't have to so I like to know its a sure thing before pre-ordering.
Also want to make sure this comes with a U.S. 1-year warranty from Google. I'm used to Expansys being the place you order foreign phones from and if anything goes wrong you have to ship them over to Europe or whatnot to get them fixed

What do you guys think about the price on Expansys? Will it be much bigger than 300usd compare to the Google Store? If not, I would order it from EU.

Yeah, my order came out to no tax and no charge for shipping.
Ordered it on a Thursday afternoon, was ready to ship by Saturday and got it 4 days later in a small box on my doorstep via FedEx Ground.
Great phone, but looking forward to the Nexus 4 and considering ordering it from them again to save on shipping/tax to California. Plus cash back is available at various sites.

Best Buy

I got my pre ordered One on Sunday from my local best buy. I paid $260 after my upgrade and getting the geek squad insurance and sales tax. I got to reading the wire fly thread and saw that they had them for $119 with $20 visa card. That would drop it down to $100 plus I get the $100 from my OG EVO. WELL...I went into Best Buy tonight and told them I wanted a refund on my phone and I was going to buy from Wire Fly. They asked if they price matched, would I keep it? Said, SURE! Walked out paying $.01 for phone and $9.99 for protection plan. $10.00!!!! I also get $100 back from HTC! In the end I'll have made $90 on the new ONE!
Just had to share my story. Love this phone!

Wish I had nice Best Buys near me that price matched online retailers. Mine only does local brick & mortar stores. Congrats!

Hey, I've got black tie, too. Dies having black tie help get any kind of discount even when you're not upgrade eligible? (Sorry, not real familiar with black tie/best buy).

Very nice. I wish bestbuy would be consistent with their pricematching.

I had every intention on returning it I even chatted with an online sales person to see if they'd price match, they told me only if it says 'lowest price guarantee". When I went in, the girl asked me if they matched the price, would I keep the phone. She then asked the details she must have misunderstood me and gave it to me for free. Score!
Was able to give evo4g LTE to son and send in his evo for $100.

I bought a HTC One from Best Buy, then realized that Sprint was selling it for $150 less. They would not price match so I ordered one from Sprint, it arrived a couple days later, then returned the first one back to them.
Pretty ridiculous that they wouldn't price match especially considering I bought it off contract.

I could be mistaken but I believe their policy says they price match most things except "contract phones." Since you were going to buy yours off-contract from BB, they should have price matched. I would call up BB corporate and complain, telling them that cannot see yourself shopping at BB any longer after that experience. I do this every time a BB employee/manager screws up and corporate always makes up for it by sending me a $50 gift card.
Here is the policy:

I let them know that I would never considering buying a phone from them again. I will continue to use Best Buy for their "showrooming" quality and order my stuff online.

Ya I too bought mine from best buy off contract and I couldn't for the life of me get them to price match sprints off contract price when I use to get them to price match the off contact price on my past phones like the Evo 3d and Galaxy Nexus, they said it was a new policy that went into effect in like March

Hate to one up ya......but check out what I did. Last year my wife and I both got 2 Evo 4G LTE's and I shelled out an extra $30 on each phone for their black tie trade in program. I had to open up 2 new lines as my wife and I's lines were not available for upgrade. Best buy let me swap my 2 new lines to the old lines. This would allow me to upgrade my LTE's in a year if I wanted. (My friend wanted one of my lines and the other went to my mother). So this brings us to this year and the one. When I went to trade in my LTE's, Best Buy gave us $280.00 per LTE for trade....I walked out about $40.00 + after taxes....and have 2 phones to send back to HTC....so end the end....+240.00!!!! (well minus the $60 i paid for the program only $180 ahead.) still not bad being paid for this awesome phone!!

Ya, that new policy in March says no price matching for "contract phone." The employee you spoke with incorrectly applied it to off contract phones. You can see the policy in the link I provided in my previous post in this thread. I would print out a copy and show it to them. If they still refuse, call corporate and complain. They will likely send you a gift card for your trouble at the minimum.
