Canadian Nexus 7 Purchase

X/P
I had ordered a N7 from Google Play on June 28 and have not yet received shipping confirmation or had my card charged, but I went to my local Staples this morning (BC) and was able to buy a Nexus 7 from them. I didn't preorder from Staples, just walked in and walked out.

The same thing is happening to others in the US as well!! Glad to see you got yours

You should put it on ebay as a limited edition Nexus and ask for $399.99.

I was taking comfort in the fact that it hadn't been released in Canada yet, but this confirms that pre-ordering was a $20 boot to the nuts.

Same thing happened to me too! Bought it from Memory Express this afternoon. Not sure what to do with my pre- order now. I tried canceling but was on hold for so long I couldn't wait.

Ya same here, but I ended up biting the bullet and got a 16GB one from Futureshop instead of the 8GB from the Play Store (put a request to cancel this morning and still no response :-\) but it turned out to be only about ~$40 more cause of that stupid shipping charge. It also said it would ship July 17th which is fine by me cause the Canadian launch looks like its going to be 'late' and ship around the same time.

I got my credit.
To those of you who has a pre order to from the Play Store and bought one in store, are you going to keep the other one? I called them and they said they can't cancel orders now and to just refuse the delivery. But they won't refund the shipping. Even though they don't think actually shipped yet.

I'm gonna wait. I'm gonna go play hockey in the meantime... maybe take out my frustration there... jk.

Oh, sorry, I had a question. So, are the units from the Play Store black or brown? Coz apparently all the ones in retail stores here (staples, London drugs, best buy, etc) are brown.

Your guess is as good as mine. I just went in there to ask when they were going to be selling them to the public and he looked at me like I was crazy and said "I have them in stock right now". So, I bought one. LOL

As far as I know, we can't cancel, just refuse delivery. But let us know if you're successful in canceling! I might do it, too.
And try googling google's number. (yes, that was lame... Sorry)

T-Mobile Price Hike

Was at my local T-Mobile store last night and I noticed that it retails for $549 now?
I love my Nexus 4, but at $549 off contract, the value goes out the window... From that standpoint and as little advertising as I have noticed, it's directly in competition with devices like the S3. IMO, bad move here, whether by T-Mobile or LG, that will hurt LG in the long run!

No it won't. Every one does this. It is hiked to $550 so that people will buy it on contract. If you go to best buy you will notice that their off contract prices are $100 more than carrier off contract prices. The nexus is still only $350 in the play store. Whenever that is in stock.

T-Mobile and other retailers always sold it at "regular" pricing. Granted it's still cheaper than most phones similar to it. The LG Optimus G that this phone is based off is $800 off contract. The Galaxy S3 when that came out was about $700. You may think $549 is a lot for just a "phone" but then you could say this is a bargain compared to long ago, $3,000 was the cost of a phone then.

Ridiculous UK Pricing!!

So the LG G Flex finally went up for pre-order today and the pricing is crazy! Contract or Sim Free. £700 Sim Free or £99 for the phone and then £74.99 a month for unlimited minutes, unlimited texts and 50 MB!! internet? That has to be a joke!

Heh well it is a very expensive low volume device in the grand scheme of things... if flexible phones are popular the costs will come down I am sure on future models

Yeah no kidding. Wonder why so late? It's like a week after the note 3 was released last year

The only explanation for this messy launch is some sort of supply chain issue. I wonder what happened?

Those prices though!
In Canada, I can only imagine the price with the exchange rate and taxes will put it well over $1000. Not sure how I feel about this.

Lol way to botch a launch. So much Samsung in my house you know they ship tons of stuff.... So why can't they get it right? Could also be a difference in culture. I know in America we want the latest and we want it now... Maybe over there things don't get as much interest?

Any news on UK and Asia launch

I'm not spending over $1k, that's insane. To me there is no phone worth that much. Especially when I consider the features of Touchwiz that I don't use. I have always said that I wouldn't buy a phone that did not include both a micro SD slot and removable battery after owning an S3. If prices are this high the Nexus 6/X will move way up my list and I'll hold off to see what it offers. Here's to hoping they offer it to us for $850 maximum.

Hmm, so it says in fine print you're trade in phone needs to be worth $10 or more, and you'll get check for difference between $200 and your trade-in value.
So glad I kept my Galaxy S2 Skyrocket in a drawer for the last couple years. Shows it's worth $26 trade in. So can get a check for $174, and can get the Note 4 for really cheap.

How do you find out how much your phone is worth? I got my old fascinate.

Lolololol. Its just a phone. And its just a month. Who cares which one comes out first? Apple fans will buy Apple products, Samsung fans will buy Samsung products, etc. Not pleased but yet you're still getting one? Who are you kidding.
P.S. Verizon has the pre-order for only the white note 4. Sprint starts on Sept. 26th. AT&T has white and black for pre-order now.
and the verizon note 4 ships on Oct. 23.

I got a different (and better) trade in value by going to
trade-in.vzw.com
I traded in an old (and unused for the past several years) iphone 4.
They appraised it at $65.
I really didnt care about the trade in price as long as it was more than $10.
They are sending the shipping materials, then I will just have to wait for the Note 4 to arrive so I can fill out the form on the Samsung webpage to get the $135 balance.
Bottom line is that the Note 4 only cost me $99 !

T-Mobile USA Note 9 50% off question

If I trade in S7 I will get the note 9 for $500 with 24 monthly bill credits.
My questions:
1. Can I pay off the note 9 few months later? (in case I want to sell it)
2. If I pay it off, will I have to pay $1000 or $500?
Thanks

I'm not positive, but. I think you can pay it off early. I'm just trying to figure out how to use my JUMP from a Note to get the 512gb version without putting 500 bucks down lol

I believe you would pay off the remaining balance of the $500 plus any taxes. This would be the case if you still had payments on the old phone if you use Jump to upgrade.

That's what I thought too (pay off only $500), but I was chatting with t-mobile rep and he said I would have to pay full $1000. I don't think he knew what he was talking about...

If I'm reading the materials correctly, they are giving you a $500 credit which leaves a balance of $499 plus tax for the $128gb version. If you had to pay the full $1k then they are making out on the deal since you gave them a phone.

From what I understand the $500 is in bill credits, so it wouldn't be just $500 off.

It's bill credits, so you don't get the full $500 off until you make your 24th payment.

I find it amazing that I can get $500 for my Note 5. I am going to pre order tonight.

I'll get it if it gets rooted and 100% battery

Except that no other carriers are requiring those down payments. I can pay it, I just don't think I want to when switching carriers will get me the phone with zero down. Hell, Sprint is offering it for no money down and 20 bucks a month.

Could you point to the source? T-Mobile Twitter is telling me some other price.

Ordered through T-Mobile. Ocean Blue 512/8. Half off...almost? Yes please. Did not care for that huge downpayment though. :/

I hate t mobile and their bill credit deals. You really have to keep on top of them to make sure they give it to you and make sure they get your phone you turn in. I have waited months before to get this stuff straight in the past with other “deals.” This time I am ordering the unlocked version from Samsung instead. Screw t mobiles “bill credit” junk.

I just did the preorder and got the $500 off for an old Note 5 (yay!) as bill credits, EIP comes to $9 a month. Down payment sucked, but for $9 a month I will suck it up.
My only issue is nowhere did it ask me to choose my preorder gift. How do I get my headphones or Fortnite pack?
