Samsung galaxy note 2 deal on Black Friday thread

Sprint - walmart has the phone @ 229, I went to bestbuy and had them pricematch it.

I'm interested in getting the Note 2 .. from what I've researched online, the best provider in Portland, Oregon area is Verizon (for speed, data, coverage map in areas I am at, etc.) ....

I've heard Verizon has a late release of the phone, so I don't suppose there will be any deals, huh?

Quote from drsketch : Sprint - walmart has the phone @ 229, I went to bestbuy and had them pricematch it.

were you upgrading or buying a new plan?
walmart.com says $349 (ouch) for an upgrade, $229 for a new plan.
was curious if they matched the new plan price for an upgrade.

sprint:
amazon is down to $229 for new plans and $279 for re-upping

just so you guys know, Wirefly friends and family have it for $250.... not as good as the $225 they had it a few days ago, but decent

nice, thanks. i had only looked at their regular pricing.

think i'm going to wait until friday to see if there are any surprise sales, but when i got as far as checkout on wirefly, just to see the total etc, i got this message:

"The offer you selected is no longer available. Below is our most popular package for your area. You may also update your selection using the links below."

I was told by someone tat BB that if you buy the Note 1 and get the insurance plan and it breaks they will give you the Note 2 since the Note 1 is no longer in production. I really doubt this because im pretty sure they give you refurbs in that case. Also whats all this about $50 and $150 rebates for the Note 2, none of this is advertised.

NewEgg is selling it for $199 WITH a $30 gift card to their store, so $170!

I finally found a slickdeal!

Well shoot, I was so hopeful that there would be a price below $200 for the Note II. Probably going to go into the TMobile store this morning when it opens to see what kind of deals they can give. I live like 5 minutes away from one. I'll let you guys know what happens!

Coming over from ios (iphone 3gs, 4, 5) -- a few things that I've noticed and pretty hard to get used to is that it does not do notifications the same way as IOS. the notifications on android, imo, are way behind ios.

you need to install go sms to get group sms working ok and even that isn't perfect -- which is a PIA since1/2 of the people I talk to in groups are using ios. sometimes the sms sends out the message 2-3x as well.

samsung put on a keyboard that is smaller and can be aligned to the left/right side of the each but the keyboard DOES NOT do auto-replace of corrected words. you need to choose it. otherwise, if you install another keyboard it can do it but those don't allow for one-handed typing (YET).

but, one thing is that the screen on this is BEAUTIFUL. it looks and feels 30-40% bigger than the iphone 5 screen ... i don't need to squint and view videos.

also, LTE on it seems to function better than the chipset in the iphone 5 (i had both phones in the store and my iphone5 would not get a signal while in the ATT store prior to my note 2 being activated).

I bought the Note 2 right when it was released. I couldn't wait after seeing the unveiling of the note 2.
I returned the phone after 1 week, the phone locked up several times to where I had to pull the battery to "reset" which att people said was "normal"!! I re-purchased a Iphone5 and couldn't be happier!!
Apple still is the king, the Apps are way more polished and ios is very easy to use...

Just my 2 cents for those looking at the Note 2.

ios sucks balls. and you 2 guys above are clueless.

for me it was free. I had bought it at $299 then got $100 off from a match. Then t-mobile had the $49 sale which I was able to get att to give me $200 in bill credits. On the same call she mentioned family messaging promo which went from $30 to $20 for life. So all in all the phone actually made me money

Plus I sold my note one for $420 so it was a good deal all around

Add clean note rom to this phone and it FLIES !!!!!!!!
