eBay has the Surface Duo OPEN BOX with all original accessories for $275, qualifies for 10% off, then add 1-year insurance for $35, total should be $282 plus tax should be just about $300 which is a GREAT deal considering you have nothing to lose if anything goes wrong - these devices are not very "fixable" so you're likely to get your money back if it breaks within the first year. Great way to try this new form factor phone at a steep discount.

So glad they don't ship to Hawaii. Now won't have to stress about getting another thing I don't need or not. Lol
No high tech thing would ship to Hawaii , stay with beaches and volcano to enjoy the day!
I'll bite when Duo 2 512gb comes down to this price point.

Got mine from the prior sale at $299 with 256gb. Ditched the iphone 12 and this is now it's my daily driver.
Pros:
- very nice tablet size dual screen for multitasking
- slick hardware - feels premium, super thin, nice hinge
- love the wide screen ratio
- now i can use samsung pay on my watch 3 active
- decent battery life
Cons:
- no 5G, not a big issue at the moment
- subpar camera
- touch screen is not as responsive as iphone 12, could be my screen protector
- cannot facetime my daughter Frown
- flimsy charging port and no wireless charging

you can facetime your daughter if she invites you to do so.. Apple opened up their facetime protocol to allow iPhone / Mac users to invite android and PC users. If you can't facetime your daughter don't blame it on the phone Smilie

When I was unlocking my phone, I contacted AT&T and Microsoft on the same day. AT&T beat Microsoft by a day, six days vs. seven.
Oh. I contacted ATT three different ways over two weeks and then gave up on them. I then filled out a form on Microsoft's Surface Support site and they emailed me the code six days later.

I've unlocked around 5 phones from that method but I'll admit it's been around a year since I did the last one.
I got mine from the first Woot batch about 1.5 years ago. ATT acted like they never heard of the Surface Duo. One rep even said they didn't carry any Microsoft phones.

That doesn't surprise me one bit being AT&T. Did you try the online method first?

Yes. I got a couple automated emails telling me to wait x days. When x days expired without the unlock code I moved on to Microsoft. The best instructions at the time stated to have a failed ATT support ticket number before contacting Microsoft but they never asked for it.

Sounds like their unlocking site has gone to hell. It used to be so good and so easy.

I just received this and it's clearly used. I would NOT describe it as open box as BuyDug does. I'm returning, scratches, smell, and all.

Oof .. I was afraid of this, but makes sense given that they're totally out of stock and.. WHY would there be so many open box stock suddenly?

Were you able to return it? I am looking to return as well but haven't heard from they yet. Any ideas how to progress further? Never dealt with Buydig before and any help is truly appreciated.

I just received mine. Although mine doesnt have scratches... both outer glass panels seem to be separating from the frame and one internal glass panels has a small gap. I can put my fingernail between the frame and glass.
