What accessories do they give you?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] teiglin:
Where did you hear that you get a month of free data? I also think I did have to pay the upgrade fee last time I bought at costco, though it could have changed I guess.

The 90 days is equipment-only. If you return within 30 days you can also have AT&T cancel your contract, but after that you can only exchange the phone for another on-contract AT&T phone (or return the equipment for cash and throw the subsidy away I guess). Costco itself is very lenient with returns but they can't do anything about the 30 day AT&T contract cancellation period.

Costco has add-a-line prices, but it's often a bit more expensive depending on the phone.

It varies by phone. Usually it's something like a car charger, case, screen protectors, and/or earbuds.

I definitely recommend at least checking out buying from costco. The 90 day exchange period alone is a great reason. I've found their prices are usually a smidge higher than amazon wireless, but if you want the free accessories or aren't 100% sure on the phone you want it's great.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MyxoFish:
Just curious.

I'm part of a family plan and I'm waiting to upgrade. The $50 discount at Amazon is not available to me because of the family plan. Will I get a discount at Costco... or am I stuck paying the $300?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bignate78:
Starting to look better for prices, still waiting out on it going lower, come on $199 .....or less lol

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] teiglin:
Most costco upgrade prices are the same as the new contract prices, and they don't differentiate between family/individual plans (they have three prices--new contract, upgrade, add a line). However they don't generally discount as deeply as amazon. If I had to guess the Note will probably be $280-$290 for upgrades when it comes to costco, but we won't know for sure until they have it. In my experience the guys at the kiosk in costco don't generally know much ahead of time what their upcoming options will look like, but you could go ask.

Take a look at their website; they have all their current offerings there, and I've never seen them have different online and in-store prices. I'm sure the Note will show up there when it is available.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dakleenupman:
Best Buy clearly has a sticker on the test unit I saw that had a $35 restocking fee will apply on it.

No restocking fee. 90 day equipment guarantee. 30 days for service return timeframe. Typically they sell new handsets at 70-80 less than the selling price, which in this case is around 350. So hence the 270-280 range on the purchase cost.

Keep in mind also folks, Amazon Wireless is an ONLINE service with additional ETF rules and guidelines, more than just the carrier. If you need to return or want to return, there will be headaches to face. At least Costco is local and brick and mortar.

Accessories have been covered in prior posts and replies.

You WILL need to be a member of Costco ($55-$110 with $110 the Executive and has cash back accruals of %2 of purchases made for the entire year! So get paid to shop, that's what I do!) to purchase this.

Looking at the total package, I'm glad to be a member and make my phone purchases there! Piece of mind, great pricing, local locations and some additional monies back make me stay.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] phillyrican:
Not impressed I would rather get it for $250 and a free case that's a $80 savings not to mention the black tie insurance and I plan on keeping the note so I Really don't care about a restocking fee
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dakleenupman:
Are you paying an upgrade fee? What about a car charger, screen protectors, possibly ear buds or a leather holster versus the flip case?

Just pointing out some additional advantages... :-)

To each his own. For me, it'll work out better in the long run.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] phillyrican:
i go with the SGP screen protectors...what kind are they giving you?. The accessorizes i pretty much got taken care of already

just curious tho how is there insurance is there a deductible ? because with besdtbuy there is none
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dakleenupman:
There is no insurance. You'd have to go through AT&T or buy 3rd party like square trade or similar.

Looks like Best Buy is a better route for you. Especially for that no deductible coverage. I'm wondering if that Black-Tie plan could be purchased for phones not bought at Best Buy. Something to cOnsider.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rchapoteau:
I had gone to 3 different Costco's on friday to ask about the Note and they had no clue about it. I had already pre-ordered from Best Buy so I'm sticking with them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] imitenotbecrazy:
Black tie protection can be purchased on iPhone bought somewhere else but no other phones. And we don't have any restocking fees regardless of what you've seen/ been told. Some managers got in trouble not long ago for telling people we had restocking fees to avoid return/exchanges.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Saelee:
I work at Costco. Yesterday when I checked the price of the phone they had it for $350. Yes $50 more than retail. also it is only available for home delivery meaning they have to special order it.. I don't know nothing about getting the first month data for free.

It maybe different if you order at Costco.com
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dakleenupman:
Ok so here it is. Costco will begin selling via home delivery on the 21st fir a cost of 269.99. You'll get the phone, accessories with no upgrade/ activation fees. No credit will be given for the first months data plan though.... 90 day return/ exchange program. There was also mention of a free extended battery as well but ill see that if and when it happens. No restocking fee either! Available in white or carbon blue.

Galaxy Note at Costco

dakleenupman,

thx for the good info. curious though as to how u get ur intel on costco selling the note starting on 2/21. i called our local costco wireless folks and they had no idea. no reason to question the reliability of ur info but also don't want to rely upon it if it turns out that it will be several wks b/f costco starts selling it.

thx!

jjshroomer
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Saelee:
I checked yesterday before I got off work and the computer still says $350 and for home delivery only. Again this info is only for the store itself the pricing may be different online.

I live in Northern California btw. The pricing may be different in a different region.

So I am interested where he got the info as well.

I couldn't wait so I went to BB to buy it last night afterwork. Got my $50 off and very happy with the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dakleenupman:
If you work at Costco, you'll know that The pricing is usually not the same as what the kiosk guys sell it for. To answer the question, unfortunately not all wireless employees are all in the know and gung ho about their jobs. My info comes from a guy who likes what he does and is persistent in keeping up on the latest greatest things. True that not all markets will be the same but from what I hear, the info I posted should be correct. I guess you'll need to push a little harder on those wireless employees to get the info you need. That's what I do.... ;-)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mortem Tuam:
these guys are giving the Note out for $149 for new customers

http://www.logicbuy.com/deals/samsung-galaxy-note-smartphone/37363.aspx
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dakleenupman:
I've bought so many phones over the years from Costco, I should work there. The guys I deal with haven't been wrong yet so no reason to think so now. They sell with rebates or coupons so that may be why the difference in pricing. I guess you could always monitor the website too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jjshroomer:
Thanks!!!

dakleenupman,

thx for the great info. will wait for it to come out at my local costco. appreciate the help!

best regards,

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] orangekid:

Thanks man!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mortem Tuam:
cool :cool:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dakleenupman:
Be sure to read the fine print on that deal. Also remember where you're. Buying it from in the event you ever need any support down the road. Just some things to think about.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dakleenupman:
No problem. I hope it all works out for you!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] phrozen209:
The price in the computer is usually the "retail" price that it used to calculate the tax, then they will have a instant coupon when you actually go and order it. I work at Costco in NorCal as well :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dakleenupman:
Today is the day.... Those who have yet to obtain their Note and want to try the Costco approach, please post back any results as I'd like to see what comes of this. I'd like to know so I can either thank my good fellows for the heads up or crack those heads for the wrong info.... ;-)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] s1mpd1ddy:
I called up the costco in my area and they don't have any knowledge about the galaxy note or even if it's coming to their store.

The guy sounded like he had no clue what I was talking about.

Anyone have it available at their costcos?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dakleenupman:
Ok so I called my Costco and am being told the shipper, brightstar has delayed and are expecting tomorrow as the day. My apologies for the someone else's error. But I'm being reassured that it will launch.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dakleenupman:
Ok well nevermind. Costco is starting to sell this phone at 299.99 as of today. Usual accessory package. Its regularly 349 with a 50 instant discount. I guess my guys are getting lax with the info.

Looks like Best Buy is lowest at this point for local purchases. Sorry I had everyone all excited for nothing. Still get the 90 days.... at Costco.... ;-)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rogsoccerman:
Where?

I don't see it on Costco. Any new info?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dakleenupman:
Yeah, I see what you mean. Not sure. Maybe they haven't updated the site. I know they have it listed in the warehouse at the kiosk. I wonder if this is location specific but shouldn't be as Wireless Advocates supply every Costco I've ever been to.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] agegsg:
So, i'm going to be a noob... please forgive me

So is there a link to order this or do I have to go to the kiosk at Costco for this deal?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dakleenupman:
Looks like as of yet, in the warehouse seems to be the only way as the site still does not show it as available.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] deserthi:
As of today, Feb 26, Costco still doesn't have the note on it's web page.

Why would anyone not use the half off at att above.

I just did the math. The plan at att for 400 min and 3 gig LTE plan works out to just about $80 a month for 2 years. The total cost for two years is about $2069 (including phone at half off $149).

If you get Straight Talk Plan (Unlimited phone, data, text) it $45 a month or $1080 for the two years. This leaves about $989 to buy any phone you want. Of course you don't get LTE with Straight Talk.

Galaxy Note on Amazon Wireless

Was able to purchase the Note on Amazon Wireless as an eligible upgrade for $250 w/o sales tax or S/H. Amazon also threw in a free all-in-one charger. Costco deal is likely $299 so despite the bundled package, the sales tax (based on a $400 purchase price minus the $100 instant discount) makes it relatively a less valuable deal than Amazon. Good luck!

Costco sale 16 Aug – 21 Aug 2012

Costco is running a deal on the Galaxy Note for $159.99 right now. Can't post a link yet, but you can just go to Costco's cell phone page at membershipwireless dot com and search for "galaxy note" and find it online.

They are also including a small accessory kit, which appears to include a case, screen protector(s), cleaning cloth, and auto charger. There is also a mail-in rebate for a "bonus battery charger." They are advertising both the carbon blue and ceramic white models.

According to a sign at my local Costco, the deal is good 16 August – 21 August.

That would explain why the price dropped so fast... come to think of it the S3 started at one heck of a low price. I wonder if they're moving towards a trend of lower subsidized prices.

i'm just running stock...but had the recent sense 3.0 update.

since then, i've noticed an issue with my people widget.

the widget itself has the right datat, but after some time, when i unlock my device and scroll to the widget...the people are still there, but the associated facebook/sms/email information isnt and its as if i've just placed the widget there in the first place.

it shouldnt do this should it?

Any ideas for troubleshooting? I've googled but didnt really find much out there....maybe not many people have this issue or even use the widget.

the widget itself is the view where it shows a picture and then next to it shows their most recent update (thats the part that refreshed not all the time, but most of the time when i unlock my decide and then scroll to that widget)

what gives?

the widget itself is version 3.0.2120373266,190558

its the 3rd type of that widget

I did some searching but finally found something that worked. CSDevCTRL, which I found in the market, can make long pressing the search button open your camera app. Just download, run the app, scroll down to long press search button ctrl and select quick camera. Now if you want this to be persistant after a reboot then scroll down to run CSDevCTRL at startup and click save changes. Now when you long press search, choose CSDevCTRL and use by default. That's it.
[Motorola Droid X2] Tomsgt:
You can also do this in CM7 under cm settings it will open camera and then you can take pictures with search button also.

I know that T-Mobile USA and Verizon already support IPv6 to some degree from this thread, T-Mobile has a beta on the Nexus phones.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1468127

But I don't see either of them or any other cell provider listed on the world ipv6 launch web site

http://www.worldipv6launch.org/

AT&T is listed, but it is only for their DSL network.

World IPv6 launch should be a pretty big deal since Google, Facebook, Yahoo, and Microsoft are all making their main websites IPv6 forever after that day ... June 6 of this year, ... Comcast and Time Warner Cabler are also playing ball.... but nobody from mobile is really stepping up.
[Networking] Ianis G. Vasilev:
Surely IPv6 is way more comfortable (Altrough the adresses are harder to remember), but it will take some time to migrate to IPv6 (It's already been 14 years are many websites are reachable through IPv6, I don't think that full migration will happen all of a sudden...)
[Networking] elgato99:
I dont think it is the number of websites that matter so much as it is that the largest websites that account for the majority of the internet traffic are going to now support ipv6
[Networking] QuantizedBoson:
DNS is still going to get you where you want to go without you having to remember an IPv6 address. Also, I think most of the IPv6 addresses are going to consist of zeros to begin with, which can be omitted.

People have started supporting IPv6, as has been done on most systems for years. Some people even have public IPv6 addresses, but all of them (to my knowledge) can still be reached using good old-fashioned IPv4 addresses.

As far as LAN's go, unless you are a massive company, with the inability to route between 2 Class C's, you will NEVER need to go to IPv6 on your LAN..
[Networking] zdeev:
Most ISPs already support IPv6. It's just the protocol, it does`nt necessarily change the addres of a website, depending on whether they bought it or not.

As far as my understanding goes it's more likely that the big websites will just hold on to their IPv4 IP adresses, no?
[Networking] balban:
this wont affect my situation
[Networking] cgollner:
There is already an IPv6 network in my university :cool:
[Networking] Chasbailey69:
Ipv6 is already being used, Microsoft supports the new industry standard. IPv6 is also designed to solve many of the problems of IPv4, including mobility, autoconfiguration, and overall extensibility.
[Networking] CodaHighland:
I'll have to admit, IPv4 has been even more tenacious than I imagined. Here it is, 2012, and we're still managing to get by, even with the population of the Internet being orders of magnitude larger than it was when IPv4 exhaustion was starting to be an issue.

I still think it's something that needs to be a priority, but I just worry about it because most home routers these days barely have enough RAM to store a usable IPv4 routing table. Heaven forbid you multiply the size of each entry. Firmware updates won't fix that.
[Networking] elgato99:
FYI -- T-Mobile USA finished their nationwide IPv6 deployment. Any Nexus S or Galaxy Nexus can connect http://www.extremetech.com/mobile/127213-ipv6-now-deployed-across-entire-t-mobile-us-network
[Networking] bublw:
additional costs for isp's providing no revenue at short perspective and exposing computers in lan to the risks of the internets
[Networking] Rakeesh_j:
It invariably will. For example instead of having an address like:

192.168.1.1

You'd have something like:

fc00:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334

However DNS can map to either IP. So say you pointed your browser to www.example.com, DNS could return both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, and your computer will pick the one it determines is best routable.
