Are you saying there is an extra $200 discount, even if you qualify for Upgrade price of $299?

Or is that $200 off the full retail price?

So if I order through them I let you know my order number and your friend can get an extra rebate for me? I'm a little confused.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] twe90kid:
I'll wait til it's rooted and flashable before getting one.

any news on 32/64 gb version?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dutchman71:
Not showing up on the Sprint website yet...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] piscesjoey:
Yo Viper is Vinchenzo getting the GNote 2 also?

I would assume that it will be rooted quick, but I would get it right away man, phone is still excellent even on stock.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] meccadon123:
i agree...get it now...still not on sprints website or best buy....as far as getting it now..best buys website shows T-mo's GNote II as back ordered already...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cincyelite22:
Im really surprised Sprint is doing it this way.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] meccadon123:
i was thinking the same thing...announcing today as the release day and sprint reps and best buy reps saying "i don't know" up until the day before the launch..ok..no pre-order is 1 thing..but leaving customers to have to guess as to where they are going to pick it up is pretty sad...and here it is the morning of the "launch" and it still isn't on the website...t-mo's was up at around 3:30 am EST...I wonder if that thing i heard about them having to reach a certain number of iphone sales is true...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrush:
This is quite angering... no sight of the note 2 at best buy or on their site. Guess I should wait two hours til the store opens and sees what's up. Went to bestbuy mobile last night and they were clueless.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -viperboy-:
Well, he said he would look at it. But he isn't as crazy about it as I am.

I'm starting the process of getting the Note 2 now. About to take a 1+ hour drive to go pick one up!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] piscesjoey:
Well count me out for the Note 2, Sprint isn't offering it to its employees or Wireless Advantage Club members at this time so I'm getting a GS3 instead cuz I had until Sunday to get this GNex returned before my 14 days was up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Luca_Blight:
I just called sprint they are selling the note 2 over the phone not sure why they're not online yet I'm so impatient I'm just going to head to the store since they open in 50 mins hope they have some in stock lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cincyelite22:
Sprint is up for order through telesales just now. 800-777-4681. It is not on their site yet though, but you can call.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] smark72:
They said they have them at my local corporate store. I am waiting outside for them to open at 9am. From the places I called yesterday, seems like the corporate locations are going to be the only ones having them today. I may be wrong.

It's very strange to me how they go about releasing these phones. They don't seem to advertise much before hand, and not telling customers where it will be available for purchase is weird.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dutchman71:
Just ordered mine through our Sprint dedicated care rep for our company. Hopefully it will arrive tomorrow.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jt513:
Odd question but if anyone sees a sale on them, please post it as some places match prices.

I picked up a Galaxy 2 on launch day around $50 off from asking a local store to matching an online price.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] 1BadHEMI:

So with all the international talk about display problems, How does it look to you????
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] RichardLSX:
So, does it ship with the multi task feature? There was a thread last night about the note 2, (I think) that said the US version didn't have that option? But, now I can't find that thread.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -viperboy-:
Hmm, that is odd. I long pressed back and the multiwindow doesn't activate... Didn't see a setting for it, but I'm still paying with it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jed Dignazio:
Hows the display look to you?, honestly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] threestripebrand:
It'll probably have to be an ota to add this feature just like rest of the sgn2's.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] The G.O.A.T.:
Thanks for the update! I was about to purchase one, now I have to step back. Anyone have an idea on a version that has a sim slot plus will work on the sprint LTE network?

Thanks again!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] imon22s:
the 299 is the 16 gig model
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] RichardLSX:
I don't think that'll be available, Sprint uses CDMA, SIM card is GSM. At least, if i'm not mistaken.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jed Dignazio:
Does that mean it comes with a 64GB installed??? I wish..

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] donniegood:
What is that little clock?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] piscesjoey:

Anybody know if the bootloader is locked on this device on Sprint?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dc13:
we are working on things but it looks like samsung/sprint did an update since the leaked stuff sextape got.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] benchsitter21:
Not sure if this means anything but there is a section on my note that asks for preferred network mode and GSM/UMTS is an option and it also has a option to include international data roaming.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -viperboy-:
Yes, it's a newer build. Which is why I didn't bother with making my ROM yet ;) will wait for the tar, building on system dumps aren't my thing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] benchsitter21:
and FYI this thing is HUGE! I am coming from an S2 on Sprint and EVO 1 before that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Azptyanimal:
Unfortunately, even though Verizon and sprint are CDMA, I think sprint requires a sprint issued esn #, specific to each phone. And although the Verizon lte card is removable, sprint wouldn't be able to activate it in their system due to the esn conflict?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] benchsitter21:
how did you do the screen grab then draw on it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] theboz1419:
called all the sprint stores around me, not a single note 2 in stock most said, next week. One store said that if I order it, I could get it Friday, which does not make much sense as their stock won't be there until Monday.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bullet2300:
First time note user here.. and I am in love. But wow is this thing tricky, is multiview not on our phones yet?

I almost could cry tears of joy... what a beautiful device. Coming from GS2, I could not be happier. It even fits my pockets much better (doesn't slide horizontally since its larger haha).

Nevermind - I see on Sprint forums others are saying its not in yet. Hopefully soon!

Oh wow, we got our own Sprint forum now yay... I think I am running on low sleep.. was too excited for this phone. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] meccadon123:
just got back from the sprint store on kirkwood hwy in newark/wilmington DE...i got there at 12:30 and got the 2nd to last one(the guy behind me got the last 1 so they are sold out)..they only had 10...all their accessories are full price so i'll be using that samsung mobile code for 50% off...by the way..i got a look at the "folding book cover" type case..it actually pops on like the back of the phone(you have to take the back off and it pops on in its place)...yuck...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] somnifac:
Just picked mine up. Called 17 stores before I found a grey one... It literally was on the last store on my list. A couple Sprint run stores had a white one or two, no partner stores had any, and just the one grey was turned up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] someone0:
We had this discussion in other thread, Sprint GN2 have both GSM and CDMA chip in it, and Sprint announced that it is nternatioal capable. And we did suspect it not to have SIM slot dued to leaked image posted by sextape. So, you can still use it internationally but ou have to pay Sprint for roaming instead of using local SIM card.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jt513:
For Cincinnati, only Sprint Corp store in Kenwood received them. All the Best Buys and licensed Sprint stores has not received them as of today. I also have not seen it on Amazon, Wirefly or Best Buy's website.

called my bestbuy and corp store, bb says they never heard it it, called again they said only tmobile has it and they dont sell tmobile, called a third time guy said they dont have them yet check the corp store, corp store said they have 20 or so ugh i want bb to sell it i have that phone freedom thing for the gift card there

Sprint in Fairfield had at least 2 :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zoidpilot:
I called the Sprint down the block from me and they had 10 come in this morning, more to come supposedly tomorrow. Its funny the corporate store I called afterwards (assuming they would still have some) the rep said it hasn't launched and wasnt available in any store until tomorrow. Best buy says the same...

Guys you have to get one, this is awesome!
[Trophy Accessories] pizzaboy192:
I know I'm joining the Trophy party a little late (I'm getting mine after a friend upgrades to a WP8 device), but I've been browsing the internet and have seen so many interesting cases and other items for the Trophy, but I am wary about buying a case that isn't listed for the Verizon variant.

Are the two versions (Spark and Spark_W) identical physically? Will a Spark case work on the Spark_W?

Also, I've heard rumors that the slightly larger HTC TouchPro 2\Imagio\Evo 4G battery will fit the Trophy. Is this true? (Can one of the aftermarket Anker batteries also fit?)

Thanks.

EDIT: Discovered there is a major difference between the GSM and CDMA Trophy. Volume and power buttons are switched on the devices. Have to make sure that the cases are for the CDMA one if you're on Verizon.
[Trophy Accessories] TheXev:
Wah wah? As far as the case, both devices are physically the same. Every picture I have seen of the two phones shows the volume/camera/power buttons in identical locations. Just looking at the two side-by-side, I'm sure that there is no difference, so any case you buy should fit either (I recommend a Casemate personally.. I have the original version of the Casemate case and it has been awesome.. except for the little stand thingy).

Now, as far as batteries go, I have never observed a difference in the standard battery sizes between my HTC Eris/Trophy/Touch Pro 2, all the batteries fit perfectly, mind that they are of the standard capacity. I recently ordered the "Fosmon 2200mAh Extended Lithium-ion Battery w/ Cover for HTC 7 Trophy T8686" and am going to see if this fits and works well with the SparkW.

The differences between the Spark and SparkW are all in the hardware. I wanted to obtain a Spark for development, but now see no point (as I got an HTC Pro 7 [on Alltel] and you really REALLY have no choice but to downgrade bootloader's with anything but GoldCard method) as the perfect rom already exist for the device.

Are you planning on running Trophy on Verizon, or another carrier with unlocked sim card? This is where we see people go wrong, as most can't get HSPA+ data working with the VZW Trophy and another carrier.
[Trophy Accessories] pizzaboy192:
I went to the Microsoft Store and typed in HTC Trophy into the search, and it came up with 2 kinds of case. One is listed as HTC Tophy (base) by Incipio, and the other is listed as just HTC Trophy by incipio (That's the brand of case that I purchased)

Looking at them, the volume and power buttons are on opposite sides. I had to go to Verizon's Site to find which layout I needed (I needed the one with the large cutout in the back, not the small cutout for just camera and speaker)

Compare http://www.microsoftstore.com/store...-HTC-Trophy-Base/productID.247343200/vip.true

to http://www.microsoftstore.com/store...e-for-HTC-Trophy/productID.247343500/vip.true

and you'll see what I mean. Headphone and power buttons are switched.

As for what carrier I will be using it on, I do plan on using it on Verizon. I have the grandfatered unlimited data plan and plan to cling to it for as long as possible. This means getting a WP7 device now, and a WP8 device when they are reasonable off contract.

My mother is still using her Touch Pro 2, so I plan to check battery sizes when I am home next to see how much bigger the TP2 battery is compared to the Trophy. I know it's only 200MAH, but that's still something. Plus, an Anker 1700mAH battery is designed to fit without a different battery cover in a TP2, so I would assume it would fit without an extended battery cover on a Trophy. And since my mother needs a new battery on her Touch Pro 2, I might as well get the 2 pack.
[Trophy Accessories] TheXev:
Ah, I see, so it has to do with the stupid pictures on Microsoft's site that has lead to your confusion. Well, those case pics are wrong: Here is a picture/review of the GSM Trophy, and you can see it is very much the same outside, camera included.

I grabbed my Trophy in the last month before the end of unlimited data, so I understand wanting to keep it (I will be looking to buy a WP8 at full price as well). I'd love to try a 1700mAh battery, but I'm pretty sure the original Verizon battery is only rated at 1250mAh-1300mAh, so 1700mAh is a much bigger upgrade then you realize (the phone doesn't get that great of battery life, even with good reception and mild use). I'll be trying out the 2200mAh over-sized battery with replacement backing to see how it works (it was cheap, can't complain), so I'll be interested to hear what your results are with the 1700mAh battery.
[Trophy Accessories] pizzaboy192:
This is what I"m looking at. http://www.amazon.com/1700mAh-Batte...urpose/dp/B0050MUSLY/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

They say that it's a drop in replacement for an Evo 4G\Touch Pro 2\Whatever, and so I would assume that it's like the MugenPower 1800mAh that does the same thing for the Trophy.

I'm planning on buying it when I get the phone, and if it doesn't fit, I have 2 batteries for my mother's Touch Pro 2 to last her until she shears the display off or crushes it with her car again.

EDIT: canceled my order w\ Microsoft before it shipped. Going to look at the cases for a bit longer than 3 minutes and see if I can find out which one is the real one. I'd rather get the one with the small cutouts, but I doubt that is actually for the Trophy. I could buy it and see if it arrives and fits my phone. I'm seriously thinking that it probably is designed for the HTC Radar instead (looks rather similar to my GF's Radar case) and the wrong picture was posted.

(Just checked it against the Radar page on HTC, and the one that is listed as "base" is for the Radar) Going to probably order the other case soon so that I have one before they disappear.
[Trophy Accessories] TheXev:
Okay, so I got the 2200 unofficial battery, and it REALLY should only be used on Spark. See, there is one TINY difference in the battery cover, and it is a small clip in the upper right of the phone! On Spark is must be vertically, but on SparkW it is on horizontal! I didn't realize this and forced the cover on and it made a bit of a divot in the phone... since this is my frank-n-Trophy, I'm not considered (but impressed that the new back held up, didn't break.. and even broke the phone's case lol). I'll charge the battery and give it my "at work" torture test tonight.

Now, what I WISH I had seen was this: Official OEM HTC Trophy extended battery. It's rated at 2150mAh (so basically the same)... cost be damned its an official part, and this one is for the Verizon Trophy. Maybe I'll get one of these for my original Trophy.

I am digging the added weight. The phone finally feels as heavy as I wish it had (yeah, I'm a weirdo, I don't like light phones).
[Trophy Accessories] pizzaboy192:
Care to post a picture of the two backs side-by-side so I can see what you mean about the cilp?

Let me know how the extended battery performs. I know where to get just the official back for the extended battery pretty cheap (I hope) and may get the pair to try and save some money. Unless the Spark back still works fine.

And what do you mean by "frank-n-trophy"? Storage upgrade mod?
