I agree with you, of course I would love it yesterday, or today, or even tomorrow, but at the price Negri is selling it for, i can wait a week or two. General public can be crazy sometimes.

Just tried the code and it wouldn't work. Seems like the $20 off deal may have expired.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] diablokicks:
They cancelled the code, it was only supposed to be used once by one person, its in this thread like 2 pages back.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] brojoe11:
Thanks. I've been following this all day but I guess I missed that post. Thanks for the info.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] diablokicks:
This is what they posted:

This coupon has been suspend due to abuse. The coupon in question was to be used by a single user and not shared - as part of our campaign for September. Due to this abuse the coupon has been suspended indefinitely. If the coupon was applied to your order we will accept it, but since it's suspension it can not longer be applied to new orders.

Thank you for your cooperation.

The only reason why I won't buy a phone from CL is because my buddy got burnt twice with bad IMEIs. And they went bad after buying them.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Techngro:
The pic on their site is a T-Mobile branded Note 3. I find it very hard to believe that a T-Mobile phone would not have the appropriate bands for T-Mobile LTE. It's probably that they haven't even received the phone yet, so they can't list the exact bands (even though, honestly, they could probably just call up T-Mobile or Samsung and ask.)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Techngro:
Yeah, my last 5 phones were bought off Craigslist, but no more. Just way too many scams going on. And [MENTION=4321413]Kawaisa[/MENTION] is right, a lot of them involved a straight up purchase where the phone worked fine at the time of purchase, but a week or two later and the phone was reported stolen and locked by the original owner. The original owner gets a replacement phone via insurance, plus the money from the sale, and the purchaser is @#$%ed and has absolutely no recourse. You still have a device, but it's basically just a small tablet now, cause it can't connect to any networks except wifi.

I hate scammers.

Yeah, it seems like that coupon is good for $10 off a purchase of $300 or more. Still, it's better than nothing, and you're still saving a good $80 or so over T-Mobile's price. Now if Negri could only get these things out the door.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hoangtung619:
Lol my bad
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] diablokicks:
If it was 10% i would have cancelled my order and re-ordered. Would have been a sweet deal.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ramirez3805:
Hopefully that's not the case, since it's a new device and all, and he was selling like 15 of them...... hmmmm
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Vandam500:
I bought one from CL too for $525. Unlocked it and using it for AT&T now. Hopefully nothing happens but if the owner reports it stolen will it affect me since I'm on AT&T? Not sure if IMEI's are shared from T-Mobile to AT&T or vice versa.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Techngro:
A couple of years ago, even last year, you might have been fine. But now, all of the carriers share a database of IMEI numbers. So if it's blocked on T-Mobile, it will be blocked on all US GSM carriers, generally (I think this includes the MVNO carriers as well). I don't know if Canadian carriers are a part of that, so if something did happen, you might be able to sell it to a Canadian to recoup some of your money, but i'm not sure.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Vandam500:
Ah wow, I didn't know that. Hope all goes well with this purchase as it was so cheap. If not, I'll just have to sell it international style and buy another one (Store this time) since its sim unlocked.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] lanwarrior:
The problem with buying from grey market is that if something is wrong with the phone, you're toast.

Bought a Note a while back from Amazon. Broke after 2 weeks. Samsung USA will not fix it. Samsung U.K. (the origin of the phone) won't fix it.

Luckily I was within Amazon refund period. Returned and bought AT&T version.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sharl1987:
well, they did have the black one, and they shipped lots of them, that's why I am worried.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] NYCguy2020:
Swappa, my friend. Look at the top middle of the page.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] lanwarrior:
Is Swappa safer like Amazon Seller? I avoid eBay because there are so many scam.

I.e. Phone did, then buyer file a charge back, saying item was not received, broken, etc. PayPal WILL side with the buyer.

I never had this problem with Amazon Seller though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] les_garten:
Can you see just one thing on Amazon? It looks like it's for businesses. Need a Company Name and a Tax ID.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] systoxity:
on ebay it's simple, whenever you ship always ALWAYS request signature. That one simple detail will protect you from buyer abuse. You can also insure it for piece of mind. Don't forget though that ebay will take ~10% of your earnings which is pretty much bullshiz for high ticket items like phones. Swappa is probably better since its mostly us nerds on there. Code of honor and what not.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sk8ordie0:
Wow this thread got sidetracked very quickly LOL!..............

rooted,recovered,and rebooted from the ol' i777.......
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Techngro:
No, my friend. EBay is really not that simple. No matter how much you try to protect yourself, Ebay will side with the buyer and you will get screwed if there is any conflict. I speak from experience.

I sold an Xbox 360 during Christmas 2011. Shipped with insurance. Communicated with seller who said they were buying a gift for their son. They even asked me to ship express when they didn't pay the extra price because they wanted to make sure that they received it in time. They received it. Signed for it around December 20. Around January 5th, they contacted me and. Claimed that it arrived broken. I was like WTF. How could you claim that it was broken two weeks later? Did he not turn it on on December 25?

Anyway, I went through eBay resolution process, which consisted of ignoring all of my emails and responding with form messages. They withdrew the money from my PayPal account. The buyer sent me the Xbox without even packing it properly. There was nothing wrong with it. I played it for months after. The buyer just decided they didn't want it anymore, so they lied.

Anyway. Beware of eBay and PayPal.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] lanwarrior:
I am an Amazon Seller and I do not need to proceed tax ID, EXCEPT if you sell more than 50 items pretty year.

I don't want to seek high ticket item in Amazon anymore because their fee is getting higher.

Agreed on all point. I got scammed twice already, similar with the above.

The problem now odd that eBay side with the BUYER, no questions asked.

Same with me, was gonna buy with them but couldnt wait as they will have them in stock on the 10th and start shipping them on the 11th. Just bought one off swappa.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Techngro:
If you don't mind me asking, did you get a decent deal? When I checked Swappa, the prices weren't that compelling.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] barondebxl:
710$, im cool with that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Techngro:
Yeah, you save some tax.

Now all I need is a decent case before mine arrives. Think i'm gonna do a bumper. Don't want to hide the sweet design.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] barondebxl:
When is yours arriving? Mine tuesday or wednesday. I'm not sure i wanna do a case though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] systoxity:
That's just rubbing salt in the wound...! :eek:

lol we don't know. Next announced date for when it might ship is the 10th-ish.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] CalcProgrammer1:
Just placed my order using the $10 off intro coupon. Total cost $679.50 with free shipping option. T-Mo was going to charge $740 + tax so I think this is still a win. I don't really need it ASAP since I'm going to want to flash an AOSP ROM so I don't mind waiting if it means cheaper.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Techngro:
Yeah, like [MENTION=1364881]systoxity[/MENTION] said, we're paying a price for our savings. I suspect that they will have them early this week, and will start shipping them out by the middle of the week. They have to open them and unlock them before they can ship.

I think the T-Mobile version comes to about $775 if you buy in store. I don't know how Negri got the great price that they did, since to my knowledge they are buying directly from T-Mobile. Maybe that's what's causing the delay. Maybe T-Mobile was like, F this, we can make more money by selling it ourselves. :)

As for AOSP, I think this is the first Android phone that I will buy that I probably won't even install a custom ROM. I'm still gonna root it, and might try a couple of ROMs, but because of the extra features that Samsung's TW brings (I really like multiview, smart scroll, etc.), I might just throw a launcher on top and go.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sk8ordie0:
Yes,yes....... I'm ready for some tweaked Sammy builds and some aosp builds......... I get bored eventually...... dual boot kernel would be fabulous........:)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] polx:
yeah when i get mine i'll root it. but i wont install any roms except for a custom rom thats stock that excludes all the bloat. that would make it so much faster and extend its monster battery even more. i think touchwiz is a bit laggy so i'd install a launcher too, like nova pro.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] barondebxl:
You mean from negrielectronics? I chatted with them yesterday before i bought mine on swappa, they said that they are expecting to have them in stock Oct 10 and ship it the next day thats why i didnt preorder with them, didnt wanna wait till the weekend or maybe next monday to have the device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] systoxity:
yes : (
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shin lucifer:
I got mine in FL on my way back to NY. If you know some one on T-mobile, and have there number. All you have to do is give that number when purchasing the phone. The price should be $710+Tax. That's what i paid.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Techngro:
Yeah, I just found out about Xposed Framework. Looks like a great way to add all of the functionality that I normally get with custom ROMs to the stock TouchWiz ROM. That way I can keep all of the productivity tools that Samsung is good (no, great) at, and still have theming and tweaking options out the wazoo. :)

I know it's a pain to wait. And you're right, I am probably being optimistic. But like I said, I saved over $100 and for me, that's pretty big. I haven't even found a decent case that I like yet. I'd like to have the case before the phone arrives, and get a warranty as well (think i'm gonna go with SquareTrade).

I bet if I called up Suze Orman and told her that I delayed my gratification to save $100, she would be very pleased. And so am I. LOL.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aalupatti:
From an email response
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Techngro:
Yeah, I checked them out. I never uses cases on my phones, so i'm looking for something like a bumper case, rather than something that is gonna add bulk to the phone. I am looking at this case because it's very slim and also includes a lanyard hole, which will make it much less likely that it will hit the ground if it slips out of my hand. http://goo.gl/VqRbO2

Well, 10/10 is literally 3 days away (2 since today is almost over). I can wait a couple more days. But boy, watching all those Youtube videos of people playing with their Notes is making me crazy. I'm gonna order my case tomorrow so it will be here by the time the phone arrives.

It's pretty awesome that they've gone back to the old design + improved it with the grip. I hated the dot-dash design on the note 2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] polx:
the only prob with this case is that it doesnt extend a bit over the front of the phone to protect the front.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sk8ordie0:
Front edge is slightly exposed on top and bottom but not the sides...... I want a TPA android green one but can't find one... They have one for the note2 ... I'm pretty safe with my phones but that big screen won't be as durable as my S2's screen for sure......

They can't do that..... I have a amazon agreement since September 23rd for 690.50 ........ That's the purpose of the preorder to lock in customers at a certain rate and get the business....... Now since its changed is a good thing for the ones that preordered meaning that they must be about to stock and ship shortly and don't have to offer the low price to get the business of other TMO note3 junkies!

1.4	PRE-ORDER/BACK ORDER ITEMS:

1.4.1	If an item is not yet released, you will see a Pre-order, Backorder or Order On Request icon next to the item. Even though this item is not in stock, you are able to add the item to your cart and complete your order.

1.4.2	As always, your card will not be charged unless the item is in stock or is shipping same- or next-day.

1.4.3	Generally the pre-order price is accurate; however, on occasion it will be higher than the actual price you will pay once the item is shipped. When the actual price is determined, your card will be charged and the amount paid in excess of the sale price will be refunded to your card or other method of payment. This occurs because we attempt to be conservative with our forecasted price in order to avoid the need to recharge a credit card and delay the order. Since we do not save your credit card information, automatically recharging your card is not an option.

1.4.4	On rare occasions, the pre-order price will be less than the actual sale price when the item is in stock. If the final selling price is higher than the pre-order price, the difference in amount will be due prior to shipping. We will send a payment request for the balance due so that your item can ship as soon as possible.

1.4.5	If you see a tag of "Coming Soon" and/or a price of $.99 or less, this denotes the pre-order price for an item where a final price has not been determined. In this case, you can reserve your device with a pre-order and owe the balance due prior to shipping. When a final price is determined, you can choose to pay the balance or request a refund for the amount you've been charged.

1.4.6	You are able to cancel pre-orders up to five (5) days prior to the item being released.

1.4.7	We recommend, and it is very important, that the card you use will be able to be charged when the order becomes available. If we are unable to charge the card when the item is available for processing, we will not be able to ship your order and you will lose your position in the pre-order order queue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dawheat:
They've posted in the Q&A forum that:

- they'll honor the pre-order price

- some orders are already shipping - if you have a tracking number, you're one of the lucky ones

- price is higher for all new orders

Its 710 + tax at the store. All you need to do is give them the number of some one who is on T mobile/customer at checkout. I used my friends and the price went from 740 to 710 +tax. I got mine in FL.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hoangtung619:
" yes we will honor the original price" - i just chat with their customer service, he said we will have to pay $730 + no tax as an original price. In my opinion, the price still good for me compared to the price in Tmobile store $708 + tax (San Jose tax about $62) + TMO prepaid plan, if you guys know about $30 prepaid plan from TMO, you can do that too and wait about 40 days to request unlock from them.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] diablokicks:
What you said contradicts it's self. The original price was not 730. That would be a bait and switch but worse. If you are preordered you have nothing to worry about.
