I have been searching online and it appears the regular upgrade price is $199-00 from ATT and others with Costco being $10 cheaper and they include some accessories plus a favorable return policy.
Anyone know of any better deals out there?
I missed out on Fry's $60 ($90 with tax) deal.
The best deal I could find was $600 at AT&T.
I thought the upgrade price through att was $99.00. That is what I paid for it.
I got mine for $199.00 but two weeks later the black Friday price was $99.00. I got the $100.00 refund of course but I haven't seen it for $99.00 since then.

Good spot, well done. I find it unusual though that they charge you tax on the full retail amount bringing the total somewhere near $120. They also have a lousy 13 day return policy. Makes you wonder if the saving is really worth it.
Not worth it for me considering I would have to drive from Memphis to Duluth or Milton Georgia to partake of the offer.

Maybe it will help someone in the big white north or maybe the states has this promo to.
Best Buy HUP for $99+tax with a $25 gift card. I used the gift card on a case and invisableSHEILD screen protector.
I think it is a good deal.

This is in Canada so i don't know if its the same in the US. Just go into a Best Buy store and see if they got the promo. Plus they should be able to price match with others including carries plus 10% off.
HUP= Hardware Upgrade

It shows black, but its for the white. I just went to the Fry's in Duluth, GA and picked up 2. One for me and one for the wife. Way better than paying 200! Well worth the 16 hour round trip drive. All I have seen is the black model and never saw the white until yesterday, and I gotta say is, it is a sexy beast! Black looks good, but white looks better. Anyone in the Atlanta area goes to partake of the offer, they only have one more white left. The blacks are being sold at 130.

If you happen to work for AT&T they are offering a $199 discount for this phone if you are upgrading.
I picked mine up for $17 Canadian.
Hardware upgrade price was supposed to be either $99 or $149, I don't remember, but it rang up at $59.99 (at a Rogers store), and while I was signing the paperwork the woman told me 'Don't forget to log into your Rogers account to redeem the $50 mail-in rebate.' I thought it was too good to be true, but sure enough, when I got home, I logged in, and a few minutes later received an email stating that a $50 credit had been applied to my account.
So $10 for the phone, plus $7 (the taxes on $60).
Two days later, a friend picked one up and was charged $150. When she mentioned my deal, the guy at the store said 'Oh, that's not right. But there's nothing we can do about it now.'
Got mine for 99 and my upgrade was not but until march. I called cs and asked if icould get an early upgrade they talked to a supervisor and they offered it and the sgs 2 for 99. Never been happier.

I tried getting the local ATT store to price match and was again turned down. They told me to call retentions at ATT.
Got on the phone with them and they saw me right!!
Phone is on the way to me. I reckon I should see somewhat of a difference between it and my TP2!
Not sure if it's all the stores, but the tmobile kiosk in princeton nj has a buy 2 get 1 on all accessories. A ggod chance to get 3 flip covers for the price of 2.

All you have to do is, register your brand new spanking Note 2 or any Samsung device they send you coupon through email.
I did mine through
https://www.facebook.com/SamsungMobileUSA/app_314499095294546?app_data=registerDevice
You can use mine, I think it's still good till 11/23/2012. If it doesn't work just register.

P. S. There is tax on purchase but still cheaper than retail store.

Thanks! Used this one and will post another when I get one
I did the math and this is less expensive option than getting a protection plan through T-Mobile or other carriers.
At $7.99/month, that's 95.88 for 1 year and that's not including the deductible.
The Squaretrade warranty is $125 for 1 year without the discount (which would make it less expensive so I WANTS A CODE!!!)
30% off $125 is a total of $87.50 and the deductible is $90.
WE NEED MORE CODES!!
Codes usually come email on Tuesdays.

I keep wavering on whether to pull the trigger on this or not, but with all of the glass on our phones, I'm paranoid as hell.
If we paid the typical $500 - $600 for the phone, off contract, it is probably a no-brainer, but at $299 (8GB model), it's tough to justify.
Today's deal is a max $30 off, for a 2=year warranty, making it $95. Add in the $99 deductible, and you're at a total cost of $194. $299 - $194 = $105 worth of "risk".
In other words, I have to pay $194 to save $105, IF I break my phone. Just don't know if that is worth it.
I thought it was cheaper than that. Given the life cycle of these phones and the chance that they actually break, its not justifiable especially if Google is going to keep this price format. A new nexus every year. Selling previous nexus on flea bay, let's say $150 making sure to take special care of the your nexus and buy a new nexus yearly for around $200.

Unless you bought a 16GB then its and $160. Also as far as I know the $99 deductible includes shipping. Not much more money but it may factor in for some people.

After looking around and trying to find a good warranty option the best I could find I think is from square trade. However, I was wondering if anyone had any more in depth experience. With all the issues about devices bricking and what not I started looking around. I really can't afford another $600 device but $100 for a warranty isn't such a big deal. Any advice?
I agree. Seeing as how the phone's parts are barely user replaceable, I definitely needed an insurance plan. So I did some looking around, and found that the Geek Squad protection from Best Buy worked the best for me.
Best Buy (Geek Squad) - $169.99 up-front for two years OR $9.99 per month (if the device nees to gets replaced, the $169.99 plan has to be renewed/you pay another $169.99)
Sprint TEP - $11 per month, $150 deductible. Premium is $9 per month
SquareTrade - $125 for two years (less if you find coupon, $99 deductible

You can also pick up a squaretrade warranty on amazon for 99 bucks with the 99 deductible. Plus all my experiences with geeksquad has been pretty bad based on my Xbox problems
I had my One for a couple months and no insurance. Can I still pick up an insurance plan through sprint or geek squad with my 60+ days old phone??
No issues with phone, just regret no plan purchase since i love this phone so much.
Best buy still make you wait weeks for a replacement refurbished?

If Best Buy has refurbished in stock it is supposed to be there within like 3 days. I got my new phone on July 2nd and it had a horrible accident on July 5th (fell as I slammed the car door and bent in half and still worked). Went to best buy and they ordered a replacement which being so new was not in stock. Said they would attempt to get a replacement for 14 days and if they couldn't I would get a brand new one from the store. They called me on the 17th (12 days) to let me know that a new store replacement was approved. You can also get a loaner from them while waiting for a refundable deposit.

Best deal I have seen in the US for the Gear. I got mine for $99 in Canada, but I also have to pay GSTs and shipping to the US.
@nviz22, keep in mind the one you got is brand new, while this one is refurbished. Though since its BB Geek Squad, these refurb'd units are most likely just customer returns.

All should know too that many times "refurbished" only means it was returned to the store without anything wrong with it. They cannot then sell it as "new", so they have to call the item refurbished. In the case of the Gear, where we heard it had a high return rate late last year, I would take advantage of an offer like this if you see it come up again.

Yeah, that's fine, but I am just saying that's been the best deal for the Gear in the US so far from what I have seen. It's a good value purchase at $130 anyways. For $300, the original price, not worth it. I chose the Gear 1 for the functionality and price. The Gear 2 only has a heart rate sensor and IR Blaster, which cannot vouch for a $200 price difference.
Pricing update FYI
Just thought I would post for those that are interested.
Amazon has the original Gear for 120.33 they are listed as used but they are being shown as Amazon Warehouse inventory which very often are customer returns. Free two day shipping if you are a prime member as well. Also eligible for standard return and refund policies from Amazon. Also this is for Jet Black.

Just picked one up today from Best Buy's eBay site. $89 - $20 eBay loyalty coupon that splashed on the screen.
Could not pass up for $69.
Probably will sell it the instant the Moto watch comes out, but for now, it's a cheap toy!
