Nexus 7 8 GB version now?

Trying to find any news on the 8 gig Nexus 7 pricing. Staples still has it listed as 199. Anyone know or have confirmation if the price has dropped?

I believe that it's been discontinued, but we should be able to find remaining stock -- heavily marked down -- in stores and online. The 8gb version does not appear on Play.Google.com or on Walmart.com. I would think that the 8gb versions, while they last, should be marked about $150.00, but...

I don't think the 8GB version was sold in retail stores.

It is/was. Staples near me still has some in stock but they are 199.99

I sold my 8GB yesterday for $175. Barely ahead of today's announcements. I paid $150 with magnetic case for it on Craig's List. Putting it aside for the Nexus 10. N7 was too small for my eyesight to read comfortably. So I guess my suggestion would be to also check out alternate sources as I did.

It originally wasn't supposed to be sold in stores because going the retail route on the 8gb would end up costing them money since the unit was sold so cheap. The 8gb started showing up when the 16gb models couldn't stay stocked, which was a last ditch effort from Google/Asus to keep the supply flowing.
So there ARE 8gb models in the wild and ARE discontinued. I would think that Staples and a select other few would have them discounted. Walmart only had 16gb when I went there last. Craigslist and other 2nd hand sites are likely to be experiencing a rush of 8gb and 16gb models because they are trading for the 32gb.

8GB should be 150$

I'm sad that the 8GB model has been discontinued.. I just bought it the first of this month back when none of this news wasn't around..
I don't wanna go through the process of selling this and getting the 16gb.

Pretty much an empty channel
Every place I checked was sold out of the 8GB units over a month ago, and it was even difficult to track down unopened 16GB models. Everyone in the distribution chain knew about the product shuffling.
The ones you are likely to find now are customer returns, and there will be few that fall within the common 14 or 30 day return window.

Have the screen separation issues been completely resolved? I have a launch 8gb that I want to get replaced. I'm not trying to get a 16gb out of this and I'm hoping if I go through the process now, they won't give me hassle, accusing me of trying to upgrade.

just actually posted my Nex 7 8gb on Craigslist yesterday. we don't use it since we have the ipad.
listing at $150 but taking $125 if i get it. Hate losing $75 so quickly, but that's tech. look on craigslist.

I doubt they'll sell it cheaper for now. Probably keep it for 199 until supplies settle down and when they only have a few, then probably sell them off on clearance.
People are still idiots with this stuff. If they advertise it for 199 people will come in and buy the 8gb probably without looking. Kinda dishonest but companies always do this crap.

I got an 8GB a while back. I don't really need much more storage than that. The music goes on the phone and I hardly keep big games on it.

As a staples employee I can tell you we have stopped selling the 8Gb model. A week before the price drop it went inactive for us.

So... who ordered one? What phone are you coming from?

Just a general discussion to get this going.
Got my HTC One M8 ordered. Coming from the Evo 4G LTE. I had an upgrade and was waiting for this phone to release.

Was about to until i noticed only Machine Gun Metal color was only available. I think i want gold.

I think it will be a few weeks until the colors get to sprint. Maybe around the April 11th time frame. The gun metal color is awesome IMO. The amber gold looks flat.

I'm getting it - but I'm wanting the silver color (like the OG One.) and Sprint charging $250 on upgrade is kind of ridiculous. I'll be getting mine likely at BestBuy or Radioshack in the next two weeks or so.
EDIT: Verizon's $199 on upgrade AND they have a bogo deal at the moment. Sprint's slapping us in the face.

The wife, little sister, and I all got our EVO 4G LTE around the same time and we're all due for an upgrade. The wife wants the gold one (or the rumored red one) but Best Buy's gold phone page seems to be down at the moment. There seemed to be some incentives last time around ($50 or $100 extra off through some promotions) but I don't see any of that now.
Really wanting the phone but I'd like to see what the big box retailers are gonna give with it.

I ordered one from Sprint, because Im on a business plan, Best Buy and Amazon can not offer me a discount, so I was forced to pay the $250. Nice thing is the are doing free shipping and waiving the activation fee at least.
Im coming from an Evo LTE

You sure they're waiving the activation fee? I did not have my upgrade waived.

Online it was $249.99 for an upgrade, but when I called in to Sprint Telesales (1-888-882-4030) there was an additional $50 mail-in rebate bringing it down to $199.99. They charge a shipping and activation fee bringing it back up to $247.99, but I was able to get a manager to price match the free shipping on the website to bring it back down to $235.99. All in all, between all the attempted upsells for TEP, screen protectors, cases, Samsung Galaxy Tabs, Sprint Buy Back, adding another line, etc, the manager intervention, and having to listen to the full terms and conditions the phone ordering process took 30 minutes (not including time on hold, which was minimal). I also let them talk me into an Otterbox (but I can return that to my local Sprint store if I don't like it).
If the website was waiving the activation fee it would've almost been a wash.

Yeah, I got my activation fee waived. It might be because I am on a corporation business account.

Still want the amber gold? lol

I think I'll be ordering mine pretty soon. I've been on the gs3 for a while and I think it's time to give HTC another run

I was really hoping the light silver was available on Sprint...Looks like just Gunmetal and Gold Amber will be available.

UPS says thursday! I say it's not fast enough!
I ordered mine around 12:30 when the listing first appeared on Sprint's website. Only gunmetal 32gb was available.
A few minutes prior to this post I got the shipping confirmation. I should have it by end of business on Thursday.
I'm upgrading from my M7, which I got via a third party. If I were staying true to my upgrade cycle, I'd technically be upgrading from the Evo 4G LTE.
I'm counting on this community on getting me a root method before the end of the weekend. Comon ladies and gents... don't let me down!

I'm ordering mine right now gotta decide if I'm going to sell the N5 and moto x I have

Edge 64GB Pre-Order Delays?

I pre-ordered at my local BB at 10am on the 27th. Went into the store this morning despite not receiving an email to check on it. They informed me that all of the AT&T shipments were late compared to the other carriers and that they had no stock of the 64's yet. I called the three closest AT&T stores around me and the answer was the same -- 32 are in stock, but nobody has any 64.
Anybody else have a similar experience? Has anyone been able to pick up their 64 today?

I plan on doing this in a hour. Pacific time .
If they don't have my 64GB white for ATT that I preordered 3-31, I'll go to the ATT which is in the same parking lot lol.
If ATT doesn't have it, I'll just have to opt for a 128GB of that's available. If neither are available I'll settle for a 32GB....

Nobody had the 128s where I checked as well, but phone shipments certainly aren't equally distributed. If you live in a more suburban area than I do you're likely to have better luck.

Checked all the ATT in the area and none have the 64GB edge , but they do have the regular S6 in 64. Going to opt for the regular most likely...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using XDA Free mobile app

oh boy I sense ATT getting heat if all the Platinum/Gold Pre-Orders that were said to be shipped out around the 24th which are now being shipped recieve there Edge before all the black ones who were promiced by the 10th. Kind of glad I ordered the platinum Gold one.

I can add to the BS.
Aside from the shipment being late at my BB, their system couldn't do my trade-in/up on my old iPhone, it wouldn't accept the SKU. So eventually they call up AT&T, no go. I call AT&T and they proceed to tell me that Best Buy does not have the capability to do a trade-in.
That's right, AT&T claimed that Best Buy cannot do a @#$% trade-in.
So I fought with them some more, and they had me do the pay-up over the phone with them. Still, the sale wouldn't work. They call AT&T again, AT&T says "oh if you do trade-in it can take 24 hours for it to process".
Because, you know, NO ONE ever walks into a store to trade-in their phone and walk out with a new one.
Sensing some BS, I call them again. They then proceed to tell ME that, oh no, the payment processed just fine, it's that BEST BUY has a bad system but hey if you place your order with me and give me the sale I can do it right now and put it in the mail for ya this afternoon. No thanks, I just had Jason here struggle for about 95 minutes trying to make this order happen, I'm not letting you guys just throttle BB's ability to make sales just because you want to force people to buy directly through you.
It was really insane. AT&T seemed to just REFUSE to let Best Buy sell me the phone, their story repeatedly changed as to why it wasn't working, but I don't think they realized I was standing there with the sales reps and had actually seen other people do trade-ins. I eventually got it, but MAN it was a fight.

Wow. All for the commision.

I placed my pre-order on the 3rd of April, BB.com, and I received it in store on the 10th, AT&T black sapphire 64GB and got the free wireless charger pad.

No 64GB Edge models in SLC yet
Same issue here in Salt Lake City. I was told I was the first to pre-order the white Edge 64GB AT&T version. I also ordered a standard S6 32GB in black. I got the notification Friday morning on the black one, but nothing on mine. I waited until 4pm and then just went to the store. After waiting an hour to be helped, I was told I could not leave with the black one unactivated (it's for my nephew out of state and is a surprise graduation gift), and that no 64GB white Edge phones arrived at all. They had no idea when they might get them. So I left empty handed and extremely annoyed, even though the BB staff was apologetic and offered to hold the wireless charging pad for my nephew's phone even though I theoretically wouldn't pick it up for two months.
I checked a few AT&T stores, but they didn't get any 64GB Edge models at all either. I was told only those who preordered directly through AT&T online and had their phones shipped to them got the 64GB version, at least in my area. The AT&T stores could also not tell me when they might be in stock, but suggested I order online and could get one in as little as one business day. I do see they are shipping and just had a live chat with an AT&T rep online who told me white 64GB Edge models were ready to ship to customers.
I still haven't gotten any communication from Best Buy on my phone - not even the "sorry for the delay" email some are reporting. And yes, I've checked spam. I think I'll be ordering from AT&T online tonight.

Gave up - AT&T order coming tomorrow
I gave up on Best Buy and ordered my 64GB white Edge from AT&T online today with expedited shipping. Just got the notification that it's being delivered tomorrow!

I gave up on my Bestbuy preorder also. I preordered a white 64GB S6. Got an email on the 10th about a delay. I cancelled yesterday and ordered the 64GB Platinum / Gold S6 Edge from AT&T.

Ordered my 64GB Gold Platinum Edge yesterday, order status says it's "Preparing for shipment". I have the same 4/24-4/27 estimated ship date as well but the guy who helped me at my AT&T store said it'd be delivered in 3-5 Days. I've heard people getting theirs way sooner than the estimated ship date and I'm wondering if that's just applying to a certain model, or all of them.

Very good device, i love it

Well that sucks, must be in bigger cities? I walked into a Best Buy just to look at one on 4/12 thinking I wasn't eligible for a few more weeks, ended up walking out with a 'black' 64gb edge. But it had problems, had a bunch of what looked like waves on the underside of the glass (mfg defect?). Went back in last Thursday and swapped for another one in stock (no issues).

We bought a white and black 64gb edge. My wife's black one had a bubble under the LCD. While I was having mine wrapped at Clear Coat we noticed it. We took it back to the store and had it swapped out only to see a line of waves under the screen. They wouldn't swap it for another one abs told us we had to contact Samsung directly .

anybody see this?

so i got a 32gb white s6 from rent a center yesterday for my wife to try. you know pay to own type of thing, yea its a ripoff what they charge but its short term until i could get one through tmobile or craigslist. i found this deal for an upgrade for me on tmobile today. it says its for a 128gb version for only $285 down and $19.75 per month. kinda a high down payment but my credit isn't perfect. anyways how can this be less than what they want for 32gb version? i wanted to make sure im not just seeing things. if its true ill be getting asap and take the rented one back. maybe the higher storage versions aren't selling well?
i attached a screenshot i just took.

Sales. T-Mobile has been having sales.

The 32GB is $679. That is $759 ($19.75X24+285), and the ad says thats including a $100 web only discount. Seems right to me.

Yes, they have that since memorial day sale I think, I returned my 64gb in the store and bought the 128gb online coz they have the same price.

Note 9 United Kingdom Thread (Pricing / order & Software updates)

Hey all its that time of year again where we get all excited about the new note phone here in the good old United Kingdom.
Feel free to post All UK based news and preorder Info etc.
Are you jumping on board, which phone are you coming from what features made you switch or upgrade.
Pricing Information as of announcement day
£1099 for 512gb
£899 for 128gb
£400 trade in value for Note8
No pre order gifts in the UK
Paypal is standard offer i.e credit charge for 6 -24 months, or 0% if paid off in 4 months (paypal standard offer)
Quidco currently giving back 4% as of 11th August, however if you use a trade in device it will be 4% off the discounted price not the full retail price. I.e its roughly £15 on the 128gb and £19 on the 512gb
For myself I have had nearly every note since the first one. Alas note 7 was my fave, and currently have the 8.

As soon as it's available to Pre Order I'm in.
Hoping to get the Blue on with the yellow spen.

If they offer a trade in with the Note 9 its a lot easier as you send your old phone after you've received new phone unlike other trade in offers

Are you already on the upgrade program?
I have sold my Note 8 so I can just buy outright but was thinking about the upgrade option so I could change next year without the fuss.
Do you have to have a phone to return to be able to join the program?

Yeah be going through Samsung Direct, not on the upgrade program myself but be interesting on what deals they do and may for the first time look at their upgrade program

As for the Upgrade you don't need to have a phone as your starting a fresh upgrade program , So you would then just trade in your Note 9 next year (I would read T&C`s tho as good few caveats in there that made me go hmmmm)
Tho if Samsung do the Paypal 0% again that looks a better deal
Tho if they do the paypal 0% offer again that's a better option

May I ask why the PayPal deal is better than the upgrade program?

I've asked Samsung whether the ones available for pre-order are single or dual SIM variants but they are not sure yet.

Samsung website doesn't mention anything about Dual SIM version, was looking forward to it, got rid of my Note 8 Duos , so may have to look elsewhere.
edit* If you click find retailer it shows Hybrid SIM.

Doesn't feel like there's much excitement for this one.
I want to get the Note 9 512GB/8GB Ram variant but feeling a little hesitant to pull the trigger considering the price of £1,099.00 and no pre-order gifts.
