Best place to buy the 3D??

[loren646]

on a gov't plan so there is no activation fee. Automatically waived which is a nice feature. I'm getting it as an upgrade so right now - Best Buy 199.

I preordered mine at BB last month. The advertised price with upgrade/new plan is $199. I stopped by yesterday and asked about their price match policy...I told them about Target's advertised price; they agreed to match Target's price of $179, provided that on launch date when they call Target to verify and they do have a phone available for that price.

Below is the link to Target Mobile Store for the 3D advertised for $179. Either print it out or have BB go directly to the link for quick reference.

The thing about buying it in store is that you still have to pay tax etc. Online you pay just the 179.99 and then shipping IF you chose to have it shipped 2nd day or overnight. I wouldn't do that because ground is typically 2-3 days and chances are if it ships on friday you will probably get it the same day as you would have if you paid for 2nd day. If you aren't looking to save money (but causing yourself wait) then none of that matters...but personally I like having saved probably more than $60 on one order and then $30 on another (I ordered another for my 2nd line after sprint changed my wife's upgrade date, but after wirefly's $150 price expired).

I also found out that ordering through wirefly is no different than ordering through target wireless. They are both "powered" by Simplexity LLC and basically you are buying the phone from the same company. I would STRONGLY advise against ordering from Amazon Wireless at this time as their phones are now on backorder. I called Amazon Wireless and they said it would probably be July before I got one if I ordered today (or beyond etc).

I am not sure what all services Target Wireless offers, but my wirefly purchases seemed great. I just wish I had known about sprint chaging the upgrade dates before and I would have ordered both phones at the same time >_<.

I know you say Amazon wireless might have issues now getting a phone out to you before july, but they are an option to be considered if you have Amazon Prime (remember collegiate students get Amazon Prime for free, as well as Amazon Moms [and dads]) because of the free two-day shipping or pretty cheap overnight shipping. All depending on if they have them in stock or you don't mind waiting a few weeks after release. There is no tax on those orders either which is good.

Last week they said they had them available to ship release day if I'd ordered then; a lot of people must have hit them up.

Can I get this at WireFly for $149 with my SERO plan? I am out of contract.

I dont know much about SERO. But I know wirefly no longer has the phones at 149. I think they dropped the price for 7 of the final 14 days prior to release to drum up more orders. or maybe ev less time than that. but i called wirefly two different times and confirmed that the 149 price is gone. tho...it could always come back again so you never know...but as of right now wirefly and target (also amazon and some others) have them at 179.

Doesn't BB charge an activation fee? If so, are they willing to waive that too since the Target ad says free activation?

[icepick127001]

According to the ad, Target IS charging activation fees for upgrades. It's only waived for new accounts. That's lame.

Technically shouldn't you be charged tax on the online order if that company has presence in your state? I don't see how Sprint can get away without charging tax on a phone order

I think he was more referring to sites like Wirefly and Amazon.
