Anyone planning to buy the Note II for full price?

**EggotheKilljoy** · 09-01-2012, 09:12 AM

I'm leaving Sprint when my contract ends in December, and I'm going to T-Mobile prepaid. It's either this or one of the next Nexus devices. I'll have to see what comes out.

Straight talk is the route I am thinking about taking. Does anyone know anything about Simple Mobile? They offer unlimited with 4G(HSPA+) for $50 an month.

Ya its tough really I bought the gsm nexus used it for about 2 months on straight talk then decided to give that phone to my gf and bought a gnote off swappa.com. I everything obout the note. But the Galaxy is so sweet with vanilla android and fast updates. After using gnote for about 1 month now when I pick the nexus uo it feels like a babies phone its so small lol

It works on T-Mobiles network so if it suck where you are like it does for me I would take straight talk with a AT&T sim

I think I will be getting one also and using it with StraightTalk on my AT&T SIM.

I'm on board with others on Verizon. If it comes I will pay full price for it. The boot loader will be eventually unlocked.

Fortunately I still have my upgrade since I choose not to jump on the SIII. Now I'm just waiting to see how ATT is going to release it.

**Rcrdude64** · 09-18-2012, 01:12 PM

Still a year left on my contract so if it comes to sprint then full retail it is

Evil Evo

**mxmarcus** · 09-21-2012, 06:05 AM

I will use a friend upgrade to get it.

Since I have 20 months remaining in my 2 year contract with Sprint (I got the EVO LTE four months ago), I'm gonna have to pay $350 for ETF and then around $600-800 for the Note II. This is going to be one expensive phone for me. :P

I'm hoping I can sell my EVO LTE (along with its accessories) to my friends or co-workers for a few hundred bucks.

UPDATE: See my next comment below.

Are you leaving Sprint? The only time you have to pay the EFT is when you leave a company, not when you buy a new phone off contract.

Thinking about leaving Sprint, paying the ETF, and going to Verizon for the Note 2.

Currently have the iPhone4S, but the slow speeds from Sprint is warranting my switch. I have had the phone for about a year so my ETF will be around $220 and then buying the phone on Verizon would be $299?

I am also looking at the iPhone5 on Verizon, just for the 4G speeds and to keep in the Apple ecosystem.

Tough decisions! Stay on Sprint or jump to Verizon..

**Sh3ngLong** · 09-21-2012, 03:41 PM

LOL... I went to lunch right after I wrote my last comment and realized I didn't have to pay ETF . I confused myself because up until this past weekend, I was planning to leave Sprint for T-Mobile. But I decided to stick with Sprint.

**sddabrow** · 09-21-2012, 03:43 PM

Any particular reason for staying on Sprint?

**Sh3ngLong** · 09-21-2012, 04:35 PM

There's a thread in the T-Mobile Galaxy S3 forum where people were talking about their network connection issues and that just kinda scared me. I know Sprint ain't all that great, but I'm hoping it'll be much better in the next few months.

**Jaysoze** · 10-14-2012, 07:48 AM

I bought a sim free version yesterday for £550 and just put my old contract sim in. Didnt fancy signing myself up for another 24 month's.

**smooches680** · 10-14-2012, 10:44 AM

No full price for me, I will be trading my Samsung galaxy S3 phone for the Samsung galaxy note 2 when it comes to Sprint.

I'll be selling my EVO LTE to one of my friends for $250, and that's including the TPU Diztronic case, Seidio Surface case, HTC Media Link HD, car dock, and an unused Steinheil screen protector.

i paid full retail $699.99 no tax on Amazon and i even overnited it (when i want something i want it!) for $29.99 and when i tell you this phone is so totally worth it i am not exaggerating. Plus i am on Straight Talk so Full Price is my only option anyway, but with this amazing Superphone, 725.00 feels like the "bargain of the century"...

I'll more than likely be paying full retail for this, as I just got an SIII in June. This phablet is totally worth it. I'll sell my SIII, and recoup some of the damages.
