Nexus S 4G $149 at Bestbuy

**Csquared** · 05-08-2011, 05:40 AM

Bestbuy has the Nexus S 4G for $149 online for new customers. Im going to cancel my order immediately since they charged me $200. If you are upgrading it's still $200.

Unless you are porting in. Sprint has the $125 credit promotion again for new lines.

I see that as well. I tried to order but it's not available for in-store pickup. I wonder if we can walk in and get it for that price.

sweeet, I'm going to pick mines up later today. I was quoted 199.99 when I pre-ordered, so 149 is a very pleasant surprise.

Got an existing customer upgrade for $149 at the Best Buy in Pensacola, FL at 11am this morning. It rang up as $199 but the rep adjusted it to $149 because that's what she quoted me. They also offered a case/zagg screen protector/auto charger combo package for $50.

I just called best buy and they told me over the phone its 149 with upgrade and adding a line. Looks like i will be going there tomorrow insted of sprit.

I paid $200 at the best buy in Arlington VA today. Might have to go back and ask for a price adjustment.

What is BB's history on prices like this? Will it stay at 149 or go back up to 199? I can't really afford it right now, but I might figure out a way if anyone thinks the lower price at BB will be temporary.

I paid $199 for my upgrade at Best Buy what the hell? It says below the dummy unit at Best Buy $149 for new activation. $199 for upgrade and $699 off contract. How you people managed to upgrade for $149 is beyond me...

**KoukiFC3S** · 05-08-2011, 11:00 PM

Paid 200 for upgrade.

**mikachu** · 05-09-2011, 03:37 AM

Damn, I got mine from a sprint store? Could I return it to sprint store and buy from best buy?

**IXDoubleDXI** · 05-09-2011, 08:09 AM

I was the first one (i think only one) in Best Buy to pick up my pre order yesterday. I mentioned to the salesguy that I saw the priced dropped to $149 on BB.com, he said, "yeah, we all got an email about that this morning, it'll cost you $149". I didn't mention it said $149 for new customers, but he knew I was upgrading, so I'm not sure how it worked out, but it did.

Picked up mine yesterday for $149 at Best Buy. Rang up at $199, but the manager was happy to override the price.

**bigran4life** · 05-09-2011, 08:47 AM

Anyone know if Sprint is price matching or offering partial refunds in response to Best Buy's new price?

**kjparfekt** · 05-09-2011, 10:09 AM

Called bestbuy and the guy said yeah the price dropped to $149 but you have to go to the store for a refund of the price difference. I'm not sure it's worth it to take an hour off of work since it seems like it could be a luck of the customer service person.

According to BestBuy.com it still says $199 for upgrade. Dunno what that guy was talking about. It says online and in store its $199 to upgrade. So not fair you guys paid $149 from a "PRICE ADJUSTMENT" and I had to pay $199 which is what it is suppose to be!

i called sprint - retentions - no dice -told me to return the phone then!

**Thrasherx2k1** · 05-10-2011, 12:50 AM

I called Best Buy national line and my local Best Buy again and they informed me any rep or manager price adjusting a phone that was meant to be $199 all along for upgrade will most likely be fired or screamed at. I just cannot believe how stupid some employees are.
