Nexus S now a free phone :O

**plushy** · 05-20-2011, 05:18 PM

Looks like it is now available through Amazon. Have people had good experiences with them in the past?

Amazon.com: Samsung Nexus S 4G Android Phone (Sprint): Cell Phones & Accessories

Thanks.

Edit: price just dropped to free, so if you already ordered, call them and ask for a price adjustment.

Amazon is a trustful company for ordering stuff online. I had many good experiences with them in the past.

I thought the NS4G was a Sprint/Best Buy exclusive. Did something change or am I just wrong?

**Shabbypenguin** · 05-20-2011, 08:01 PM

-if sprint can sell it in the stores amazon can sell it online, as can everyone else

SERIOUSLY? That makes me mad - I just bought one from my Sprint store from $200 and I have an Amazon prime account, too... (not that it matters since it has two day shipping anyways and it's 8-9 days backordered). I almost bought from Wirefly at $150, but decided that I didn't want them to "inadvertently" mess up my Sprint account, which has a nice corporate discount on it that I worry about disappearing if a non-Sprint place does the "upgrade". Oh well, probably just as well I bought it at Sprint, but $100 difference hurts!

me too, i just got my nexus s 4g a couple days ago. darn, this sucks!!! should've waited

im gonna call customer retention department to see if they pricematch this.

**esoh** · 05-22-2011, 07:20 AM

Any luck on the Pricematch?

**chhay** · 05-22-2011, 12:29 PM

no, they won't do it!!! man, so sad! oh well!

**Linkchomp** · 05-22-2011, 01:52 PM

Studentrate has a nice deal going on as well, but it's only for people who're students :P

And Amazon is very trustworthy. Never had a problem with them, plus I get Prime for FREEEE

**esoh** · 05-22-2011, 06:06 PM

If not Price Match, will Sprint telesales match price on new contracts or added lines? I want to add a line to my family plan and get the phone, but would prefer to pay $100 vs. $200, plus get it ASAP.

**chhay** · 05-24-2011, 06:30 PM

Has anyone ordered from amazon wireless and pay the 99$? I wonder if the transaction is smooth and the contract is the same as sprint with 30-day return policy. I would like to hear the feedback on this, so I can decide if I should order one from amazon wireless or not.

Thanks!

it's in stock now vs 8-9 day wait. and 2 star reviews, heh

**theblizzard2009** · 05-25-2011, 09:52 AM

**dkotoric** · 05-25-2011, 10:57 AM

I am returning mine to best buy and ordering from amazon. I'm having some issues with it anyway so was going to exchange it but will just do this now.

Price just dropped to $49, so if you already ordered, call them and ask for a price adjustment.

**jtexans** · 05-26-2011, 02:42 PM

Oh...I'm calling Best Buy today to see if they'll price match. if not, I'll just return. and order via amazon.

**dimapb** · 05-26-2011, 02:52 PM

Best Buy only matches to local competitors and will not match to online seller. Good luck.

**esoh** · 05-26-2011, 04:10 PM

Sorry, who has it for $49? BB or Amazon? Thanks.

Amazon. $49 if you're a new customer and not just upgrading a Sprint line...

**HuskerD** · 05-26-2011, 05:02 PM

Amazon. $49 for new lines & $99 for upgrades.

**esoh** · 05-26-2011, 06:13 PM

Sorry for the follow up question here, but I've never ordered a phone from Amazon (or any online place). If I have Sprint acct with family plan, can I order new phone from AW with new line (add-on to family plan) and pay $49? I didn't think that AW could do that with Sprint yet, but I wasn't sure if they have tapped into the Sprint backoffice to allow this. TIA.
