How many are going to hold off until a good promotion to get the note 3?

HTC made the rezound. I had two new exchanges within the return period from Costco for manufacturers defects.

Wow, I had no idea. My Rezound has always done some odd things, and now I'm particularly ready to leave it behind.

I am going to wait until Feb 2014 because that's when I am eligible for an upgrade from AT&T. I guess that is a good thing because I will get to see what the new Nexus will be like. I am 99.85% sure my next phone will be a Note 3 (currently a GS3) since the Nexus probably won't have a microSD slot and I need that slot for local storage.

It's good HTC has decided they need to produce better quality with the One.

I hear that. The Note 3 should be quite the upgrade.

I'm going to wait for awhile before I get the note 3 I'm happy with my note 2 and hopefully will see some of the new features in a update (fingers crossed)

Sadly I thought that would happen after the release of the s4 and it never did

I will probably sell my note 2 the day I can purchase the note 3....

Couldn't resist it and ordered it yesterday. Had an upgrade to burn and love my Note 2, so why not. I even took the plunge on the galaxy gear. I currently have the pebble and love the functionality of a smart watch, so figured I would give it a shot. I also backed the hot watch on kickstarter. What can I say i am addicted to new tech!

Awesomez. I have the same affliction. You'll have to report back on how you like that G-Gear.

Will do for sure. Not just counting the days until ship day!

 

[Simon_y7]

My wild guess that discounts may appear rather sooner than later, in part because the demand for Note 3 isn't going to be as high as was for earlier Notes. Early Notes were qualitatively different products (phablets), and those who wanted that specific quality already have it with earlier models. Most of them aren't going to grab Note 3 at high price.

 

[Raptor007]

Um, ok but I don't think so. Its a much better update than what the iphone is offering. Processor, storage, display, wireless charging (optional), etc. Its a worthy upgrade and the only place you may see discounts is from online 3rd party sellers who get you if you change anything for 6 months.

I will wait not only for a price drop but for bugs and hardware issues if any to be taken care of. Got my Note 2 for Xmax and I sold my old phone too pay for it like I do for all my new phones. I will never be an early adopter who has to pay the early adopter tax to be the first kid on the block with the new toy..

Does Verizon even do discounts. I was in the store the other day to check out the G2 and the Note 2 was still $249 on contract. It is $199 at best buy, $179 at amazon, and $179 at Newegg. All those prices are for contract renewal. So $299 on the day it comes out doesn't seem like a bad deal to me. I would pre-order it but I have a need to hold/touch things before I buy them.

I hear that. I'd want to see the phone in real life before putt'n down the funds on...especially that new back side.

The Order Odonata. There can be only one.

While it's true that prices tend to drop gradually over time, some drops are deep, sudden, and temporary. The trick is to catch the latter kind. People in this forum are awesome in this regard, as nobody can monitor the entire landscape of potential sellers singlehandedly.

I'm thinking about picking it up full price. Just not sure about the size coming from the S4. Note 3 or Moto X? What to do?! What to do?!

Haha! Why no X?

The only thing I don't like about the Note is size. Not sure how to pocket that thing sometimes.

 

[Simon_y7]

Just as an example, HTC One today at Verizon, after about a month since it's first appearance, still $199.99, at BB - $49.99.

Verizon offered the note 2 for $200 a while back, but they adjust the price from time to time. I got mine for $37 back in February from BestBuy. Verizon did sell the dna for free back in May. But true, third party typically have better deals.

My original intent of the thread was to ask if you will buy on release or wait for a sale, from any source not just Verizon
