So I "pre-ordered" the Note 4 from T-Mobile at the last minute on 10/16 (it was like 11:50PM). I don't believe any of my email receipts mention "pre-order".

I also haven't done a trade-in yet with one of my old phones (not able to find one yet that's worth at least $10). I was reading the fine print of the original pre-order promo and it sounds like as long as I buy the Note 4 by 10/16 I can do the trade-in after 10/16, and not necessarily at the same store?

Would someone please confirm I'm reading this right? Since without the $200 rebate I'll be returning the phone.

That's how I read it to - the "pre-order" is determined by the date of order on your receipt. I also did a trade-in at a different retailer.

With the equivalent Samsung $200 offer for non-preorders as long as you trade-in at the same place, you could always cancel and just do it all again at T-mobile.

on the ToC it says it has to be done on the same transaction.
Still I got until the end of the month to decide if I want to get it.

Nice~ seriously their staff onsite need better training regards to the promotion. It's like they're going out of their way to disqualify for any reason possible.

Thank you and good point, I can always return this "pre-order and order another one with the new promotion.

The ToC in the previous "pre-order" promo didn't state that the purchase and trade in have to be on the same order.

For most users, the $200 pre-order site was rejecting all submissions with an invalid IMEI message. Well looks like they finally figured out their issues and the site worked for my T-mobile Note 4.

Also for those who missed this deal but still want a Note 4, Samsung has a new $200 trade-in when purchasing a Note 4 deal - so pretty much the same thing without the pre-order. The only real difference is the purchase and trade-in need to be at the same retailer (unlike the pre-order offer).

The analogous Best Buy offer is more convenient for those buying on contract, though I've heard of Best Buy giving some hassle if you're trying to buy the phone outright. This may be an alternative for non-contract buyers or for those looking to buy the T-mobile version b/c of the unlocked bootloader.

Can you detail to me what you submitted as the receipt for the preorder and the trade in? I preordered on Oct 13th but didn't get my payment processed and phone # give until the 15th. As for the trade in, I put in a trade for the Virgin Kyocera C5133 black which was estimated $10 TIV and on the printing label it shows $10 but I just checked the site and it now shows it as $6 TIV... confused now... Thank you in advance.

Sorry can't really help here. I traded in a phone at Best Buy (separately from ordering from T-mobile). So I submitted the following:

- My T-mobile order receipt that shows the date of order (within the pre-order window)
- My Best Buy trade-in receipt that showed the date, phone, and amount
- IMEI and Wifi MAC to verify I actually received the phone

what's the best price on this phone at the moment? I'm on tmobile and they say $750 - 200. I'm still on a nexus 4 that I love but I just have a hankering for a new phone and want to try one of these large phones. How is the note 2, note 3 vs the nexus 4.

May I ask if your trade in was dine after the 10/16 date?

I got my receipt for the Note 4 purchase in 10/16, but I didn't make my trade in yet (just bought a T-Mobile Prism Ii on eBay with TIV of $30) and was hoping I could trade it in next week and still be eligible for the $200 pre-order rebate since the ToC doesn't specific when the trade-in has to take place by. Thanks.

That's almost $200 cheaper than the AT&T off-contract price?

More like $160 but yeah, they're just gouging customers at $825. T-mobile is selling for $750 and Verizon of all places is selling for $699.

May I ask if your trade in was dine after the 10/16 date?

No I was aiming for the least uncertainty b/c the program's T&Cs weren't especially clear. I pre-ordered on Sept 28th and traded a phone in-store a few days after that.

I would *think* with the lack of explicit dates (such as the exact dates of the pre-order window), you have until the offer submission expiration date to trade-in a phone.

T-mobile has extra 30 bucks off all samsung phones right now.
If you purchased it recently I'd call in and get the $30 dollar adjustment.

Yes, this is what I read in the ToC as well. Maybe I'll give it a whirl and see if I get the $200 rebate. Or I can just return the Note4 I have now from T-mobile and order another one and trade-in on the same transaction to use the new promotion. Thanks for your time!

So I pre-ordered the Note 4 from Verizon but this was before the Developers Edition. When is the DE version going to be available and will there be any deal along with the $662 price. Just to be clear, is the $662 the price without a 2 year plan otherwise that would be way more expensive not less expensive.

What's the differences between the regular Verizon Note and the DE version?

Unlocked bootloader in the DE version. There may be other differences I'm not aware of.

No, I'm pretty certain that will be it.

Don't expect OTAs for the Dev Edition. On the other hand, because of the unified platform you'll be able to flash whatever you want from the extremely large worldwide Note 4 dev pool (since only AT&T/VZ are bootloader locked).

Anyone else having issues activating note 4 Verizon? Been trying past 4 hours but always fails.

Might try my note 2 sim card on it tomorrow but wanted to activate it first on my limited line first. Do not want Verizon an excuse to pull my unlimited plan.

If I knew that $30 off at TMobile and $200 rebate would be available after the preorder rebate I would've waited, $30 is not worth getting the phone 10 days early lol
