I placed my review on Best Buy's site:

Nice review! Where did you get such a good deal for $150? I'm going to re-up in April so I'm hoping the price will come down some by then.

It will come down by then. Just wait and look for deals like I did.

I had my new Note I for 44 days, decided they're not going to give Note I JB anytime soon, if ever, so I took it back Best Buy and got the Note II.

I paid $150 for Note I and extra $150 for the Note II.
Total cost with contract was $300.
(Note I is going for $100.)

Then that weekend I saw that Best Buy had it on sale for $200 w/2year contact. So I went back and they gave me back $100. That sure made my day!

Then a week later I took advantage of this deal:

Best Buy Mobile is offering a $50 Best Buy Gift Card, when you get a phone with a 2-Year Agreement. Best Buy is an authorized reseller for Verizon, AT&T, Sprint & T-Mobile.

Some best bets:
Samsung Galaxy S II for $99.99 + $50 Best Buy GC
Samsung Galaxy Note II for $199.00 + $50 Best Buy GC
Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket for FREE + $50 Best Buy GC
Apple iPhone 5 for $199 + $50 Best Buy GC

So all told, I got this phone for $150. Fantastic deal.
I was willing to pay full price at $300 too.

I forgot to mention that a week after the last deal, they had $100 off any Samsung notebook.
I ended up doing that too. :)

Yup. My Uncle had been wanting to get the Note 2 for a while and ended up with the $199 price match minus the $50 upgrade special they were having (after I told him just to register his phone number, in case he's ready to upgrade). He also took advantage of the Tablet deal and picked himself up a Note 10.1 16gb w/ $100 off from Best Buy.
