Definitely wait if you can. As others have said Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals are usually very good if you need to renew or start a new contract.

Wait and buy a phone in the box on Swappa.com. LG G3 in the box starts at $460. If it's been out more than a month you will find it on Swappa.com for less Than retail.

I agree with the above that you will find a lot of black friday deals. With that said it really depends on what device you are going to buy as phones like the note 4 and the nexus 6 are least likely to drop in price especially if you are buying it off contract. Now the reason I may suggest waiting is if you are on the fence on what phone to buy, by the holiday period carriers will literally have all the flagship phones on demo so you can do a comparison for yourself to add with all the reviews that are already out. By waiting you get a full picture of what devices may have what issues and if the issues are hardware or software related, software problems can be fixed where hardware may not.

Thank you all for your help with this. I checked out Swappa and they do have some nice deals, might give it a try if I can't get a deal through Motorola. Garemlin, holy cow dude, thanks for the tip man! Will have to wait till at least Monday to see if I can pull it off.
