[Q] Dispatch SGN @ Germany

does anybody out of germany had a chance to pic a SGN up at MediaMarkt? or maybe you've reccived a mail from Amazon.de or any other Order site that your device is on his glorious way into your hands?

Amazon.de and other online retailers don't seem to have stock yet. No german online retailer has send out phones yet.
But you could get it for the last two days in many Media Markt and Saturn stores. They have limited stock at the moment so calling ahead and reserving one for pick up is advised, especially if you don't live near one of their stores.
The Galaxy Nexus is in Media Marks latest print ad (page 3). download pdf
edit: It's also on the front page of the Saturn homepage.

amazon
i've ordered it on amazon along with prime delivery (had a wording grin there) since they offered the SGN mid last month..
they still give me a delivery date range from tomorrow 3.12 till 6.12.
but so far it's not it's way yet...
can keep you posted if desired..

got it from saturn yesterday and canceled my order at amazon

Yeah, I bought the last out of 7 Galaxy Nexus that were in stock at a MediaMarkt in Heilbronn on November 30th
The guy selling it to me had never even heard about Nexus devices and didn't know ****. ("Is this a new windows phone?" ) But he was impressed that all 7 devices were sold for 549€ in no time.
I canceled my order at Home Of Hardware then.

have you tried mediamarkt instead?

nope - and i won't, the service in both of those stores is as bad as it can be..
through I'm spamming F5 on amazon to check any changes (and yet I'm so eager to switch away from my almighty milestone)

I ordered mine from amazon a week ago. they say 13.12.-14.12.

Got mine today from Media Markt as well, 529€ which is compared to online prices very cheap. Canceled my preorder as well.
Just call the Markets near you and ask if they got it. I called 3 different ones in the area and only one had them. Good luck!

I heard there are the ones selling for 529 euros, and the ones for 629. Has anyone been able to confirm whether the more expensive ones are 32GB, or that's only retailer price difference?

As far as i know, only the LTE version does hold 32gb of data - all GSM devices are 16gb only

That's what has been said, but a 100 euro price difference seems pretty peculiar to me. It exactly matches the other devices' price differences for storage expansion. I guess we'll have to wait for someone to get a hold of one of the 629 euro ones.

could be... but you really just need more space for music n stuff.. depending on the data limitation within your contract... however you can use the cloud as extended storage.. basically thats why the 16gb is not that huge step back (for me, even if i think 16gb is far too less of offline storage)

Well, that's true, but i just can't bring myself to accept 16GB of storage . I have great 3G coverage here but still i would like to keep the most of my music and especially TV series episodes with me on my offline storage.

UK availability?

Hey all.
Does anyone know when this will be available in the UK? A few weeks back it was at lakeside with the promise of general sale a few days after. I cannot find it even listed anywhere outside of expansys. I really want it!

The 16gb is available at the samsung store in Westfield centre Stratford. Thats the only place im aware of that has stock at the moment. They only stock the 16gb WIFI version though

Yep it's frustrating at the moment, I am almost tempted to order the 3G version from amazon.de, I think if they had the black version I would have ordered by now.
I can't help feeling that Samsung are shooting themselves in the foot the longer they leave it with the new Nexus 7 just round the corner.

Sorry I meant Westfield not lakeside! It's the 3G one I'm after ideally. Maybe amazon.de is the way forward. I'll give the UK another week or so then go German!

Carphone warehouse say they will ship wifi version before week commencing May 5th is you pre-order. However they also said this 10th april for delivery before 19th April. I pre-ordered (they took my money) and I rang to chase on the 18th to see it slip out to May 5th. So I cancelled my order.
So I don't suppose this really helps you! but they are listing it and cheaper than amazon.de.

I noticed the Carphone Warehouse date slipping too, I really looking for a black 3G version which it seems is non existent right now.

I asked Samsung UK on Facebook, they replied
Samsung UK (Facebook) posted this:
Samsung Mobile UK Hi Julie, the wifi version will go on general release in the first week of May. ^George
No details of 3G or 32GB units

I'm in the States, but want the 3G/Phone N5100 version as well. Every site that I've seen it listed at in the U.S. has also slipped from April 23rd to May 8th availability. So those dates correspond well to a 3-4 day lead time from foreign sources such as the initial May 19th, then May 5th dates given by Carphone Warehouse UK.
Hopefully May 5th (and May 8th for me) will be the day! Fingers crossed...

I own a Note 2, and was intrigued by this device.
However, the price really puts me off. For an 8" tablet, it is in a price bracket of it's own. More expensive than the iPad Mini even.
I just can't justify that layout for something that is just a little bigger than my Note 2, it just isn't worth it.
A real shame, because it looks a great device.

Its in a price bracket of its own, because its in a league if its own. Even against the iPad Mini, the Note 8 has the pen digitizer, better CPU, and 4x the RAM (although the exterior build quality is arguably not quite as good, but still great).
Its worth if for those that value a premium device packed with features, versus the "race to the bottom" pricing strategy and gimping of features and quality present on devices like the Nexus 7, Kindle Fire, and Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. I for one am thankful that somebody has stepped up with a quality Android device (in the "smaller" form factor), as the lower-priced competition just doesn't hack it for me.

I am also waiting for the 3G version to become available so that I can replace both my Note 2 and IPad Mini with a single device. :good:

Samsung UK Facebook stated the wifi version would be available on 10th May.
Currys have the same availability date with the Note 8.0 ready to pre-order.

The Note is on Amazon UK - £339. However they are stating a 1- 3 month delivery. I'm confident that it will be available well before that time slot, as they often state this for newly released goods.

I'm assuming you got the WiFi only version? I'm patiently waiting for the 3G/Phone version to be released in the UK or elsewhere so I can get it through an importer to the U.S. (Los Angeles).

Yes just the white 16gb wifi is all they have....hope you don't have to wait to long

Thanks. We'll see. Unfortunately, Negri Electronics has pushed their "Expected Availability" date for the preorders forward twice already.

An Australian grey importer got the the 3G version in stock yesterday, so probably you'll see other importers get them soon.
Decided to wait further, as Australian versions of the device get 24 months warranty, but if you get an international version, it only has 12 months warranty. Endless waiting!

Bad time to get a new Note 8 Wifi?

Hi all,
I like to get a new Note 8 Wifi. After reading posts here, I found:
- the stock 4.1.2 has 'screen freezing' problem? Not sure what that is, but it doesn't sound good
- recent OTA upgrade to 4.2.2 may or may not fix it, and it introduced a new 'SPen offset problem'
- anything else?
Is this a bad time for me to buy a new Note 8 Wifi at this moment?
Thanks for your inputs.
-mike-

I've ever experienced either problem and I've used both firmwares

not everybody experiencing these issues, the screen freeze fixed on 4.2.2. The SPen offset problem; some experiencing the issue, and some don't.
Now, consider this; currently Note 8.0 WiFi is $299 at stables (in store only), plus there's this printable coupon $75 off (expiring 9/28) that would bring the price down to around $225....for $225 what you are getting is a steal here. Of course, if you can able to locate one in Stable stores, as seems like they all sold out...but give a try, you may get lucky...

great day! i gonna have to sell my sero 7 pro and grab another gn8! if i can sell it for $75 then $150 for another gn8 is a no brainer!

Thank you all! I'll try to see if I can find the coupon then call around to see who has it so I can go pick one up!

Good luck finding a Note 8.0 in LA... lmfao... I bought mine on the 9/21 coupon. I called almost every stores in LA (WestSide all the way to San Bernandino and as far south Aliso Viejo). Some of them have incorrect inventory count, one store in San Fernando had a "broken" one. But I finally found one in Cerritos. Drove my ass there and picked it up. But as far as I can tell, none in the Greater Los Angeles area.

i picked on one. sold my sero 7 already and got the $25 credit, so only $125 out of pocket not including tax. another guy at work is going across town later to pick him up one. they've got 4 at another store. they had 2 at the one i went to but they could only find one. i was trying to see if they'd hold one.
thanks a bunch for the heads up!
and, no, it's the perfect time to get one! or another one, lol.

most stores are likely out of stock by now. however you can have them order in-store thru their online kiosk. you'll end up paying the $299 price plus the $75 off coupon at the register. next business-day delivery thru the kiosk...that's how i was able to get mine
the galaxy perks promotion ($25 google play credit, hulu plus, plus some boingo stuff) ends 9/30 though...

Yeah, I was able to order mine exactly that way. But I couldn't get the next business day delivery, unfortunately. It delivers on Wednesday... So I will not receive the galaxy perks, sadly. How did you ask for the next business day delivery? I just asked how quick it can ship and she didn't give me options for different shipping speeds, just said it will come on Wednesday...

Where can I see it in New York?

Hi all,
Sorry for the dummy question but I would like to know if there is a place we can currently see and test it in New York at the moment?
I moved in the US few months ago, so I'm not sure how this works.
Over the past week, I tried to check few places (carriers, electronic shops, ...) but I guess it is still being shipped, carriers allow pre-orders and will need a bit more time to have it in stores? I know AT&T will not have it in stores but I thought Verizon would have it by now... checked one 2 days ago and the guy said they should have it soon but doesn't when know when exactly.
Thanks in advance,
Axello

Verizon stores may not have it in stock for sale, but they should have display models available on their tethered cases.

I've been to like 20 stores in NJ..nada...no floor demo model or any in person/stock.... HTC might want to get these physically in stores. There chances to sell incrrease dramatically that way...lol
Granted I know I'll love it but I need to see/hold it first before I purchase.
Hopefully the Ice View case is better constructed than the M9 dot view case....that was an epic fail by them. I had it replaced every 2 months 6 times from the flip cover ripping off.

Verizon on RT22 has it in display and in stock

I've seen and used them at the Verizon stores in Queens Center Mall and on Wall Street. Not sure if they actually have any in stock for purchase since I'm with T-Mobile. I just wanted to get to a store that had them before I bought online from HTC since it's $100 cheaper with the discount code.

Verizon store on 108th st has it

Several Verizon stores have it in NYC.

staten island stores have them on display.

Thank you all!
I'll check again today!

Ok, couldn't see it on 42nd but it was on display on 33rd (opposite Macy's).
Definitely a nice phone, I think I'll look for a good deal now for an unlocked version.
The 100$ promo code is not valid anymore

General Galaxy Fold 3 UK Owners Thread

Thread for UK Owners.
Looking for the best deal currently myself.
I can see Vodafone have a sliding scale scheme; the more you pay up front the less you pay per month.
£469 up front for the phone then £65 a month for 25gb

I decided to buy from the Samsung Web site. Got £100 voucher from Sammy and trade in Tab S6 and further saving by using Samsung Pay. Also free starter kit worth £79. Good deal all round.

I see mention of a 16gb, is this being sold in the UK?

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 5G - Full phone specifications

12gb only

I haven't preordered a Samsung device since the s6. I just moved to the UK from America so I am intrigued. However since all Samsung folds are Snapdragon it may not be root friendly.
I also got a decent trade in (450) for the iPhone 11 I previously used in the US. So definitely 27/8 cannot come fast enough

The international version should still be root friendly (well as friendly as Samsung phones are) Samsung can't change the rules just because different cpu

I always buy my device using the Samsung upgrade program, and get a sim separately
Currently using a Vodafone esim with unlimited data for £29/month. I usually use a minimum of 600Gb/month, and as much as 2Tb.

Ordered the 512gb Fold3 and watch4 classic, looking forward to it!

Pre-ordered on 3 unlimited everything - first 6 months are 55 then up to 110 - will be shedding the wife's N10 towards future contract costs to reduce further.
Hoping to get a rom together reasonably quickly (depending on how many spanners Sammy have thrown in the works and differences from N20U)

I have been developing on the Tab S6 for over a year now and that's snapdragon
The main difference to Exynos i have noticed is lack of modifiable upparam on SD devices (to get rid of annoying red text when rooted)

Just noticed the free Starter Kit is availability until 31 December! This means you do get a S Pen included, in reality.

I did the rounds with a spreadsheet and figured out buying the phone from samsung.com with a vodafone contract was best. They had a deal for £59/mo plus £380 up front, unlimited calls, texts and 100GB 5G data. Total £1796. Nearly £200 cheaper than buying the phone outright and sticking on my £16.21/mo three contract. Going directly through carriers and looking at 100GB+ data was no competition either, vodafone and o2 about £2.2k, Three £2.3k, EE £2.5k etc.
I don't know if that works with tradeins, vouchers etc. so it might be possible to go cheaper.

I got mine from very, got 10% off when making first credit account purchase when using: welcome as discount code I believe…
Ended up paying 1490 down from the 1599.

Does the UK Version have dual and eSIM or is it single sim and eSIM disabled like the US version ?
