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!
Cheers!

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.

Which is just a sneaky way of saying "10th May, just the same as everybody else", no?

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!

Release of SW2 in US?

According to Sony, it's not officially released in US yet. So where do you guys buying it from? I see it's being sold on Amazon (US) but is that an official Sony US retailer? Others mention eBay and someone mentioned a store in the mall (DC I think?), etc. I understand Amazon merchants could be from UK or in general outside of US, the same with ebay. So, are there any official US stores that sell it? And for those who bought it in US, where you able to contact Sony support (in US) to answer your questions?

Yes mine came from a company in NY called TECH1 and it came in official Sony packaging and everything.....definitely an official watch. The US customer service has been able to help me with a few questions on the watch.....I love it

Anyone know where this one is from? Link

Newegg
Amazon listed as 2-4 weeks and the other companies listed on Amazon are not Authorized Dealers. I checked. So I found it on Newegg. They were in stocked and shipped next day. Love the watch but I wish there were more apps. Where's the weather app and no watch faces.

I just ordered one from there. It's been shipped, supposed to arrive between 18 and 28 October.
Sold by http://www.amazon.com/gp/aag/detail...1-6475427&seller=A3QWSZ44N8P3XH#aag_legalInfo

I bought mine on eBay from a place in Texas and they shipped it out the day it released. I've had it since last Friday afternoon and I love it.
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/380723735743
They're listing it for $999.00 for some reason, but I bought mine for $189.00 USD.

Hi guys, if I buy the watch from Amazon.co.uk with metal strap, can I get support from Sony USA under warranty terms? Does Sony have international warranty for their products? Thanks!

newegg all the way. originally ordered from mobile fun, but after they backordered it for two weeks despite them having it listed as in stock and ready to ship, i cancelled and called newegg. the girl said they had about 76 in stock so i ordered it from them. 199 +25 for overnight shipping. ordered it friday and got it on monday.. ive had the watch for about week and i love it, even though the amount of apps is pretty depressing. give me a music widget and a battery percentage icon, and ill be good for a while. :good:

Sony.com has both models in stock now for $199.99/$219.99. I just placed my order. There appears to be a glitch right now that allows you to get the 3 year replacement/accidental damage plan for free! Add the watch to the cart, but do not select a warranty plan. Edit the warranty plan within the card and for some reason the 3-year plan is $0. I used Chrome, if that matters....

MobileFun is bad news. I ordered from them and wasn't even given a confirmation email. Very poor communication and their US phone number just rings. I had to get my credit card company involved to cancel my order. They said it was in stock when I ordered (Oct 15th) and wouldn't give me any further information on shipment or backorder status.

Has Anyone Had a 6GB/128GB model ship from China yet?

Today is the day that the 6GB/128GB models are supposed to start shipping, has anyone got a notification yet?

Nothing yet on the blue one I ordered

I just bought it today in China (Beijing) at a Xiaomi store. It's fantastic.

Nobody has had a 6GB/128GB model ship yet then? Some people recieved notes on their orders saying it would ship on Friday. I recieved one 10 days ago saying it would ship next Wednesday.

I've given up on Aliexpress. I had 3 separate orders with Mi Global, HKG and Mi Store and they're useless at replying to messages and they won't give me a solid date for dispatch.
I've followed TechTablets' (YouTuber) advise and gone with Trading Shenhzen as they have stock of the 128GB gold/white model. The price + postage worked out a smidge higher but they actually respond to messages and they give you the option of the Chinese ROM or that bootleg "global" ROM. They're already processing my order which is fantastic considering I only ordered a few hours ago.

Black and Blue models out of stock there aswell though, cant stand gold phones.

I'm still waiting on my black 6gb/128gb from Mi Global Store on AliExpress. Ordered July 30. Haven't had any replies after they offered to compensate the delay with a free mi band 3. Basically, they, like the rest, did a pre-sale since this version only went live officially on August 10th on Xiaomi's website. I waited this long, so I'll keep waiting for a few more days. No other place has black or blue. I'm not a fan of white/gold either.

Yep, I spoke to geekbuying. They don't get their pre-order stock until August 15th, so I think that's when online 6gb/128GB start shipping.

Yes, Trading Shenhzen is the best shop IMO. Hong Kong Goldway at Aliexpress use to be great but not anymore.

I have mine being shipped to me now. I was able to buy it off China's biggest e-commerce website taobao, and have it shipped to me in Malaysia. Logistics is going to take some time, and I hope I can get it within a week or two.

Got a link to it on Taobao? I cant actually see it. Lots of cases already though, good to see.

Still waiting for my black 6/128 to be shipped from HK Goldway.
I was told on the 6th Aug that it would be "sometime next week".

All Mi Max 3 will have those bands. You can buy / preorder from AliExpress, Gearbest, Geekbuying, Honorbuy, etc., etc.
BUT currently only the Chinese ROM is available, global ROM is rumoured to be released soon.

What about the play store. Is it installed on the phone?

Not on the Chinese ROM. Some resellers will install it before shipping but personally I would request them to leave the box sealed.

Indian buyers - Anyone bought from Appario?

I just noticed the 6Gb black edition is now available on Amazon from one seller "Appario Retail Private Ltd"
They seem to be the only seller with the black colour, anyone know if they are legit? googling their name returns some pretty bad feedback.
I am really hanging out to get the black version which no-one in India has sold so far.

Thanks, can you please post back here confirm you got everything as expected?

I got the free Bluetooth earphones from them.. Received in 2 days.. They're genuine.. Nothing to worry

Delivery Delayed On Launch Day! C'mon Oneplus

Pre-ordered a shiny new Oneplus 7t frosted silver through Amazon on Sunday as I had birthday vouchers, expecting to have it delivered today so I could play with the new shiny thing. Just received a mail from Amazon UK to say its been delayed and estimated deliver is now 24th October? I'm a little confused and saddened by this, Surely they have enough product for launch? has anyone else experienced this..

Just got mine delivered fom Amazon UK. But I went for the blue. I saw that frosted silver went out of stock very quickly yesterday so may just be the sheer number of orders for that varient was unexpected.

Think a lot of orders were placed...

Mine was supposed to be here on launch day also (frosted silver) but got delayed said it'll be here on the 21st instead but came today (day after launch) instead.
Don't give up hope.

Ordered mine just after 10 am Friday here in the states, expected 22nd. (With the 10$ discounted fast shipping) would have been nice to offer Saturday delivery.

Exactly in the same position as the OP. I ordered mine from Amazon UK (Frosted Silver) literally as the keynote finished. It was showing delivery on the 19th right up until late on the 18th then noticed that Amazon were showing estimated delivery as 24th October.
Every other retailer had the Frosted Silver showing as in stock.
I spoke to Amazon CS and he stated that they will have stock on the 24th October but even that wasn't a guarantee.
I cancelled and ordered from OP and the phone was delivered on Saturday.
It's more of an Amazon issue rather than OP.

Well,
Just got a notification of dispatch.. Its due today now... I guess after them telling me there is no chance of getting it until the 24th, they were wrong again.
Shame I have plans today so I won't be able to sign for it.
