Leaving Germany the 26th...

Hi, i'm in Munich for vacations... and will be leaving Sep 26th...
I wanted to buy a Galaxy Note 2 from a carrier or retailer before leaving... per gsmarena.com release is expected in Germany the 27th. Do any of you have an idea on which retailers are going to sell the Note II?
Or if it would be possible to me to get it a day before launch date. If this is possible. Maybe asking politely?

[Q] wait for official indian launch or import?? (nexus 7 2013)

the new nexus 7 (2013) was supposed to be launched in India on 12th nov, along with the nexus 5 but it didnt. the next probable date was 16th november, again it didnt.
meanwhile the nexus 5 will start shipping within this week only (acc to snapdeal) but the playstore still shows "coming soon"
now i am getting really really impatient abt all this.
so, should i wait for the new N7 to officially launch in India or just import it via amazon??? they are charging a measly 3000rs for taxes.
but i do have some concerns-
1. what about returns and after sales service?
2. warranty? will i get the warranty AFTER the new nexus is officially launched in India?
3. do i really need to worry abt warranty? (the 1st gen N7 users might be able to answer this)

better wait for few more weeks.
most products shipped from abroad dont cover warranty! (just in case)
it seems that the official availability of the nexus 7 in India soon is quite doubtful.
abt 8000 pieces of the new nexus7 was shipped to India on 13th november and its still not available in the market (both online and offline retailers), while the shipments of nexus 5 were sent on a later date and from today many retailers are selling it. whereas its still showing "coming soon" for nexus 5 on playstore and no word abt the nexus7 availability after the rumored release date of 12th nov.
its available!

Does it mean that they'll start selling Note 7 on Sept 21? Or the stock is just for exchanges?
Think yes, my seller says he will start selling it next week
Finger closed.

Thailand - Note 7 delayed until November 30th!?! I cancelled.

Thailand.
I was so excited when I ordered my Note 7 on August 5th. I couldn't wait. Then it was delayed to September 2. I wasn't happy but I decided to wait. The night before Samsung called. It is delayed. This time indefinitely.
Note 7s are catching fire. They're being banned. But I still wait. It is now almost October and we just got the news.
For pre-order customers the Note 7 will be available around November 30th! So this is impossible. That's basically December. By then we'll be about 3 months away from the Galaxy S8. So I might as well wait.
For non pre-order people, it'll come in late December or the beginning of NEXT YEAR! ?
No. It is heartbreaking but, at this point it makes no more sense to wait. It just isn't meant to be.

Wait 3 more month and you get a choice of the note7 or the s8/edge
When the S8 comes, the Note 7 is then automatically 1 year old tech. Not worth it anymore, unless for hard-core Note users.
The delays killed the Note 7. Why would you choose a Note 7 over an S8?
I believe there won't be an S8 Edge. From next year all their flagship phones will be curved displays. Probably similar to the Note 7 screen.
I'm in Thailand also. Nov 30th for note 7 is ridiculous

I'm also in Thailand. I called the Samsung store today and they said November but didn't know what day. Have to wait for another two months!
a note is a very different from a S, if you want the newest device all the time, you might as well wait for the note 8 or s9, iphone 8, etc.,
The pre-orders will be Nov 30th normal mid Dec. It's a real mess. All the samsung stores here have big posters for the note 7 and cases and chargers but no phones for over 2 months.

isnt curved display consider a edge ?
yes, but different fumctionalities
I've been calling Samsung Thailand for the last several weeks trying to return the Note 7 I got in England. All they say is they'll call back and tell me what to do. Perhaps once they have the phones in stock...
