Hi,
Can anybody tell me where I can find some demo units for this thing?
I went to a Verizon store, AT&T and Best Buy this past weekend and nobody has it on display.
This thing comes out on 24th right? I think Samsung is fumbling by not having demos ahead of time...
I've been looking for them as well, but my understanding is that Samsung is having a big party/announcement on the 24th, not necessarily releasing that day though. T-Mobiles are supposedly starting to sell on the 25th, but I haven't seen a release date for AT&T as of yet. Also I went to Costco and they said they believe they'll be getting them to sell right away which I'm hoping is the case as they always come with free stuffs (car charger and case usually.)
they aren't available until the 25th it's so painful waiting!!
I brought my international Note 2 into an AT&T store today to get a micro-SIM. They crowded around me like a bunch of wild dogs.
So they have never seen it. There's your answer as to whether they have demos in-store. Hint: not yet.
dammit,
someone please update here when demo units are spotted in store, thanks!!
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.

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!
asked about availability at the Samsung flagship store in Metrotown.
"we have no idea."
anyone have a confirmed date for Canada?
Sadly no. Samsung has really dropped the ball on the Canadian launch, and they wonder why Apple does so much better than them. How about not sucking at launching simultaneously everywhere? It's funny how the new iPad has been announced much later than the note and will be available earlier than the note here.
Anyway there's been some retailers that have the note popping up on their stores:

A while ago, Samsung Canada said 'Some time in November', so there's your best approximation to whatever the hell that means.
released in Canada
http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product...spx?path=c89c495a2da1bbb08734d66e905e8474en02
but NO PERKS? wth, Samsung!
Bestbuy in Canada had them in stock a few days back and I ordered one right away. However there has been no change in my order status in all this time so I think they quite possibly don't have them available yet.
http://www.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-note-101-2014-edition-lands-canada-november-8
apparently the release date is tmrw.
and there ARE perks.
if you can call them that.
• $20 Samsung Apps gift card
• Three months of free streaming music with Rdio
• Two free e-books from the bestselling For Dummies series
• 50 GB of secure cloud storage for two years with Dropbox
i guess the Dropbox extension is decent though.
Out of all possible perks, 2 books for Dummies? Who was in charge of marketing in Samsung's Canadian office, kids from South Park?

makes you wonder who Sammy is marketing this tablet to in Canada.
what would be better:
- six months of Netflix
- $50 for Google Play
- free book cover if you buy before December
you know, useful stuff.

That is odd. I bought mine at BestBuy in Kitchener, Ontario on Tuesday. I was originally holding out for the Asus TF701T, but with no release date in sight for Canada, I went googling and saw something positive for this tablet and went to bestbuy to see if it was out yet. Did a search, they showed stock, and I went and bought it. It was behind the counter as they had not stocked it yet, but they did have them.
EDIT: Correction, it was Future Shop I bought it at.
Late this afternoon Best Buy Canada had 20 available on their web page. Tried to order again and it went through so maybe this time I will get one.
Sold out in a couple of hours.
Best Buy store availability in Vancouver is zero presently.
NICE RELEASE STRATEGY SAMSUNG. what, they shipped like 40 tablets to all of Metro Vancouver?

Like some other thread stated, BB/FS started selling them in-store Nov. 1st.
I dropped by my local BB in vancouver on the 2nd and the employee said they had "stacks" in the back,
they just never got around to listing them in the online stock check since the 8th was the official samsung canada release date.
Went back today to get an exchange and they were out of stock, but it probably shouldn't take more than 1-2 weeks for them to restock.....
Hopefully.

It seemed more like they had 20 available for the whole country.
I dread ordering online from Best Buy as they are so slow to ship. I imagine there will be stock showing up in stores by next Tuesday and my order will not have budged,

The S-pen is loose in the silo (when inserted with the button facing upwards, snug when button faces downwards),
so it sometimes becomes loose when the tablet tilted and lightly shaken and it auto-wakes the screen,
which would kill battery life if it inadvertently turned on while in my bag
Alot of Best Buys in Vancouver are restocked (but not listed as in stock on website)
just exchanged mine cause of the loose S-pen.
No problems with the new unit from early testing
NCIX has them in stock too if anyone is up north is still looking for this tab ~
still waiting to pull the trigger (not that low stock in Metro Van is helping) ... any guesses on whether any of the carriers will get the LTE model? and when? rumour is that Verizon is testing, wonder if Telus or Rogers is doing the same?
I pre ordered the international version before the recall but B&H has but the phone on back order. Does anyone know a reliable website to buy a fixed one?
I bought the FD from Mobyshop, www.mobyshop.com.sg/shop/shop-phones/brands/samsung/samsung-galaxy-note-7.html

Of course. Look for the thread called "Are the N930FD battery issues-free?" there is a lot of information about people who bought there, including Canadians

Darn now that production of the note 7 has stopped. I'm wondering if I need to get a refund for my order. My phone is in the mail I have yet to receive it. Has anyone tried returning the phone back to mobyshop?
Should i refuse to accept and have it sent back to seller?
I loved the note series but if this is the end of the note 7. I may not want to buy a new unsupported device that may become obsolete in the coming days.
Anyone else in the same predicament? Thoughts?

I contacted mobyshop today and they said they were still waiting on information from Samsung Singapore before proceeding. I'm going to give them another few days to see how this all plays out.
It's a damn shame, they were great to deal with and the Note7 is the best phone I've ever used by far.

Please keep us updated. I just received the phone today. But I'm not going to be using it til i get clarification if there will be continued support for the note 7 or if it's done.
I'm still using the original note 7 ver.1 lol. Got the replacement ver.2. Then sold it because i wanted an exynos instead of the snapdragon. Was gonna send out ver.1 after I got the safe exynos version.
And now im stuck with the phone through an international seller lol.
Please keep us posted on how it all plays out with mobyshop as id be interested on how they would deal with us international buyers.
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
www.gsmarena.com
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 ?
