Looking like August 11th release date!

It appears that more evidence is showing an August 11th release date:
http://www.9computerstore.com/2010/08/06/sprint-samsung-epic-4g-release-date-and-features

They don't list a source, so this provides no new evidence for an August 11th release.

you could have posted this in one of the other 2 speculation threads.

You know, those other two threads have really gone off topic, and IF the Epic releases on the 11th, then a separate thread is warranted. But only time will tell, and one of us is going to be eating some crow, and if the Epic releases on the 11th, it will be you, and if it doesn't, I guess I am the one who will be eating it. I have had to eat it before, and it doesn't taste very well, so I hope I don't have to eat it again. You take care Radar 5.

I work for Sprint, and there has been no official release date yet...

craigslist agrees with august 11
http://harrisburg.craigslist.org/mob/1883640910.html

I speculate that the 20th is the original date. Yet, competitiveness drove sprint and samsung to push for the 11th; so as to beat the torch and possibly the droid 2 to the market. Their endeavors were most likely spoiled when a software glitch of some sort was found. Now, they are frantically fixing the issue and may soft launch the phone on the 11th if said glitch is repaired, or can be made available via update a short time after (much like the evo). The 20th, is a solid release date, and allows Sammy and Sprint to submit the software fix to manufacturing. This is purely conjecture and my outright lust for this phone has driven my imagination to draw such a conclusion.
Again is total BS that I am spewing.
Give me a release date Sprint, or you may soon lose a customer you never had.

According to Samsung's official Twitter account, we are at least 14 days away from any launch, which would me 21st at the earliest. I hope they are lying, but doesn't look like it.

I know right? And I am one of those people that wants this phone so badly I have been blatantly dismissing all those September or later claims, but this is not good news, and is probably the most specific they have been since the "Summer" commitment.

I'm really not look forward to this.

They're probably just trying to get all the bugs worked out. If the epic comes out with a lot of bugs, some people might return it and go to the Evo. I'm happy to wait a bit so all the bugs can be fixed. It will come soon enough. I'd be shocked if it didn't come out in August.

I went to another Sprint store that had the Epic ad in the window. They are the second store to tell me Aug 20 is the release date for the Epic. But, they don't know the price.

I hope it has the same $450 price tag (or less!) as the EVO. If I decide to go for the Epic I could probably get $400 for my EVO, so $50 would be a great price. Plus I still have my contract due October 1st.

That posting is from an authorized retailer, not the corporate store on Walnut St / 22.

Sprint looks to be making all their high end smartphones to be $450. However, I can say for a fact that the 20th is unlikely, and NOBODY knows a concrete release date yet, at least not in the retail end.

For anyone interested

Sprint is having a promo port a number from another carrier and you get 125 credit for it, plus their promo taht starts tomorrow of all mail in rebates are instant rebates. talked with someone and as it turns out both end on april 16th, questioned on when the best time to buy a phone and then swap it for the nexus and was told around april 14th would be a good time after i suggested it (tho i dont think he quite got the point of my question..)
i also asked for more info about the release date but alas nothing
anyways here is my chat log
Click here for image

I will attest to this as well

i Hit thanks because you're one cool cat

Is there a release date on the Nexus already?

alas i couldnt get any info on that but i am very interested so i did ask

Don't know if you're seriously asking bro(Im bad at sarcasm) but....
They said "spring" and many people are saying mid april because they started pre orders already...

I was seriously asking, because so far the only phone I've received an email about preordering was that god awful Kyocera echo.

Im not even worrying about the nexus at this point....
i just discovered xda already has and Evo 3D forum
Its like heaven

http://now.sprint.com/nexus/?ECID=vanity:nexus#/get_updates
I guess if you put down fitty you get on the waitlist... but I didn't see a date...

My money is on April 17th is the release date.
Kyocera Echo, Nexus S 4G, and Blackberry Playbook should all release on that date. The only one confirmed is the Echo.
The reason for April 17th is that it is the start of the new pricing period, on a Sunday, already confirmed for Echo, and the first day after all the deals end. It's the best day for Sprint to release all of them.

Hear anything at all about an SGS2 on Sprint???? Been looking around, and it looks like no so far... guess we *****ed too much here and in the VZ forums!

i doubt that they will go on sale on the 17th but more of a coming soon with a release in may, sprint knows users jumped to evo or even heroc people are gunna want to jump up, a mid/late may release would be prime for the evo 3d.
also on april 13th sprint is going to be moving things around in their stores, which usually means they are setting up new signs etc for upcoming phones

Useful info, thanx!

London Galaxy Note Launch

Does anyone have any details about this launch which I understand takes place on the 27 Oct?

Go to Clove.co.uk
Check oit Clove.co.uk, they've been accepting pre-orders since 10/13/11. The buzz WAS it's release date would be November 1 - but it looks like they've done a 360 and are now stating it release could be 11/17 as originally announced.
I pre-ordered cuz of the earlier release date, they've already charged my card:, and now I don't know a damn thing!
I'm so confused
Go here http://blog.clove.co.uk/2011/10/20/samsung-galaxy-note-coming-to-clove-november-1st-495-vat/ to check out the news.

I'm not sure what they are planning to do. Would be nice with a live stream. I would love to see it and see if they are saying anything about ICS update.

It seems Clove is now saying that the release date is now "early-mid November" which is very disappointing. However, according to their Blog, anyone who accepted an invitation to confirm their order on the basis of a release date of 1 Nov can get a refund. If the original 17 Nov proves to be the actual release date then I'm not sure it is worth asking for a refund and risk not getting delivery on the 17 November or even before Xmas because you will have lost your place in the queue.

Do you think there is going to be a huge demand for this phone? I figured the price alone would hurt its sales. I haven't even put a pre-order in yet, as I figured places would have plenty of stock. What are people's thoughts on availability??

Hmmmm ........
I thought it was released already..... I know a couple ppl have them already wonder how they did that both in U K
Either way Looking to get one as soon as possible......

It's looking like mid November possibly later. Touch Wiz has to be able to handle Ice Cream (rumor.)

The release date still hasn't been confirmed. I have pre-ordered from expansys which says could be available on 28th. That's the next day of Samsung's 27th announcement.

Third party vendors on the german amazon claim to already have it in stock. However my "original" amazon will be delivered in "1 to 3 weeks".

Hm, I was thinking that too - in about a month this device will sell at least 20% below release date prices. By that time there would be reliable root and a decent Touchwiz ROM. An AOSP ICS ROM will also likely appear before the end of November.
Problem is, demand is going to pick up with the Christmas shopping madness, so prices will not be dropping as fast in December.
I will probably get myself one of tthese Notes towards the end of Jan. - the usual retail capitulation time of year. Will not pay over 400 euro for a smartphone - even 400 is ridiculous.
By that time I guess it's going to be clear if you guys early adopters like it.

I don't think the device will drop 20% in 2 month. I took a look at SGSII, the price is still high, dropped 100 EUR in a year. Note might not sell the same number of phones, so you might be right, but phones don't lose value until around 4-6 months.(Unless Samsung announce: NO ICS FOR NOTE ) aftar that you et it for free

It is not being sold by Amazon UK, but by a third party dealer called Soteluk who are located in Germany and who are quoting a delivery date of 3-18 business days, so not necessarily an earlier delivery than UK based retailers such as Clove.

HTC One On Sale in USA (Pre-Orders and Arrivals)?

With all this excitement over in the U.K. and Europe about the HTC release, we Americans are patiently awaiting some kind of news of a release date here. To my knowledge, there has been no update from AT&T, T-Mobile or Sprint since the initial HTC unveiling last month.
With whom and where in the USA did you make your pre-order, find a fully working demo, find an announcement for a release date, or receive your first HTC One?

No release date for US version yet
There is no information for the US version but I am also waiting big time.
I had a preorder from Hantec.uk but now the release date has been pushed back to at least March 25 so I have until then to see if the US version will come out soon after. If it is close I will just cancel my order and get from the US so I can also get the ATT warranty on the phone.

they said we are first priority, but i dont believe that, i feel like they are going to wait until the gs4 is released so they can release it at the same time, they did the same **** with the vivid when the gs2 came out.

HTC would have been so better off if they could have sold it's flagship phone before the Galaxy S4 takes over the Ad's. Too bad for HTC

Check out phonedog.com. They just had an article saying preorders for AT&T start today and the release date is the 21st.

I've never heard of at&t taking any phones back for a trade in. Sure you get a lower price signing up for a 2yr contract but not a trade in.
Also while HTC did have a hand in brokering the deal, they are not the ones running the program. Clover is.
I think the program dates will either be extended or we'll see something early next week for a release the week of the 24th. Probably the former unfortunately. Either way I'm not holding my breath though.

It just sucks that HTC has said that the USA is their largest target market, and we'll be getting it at the same time as the other countries, if not later it seems.

Yes, but Sept 25 for over 100 countries. If there was such a massive launch scheduled within 2 days, don’t you think we’d hear something about it? Pricing, which European stores were going to carry it, unboxing videos, hands-on reviews with retail units, etc.
But nothing!
So this makes me think that those countries aren’t getting it soon. And if they are delayed, then you better believe we will be, too.
This blows.

In italy nobody have notice about the new Note...

I did a quick search for Samsung's IFA 2013 announcement's and The Verge noted the GN10.1 2014 Edition was slated for an October release with no specific date provided. Just figures.

According to Samsung Switzerland (on Facebook) we'll be getting it 'mid-october', the LTE version 'end of october'.
For a device that's supposed to be available in three weeks, I find this lack of information very strange.
I don't get why so many tech companies don't get this. This is why Apple is as successful as it is, they don't pull this kind of thing.

Galaxy Note 3 (deservedly) Galaxy Gear (not so deservedly) is taking all the attention it appears. However, they could throw us a bone here and there. I know that they don't expect a lot of sales but still, as I said in another thread, if you want to gain loyal customers, you don't pull this kind of stuff.

Pull what kind of stuff?
They showed a upcoming product, never announced a release date, and have yet to do so (likely because they don't have one yet). I'm not sure what the alternative is other than to just make one up and then miss it?
Personally I'd rather them wait to announce anything until it's a sure bet and I respect them for that.
Nothing pisses me off more than having a release date and it gets missed or there is a shortage.
I really don't understand the current hysteria lol...

I agree, a release date that is announced but then not honored is also very annoying.
What I mean is that they announce a device, with some kind of release date (at least an approximate one; at least in some areas) but yet there is very little information (for example the price) out there fore interested customers.
In my opinion, if you announce a device you need to be able to present a release schedule and reccommended retail pricing. Otherwise people are going to get excited about your device at the announcement but then get frustrated during the wait of indeterminate length.
This is the example that I experienced: The Note is announced at the end of august. Weeks later, online stores (where I live) still didn't have it in their catalogue and asking customer support, they said they had no info about it, be it price, release date or even if they will have it, because they were not informed by samsung. When the new iPhones were announced the stores had them in their catalogues on the same day, pricing, release date and all. Today you can buy the new iPhones, which were announced two weeks after the Note, of which there is still no sight.
From a marketing point of view it just doesn't make sense to me. You spend a lot of money and effort announcing your device, trying to get people excited over it. But because people can not act on their excitement (for a long time) all that energy just dissipates, instead of it going into pre-orders/sales.

well you can play with the firmware already ;] i uploaded it to my server for fast dl http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2457067 njoy

This is the example that I experienced: The Note is announced at the end of august. Weeks later, online stores (where I live) still didn't have it in their catalogue and asking customer support, they said they had no info about it, be it price, release date or even if they will have it, because they were not informed by samsung. When the new iPhones were announced the stores had them in their catalogues on the same day, pricing, release date and all. Today you can buy the new iPhones, which were announced two weeks after the Note, of which there is still no sight.
From a marketing point of view it just doesn't make sense to me. You spend a lot of money and effort announcing your device, trying to get people excited over it. But because people can not act on their excitement (for a long time) all that energy just dissipates, instead of it going into pre-orders/sales.
