So, when the f*ck is "Thanksgiving Day in the US"? Of course, I could again google that, but I wonder if you are aware that days have these nifty numbers attached to them, called dates. November 13th etc.

Seeing as how the date changes every year, it would be a lot easier to just say thanksgiving day. It's the third thursday of november, but I'm not really sure why you'd even give a **** about when black friday is, considering if you don't know when it is, you probably don't live anywhere near a best buy that would have the tab on sale.

North Americ Arc LT15a for sale online!

I think they just made it available today. I've already ordered mine. Pretty similar to the price it's sold for in Canada.

Thanks for the heads up. Just ordered one.

I did and he confirmed they had them in stock, but my order is still in review. I'll feel better when my order goes through and they send me the tracking.

let us know about the result.
I just got a call from them they are shipping it tomorrow and I'll have it on Friday.
Ditto to what drew said
I also placed an order this morning, will let you all know when it arrives.
I have not seen it yet but there is a + to this? who knows what it would be?
ordered one too...im a picture quality sucker and this phone has it.....
Just talked to Martin at GSMnation. Mine wont ship until Friday. They have had 50-60 orders for this phone in two days. Apparently they've been shipping them out this week, Hopefully BagOfSnakes got his in a lot earlier than my order so he gets his by Friday.
Mine still hasn't shipped either, I got feeling they put this up for sale without knowing exactly when the product was arriving. I've been keeping a close eye on the internets and comparing online retailers. I posted the day they put the Arc up for sale. Unless they had tons of preorders we should be the first few. But I don't even think they had a North American Arc up for preorder at all. They already charged my CC too. That better mean they actually have the phone in their possession to be sent.
I contacted their live chat today and asked about the Silver color. They said that they plan on selling the silver color soon and he advised me to check back next week.
Just wanted to share this info in case people are interested in the silver like I am.

I spoke to the SE folks last month and they mentioned that they did not have a release date for the US. They mentioned that it was going on sale in Canada towards the end of April and that an unlocked version would be available in Canada towards the mid-end May timeframe.
Hopefully, the information I got was incorrect and you guys get your phone soon!

I am sure you can exchange it, can't you?
For whoever ordered this, I should say what they are selling is Rogers branded phone.
+probably no US warranties.

um, release date is Friday not Thurs ?

I remember specifically on Engadget and now when Google numerous sites say June 16th. But yet now I'm hearing the 17th ? Which is pretty bananas as I took off Thursday working a double Friday.
I've always heard it was the 17th, on Friday.
Here is the press release from samsung.com.
http://www.samsung.com/us/news/newsRead.do?news_seq=19862&page=1&gltype=localnews
"Premium Android Honeycomb Tablet with Ultra-slim, Lightweight Design and Brilliant 10-inch Touchscreen Available Exclusively at Best Buy Union Square Store in New York City Starting June 8; Available Nationwide Starting June 17"
Though maybe you could get lucky and find a retailer that starts selling early?
PS. Maybe online retailers will start shipping on the 16th so that it could arrive at customers homes by the 17th?

Idk I'm not retarded I feel that way. But if you even Google Samsung 10.1 June 16th many sites say its the release date. Honestly I have been tabletless for over a month waiting if retailers sell out Friday while I work a double I'm gonna have to get a f***king Xoom

oN Engadget the day it was released in NYC on the eighth. Its hard to find exact URL I'm using my cell
No worries, I hadn't heard anything about the 16th until you mentioned it. The sooner the better, depending on price though.
no it's been the 17th. i just hope that samsung doesn't pull another fast one and make it a release for New Jersey only now, and push the "official" release again another week

(With Extreme Sarcasm) What on earth would make you think a company would ever try to do something like that??
I mean gosh that would be like telling everybody the update for your phone you made is coming soon then releasing it six months later.
Or like vague references to Dual Application Processor and then start using the actual brand name a few days before launch.
Or like telling everyone your tablet you make is launching on a specific date only to launch in one store that date and pushing back the full launch one week
Or like telling everyone that folks in your one store launch can only have one specific model after they lined up after hearing about your one store launch two-step move.....
Or like showing an MicroSD card slot on your tablet at every conference and uTube video only to launch without one and require a non existant cellular radio version purchase to *possibly* have a MicroSD card slot.
(And I preordered a Galaxy Tab. I guess Samsung is to me what a abusive white trash husband is to his spouse. Beat me as you may, I will always come back....)

Meh. The only **** move Sammy pulled was not disclosing that the NY pre-sale was limited to the white 16GB model. None of the other stuff is unusual, let alone worthy of whining.
Can we expect the device to be instore on 17th ?

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.

Clove are saying it could be "early-mid November" so it could be earlier than 17 Nov.

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.
Sent from my HD2 using XDA App
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.
Here is a site giving more details of the London Launch.

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.

[Poll] I successfully preordered mine on what day

Just curious when everyone got their preorders in (or haven't). I wonder if google is periodically adding inventory now, or if that period of time is over.
Successfully completed my Preorder on Oct 29th
(Blue 32gb)
No fricken Nexus6 Inventory available on any of those days so far....
Preordered 32 gb Cloud White on Oct 29.
It looks like they probably aren't trickling them out, given the answers to the poll. I'm going to try to not obsess over it and grab one on Day-1, now.
The 32gb blue was available in the afternoon today for a minute and couple days ago at 3:30 am.
Pre-ordered 64gb white on 10/29
I ordered mines on the 29th and my bank has had a pending payment listed 10/29 and my order still says leaves warehouse 11/21
i have not been able to preroder and gave up finally...
I have been popping on to the play store site to check and see if there's activity at different times of the day and night and I have not seen any change....other than the removal of the 6 months free music reference. I'm hoping with the 2 week turnaround of the N9 from pre-order to available stock on the website the N6 will follow suit????
w00t! Snagged one about 30 minutes ago.
It's White. I preferred Midnight Blue but it'll do. Did get 64 GB though.
what a **** pre-order.!!!
If you don't mind me asking, what time of day in what time zone were you able to preorder?

Says 11/21 just like everyone else's. I think they'll ship this week though, or maybe Monday.
The ones that are briefly coming available are probably because a few people are canceling their pre-orders.

White only?!!!!

It's available now in their own site... in white ONLY!!!Colors coming in mid September?...Why didn't they let people know that upfront? That's not good Huawei if you wanna be trusted....
That is disappointing..would have been nice if they definitely told people that.
Well I pre-ordered my phone a couple weeks ago and the release dates were pretty clear for each colour.

Can't say I took a look at the pre-order there...in that case, yaaaa lol
I'm okay with this. By the time the blue is available there should be some decent in-depth reviews to help make my decision to buy.
someone in my country is already selling this as early as early august .. and he have gold blue and black and white i guess.
