Galaxy tab Where to buy?

I have i9000 and would like to buy Samsung Galaxy tab as soon as possible.
I need to have at least one pcs in September.
I found few links:
http://www.expansys.com/d.aspx?i=201135
They confirm they will have for sale on 13 October, price is confirmed too!!

early november
http://www.popularelect.com/Samsung-P1000-Galaxy-Tab-Unlocked-Quad-Band-Phone-p/p1000.htm
there is no information about availability but I expect answer from them. 899$
there is none on ebay yet.

Sorry to burst you bubble, but the prices aren't yet confirmed, and I'm near certain that they will be released by mobile carriers first. Clove and expansys have had them listen for some days now, and indeed probably since the announcement, but they are guessing at the prices. As for delivery date... Well they might have a concrete date for delivery, but I don't think there has been anything from samsung that we know of, so they could be guessing at that too, since we know 'early october'.

I found one more galaxy tab seller.
http://www.gummobile.com/phones/Samsung_P1_Galaxy_Tab_16GB_Android_Tablet.aspx
or their store on ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com/Samsung-P1-Gala...MobilePhones_MobilePhones&hash=item35ac0f0865
looks like first delivery will be in october. But their ebay account say that they already sold 3 pcs.

price confirmed
in clove site just post this after their address
viewnews.aspx?content=C02C0AE6-AAAC-40FC-9D63-32FBE69CFE2B&category=CATEGORY2

Just because they put a standard sticker on the page saying ' price confirmed' in no way means that its true. Its just to get people to pre order from them over anyone else.
They is STILL no official announcement on price.

There is no rush to buy this, you are better off waiting, there will be excess supply for at least a few days after pricing is announced. You aren't catching any better deals by rushing either, just asking for price gouging.

ummm...
i am thinkin about going to koria
is that any good - graping the device-wise -

If I recall correctly, the device is coming to the EU first anyway, so going to korea might not actually speed anything up at all. Also, although I couldn't speak to the exchange rate, but since Korea is likely to be a hot market, the prices could be artificially high at release, so keep that in mind to.
Its also worth to keep in mind that the Korean version will be CDMA (ie like a verizon/sprint devce) and not a GSM one, which will mean that you won't be able to use the mobile data connection in Europe at all because it won't have the right radio.

I would like to buy one pcs no metter what praice is. Even if is 1000euro. But really need that device before the others.
I am sure that some pcs will be ready on market before others. Probably like late September. But on stock's world wide will be from 15 October.

1000$ on amazon.co.uk

I wish there was some kind of release date for Europe, other than the UK. I'm from UK but living in Austria at the moment, really wanna head over to Germany to pick up one of these when it comes out (Germany and UK seem to get stuff like this before other countries) but don't know if I wanna wait til April or May if the Galaxy Tab 10.1 comes out first! Ahhh what to do..

Same probleme here...I'm from Slovenia and we usualy get ALL phones/tablet very late (with the exception of Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab which were here quite fast, so I hope it will become a habit with Samsung gadgets)...for instance, iPad officialy went on sale last month (not that I care but anyway)!
I just want to get my hands on one of these Honeycomb tablets with EU 3G connectivity!!!

omfg .eu? How did you get a house on the internet?

Just order it?
Edit: Carphone Warehouse, Currys and PC World all don't seem to ship abroad...

And pay extra 200$ for something that doesn't even work in Europe?

I really couldn't live in London. They rape you lot as far prices of electronics 399 pounds which equates to $558 US. Wow! Feel sorry for you guys.

Yes we do seem to get well and truly shafted over here.

I thought Wi-Fi model is P7510.

I bought the US model couldn't wait for the UK release haha

About time and still not a peep from Samsung UK.

Cool I just bought the US model for £342, so still a fair saving compared to the original UK price.

are the 3G versions sim-free or locked to Verizon or other carriers ?

Try living in Denmark then. The cheapest model is priced at 3.699 - 3.799 DKK, which is roughly equal to $717 - $736. And don't even think about trying to import such a device from the US. VAT is 25%, and an additional import tax to the danish postal service is roughly $35 -- so it's not even worth the trouble.

I'm unsure about 3g models, i opted for the WIFI only model and just wifi tether with my GS2 if need H or 3G whilst out and about..
I've also kept the stock US Honeycomb, I tried the TOUCHWIZ Rom on here but found it really slow so i'll wait for the US or UK release for the upgraded software, hopefully it will have some improvments.
£489 for a US 32GB mettalic grey model, not bad and was delivered next day from Brighton too. Digigoods on ebay I think the shop was called.

I can voucher for Digigoods as well got my 16gb from them using the ebay 15% voucher last weekend next day delivery as well. 16gb is ample for me Google Music for the win so nice having your music on the cloud.

I saw the Digigood deals on Amazon a little while ago, I was put off by the incorrect product description (i.e said 32 gig when it was actually a 16 gig version), also had concerns about not having a UK warranty.

Well, they give you a year's warranty and then you get the usual Samsung warranty once you register your tab with them. Not bad really.

Any chance you could PM me instructions on how you do this? Would appreciate it.

According to the PC World web site:-
16GB released on 4th August
32GB released on 11th August
3G released on 23rd August

399 ain't bad. Must remember that they add tax at till in up the us.
God mine on digigod too cos didn't want to wait either.
Might try your Google music open vpn idea, nice!

Australian launch.

The Australian Samsung Galaxy Note launch will not happen till February!
While announcing it's Galaxy Note World Tour event in Jakarta, Indonesia,
"Samsung also mentioned that Australia will only see the handset come February 01 in 2012." according to Cnet.
February is quite some time away. Could Samsung be waiting to roll out ICS to the note before launching it in Australia to avoid more Apple lawsuits?
Samsung recently changed the look of the galaxy tab in Germany for the same reason.
I know companies launch products in different markets at different times for a huge variety of reasons, but I can't stand the waiting game
(need to get it on plan as a work thing, so no ordering from overseas, ha ha)
Also, I have been asking Optus about the Galaxy note:
-Online help confirmed that they are looking forward to its release on the Optus network and to expect to hear more soon.
-An instore sales rep also said that he had played about with one at training in Sydney recently, but they still have yet to confirm release date for the phone.
So looks like at least one carrier will be selling the Galaxy note over here

That's Australia For You

I live in perth and naturally knew it would be a life time before Australia gets this phone so I it ordered online. If you can afford it, it's worth it because I just went and stuck a virgin sim card in there and went on my way.
It's a better option than waiting till Feb and then seeing the optus deal somehow fall through and the note only being on telestra or something haha. By all means do what you feel comfortable with

Got mine from becextech
Took about a week from placing order. Came from Hong Kong. Had it for a week & very impressed.
Gave the missus my 3GS

My wife bought me the Note as an early Christmas present.... Ordered Friday afternoon from Handtec in the UK, delivered to my hand in Australia mid-morning Monday.
At the time it came in at 449GBP plus around 30GBP in delivery I think?
Screw waiting for Australian carriers to realise it exists, then buggerise around organising their 'deals' with Samsung to install as much crap on it as they can get away with before finally letting their privileged customers get their mitts on it for $79/month or more on a 2 year contract.

got mine from mobicity. it was a polish version that was shipped from hong kong to australia. got it within 3 days of ordering, which is pretty awesome. they also offer a local warranty, which is pretty nice.
most of the time, buying a phone in australia is silly. despite our aussie dollar being pretty strong right now, they still expect us to pay outrageous prices for a local model. as an example, i nabbed a brand new n900 on ebay for $400 from hong kong, harvey norman were charging $850 for an n900.
just buy it online, its worth it.

I love the fact that all 4 replies were convincing me to get it right now...
actually worked too!
I think I'll order one next pay check, since they will probably put it overly pricey contract at first anyway D: Thanks guys!

Got mine from Expansys, was here in a few days, screw waiting until feb so they can bake some crappy exclusive Telstra/Optus/Vodafone firmware with a ton of bloatware, probably also cheaper to get imported.
I paid $730 delivered, can't imagine the outright price from any of the AU carriers will be close to that.

International Note II shipping on Sept. 27. $900.00!

Saw this:
$900.00!
Yesterday, we told you that US Cellular and Samsung India are accepting pre-orders for the Galaxy Note 2 and today were made public the release dates of Note 2 for several European countries. It seems like Europe will get the upcoming Samsung sensation phone first and you should try to find more info at your local dealers to find out if you can pre-order it.
Samsung says that it will start shipping the Note 2 ‘phablet’ starting with September 27 and the first country that will get it, is Germany. However, almost all European countries will receive the device in weeks 40 and 41 of 2012. It will be released with the latest Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean firmware and it comes in two different colors, Titan Gray and Marble White. You should check web sites of your local dealers and see if they are accepting pre-orders for Note 2.
The release dates for Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7100 in Europe are these:
Germany – 27th of September.
Italy – 28th of September.
Netherlands, France and UK – October 1st and 2nd.
All other countries in the EU should get the device around the same dates. The device will pack a 5.5 inch 720p HD Super AMOLED display, an 8MP camera, 1.6 Exynos quad-core CPU, Premium Suite for Note, S Pen stylus, Corning Gorilla Glass 2 and the Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean OS.
The pricing of this smartphone-tablet device starts from 700 Euro, but it might differ from country to country. Also, Samsung said that they expect to sell at least twenty million units of the Note 2, but I personally think that that number is a little out of reach seeing that numerous phone manufacturers are getting ready to launch new devices in Q4 2012.
The Titanium Grey and Marble White are the available colors, just like the ones used for the Samsung Galaxy S3. If you like big screen devices and you take into consideration the specs of Note 2, then this device is a must-buy and you shouldn’t hesitate to purchase it, even if the pricing is around 700 Euro or $900. Tell us in comments that you think about Samsung’s new Note 2 device and whether you think that it will become an instant success or not.

price is high, GPU is old....
hope HTC will release a phablet soon (im buying only htc, samsung and sony. samsung is expensive and sony wont release a phablet..).

~ 2 more weeks and my suffering will be over (on a Nokia N97 temporary cuz my original note died on me )

The reason the price is so high is because it includes the VAT (value added tax)
For those outside Europe, the price should be about $150 lower.

oh..I always thought it was a "I Gotta Have It FIRST" tax.

According to the US Cellular pre-order, it's $299.99 contract and $799.99 off-contract.

Next week will be epic once again. Ive missed my Note so much and have been in some ugly phones shoes for too long...

810$ in Denmark is the cheapest I've found so far.

did you buy the international version ?
do you have the URL of the store ?

In India, the retailers are estimating it in the first week of October. Let's see though.

European retailers have links you have in stock soon.
If you can tell me I would appreciate some.

Cheapest I've found is at http://www.kogan.com/au/buy/samsung-galaxy-note-ii-grey-unlocked/

unfortunately not, even the Euro versions with LTE (right now there are at least 5 different versions, not all have LTE and the ones that do have LTE only work with a limited number of networks, most Euro versions will work with ATT 3G and 2G)

Thank you very much for the link to the store if you do not know any German website send outside Europe as it seems to be the first country to receive the note 2.

oh yes october 1st for UK! Gunna have to buy this on release day!
Thanks for posting release dates crazeco
