I ordered mine 1 hour after launch on thursday morning, saturday night they send me an email saying its been backordered......awesome!!!
Apparently bestbuy has really dropped the ball with this launch, something I feared would happen, but was really hoping wouldn't....
I'm super happy for the people that got their nexus S, but personally really am missing the google store I ordered my nexus one at 4pm 3 days after launch, and by 1pm the following day had it in my hot little hands, free engraving and all.....
A quick browse of the bestbuy forums will validate my claims. Some people ordered their phone friday and received it saturday, while others are simply left waiting, there really seems to be no method to this madness....
Worst part is, the phone is still listed as IN STOCK with GUARANTEED CHRISTMAS DELIVERY on their website.....
EPIC FAIL best buy
I want my nexus s.....*sniffle*
Wow!!!
That is quick!
I won't order anything from Best Buy. They shoulda sold it on Google.com or Amazon.
Maybe they would have had more phones if they didnt start productions the week before release lol

Google.com didn't work well with Nexus One and Amazon is not a good choice either since they are online only. Yes yes, I know people can buy prepaid debit or whatever, but perhaps in Google's mind. Better to go with a store that can sell both in store and online rather than just online only.
Ordered it Saturday morning, and it is backordered. Also, I get an Access Denied when I go to http://www.bestbuy.com/ from Norway. If I use a proxy in the US, then I can browse the site.

it´s also denied from germany ... this is insane!!!
Ι think somehow they have blogged access from all european countries.
I get access denied from Greece too...
I think Someone made a strange deal, as we can buy Nexus S 400€ from BestBuy and from Carehouse (European citizens) must pay around 650€...
So i think somehow someone blogged access from european countries to stop us from ordering the Nexus S from America and to force us at least for some days to buy it from the European exclusive shop....
These are my thoughts....

I'm getting access denied from Hong Kong right now.....
I really hate how they say the google store failed....it was absolutely perfect for me. Super fast shipping, free engraving, no bestbuy bull****, no fake promises, no bait and switch, just a stellar ordering experience all around in my experience. Why couldn't they keep the google store open for online sales and distribute it to bestbuy stores so the numbtys can 'play with it before they buy it', and that way the nexus' core audience (people with more than half a brain) can still order it with ease direct from google.
I'm starting to wonder if I should place some of the blame here directly on google for making this terrible terrible decision to give bestbuy exclusive sales rights.....

I ordered one of my Thursday night, and UPS tracking claims it will be here Monday. Now, there must be some special priority for those who order in-store, because the clerk used something called "express lane". I thought it was just the name of their POS system. Evidentley, its really an express option.
I went to staples tonight and bought a xoom wifi off the shelf. WOOT, Since I live in Utah, all the staples are closed Sunday so I guess they opened sales up early.
I would upload an image but the forums want me to post 8 times first....

just teasin; with ya.. cool news. im sure you are stoked!!
Where in Utah? I am in Stockton, outside of Tooele and I am wanting to get mine asap..
I just bought one today at the Redmond, WA Staples. I thought the wi-fi only version was not supposed to be available until tomorrow (Sunday 3/27) and in fact Best Buy either didn't have them today or wouldn't sell me one... but Staples did.
So far, I like this thing.

Question... Does the box have any special staples code on it? And does the receipt show the serial number. The reason I ask is because I was thinking about buying one then returning my amazon order to staples when it comes in.

They're always gonna have special bar codes to identify each unit individually. One reason is to keep people from doing something like this....
Just wait 2 days for your Amazon order or just return it when it gets here if you buy the Staples one.
Ya all must be from the country. Wes call it Staples around these parts. On a side note don't you read your post before or after posting? I see this a lot.

Crazy, i was born and raised in Redmond!
I saw the model version at staples in new York. They didn't have any for sale...either that it was all bought out. But the demo unit had the latest 3.01 version. From all demo units I saw, none of them had internet access at all! It's quite a shame cuz there's a lot to show. But the demo unit was snappy and fast!
Just picked mine up at Staples(manassas,Va in case anyone cares)! Unfortunately it came with the battery completely drained so im waiting for it to charge enough to turn on.

Woot, got mine from Staples today. At first they refused to sell it to me, claiming they had to give me an 'orientation' first. I simply asked if they were ready to lose out on $600.
So far I like it. Typing on it now, the keyboard isn't ideal for two-handed typing. Gotta touch type. Also not seeing spellcheck in the browser. And typing on the full XDA site is realllllly laggy. Wondering if that's due to flash. Oh well, so far so good.
It is a bit heavy room come to think of it. Damn!
Edit: Spellcheck has to be enabled in the keyboard settings. Gah, such a n00b error.

Hey all,
If you notice on my signature I have an iPhone. Nothing to say here. I don't want to get into which OS is best, and the reason for keeping an iPhone for so long.... I have my reasons; anyways, time to move along and the Note II is really teasing me. I have some extra cash before all the huge expenses in December and definitely I want this thing.
Now, I found that a seller at Amazon already has the 16GB version of the Note II. I live in Belize, and I cannot pre-order from US carriers, but I can get anything from the US without any sweat (as long as I have the cash to pay the shipper from US and the import taxes here at home...). So, should I jump the gun on this one or wait till after the official release date in the US?
Ron
See if you can purchase from Newegg. They are on sale for $699.99.
Hey thanks guy. That's a fair deal. Thing is, I kinda prefer white as smudges are less visible, and secondly Amazon knows my address is a freight forwarder so I get no Sales Tax charge, whereas I'd believe newegg would.
So I guess you guys see no real benefit in waiting for amazon or Samsung selling these directly... I'll buy it from Amazon then, unless you have a promo code for newegg

the guy has nearly 3000 ratings on ebay , 99.7% positive as well as was very responsive about the questions i asked him about. also mailed me to ask if i wanted overnight for a little more than what i had paid, ended up taking up his offer for $14 all in all $729 paid. id say still cheaper than many of the other sellers.
Are you freaking kidding me. After reading that the guy offered to ship your phone faster for couple more bucks, I went and wanted to email him that proposal. Guess what. This thing shipped 15 minutes after I placed the order....
Well, he deserves kudos indeed. So FedEx says it will be delivered the 10, I hope it makes it the 9th...

I've been asking around, neither Best Buy or Gamestop have any orders of the N10 coming, I suspect that November 13th will only be google play availability.
Wonder when Walmart is getting it?
I'd imagine (and hope) that it will be the same as the Nexus 7 launch and recent 32gb upgrade. Shops and the Play store will have it for sale on the same day.
I'm hoping to walk into PCWorld/Curry's in the UK next Tuesday morning and get one.

I'm hoping shops will have them at the same time, but I suspect that google will keep the sales to them only for a couple of weeks, and will allow shops to sell towards the end of november in a way that may help, cos it will give time to find out and issues before I make my mind up.
no
no but if its put on sale at 12am somewhere and i can just walk in and casually buy it then i will.

I would never stand in line at a Wal-Mart. Never.
I have a brother-in-law who works for Walmart in a very rural area. Not many job choices there. The employee discount is very small IMO. I will be driving there on Thanksgiving and hoping it's in stock due to being in a rural area. Shouldn't be any lines on Thanksgiving. Tempted to get it sooner though, but 10% discount is $50.
Currys and PC World in the UK will be selling it in store. Will definitely get it from there
I, myself self will be getting one, but I hope that Walmart or best buy carries it. I don't like waiting for stuff to arrive through the mail, when I can go buy it at my nearest wallyworld or best buy.

Hey everyone, anyone got any idea how much the note 3 will be simfree in the UK I've got an s3 at the moment and I bloody hate it need something a lot more powerful with a better screen and screen size. I'd be willing to pay like 500-550 although wouldn't be willing to pay over the odds like 700 for it or what they normally try to charge. So yeah anyone got any idea on how much the note 3 will be simfree only as I really don't want to be stuck in and tied down to a contract.

It's gonna cost you about 649 Pounds without contract also worth a mention according to them "The first 500 customers to pre-order a Galaxy Note 3 and Gear will get a £50 reward when they trade in any old phone at the Samsung Experience Store Launch Event."

I went with clove again this time. Although Handtec is cheaper but after my horrible experience with them for my GN1 (I don't know if you remember it, I have mentioned it last year) I have decided never to buy from them again.
I have also had a pretty bad experience with DHL last year for the delivery of GN2, so this time I went with the slightly more expensive FedEx ;p

Had to return 2 consecutive GN1 to them which cost me over 200 bucks because the first one had a bad screen bleed and second with bad dead pixels.
DHL last time had a 2 days deals with the shipping of my GN2 and lost the tracking those 2 days! So decided to spend a couple of dollars more and go with FedEx this time
So what colour have you chosen this time?

wow that's epic **** luck. I got a 29" monitor the other day and came home, always dread turning on first time and seeing a dead pixel. I had about 8. had to drive alllll the way back. just a major mission. overseas would be even worse lol, no compensations for our shipping eh.
I went black, I've always done black/silver/dark. anything white and I feel like someone might comment on my iphone -_-
I think I waited last time only white was available for the note 2? or something like that, I just held off until the silver was available, think it was the note 2?
what color did you go?
what, spigen screen protectors are mid october in your hands? fck need a temp screen protector asap. link me to what you got? curious to see.
I was going to do a hybrid case but I don't like our already large phone, to be larger. that's why I've always got back replacements, never back/sides or even a complete case that covers the back piece.
from what I read, the spigen screen protector I got from amazon is available 20 september, say 10 days to get here. makes 30th, then if the note 3 is released 25th, say 5 days which is what I can remember how long it took last time, might both be bang on? and 10 days for the spigen is stretching it, I reckon it'll be like 5 days or 7 max
