Preordered?

Hurro
Curious to see if anyone has preordered a Galaxy Tab yet. And if so then where from?
Reeeeeeally interested in getting one as the expected launch date is a few days before my birthday but not too sure if preordering is the best way to go.

Still more expensive than Amazon and Expansys.
Sent from my HTC Desire

In all honesty, I would not pre-order.
In my opinion they are price gouging. The Expansys and Amazon prices have been stuck at ~£600+ ever since there were pictures of the device. Sure, if they were selling it a month early at those prices, then I could over look it. But they are totally ignoring how much the device is probably going to cost and acting like they are giving you a good deal.
There aren't going to be supply shortages of these things. Samsung wants to sell like a million a month for a year. They will be there when you want to buy one. Personally, I'd stop and look at the pricing when it drops. That means if its cheap as it should be then you can get a 64gig model. If its too pricey, then just wifi. Either way it doesn't hurt, and it certainly means that you actually get what you pay for instead of what Expansys thought it was worth two months ago when they 'guarenteed the price' (ie before we learned the retail cost in the states is going to be like $650/£410)

I think if anything, £600 is a good price. HTC Desires are still selling for £400 on the internet, so £200 more for a tablet makes sense IMHO.
Sent from my HTC Desire

The problem really is that we don't know where its going to hit on the UK market. If its on par with the Euro-zone bits of europe, then £600 is a little high but about right.
On the other hand, if we're on par with say Finland or the States then those prices are way too high. Potentially you could get a contract one that costs £650 over its life time.
That's certainly why I'm not pre-ordering anyway. Until I see solid pricing for the UK, I don't want to commit to the price. £600 is about the highest it could possibly launch at, and if buying a day after lauch saves me up to £150 then hell yeah I'll wait a day. Im even thinking about importing a GSM one from the states.

Now available in Germany via techdepot.de for €599. Around £550 for us then? Surely can't be long now

From the change made on notebook.de they are in stock now. However my order with them has magically disappeared...

cdon.no
I just pre-ordered mine from cdon.no for 6559 norwegian kroner . I really hope a lot of peope buys it so we get a good community up and running. I currently own a HTC HD mini, and I must say I miss the HD2 forums and all the chefs there.

You'd think that wouldn't you... In fact you'd think that since the Tab hit Vodafone (my carriers) website within a few days of the Tab actually being a thing, you'd think that they'd have prices by now, since it's supposed to be launching within a a couple of weeks.
Personally I'm starting to feel like im banging my head against the ******* wall.

That's true
It's even on Carphone Warehouse I believe. It's the fact its officially out in other countries, so we should have a certain price at least.

Exactly. Its weird how they didn't just do a big release event for each zone giving prices and stuff. I know the carriers want to be doing the majority of the sales and they are a law unto themselves when it comes to release dates but still. If you want buzz then let us know what we are buying.

499.99 from what I hear about it.

Oh yes, been waiting for it. It was either the G2X or the sensation. I'm going with the Sensation.
It's almost like the MT4G, except dual core and a bigger screen. But it's all good. I can't wait!

Why not just wait for the mytouch 4g slide?

I recently got my MT4G and wont be getting this...Guess I will wait for the Quad-Core android devices in 2013!
This phone should be good enough till then, or I can buy one from ebay and put it on the contract I have and sell the MT4G.

How can you guys manage to pay for phones like that? I mean, the earliest you could have gotten the mt4g was like what, 7 months ago? Do you pay full price for them or trade in your current phones or something?

not true, I upgraded to the samsung vibrant back in july after it came out, then the mt4g dropped and so i bought it full price, which was like $400 and then sold my vibrant for $350 on ebay, so out of pocket it costed $50 for the "upgrade", so not trillionaires, just smart shoppers lol

true, if you keep a phone in great condition you can get a good resale value. as for me, I upgraded my sidekick 08 to the mytouch 4g and it cost me around $200 and Im keeping it as mint as possible

Yeah its pretty easy to sell a phone on Craigslist or eBay for a good amount then go purchase a new one at full retail.

Guys, DO NOT GET THE SENSATION, get the g2x instead the sensation has a arm a8 processor (even though it's clocked at 1.2ghz), compared to the g2x's arm a9(clocked at at 1ghz), so it's actually a better processor, regardless of all the other specs.

Pretty good deal. I love how they advertise the picture of a white i9100 for the front and the back of the real Note lol. But I've bought from them and they're legit, but my keyboard box was all beat up, the keyboard was pristine. It took them about 1-2 weeks for my keyboard order to arrive, I believe as there is so much demand for the things they sell.

Dude, ive been married almost 3 years now and I know the work-around for your issue. You order it and when it shows up at your door and she sees it you say: "baby, summer is almost here. I got this for you so you can relax by the pool and read a nice book, or listen to music, or even watch a movie if you'd like" The she gives you a big hug and a kiss and when she gets tired of the damn thing its all yours.
PS: replace pool with balcony/backyard if no pool is available.

Noted with a NOTE

Well boys... I have you beat

I just scored a LNIB GT-N7000 for 500 wing wangs.
I am so happy right now!
What was your reaction when you first got yours?

So? I scored a BNIB white N7000 for $530 less then a month ago. Wanna have penis wagging party?

Relief!
Coming from a Galaxy S II that had screen issues, ( yellow tint, uneven brightness, you name it ) I had to deal with terrible costumer service and I was worried that the note would be the same story all over again.
After having lost trust with super amoled+ displays and Samsung, i read that the Note doesn't have super amoled+ screen, so between the Nexus and the Note, I chose the Note and haven't regretted my decision since. Great display, great battery, Spen, and ICS is on the way. I couldn't have asked for more from a device

"Holy **** thats a big screen!"

does it count if samsung sent me a brand new one for free, and i'm not sure why they did it?

I got mine used, as new, with warranty for £300, and was very happy. The Note is the first phone I've owned that I've been really satisfied with. The SII was pretty good, but not quite good enough...

Galaxy note 3 Simfree UK Price?

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.

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.

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
