I placed an order today at Tigerdirect.com for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 with Next Day Air shipping for $554.
Finally got the tracking information so they might still have a few. Unfortunately, I have no idea what color is coming. After the Best Buy fiasco, I don't think my wife will really care.
It's probably Black. I've only seen Best Buy selling the white ones in the US.
Anybody who bought the Tab from Costco just recently, can you tell me which color did you get shipped with 32 GB version? I don't see any color selection on the Costco ordering page.
Thank you
My costco only has the Acer, I wish they had the GT.

It's the gun metal grey. BTW, the cost for express ship to the east coast was $4.70, and cut 4 days off of the pack and deliver time.
Grey for me as well.
Just got an email and once again it's a delay:
Thank you for your recent order at BestBuy.ca! We just wanted to inform you that your pre-order item(s) is currently awaiting the release date. You will receive a Shipment Notice email as soon as inventory is ready.
This order contains:
Items(s) Currently On Order: Release Date
Samsung 16GB Galaxy Tab 10.1 with Wi-Fi 09 Sep, 2011
This is the 5th delay!
I bought 2 today at the source in Cambridge.

I just ordered from Staples and will deliver tomorrow.
I don't know why bestbuy doesn't has it. I ordered the Tab at BB back in July as pre-order.
Yeah, Future Shop and Best Buy have screwed the pooch on this. I just bought mine yesterday from The Source. I hear Staples also has them (try calling them). I bought mine in store (guy had to bring it out from the back so make sure you ask). You can check in store availability online at thesource.ca.
Once the first delay happened I just crossed the border and bought mine in the U.S.
I'm glad I did.

Me too, especially since the 32Gb model isn't coming here at all, it seems. And they're all "Emasculating White" as well.
Picked mine up at Staples in Vancouver a week ago, super nice, feels awesome in-hand in portrait and landscape, already looking forward to next years quad-core and inevitably higher res model.

Too funny, I would have preferred a "Super Manly" coloured back panel as well, fortunately I'm always looking at the screen with it's dark and ominous background picture
I bought mine from Staples two days ago. I'm not using any case, and it feels great in hands. However I bought the Samsung Book case from the Source today. It's a nice case but too expensive ($65+tax). Going to a meeting next week, and don't want to walk around with a flashy GT without a case.
Mine just arrived yesterday, ordered from ncix.com on Wednesday.
Anyone else found we don't have access to the 3.2/Touchwiz UX update yet?
they are in canada. The odd thing though, they seem to be a lot different from the US model.
Also, they haven't appeared to have brought the 32gb version or the metallic grey.
I use mine in canada, but bought the 32gb grey model from best buy in the US so i could have faster updates and the US apps and what not.

Now Available Best Buy/Future Shop
Canada
Best Buy showing GT as available as of: Release Date:08/25/2011
Order Online:
Temporarily Out of Stock: usually ships in 6-7 business days. 94 units available for back order. Limited Quantities available.
Black model listed.
Future Shop showing as being available in-store (back order online)
If you want the white back then go to Staples or The Source (touchwiz installed).
At least the Source is carrying a case. What's missing though is the usb connection kit. I am hoping that shows up soon or I'll buy off ebay. Tigerdirect.ca was showing 32gb models in stock as a combo with the docking port for $680, but I was a bit skeptical. I asked their online sales guys and they confirmed it was in stock. I thought it was a mistake they posted this on their canadian website and sure enough, 2 days later there is no mention at all of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 on the Tigerdirect.ca website. I really like my Tablet, but I would rather spend $100 more and have double the storage capacity since the device is already 'expansion neutered'. The Canadian market is being manipulated for some reason, did other non-us regions get only 16gb as well? I was considering the Toshiba Thrive, but that tablet has bad screen ghosting like the Xoom. It's also kinda ugly... but then it has all the ports you could want... The bad thing about all these android tablets is the lack of accessories carried in the stores.. I mean, how can you launch the Galaxy Tab in Canada and stores like staples don't even have 1 accessory for it. They don't even have accessories for the Transformer (their stock case is horrible btw)....
Rob
How is text entry on forums like this one and redflagdeals with the 10.1?
I returned a transformer as it was rather poor thought I'd have to wait for Tegra 3?

These units should come with touchwiz already installed. Is 3.2 even available at all from Samsung?
Rob
After having checked, it does look like I have touchwiz, but not 3.2.
I have seen them at The Source in Square One mall in Mississauga. I was looking for the book case but they were sold out. The Best Buy's I've checked have the display material out but not the actual tabs, the salesguys all say it got delayed. Weird.

Supply seems to be rather limited at the moment. Both of the staples stores here in Regina only got 2 each. We have 4 Source stores and they seemed to only get 2 in each as well. I really like the tablet, but I'm still annoyed by the lack of accessories (no one has usb adapters) and not having the 32gb model available.

It's fine as long as you disable auto correction and auto completion in Swype. Also Swype seems to be more prone to sluggish text entry than the stock keyboard. And Google Instant Search appears to slow things down, so disable that.
As title... I see that a couple of UK retailers have got the Note 8 at £199...down some £100...
Is this an indication of a new version on the same lines as the 10.1 2014 edition?
Sent from my Galaxy Note 3
Hopefully, however quite a few retailers have put the price back up i, e John Lewis, and its only available from Amazon UK from 3rd party sellers.
Lets hope the 2014 Note 8 comes with some stellar specs.
I will be keeping an eye on CES for possible announcements
Sent from Miss Diva's Note 2
Price drop was also noticed in the Netherlands.. Bought myself a Note 8.0 for €189, normally it costs around €329, quite a good deal imho:angel:

I just pre ordered the new Galaxy Tab PRO 8.4 - 16GB - White at best buy. Supposed to ship around the 14th of this month....I can't wait. $399. I actually canceled my order. I really want a note!
ON SALE HERE IN CANADA TOO AT 3 MAJOR BOX STORES For $329 WIFI Version
Galaxy Tab PRO 8.4 - 16GB - White at best buy in store today! Why do we have to pay $399 and Canada gets it for $329???
Does anyone know where I can get the Tab Pro in Canada? Bestbuy and NCIX both have pre order options for Jan 28. I just sold my LG G Pad and need something ASAP.
I am located in Toronto. I checked everywhere and no luck. Amazon US will not ship to Canada with this device either.
thanks
What size and color are you looking for? BH Photo ships to Canada. I really wanted a Black 8.4 so i pre-ordered from them. I think they have the white 10.1 in stock. Too bad the b black 8.4 does not seem to be available on release in Canada at least I can't find it listed anywhere.

The 8.4 as well. I want black too!
I have never ordered from BH, are they reputable?
Also what is with the $85 customs clearance? I've ordered from Amazon and other companies from US to Canada (Tigerdirect for example) and there is never customs clearance fees.
