http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/15/elusive-galaxy-tab-8-9-hitting-nordic-countries-in-september/
Samsung today issued a slew of press releases announcing the arrival of new tablets in Sweden, Finland, Denmark, and Norway. The news, naturally, focuses on the company's flashy Galaxy Tab 10.1, which will arrive in those countries in August. What's really interesting here, however, is the mention of the more compact Galaxy Tab 8.9, which has been out of the spotlight as of late, reportedly due to screen problems. The issues (if there were indeed any) have apparently been resolved, and the 8.9 is set to be released in the aforementioned Nordic territories in September -- either that or it's going to take an extra month to shave an inch and change off of those remaining 10.1 models.

I'm going out on a limb and saying that we won't see the TouchWiz UX on Honeycomb until a few weeks after the 8.9 releases. This is with the presumption that the 8.9 will be shipping with the TWUX. Hopefully they'll take that few weeks and work out any bugs, then push the 10.1 owners a less buggy TWUX (we all know there will be bugs).
When in UK, NL, DE, FR, BE, ES, IT?

I'm planning to buy it from Germany (that is if i can convince myself that i need another tablet right now). All larger German retailers show that white 3G version should be available by end of June.
Engatget somehow left out one part in that news. The 3G 10.1 will be available in Sweden on June 29th.

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!!!

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?
Hi,
do we know, when the Xoom comes out in Europe (especially in Germany) finally?
no announcement yet on it. but if you look at the xoom US price it is quite cheap in euro's if you inport one once GSM or wifi version comes out
http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/news/coming-soon/motorola-xoom-3g
Expected April 2011
3g version sold by CPW & Bestbuy
Wifi version to be sold by DSG (currys, pc world et al)
http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2011/02/17/motorola-xoom-uk-stockists-announced/
omg still 2 month. Maybe Xoom and Samsung Galaxy 10.1 will start at the same time
Good chance that GT10.1 will be in stores next month... at least they are trying to start sales before Xoom hits the shops.
The wait is killing me..!
So PC World UK have a page up for the wifi version
http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/motorola-xoom-1316-commercial.html
Looks like they will be asking £449.99 for it

Article also mentions Germany........
"CW expects the 3G Xoom to arrive in April. In Germany, T-Mobile has the tablet's availability pencilled in for the end of that month. "

T-Mobile will have the Xoom available at the end of April. It will cost €699.95 and will be available exclusively at T-Mobile for the first 3 months.
http://www.xoomblog.com/t-mobile-germany-deutsche-telekom-announces-xoom-pricing-3-month-exclusivity/
Now they start the "exclusive per carrier"-crap like in the US, in Germany too.
Xoom for T-Mobile and Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 for Vodafone?!
keep refreshing that pcworld/currys page waiting for the pre-order for £450 to open so I can order myself one... ::sigh::
No mention of a UK release/price which is a shame.
Spotted on Eurodroid (via Twitter).
Samsung’s pair of forthcoming Android tablets look like hitting the market at the end of this month, in some parts of Europe at least, with Samsung Finland and Sweden announcing that both tablets will launch there on June 29.
The Samsung Android 3.1 tablets will be exclusive on local network Telia to begin with. Unlocked versions will follow in August (10.1) and September (8.9), with prices ranging from €499 for the cheapest wi-fi only 8.9 model up to €699 for the 3G version of the Galaxy Tab 10.1.

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.

Got mine from handtec too...a good reliable company for it...also quite cheap...
got my second one from the German eBay for about 655 AUD delivered....even cheaper
yeah...screw the wait for AUS carriers and also with their wares on it...
Does anyone know any release dates for the G2 in Germany? Last news I saw was some pre-order price drop down but that was on August 22th, and for some reason the 32GB version didn't get the drop (at least the pre-order version at my store).
It's been a month in pre-order state already and it's killing me so much I'm almost willing to get a Z1 instead (which has been available since 2 weeks ago).
Thanks
I live in Switzerland and I'm also waiting for it. I only know the release in France which will be between the next two weeks, so we may expect it as well (hopefully?)
It should be out since 30th september. But actually... it isn't. If the Nexus 5 is available earlier I'll go for it.
You can get it from amazon.de for €499, in stock now.

Yeah, but only the 16GB version. I'm not sure if that's enough for me so I'm waiting for the 32GB version.
In switzerland we can get it mid-october, in germany it could be around the same time. (32GB)
If you live in Germany, you could buy the 16GBv at amazon from billiger de, they told me it is available from stock.

Weird, the 16GB still shows in pre-order everywhere here. And again, not sure if 16GB is enough for me, so I guess I'll wait it out a bit and see if the 32GB version gets its price lowered as well (16GB went from 600 -> 500, 32GB still at 630).
I live in Portugal, but usually order tech stuff from Germany since it's cheaper and some shops ship internationally. Haven't been able to find better international shops elsewhere (Swiss ones I found don't ship here for example).
At any rate, thanks for the ETA.
