On 10/26/10, i PRE-ordered my Sprint Galaxy Tab through BestBuy, especially after seeing a release date of 11/7/10. The only reason i thought that this could be an accurate date is because they do sometimes sell products before the actual carrier does. (Example: HTC Evo 4G WHT was released a few days early.)
Yesterday i received an email from BestBuy stating that there has been a change to the release date for my pre-ordered item! The new release date is 11/14/10.
*disappointed*
sorry, about the news. i was going to preorder with the samethought that bestbuy might ship early, but thanks to your report, i will wait.

a) T-Mobile Blows.
b) i currently have (3) lines of service through Sprint (HTC Supersonic, Motorola i880, and a Sierra Wireless Overdrive),all still under contract, so i really do not need a 4th line of service. Purchasing Tab out-right to replace supa slow overdrive.
c) T-Mobile Blows.
Give Best Buy more time. They'll keep disappointing you.
Yep, i haven't purchased anything from Best Buy since 2004. I would avoid it like a plague.
It's not bad. They offer you hands on experience before buying stuffs. But they just have little problem here and there. And I grew too frustrated to deal with it.
Thats weird because i had sprint for 4 days when the evo came out and had no service anywhere.. it was ****ing terrible.. even in big rural areas 45 mins from philly.. and have tmo and havent had no service.. so where i am sprint blows ..

I went into my local att store today to play with the display note 3 that just got set up today. When I was chatting with the the sales man about the note 3 he informed me that att would not start selling the note until Friday, October 4th, rather than the 1st as their website would suggest and that rumor reports would have us believe. Obviously, I was a little annoyed and thought he may be simply misinformed, until I called another att store about 5 miles away who stated the same thing. So just as a heads up to any att users out there waiting to pick up a note 3, att will put it on sale Friday 10/4/2013. As for the other issue of being a little dissapointed with the note 3, that's a whole other story for another thread.
I found the same when visiting a local AT&T store as well.
One more week of waiting, while using the Galaxy Nexus as my backup phone....painfully...
Actually, what I'm disappointed for the moment is the lack of accessory options, especially good covers.
I can't wait to have the option of getting a leather wallet case for this new device!

Today I went in hoping to check out the Note 3 before it came out however I was bummed out when the guy said, "Yeah those dont come out until the 4th." To which I replied, "Well do you have one on display so that I dont have to spend a lot of time checking the phone out before purchasing it on the 4th, seeing as it may be a little crowded?". He then said, "Nope we wont have any of them in stock until the 4th when the phone is released." I think I will wait until the Note 3 and One Max come out, compare in store, and then make my purchase online so they wont get any commision.
what I don't get is what carriers gain by not giving out the correct release dates? Especially to people who are coming in to actually buy the phone.. . I mean what business practice or marketing benefit Could this possibly be ? In my eyes it only serves to annoy People who are coming in to sign contracts or in my case drop nearly 800 dollars on a phone, yet they screw us around. I just dont get this kind of business. Anyway, while the maybe old news apparently to Zach I wasn't aware of ATT not releasing the Note 3 on the 1st as their website and media outlets have suggested ... I simply wanted to pass on the info to others in my position waiting around For Note 3, although it did give me the chance to play with it and realize how similar my Note 2 was and 2nd guess my decision or if I do get Note 3, 2nd guess ordering it offline vs. giving att my money.

I went to look at the Galaxy Note 3 last night, love the screen, the weight, and the fact it is a little slimmer. Anyways, the reps told me last night it was being sold on the 1st!
If I had a guess, they will ship pre-orders out on the 1st for people that ordered online, but maybe they wont sell in store until the 4th? I feel like something similar happened with the Note 2 if I remember right, but I'm not sure.

The video was posted on September 27, so it seems like it was actually being unboxed by an AT&T employee or a reviewer. I've read somewhere on this forum that the AT&T employees did not get the headphone and the other goodies that would normally be shipped to consumers of these phones. Nothing confirmed, but the AT&T website might be the best source.

I went to an AT&T store last night at Roosevelt Field, mall on Long Island, NY. They had a white Note 3 on display. I have been wanting to get it anyway, but it was even better than my expectations. I was getting nervous reading the negative posts on here, but I was very impressed. Definitely upgrading from the Note 2. I asked the sales rep if the phones would be available on Tuesday and he said "Yes, Tuesday." I hope that is true and he wasn't just agreeing with me.

I just called the AT&T store in LI, and they told me that people who walk-in to buy the phone won't be able to do so intil the 10th!! People who pre-ordered will be able to get the phone on the 6th at the earliest.
Other stores in the NYC area have said they will have the phone on sale on the 4th as well...

Web site merely states approximate ship dates if you pre-order. I haven't seen anything showing an in-store date on their website..

Well as the title suggests, im curious if any US carrier has opened preorders yet or if anyone has even heard when they might. Ive read that in the UK they will begin on the 28th. Im with AT&T and they have yet to announce anything in regards to availability or preorders.

The whole secrecy thing about the launch date is baffling given how quick they were last year on the GN3 to announce the dates and get things rolling. Still I look forward to the GS5 and I suspect it will be LAG FREE. Just not sure if its AT&T or Verizon for me at this time.
It is pretty frustrating that a price hasn't been announced nor a pre-order date. I know those are just minor things, but it just makes no sense to me why they are keeping quiet about it. I just want the peace of mind that I preordered it and don't have to worry about anything.
Given the new leaked info about the new HTC One, i may end up passing on the S5. Not knowing when it will be released or even pricing, and the idea that the One may go on sale immediately following its launch is tempting if its true.
It just typical US carrier crap, they drag everything out so you buy whats available today and they can clear out the GS4 stock they have. I just want the 32GB on launch day.

it's the worst.. and S4 stock? these carriers are putting out promotions for the S3! like what idiots would buy an S3 on Contract in 2014 with the S5 launching in 3 weeks? These carriers take advantage of non techie customers.. It really pisses me off. They should have given us a pre-order date or pricing at least. I may hate Apple, but one thing they do right is the iPhone launches. They announce a phone, then put it out within 10 days at all carriers without any delay.
I saw tmobile will have it for sure in their site
Preorders open tomorrow (3-21) on AT&T for $200

The US release of the Galaxy Note Edge is a complete mess. No one seems to know when the phone is due to come out. Not sure where those press releases came from last week but they seem to be wrong. I just came from an AT&T store and they have no clue when they will be getting the phone. I called every Besy Buy in Milwaukee and they don't have a clue either. I have Verizon and it hasn't even passed to FCC for Verizon yet. What is the deal with the phone? If they are having issues manufacturing the phone then just say so and push the date back. They announced the phone back in September and there is just as much uncertainty now as there was two months ago. Looks like I'm just gonna stick with the Note 4 and then just wait for the HTC M9 to come out next year.

The 14th has been the date so we will find out this friday.
The people at these stores are told to not tell customers when new phones are coming out because they want you to buy a phone right then and there so that after you do buy it you can be mad at yourself for not waiting and then spend more money on buying another new phone.
I was talking to a TMO rep last week about the 14th date and she went out of her way to make sure I understood she was saying she had no confirmation of the phone being released on the 14th even after she slipped and told me that she wasnt sure if they were doing pre-orders.
Tmobile's website also lists the 14th as a date.
https://explore.t-mobile.com/samsung-galaxy-note-edge
There is a chance that some of the reps you were talking to did not know about the new phone coming out and really were telling you the truth, but more than likely they're just lying because thats what they're instructed to do.

That may be the case at some stores but when the Note 4 was coming out Best Buy was able to say it would be in on 10/17. I bought the Droid Turbo two weeks ago and I was in the Verizon store a few days before it was released and they even pulled out their store display model and let me hold it. And not to mention you could pre-order the Note 4 on all 4 major US carriers once they announced the release date. I still keep seeing websites saying it'll be out on the 14th on all the major US carriers and I find that hard to believe especially when the Verizon model never passed thru FCC.

To tell the truth i have heard nothing about Verizon and the Note edge it has all been Tmobile and ATT. There has been small word on the Sprint one but not much.
Its possible that they dont have a confirmed date yet. There was a user that posted a screen shot of them saying something about the 14th or 17th.
All i know is there is no fussin until Friday the 14th lol....
But really we just gotta wait and see.
I believe samsung didnt push this phone as much as they should ,but samsung does suck at getting the word out there before the device is out.
We have a few more days and we will see what happens.
In the Sprint newsroom section it does say the 14th. However, I did chat with a Sprint rep earlier and they acted like they didn't know about it.
i emailed 2 bestbuy about pre-order att note edge.
1 bestbuy told me "it not out yet".
the other bestbuy said "we dont sell note edge, try bestbuy.com "
To tell the truth, I think that none of the basic people know anything.
With the leak image from tmobile. I bet that was only sent to the head people as the head stores.
While everyone else just works there and looks up everything on the system. Which the system hasnt updated yet since the phones havent been scan in.
I do remember doing an online chat before they confirmed the 14th date, and no one could give me anything. After they confirm the date the online chat people where able to tell me that it came out the 14th but nothing more
This is just my guess tho. But i have seen this happen before with other items. No one knows anything because they havent gotten that email in there in box. While the main people know but basically cant say much.
But we will see what happens on the 14th. I am hopping to be able to just walk into the corporate store at 10am Friday and pick up a white one, but i dont know. All i know is ill be refreshing the page daily as i do now, and just waiting. There isnt anything else we can do about this.
My tmo rep told me they are not doing preorder add it is unknown how many the does were getting out when they were coming in. They did say release is 14th and to call the evening before to see if they have them in stock.

I called and talked to a rep last week. He had no information either. I've been (im)patiently waiting since the day Google announced the phone. I was only a couple of days away from being able to upgrade, and had my mind set on a Note 4. I've been getting more frustrated every day, as one of my co-workers went and looked at the N6 at the freaking US Cellular store. US Cellular! They have it before Verizon... I'm concerned that Verizon is taking all of this time to lock the phone as tight as the Note 4, which is still un-rooted on VZW. I live in a small rural area where our ONLY coverage is VZW and USC.

Thank Samsung for that. I don't know why anyone thought differently given the Note 3 bounty is *still* outstanding. And with Android L's change wrt kernel and root...odds are it will never be rooted.

Oh, I agree somewhat. Knox blows. Samsung Touchwiz is my least favorite. BUT, the Note 4 is rooted already for the other carriers in the USA, but even (last I checked) over $11000 worth of bounty for root access on the VZW version hasn't had any success. If that was because of Samsung, the Sprint, T-Mobile, and AT&T versions wouldn't already have root access. The Note 4 hardware is amazing, we just need the ability to put different software on it. I hate Verizon... I may switch to US Cellular someday. They historically haven't had flagship phones available until the last year or two. But, there still isn't much in the way of Dev support here for their phones. What good is a monster phone if we can't hack and crack a bit? LOL

Half the problem with dev support is the insistence that every USA carrier have a unique SKU and mutually incompatible firmware. Which leads to community dev fragmentation to the max. Which is squarely on the manufacturer to blame. Knox and the locked bootloaders are also on the manufacturer. With Samsung's mobile division bleeding oodles and gobs of money this year, maybe Samsung will mend their ways.
Samsung's problem is that they went from making 2-3 high quality handsets under one brand (Galaxy)....to making dozens of handsets each with 5+ different unique carrier/region-specific SKUs.
An announcement on the 31st on when Nexus 6? What that it can be pre ordered in March or something and maybe 1,000 available
There are two golden rules you should keep in mind when speaking to ANY type of VZW rep:
1 - they have absolutely no information on the phone, its release or anything else related to it - plain and simple.
2 - they have been instructed to try to keep you on VZW, so anything of a delaying comment that will keep you hanging on while the first rule is in effect works for them, not you.
The phone only has two SKU's - We're going to find that VZ will allow it on the network (because they have to) and they won't sell it.
I said it first, and time will bear it out. I hope I'm incorrect. the only thing that will indicate it is here on VZ is a press release or seeing it on the website by magic, period. Anything else is just pure speculation and wishing.
Well, heres to pure speculation and wishing...:highfive:

It is extremely unlikely at this point that Verizon will carry this phone in stores. That has been the speculation from the very beginning. Big Red will allow it on its network, but will never sell the device.

Winter is coming...
Be ready cuz its coming... The Motorola Droid Turbo 6! It will be full of bloat and skinned in the most obnoxious Motorola overlay. I'm sure it will have all the same specs with maybe a faster processor. It will have 5 different Verizon logos plastered all over it. Of course the bootloader will be locked and we will never see root!... God I love Verizon!
I just had a meditation session with my spiritual king. He let it be known to me that Verizon will release the Nexus 6 in... and then the session ended. I'll try again tomorrow.

We probably wont see any Nexus 6 in stores at all. Nobody has the Nexus 6 locally on any carrier cause its sold out.(I've checked, XMas present.) If Verizon wanted the sales they would have already done it.
When i went into Verizon to get a nano sim for my N6 they didn't even know wtf it is. They're like oh that's not going to work on our network... I had to walk them through what to do to get my device working.
