I see the Atrix is showing as available (3 units) for £549.95 at Simply Electronics:
http://www.simplyelectronics.net/mainproduct.php?pid=13376&sd=specs
and due week beginning 28th March for £499.99 from King of Gadgets:
http://www.kingofgadgets.co.uk/motorola-atrix-sim-free-unlocked-mobile-phone.html
I can't find any other UK sites at the moment with either phones in stock or even an expected date though.
Anyone got the UK version yet?
I'm not the only one looking then lol.
I spoke to king of gadgets yesterday to confirm the due date. They have a high number of pre orders and are unsure of their initial stock allocation but week commencing 28th is still the date they have.
I've also got a notification request in at Play, and am monitoring clove, expansys and others.

Does the software have any of the AT&T stuff or is it completely unbranded as well as unlocked?
are you sure the atrix on those sites are unbranded models and not just unlocked AT&T phones?
i dont think you can buy an unbranded atrix anywhere...
King of Gadgets is now showing a due date of July rather than week beginning 28th March. Oh well...

Have just read somewhere that Motorola are showing Atrix docks in stock from early April though, so maybe all is not yet lost

I ordered from simply electronics but then I read the reviews on the company by using my old friend google. Cancelled the order...

It had the AT&T stuff but you can remove it via Manage Applications, also the seller unlocked it before he sold it
The only branding you would have is the AT&T logo on the back which you can wet sand off, other than that all of the bloatware can be removed.
Also it was only £360 imported which is a steal in my opinion, I hate UK prices of phones and gadgets
Mine is for sale if any of you internationalers are interested
I just bought one from eCell on eBay, £499 unlocked. They are adamant it is a totally unbranded device, but still show the at&t logo on the back cover in their photos. They have loads for sale though. I'll report back when I get it through.
Anyone else got this in the UK? Did it get the update through? Anyone got a totally unbranded device and not an unlocked at&t model?
I just requested a MoDaCo page for it as well.

Hi All.
i got mine from ATT in Dallas and it's unlocked to o2 uk. Got the unlock code from cellunlock.
Working fine, got the update last week, no wifi issues, no issues.
i don't believe there are unbranded phones yet, they are either att or bell. if it has att on the battery cover then it's definitely an att phone.
This is just my opinion.
Even though i'm dying to get one , i wont purchase the phone unless it's from a reliable source . Right now i'm checking expansys , handtech and clove almost daily to see if there is any update regarding the device availability but still there is no sign beside the indication that the accessories will be available in the 1st week of April @ clove .. sometimes i feel i lost the sense of the date >_<

Same here. I got burned on eBay with a G1 later reported as 'stolen'. It took me 6 months and a lot of legal threats (plus some police involvement) to get my money back...

Monkey see, monkey do.
What I'd like to know is: do these unlocked phones have AT&T software on them that prevents sideloading and tethering?

*If* you decide to keep it, then it's easy to remove the AT&T logo. I did it (and documented all over the net) by just scratching it off with a coin. Leaves no traces and does not scratch the surface.

Nice, thanks for that. I just sold my Nexus S because the back scratched way too easily, a coin would have killed the finish so it's good to know a coin would do no such damage on this device.
I may start a new thread and document everything about getting the phone into the UK, although it doesn't seem difficult.
eCell seem to be reputable on ebay. They sell a lot of phones and have 600k+ positive feedback so I'm not too worried about getting scammed. They want to wait 5 working days before shipping it to make sure I pay them and the money checks out. They are more worried about getting scammed by me by the looks of things. Still, £499 isn't cheap, but probably cheaper than Clove and Expansys, and definitely cheaper than Play.com will be, as they always seem to be the premium rip-off merchants.
I'll do a comparison between the UK ones and the AT&T ones as well. Curious if they will have sideloading and tethering out of the box so I'll let you know when I find out Moandal.
If not there's gonna be a bit of hacky sacky to do.
I have a contract renewal in May anyway so if this phone turns out to be a pile of AOL Online cds then I can sell it on and upgrade to a Pyramid or something.
Also, UK Accessory list, expected in 5-8 days.

I wish i 'd seen your post before I dived in. I too have bought from ecell. I previously had a at+t phone that was somewhat restricted. I hope this device is direct from Motorola factory. I expect delivery next week. I expect side loading and tethering all to be available without any carrier restrictions. Well this is why I am paying for a second phone... I know moto make great phones.
Btw.... ANYONE READING THIS DO NOT BUY FROM SIMPLY ELECTRONICS. I paid for a phone and then cancelled my order same day. 2.5 weeks, 6 phone calls, 5 emails I still have no refund.

I returned my white galaxy 10.1 that was unlocked with a dead pixel...Grabbed a grey one at staples with $100 off but it has locked bootloader and one corner of glass doesen't sit completely flush where i can push it down alittle just like my ipad....Are all the ones at staples locked? Is it a white thing? Does this mean i can't flash the touchwiz rom? I had it on my white one and liked it but havent messed with this one yet.

When I got the tablet from staples, I too noticed the tablet was locked. Went to BB, asked them to match the $100 coupon, initially hesitated, spoke to the manager, he asked the guy to verify. I got the 32GB from BB. You can also try to get it from BB or office depot, office max, even some people got it from hhgregg.

You!!! huh...
I held a Note at the local cellular store the other day and I thing I fell in love. I currently have a Galaxy S and I do love it (Except the crappy GPS) but my contract is up next November and I started to see what is out there and what is coming out in the near future.
As my motto is The Bigger the Better when is comes to screen size (with-in reason) I wondered if the Note would be too big. But, it's not. I really like the size and it fits in my pockets as well.
So, last night I had a dream I lost my Galaxy S and I was running all over trying to find it, going out of my mind. The next thing, I tripped and my phone jumped out of a secret pocket (it's a dream remember) and when I picked it up, it was a Galaxy Note.
My contract is up when the Note will be about a year old. Does Has anyone heard if a new version is coming around that time? I know it's a while away, but I am curious.
Thanks,
Ian
no news about the next Note, but given the fanfare this version has received, it's nearly inevitable that there will be one. just hang on
One thing I've learned: It's simply not worth it to wait for month and hope. Just go for it and be happy...
@GPS: I've got my Note yesterday, so I could'nt test it properly yet. But one thing surprised me today: I walked to a local grocery store and used the app "GPS status & toolbox". I started it and had 5 seconds (no lie!) later a fix with 17 satellites! Holy crap, that was quick!

This is great to hear. My GPS only works with a ROM from Europe. I have never had GPS with the stock BMC (Canada) ROM.
Hey, leppo, how does your GPS work with the Canadian version? Are you still on the stock ROM?
Ian
i ordered the international version from an importer nearby, and the gps is amazing... very similar experience to the above poster. if you want to know how the Bell/Telus/Rogers version performs, head over to the Note i717 (AT&T) forum. they're the same thing.
I dreaming about one too.... Still using a Omnia II with WM6.5. Got another year to wait on my contract (corporate, no early upgrade options) tempted to just buy one and then wont have to be locked into another contract for a while.

I felt the EXACT SAME WAY, because it hadn't even been a year yet since I bought my HTC HD2, but after I lost it, I went ahead and bought the note.
Trust me when I tell you this, IT WAS WORTH IT. The note is the best toy you can buy, until the note 2 comes out. And even then, the note will hold you over until the note 3 comes out. Even with it's imperfections, the note is badass.

Actually, I got it through a clever dealer who arranged for me to get a Nexus on 3yr subsidy with Bell, then swapped it for this Note. I paid $140 for it, including the price to get the Nexus
The Note has GPS and the russian GLONASS (GPS is american). More satelites = faster and more reliable.

I' m dreamin about one too. I'm an illustrator, and i saw some awesome artwork on this forum. My contract is until september, so i,m closer to get mine. I was wondering the same thing about a new version. I'm sure there will be a new note in 2013.
anyone know where ot get an unlocked, no Bell bloatware version in Canada?
I got mine through a company called "Mobile DNA", which is a store in Richmond BC. They can be found on facebook... Though there are undoubtedly some stores nearer to you.

If you're going to buy the Note, I suggest you do what leppo did and get the international version. If the Bell/Rogers version is the same as the AT&T version, it has the Snapdragon 1.5GHz dual core processor which I read is not as fast as the Exynos Dual-core 1.4GHz processor.
Are you going to root your Note? If so, use Titanium Back-up to remove all the bloatware you don't want. I do that, I remove all the software that comes with Android I do not use.
Ian
Mobile DNA is only BC, not Ontario, but thanks. I would like to get the international version if at all locally as I don't like the wait! Not sure about rooting it yet, I'm thinking I'll just play around with it for a while before rooting it or flashing it.
This is one of the threads I started when I was dreaming about the GNote :

I've had my note for about a week, and am loving it. My previous phone was a Galaxy S2, and the note feels like a big upgrade. I've noticed that GPS locks on super fast - faster than any other GPS I've used including Garmin units.

Well, dished out the big bucks and bought the Note yesterday. I could see how i may not need my ipad too much after this
I'm coming from an iPhone so I have no brand/device loyalty, but root/jailbreaking is high priority for me. It doesn't seem like the S7e has any advantages over the 10 besides screen (honestly not the biggest fan of the curved screen anyway). Should I make the switch?

I returned my s7e today and ordered the 10; I found that unless you have the hands of a giant, you will continually hit the edges and cause miss types/screen jumps. I also couldn't deal with the lack of ad blocker and the DPI was too big, even with the new native scaling. AND I thought the curved edges would be in addition to the screen, but they really occupied about 1/8" on either side.
I agree with everything you said, Rus. I ended up returning it and getting on that pre-order train too!! What whatt

Remember phones bought from Verizon store/online are IMEI blacklisted from using HTCdev. It will probably come with a ton of Verizon bloat. It is also not a guarantee to be able to get root. It could come in a week, or could take a year like the M9.or maybe never. A java card could also possibly work but not a 100% yet. Due your research, only way to guarantee root is by ordering from HTC's website. Just FYI.

Sadly no, only thing that will get you is the uh-oh protection. The unlocked version "might" work on Verizon but we wont know until someone try's it and sees if it has the CDMA radios.

Yeah Verizon is the devil. Finally making the switch myself to ATT. I am done with the hoops you have to jump through to get access to the device you own. The Verizon version of the M9 gave quite a bit of trouble to get root but @jcase and the sunshine team finally did it so they may still have a trick up their sleave to get root on the Verizon 10 without using HTVdev to unlock the boot loader. Sadly the only way to 100% guarantee root with Verizon is a nexus. Don't give up home there are a lot of very talented devs on here but sadly its never a guarantee and can take time.
I just did my preorder through VZW. I know the risks as far as maybe not being able to unlock/root., but I just paid off my LG v10 for this because I know HTC, and I will get something going. I hope the great developers from the M8 series are here .
I may be a bit too excited for thursday to get here....

I was considering the otterbox, but looking at the sons S7e with the OB it's just so bulky, I prefer something a little slimmer. Since you ordered direct from Samsung are they shipping the Gear VR with the phone? Not sure what your chances are on the bootloader, it will be interesting to see. Be sure to let us know.

Thanks for the kind words. Not sure about a custom rom but who knows. I wasn't going to do one for my S7 but ended up running my own build. Didn't release it though as I just don't have time to maintain and support a thread. It was seriously affecting my real work and family life.
Been running stock rom for a month or so now though as I wanted to try Android Pay and some other things that are now limited with root (or tripped knox). Not sure yet if I'll even root my S8 but I haven't a very good record of sticking to that. All my devices have been rooted on the first day, ha ha. I'll see how long I can hold out this time

I know what you mean on all accounts. I didn't root my last phone cause I like NFC payment too much. It sucks not having the customisability, but now I couldn't live without tap and pay on my phone. I just found something else to tinker with to sooth my ORD.
Thanks for this thread. Used to post a lot in the S6 Aussie thread. Hello to all from there
Preordered mine half an hour after Telstra preordering opened.
Looking forward to getting it next week.
Been trying to backup without root on my s6 sing Helium, but for some reason it stops at the Desktop Password. It's set to blank, but no matter what I do, no dice
Is this the only way I can backup all my app data etc to transfer to my S8+ ?
I am not expecting root for the s8+ for a while, but would like to transfer all my stuff across to the new phone.
Messages are backed up to the cloud using MySMS, so that's no issue. Contacts are on my G account.
Cheers
Pre-ordered mine from Virgin and got a clear case. Also ordered a White marble Dbrand skin. I can't wait to receive my phone. I'm hoping that Tkkg1994 brings his SuperMan Rom to the S8 & S8+.

Which Spigen did you go for? I ordered the Ultra Hybrid Hard Clear to tide me over until my preorder of the Wallet S arrives.

I bought the same as yours and also just ordered the Dual Layer Neo Hybrid Crystal Bumper as well.

I know what you mean on all accounts. I didn't root my last phone cause I like NFC payment too much. It sucks not having the customisability, but now I couldn't live without tap and pay on my phone. I just found something else to tinker with to sooth my ORD.

Thats a good idea. I'll have my S7E to play with I guess and my Tab S is running my own rom. I have found I have become increasingly reliant on Android Pay so I understand that.
Bring on Friday
You guys do know if you bank with westpac they do allow nfc pay with root right?
And your better off using a bank as a method because im sure android pay or samsung pay charge fees were westpac does not.

I don't bank with Westpac. Also Android Pay doesn't charge any fees.
On another note got an email from Vodafone today saying my order has progressed and expected delivery is 19/04/17. Looking forward to getting this device soon
