[Q] Can anyone confirm Amazon is now shipping unlocked tabs?? - Galaxy Tab 10.1 General

I think I might have come across someone who said they got an unlocked tab from Amazon, but I'm about to order my 32gb model and I'm getting a little paranoid about how the rooting process is going to go, specifically considering I'll be rooting it via my Mac, which I don't even know if I can actually do. If not, can anyone point me in the direction of a thread that explains how to unlock the retail bootloader (if that is even possible?!)?

I've received mine unlocked

[Q] Unlocked 16GB from Frys in Renton?

I was able to get a 16GB from Fry's in Renton on Friday but it is apparently locked (no unlock symbol at boot). I'm tempted to return this in hopes of getting an unlocked one but it seems to be luck of the draw...has anybody gotten an unlocked 16GB from Fry's in Renton?
Got mine from bestbuy in bellevue and its unlocked.
If you get one without the unlocked icon, you can't root or what?
I was wondering bout this too, i bought a 32gb from Renton on friday, and it has the Unlocked symbol. I'm still reading up on these things, so i have no idea what it means.
If your bootscreen has a padlock your bootloaders unlocked. Doesn't make much difference now but it will when kernels start coming out. Got a 32gbtodayfrom Best Buy unlocked; my buddy got a 16 that was locked. He was bummed!

I asked at a carphone warehouse today to be told that've they should have stock in 2-3 days. I'm after a grey 3g one which I have preordered on amazon, but if I can get it sooner I wouldn't mind.
I doubt that the guy knew what he was talking about though

Hey,
Just wondering was that amazon.com or .co.uk? I can't find it on the UK site - has anyone else found any UK online/highstreet stores with the note 10.1 in stock or for preorder? I'm after the grey 32gb.
Grey is not up yet.
Amazon is really stupid. You have to search through electronics and samsung.
Only the grey 16gb version is available and the white 16gb. Funnily the grey version now shows as unknowing date for delivery and stock. Only the white shows as in stock on the 1st of september.

Just ordered my Grey from a stockist on ebay. Paid a little more than in store for White but its dispatched already hopefully recieve it tomorrow, to impatient to wait until September..... £429

32gb Note 10.1 shipped from best buy BEWARE! W \Video

I had this shipped from bestbuy.com last week, It was tablet #3 of 4 i ordered. All four had all thier seals broken and this was the worst one i had opened. I opened the shipping box to find the note box totally open with the tablet just floating around inside. This is totally unacceptable, just putting this out there so you all can see how best buy is running things to.
http://youtu.be/MHMKRBYglRA
I had my 32gb delivered to their store. My seals were intact and tablet is in excellent condition.
I bought three in the store. One for my girlfriend and 2 for me because my first one didn't respond to my stylus and all three were sealed and perfect aside from the one issue

I ordered 4 because I figured at least 1 would be good. So I kept the best out of the 4 and returned the other 3. I video taped the unboxing just in case they tried to say I opened the box's and broke the seals.

Wth..... 4?! You must have had a streak of bad luck in the past im guessing.. sucks man. Yeah i wish we carried the 32 in store. Corporate decisions *sigh
we don't see things as they are; we see things as we are.
Maybe bestbuy clerk loved your tablet
I think originally the GN 10.1 used perforated security tape that was easy to break and that's what happened when they get thrown/kicked around by the shipping company. My 2nd GN 10.1 didn't have perforation on the security tape and came sealed on both ends whereas the 1st with perforation tore on one side.
Just recieved mine 32g today from Bestbuy. The sealed are indeed perforated right on the seems and unfortunately the seals are both broken. But all the stickers on the tablet was intact and no finger prints so its currently charging before I play.

This seems to happen a lot with these 32 gb units. I think that early on.there was a problem with 16gb units being shipped in 32gb boxes. They may have just been confirming.

Even if there's a perfectly understandable reason for it, I don't think the public should ever have to settle for a box with broken seals. I bought my 16gb in person at a best buy store. They brought one of each color to the front desk, and all the seals were broken. They were reasonable and brought me a tablet with seals still in tact. I later exchanged this one because it crashed during an OTA update. At the customer service desk, they had trouble finding another one in a sealed box.

Another UK retailer pricing at £479, screenshot, reservations, estimated availability

Another UK retailer pricing the 16GB Wifi only 2014 edition at £479.
My colleague reserved the note 2014 edition on Friday at John Lewis Oxford Street in London:
Notification via telephone call when stock arrives, reservations held for 7 days after stock arrival and
best of all no deposit required.
Cashier gave an estimated arrival date of October 14th.
They even managed to grab an inventory screenshot. (Attached)
Strangely, the colour is not specified in the inventory listing.
Exact John Lewis Product code: 86010167 (would advise using the product code to avoid delays & confusion)
Above product code is not currently returning any results on the John Lewis Website.
Not sure if the product is on the system across all John Lewis store or only at Oxford Street.
All the best......
Great find! I'm slightly more optimistic now, I was worried we'd be getting it in November like Canada. I have quite a few friends who work in John Lewis so I'll do some interrogating I think! No word on a 32GB model?

BTW is it 479 with VAT? If yes, How much would it be w/o? tnx

That would be with 20% VAT, so excluding VAT is ~£399.
I just received the following email from John Lewis Customer Service Representative:
Thank you for your enquiry regarding the 32GB Samsung Galaxy Note 2014 with Wi-Fi in black.
We currently do not know when we are likely to receive stock of the above item; however, the product code you provided is for the 16GB model. Although we do not have a date for stock we should receive a consignment of stock in the near future. If you have not already done so your local John Lewis store may be able to advise when stock is likely to arrive.
Available at the Samsung store Westfield!!
Hey Guys!! I happened to be in Westfield (Stratford) today and decided to pop in to the Samsung store to find out when the new Note 10.1 2014 would be in stock.
And it apparently had been in stock from earlier on this week!! They only have the White 16GB wifi version available at the moment, no information/availability regarding any other model/colours, no accessories and it cost £479.00 inc VAT.
I wanted the Black version but mannn I could not wait! Ended up purchased the White one haha, the screen is really awesome took me literally 2 minutes to crack and impulse buy !!

I can move apps to the SD card on my galaxy S4 so the tablet should do the same.
I hate to burst anyone's bubble, but it looks like the UK will not be getting it until November, although the 16GB white model may be out a bit earlier:

I'm trying to decide between these two listings on eBay:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SAMSUNG-G...ROID-4-3-/380740516313?_trksid=p2054897.l4276
I would go for the US listing, but I need it by the 26th (when I go on a trip to Beijing, need something to watch all my movies on!)
Gone for the latter, don't like the white. Would have really liked 32GB but 16GB should be enough for two or three movies and all my apps.

I found an ebay seller selling the 32gb from the US - however he ran out but assured me hw would have some more on wednesday.
Its just irritating that we can get it outside the UK but not in the country.
o you have to pay any vat if ordered from europe?
The 16Gb version is also available on the German Amazon website and seems to be shipping to the UK
