[Q] Samsung Galaxy 10.1 US Retailers?

Does anybody know or have a list of what US Retailers will be carrying the Samsung Galaxy 10.1?
I am hoping that Costco carries it. If you buy it with a Costco American Express, you get an extra 1 year warranty free. I found this out when I bought my Xoom Wifi which I have 2 year warranty on it, even though I am returning for the Galaxy Tab.
Thank you for any input.

This is the only place I know of so far:
http://www.mobilecityonline.com/wireless/store/productdetail.asp?productid=28053

Interesting, they list the "retail price" as $599. I thought it was $499.

I think alot of places are churning out speculative prices. It seems to happen every time a new device is near release.

it was 499 and 599 respectively on their site. but i thought it was 469 and 569?
ill just wait for the local retailers.. though i had a good experience with mobilecityonline twice.. they are very good and very fast shipping.

Samsung announced the pricing back at CTIA.

im hoping BB and SAMsclub will carry this tablet
i am premier member @ BB so i have 45 days but on sams they have full 90 days! isnt that amazing!

I'll be interested in knowing who's going to carry the 10.1 also. I had thought about ordering it but the more I think about it.I think I want to put my hands on one first and the ability to take it back if I decide to do so

[Q] Galaxy s2 vs galaxy note?

Hi dear,
I'm going to get either Galaxy S2 or Galaxy Note.
The price difference between them is quite big..
GS2 is 730 NZD and Galaxy Note is 1199 NZD(as its just released?)
Do you think galaxy note has that much worthy?
What do think guys?

Hi,
I think it depends on what you want. I have my Note since todays morning and I can say its more of a small tablet than a mobile phone.
I like it relay much because I use it mainly as a internet device as I did with my nexus one before.
Try to get hands on both devices and decide after that.

Oh envy you!
I already have iPad 2 actually so.. I usually play Internet with it.
Im just impressed the resolution of GNote.
Is it as clear as iPhone 4 on browser?
Or when you read some books?

I got the note for 550 euro (950~ nzd) so not sure where you get the huge price tag from. I have both the G2 and the Note and no matter what you use it for the Note is better. The huge screen is so pleasant for anything and if you do not own a tablet it is definitely worth it the extra 150~ euro.

Oh really?
There is only one shop selling note.
Probably I shouldn't purchase anytime soon..
And I own iPad 2 so.. Probably better wait until ppl review..
Also I saw the ICS will come to Note and S2 between in April and June next year.
It's my biggest concern... Should I get galaxy nexus?

Which is faster
I want to compare them from the performance point of view which is faster?

what about the performance which one is better

Note has a faster processor so in benchmarks it's faster. Thing is both are so fast I doubt it matters. Maybe ICS has higher hardware requirements and then the notes processor upgrade might help.

In fact, they use exactly the same processor, the only difference is that on note the voltage is higher so you can get a little more mhz at the cost of battery. The SII with any mod can have the same speed.

Welcome fellow Kiwi!
I assume you are looking at MobiCity for that $1200 ($1180 right this second) pricetag? For comparison, the Galaxy SII was $1120 on day one from MobiCity, so it's not that bad.
Buuut, you can order it from Expansys for NZ$1,074 shipped and save a hundred bucks.
Basically, if you like big screens and styli, the Note blows away the SII. If you really don't mind the screen size/res, then it's just a jumbo-sized SII with a CPU speed bump to match.

Hello mate!
But I'm not Kiwi. I'm Korean who is just studying in NZ
anyway, thank you for welcoming! haha
The shop I reserve for Galaxy Note is H2phone, not mobicity.
I saw that if I ordered it from mobicity, I might have to pay for tax to NZ custom.. so I would be around 1300!! Too expensive
Actually, yeah Note is more attractive to me than GS II due to the screen resolution and slightly different design!

Even if you're not born a Kiwi, I can still claim you for our country's forum representation.
Never heard of H2Phone, actually. It was $1199 on Mobicity a day or two ago, so I assumed that was where you got the price. You make a good point about GST though. Including GST, the Expansys price is about $1235 shipped, and Clove would be about $1160. Pity I'm based in Christchurch - I'd love to be able to grab one for an even $1200 from H2Phone.
And yes, the gigantic screen on the Note is a major factor - since it would effectively replace a tablet too, and has pen input, I'm willing to shell out a bit more for it, $1200 is about my limit though. Unless the 32GB Galaxy Nexus ends up being considerably cheaper.

Hey mate!
You are so sweet! Thanks for good info.
I found one auction on ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/32078378918...AX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_500wt_1287
It is selling Galaxy Nexus 32gb for only 640 USD including shipping!!!
I think I'd better wait for it.. but one problem is that
I'm going back to my home country, Korea on the 8th of Nov so
If I can't get it before the 8th, I won't be able to get it this year...t.t
as I do not want my parents to know that I spent too much money for a phone haha
anyway.... I also think the S-pen is so unique and worthy with GNote but the price..... I guess it will be dramatically dropped once I will be back to NZ.
What do you think mate?
If you were me, what would you do?
Get galaxy note on Monday morning or order galaxy nexus to Korea?
one more option... getting iPhone 4S?
Please advice me fellow!

I'd get the Galaxy Note.
At the moment, no one really knows how much the 32GB (or even 16GB) Nexus will cost, but it will probably be about NZ$1100-1150 since the 16GB model is being pegged at $1040, and won't be out for at least 3 weeks.
The Note has a bigger screen, higher res, (probably) faster CPU+GPU, and pen input for about $50 more. Not to mention dedicated buttons on the Note so you have more usable screen space all of the time.
On the other hand, the Nexus has Ice Cream Sandwich now instead of 2-3 months from now, and faster updates, it has a faster camera and.. that's about it. Unless the price comes out significantly cheaper than the Note, the Note is the better buy to me.
As for the iPhone 4S, it has a 3.5" screen. You can't get anything done on such a tiny, girly screen.

Sjael: Cool!
I made my decision. Tomorrow morning I'm gonna get Note
Yeah in terms of the spec of the Note, 2-3months or even longer doesn't really matter for ICS. Anyway it'll be surely getting it and it will look gorgeous on Note!
I have purchased so many apps in AppStore that's why I was considering to get iPhone 4s but I have iPad 2 so it'll be okay.
Thank you for really helpful advice Sjael!
Hope we can see in NZ some time soon

irrespective of what crap all are saying,,you must try galaxy note yourself,,try it yourself first,,it's too big{and i mean too big} for me,hardware is great but it's not a thing you will like to be your daily phone,,its very big so try it yourself before comparing it with anything else

Hey, I have one question..
In the other thread, the owners of GNote said it's laggy compared to Galaxy S2, is it right?
And as I said before, i play Internet with my phone quite often so the size of the Note doesn't really matter to me.
Please just let me know if it's too buggy and slower than galaxy s2.

Unfortunately it's not so easy to try it first in New Zealand, where phones typically come out 9-12 months later (if at all) than in the US/Europe, unless you import them.

Absolutely correct

Note for £395/$605!

Just found this - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/330673087472
3 new Galaxy Notes for sale for £395. I've bought one. Been waiting for a great price like this. Fingers crossed all is good when it arrives!

Its not new, there is no box, just the phone and charger so probably returned or refurbished even though says new.wonder what's the warranty situation for these phones bought from Ebay. price looks fine though. Tempted myself to get one for my wife but probably worth the extra forty quid to get from Amazon.de

Well, they've wrote "this is the samsung galaxy note n7000 new". It's completely against the rules to be deceitful about things like that, and doing so can warrant a full refund and negative feedback. Neither of which an ebayer ever wants. I'll let you know how it all looks when it arrives.

The price on amazon.de is fluctuating a lot due to shortage of stock, so you need patience to get a nice price.
I found this store on ebay (http://www.getgoods.de/mobilfunk/samsung/441391/samsung-galaxy-note-n7000?c=156) and it's selling the Note at 499 euros.

I've been waiting for weeks, trust me I've been patient
When I started looking they were about £470, they dropped as low as £430 at one point, which I almost went for.

Patience is the key. Early adopters are the heroes. We get a chance to sit back and watch the bugs ironed out.The development processes mature and the prices drop. Waited a few months to jump on the SGS II and recently bought my wife one which was less than $400 used with a pile of accessories. If I have can hold out till April or May it should prime for all the advantages of waiting.
In the mean time the SGS II is the same device only smaller.

I have my eye on this:
http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B006T2KTEU/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&s=ce-de&psc=1
White Note!! Finally!!
Amazon.de have run out of the black ones though... 60-70 Euro price difference... I will wait till the black and white are priced roughly the same before buying it.

Get this or wait?

I had the original 7.0 tab and I loved the size and portability.
Since then I've sold it, got the Note (which is awesome). I hoped that it would replace the tab, but I've noticed I've been reaching for my laptop much more than I ever did with my Tab.
Also with MWC just round the corner I'm thinking I should wait?
Another quick question, now that it has a resolution 1280x800 does that mean websites now load properly?
Thanks, Ben.

I have a Note and got the 7.7 too. Great combo in my opinion. I have tried for 3 days to run out the battery and still haven't. This is the best tablet made I think.
The build quality is what surprised me. It feels so solid, really premium.
I'd buy if I were you. I don't see anything this size to top it anytime soon.

Got to go ahead and get you one...
I for one last year had a P1000 too & sold it to someone who chouldnt believe 'they' came up with a 7 inch phone.....
Then I got the Note..
And Ive noticed that many many folks on here ALSo have the GNote too..
Big screens rule!! You have 1 or 2 at home always on always watching..
you may as well have 1 or 2 in your pocket as well...
I carry my Gnote in my front pocket..
I did carry my P1000 in the same pocket too..
I just got the 7.7 yesterday and test fitted it in my pocket,,..
It Fits!!!
ZGo get you one.. You know you like big screens.. TV's and Phones...
PS.. What is MWC???

MWC= mobile world congress 2012 barcelona. One of the biggest phone shows. Leaning more to phones than Cebit, Ifa or Ces.
It is from 27.02.12 to 06.03.12 i think

I have a few SGS2s running CM9, have had P1000 which was great and I sold it, had both 8.9 and 10.1 for short periods and missed the phone call capability. Bought a P6200 on the expectation of selling it to buy a P6800 when it ships (the 3G P6800 is just not available yet in the UK, except as a Far East import which doesn't appeal). So I'd got my head straight and knew what I wanted to end up with....then I read today about the new 11.6 and it's 2560x1600 resolution screen...no word whether it'll support normal phone capability though.
I honestly do wish Samsung would stop announcing products that then don't ship for 9-10 months, where the product lifecycle is only about 18 months anyway they're just hurting themselves....expectation doesn't hold for 9 months when you then announce the next iteration.
Instead if they announced products and shipped them no later then 90 days later I think their sales would rise quite dramatically.
Ho Hum....I suppose it matters not what I wish for, just means I won't be buying the P6800 now will instead use the P6200 till my next upgrade.

Haha OP check my sig...Note and 7.7

While I would have liked to have seen it come in at $499 and $549, I agree that $549 isn't unreasonable.
I don't understand, when it was thought to be $499, EVERYONE was like " oh yeah, it's mine" and "take my money" but all of a sudden it it $50 more expensive and everyone is like "oh hell no, no way Samsung you aren't going to rip me off"
Doesn't make much sense to me that $50 would make that big of a deal but hell what do I know. All I know is I still plan on getting it!:good:

Yeah, I would have obviously been happier with a lower price point. But when the new Nexus 7 came out and it had a small price bump, it was a pretty reasonable thing to do. I'll definitely be getting one at release.

Yes I was expecting 499$ too .... What a shame, I'm still getting it tho

Couldn't agree more.
This was never marketed as a budget/low-cost tablet. This is the (as far as I know) top-of-the-line Android tablet for the foreseeable future. I'm pleased to see it start that low. Heck, I know that's already a lot cheaper than the Note 3 I bought, lol.

If they will do the convert Dollar -> Euro, in italy the note will cost 449€.
But i think they will sell this at 599€...

The 16GB Wi-Fi version will be available for purchase at $549.99 / €408 while the 32GB Wi-Fi version will be priced $599.99 / €445. Both versions can be ordered directly from Samsung or Best Buy, Amazon or Walmart and others.

Well the comparable closet high Android tablet is Sony Xperia Z Tablet with S4 Pro quad core CPU and 2 GB ram and only 1080p display which is selling for £399.
Note 10.1 on the other hand has better CPU, more RAM, better (or at least sharper) display and Wacom digitizer, I can't see how can it could be same price or cheaper then Sony.
It's pricey but that's this the only android tablet with pen function, so we don't have the luxury for shopping around for cheaper price.
The same reason old Note 10.1 never really came down in price.

Please don't post if you can't bother to format or spell correctly.
This price does indeed suck. Samsung seems to overprice and make us wait for sales. Problem is that online purchases will be taxed soon inside the us. The note 8.0 was priced 399 us dollars at launch but can be had on sale or refurbished at 299 and below which isn't too bad. 499 and I probably would've just bought it at Newegg right away but I'll wait on reviews and some custom roms first. Hopefully someplace will have it for at least $449 tax-free before the stupid Internet tax hits.
