I placed an order today at Tigerdirect.com for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 with Next Day Air shipping for $554.
Finally got the tracking information so they might still have a few. Unfortunately, I have no idea what color is coming. After the Best Buy fiasco, I don't think my wife will really care.
It's probably Black. I've only seen Best Buy selling the white ones in the US.
Guys,
I have a dilemma on my hands. I wanted a 32GB metallic grey from Best Buy and that is what I asked for when I went in there yesterday, they had plenty of all 4 versions at this particular Best Buy. Well, it turns out they gave me a 32GB white one, the boxes aren't blatantly obvious which one is which. I could just go swap it out, but for some reason they didn't charge me any sales tax, so I only paid 599.99 for the unit, actually 579.99 with my reward zone certificates. I know they won't let me get away without paying tax if I go in and swap it out. Is the grey really that much better than the white? Tax is like 8.9% out here.
Thanks for the input,
Y2J
Save themoney they didnt charge you in taxes and get yourself the black samsung folio case.

I just ordered from Staples and will deliver tomorrow.
I don't know why bestbuy doesn't has it. I ordered the Tab at BB back in July as pre-order.
Yeah, Future Shop and Best Buy have screwed the pooch on this. I just bought mine yesterday from The Source. I hear Staples also has them (try calling them). I bought mine in store (guy had to bring it out from the back so make sure you ask). You can check in store availability online at thesource.ca.
Once the first delay happened I just crossed the border and bought mine in the U.S.
I'm glad I did.

Me too, especially since the 32Gb model isn't coming here at all, it seems. And they're all "Emasculating White" as well.
Picked mine up at Staples in Vancouver a week ago, super nice, feels awesome in-hand in portrait and landscape, already looking forward to next years quad-core and inevitably higher res model.

Too funny, I would have preferred a "Super Manly" coloured back panel as well, fortunately I'm always looking at the screen with it's dark and ominous background picture
I bought mine from Staples two days ago. I'm not using any case, and it feels great in hands. However I bought the Samsung Book case from the Source today. It's a nice case but too expensive ($65+tax). Going to a meeting next week, and don't want to walk around with a flashy GT without a case.
Mine just arrived yesterday, ordered from ncix.com on Wednesday.
Anyone else found we don't have access to the 3.2/Touchwiz UX update yet?
they are in canada. The odd thing though, they seem to be a lot different from the US model.
Also, they haven't appeared to have brought the 32gb version or the metallic grey.
I use mine in canada, but bought the 32gb grey model from best buy in the US so i could have faster updates and the US apps and what not.

Now Available Best Buy/Future Shop
Canada
Best Buy showing GT as available as of: Release Date:08/25/2011
Order Online:
Temporarily Out of Stock: usually ships in 6-7 business days. 94 units available for back order. Limited Quantities available.
Black model listed.
Future Shop showing as being available in-store (back order online)
If you want the white back then go to Staples or The Source (touchwiz installed).
At least the Source is carrying a case. What's missing though is the usb connection kit. I am hoping that shows up soon or I'll buy off ebay. Tigerdirect.ca was showing 32gb models in stock as a combo with the docking port for $680, but I was a bit skeptical. I asked their online sales guys and they confirmed it was in stock. I thought it was a mistake they posted this on their canadian website and sure enough, 2 days later there is no mention at all of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 on the Tigerdirect.ca website. I really like my Tablet, but I would rather spend $100 more and have double the storage capacity since the device is already 'expansion neutered'. The Canadian market is being manipulated for some reason, did other non-us regions get only 16gb as well? I was considering the Toshiba Thrive, but that tablet has bad screen ghosting like the Xoom. It's also kinda ugly... but then it has all the ports you could want... The bad thing about all these android tablets is the lack of accessories carried in the stores.. I mean, how can you launch the Galaxy Tab in Canada and stores like staples don't even have 1 accessory for it. They don't even have accessories for the Transformer (their stock case is horrible btw)....
Rob
How is text entry on forums like this one and redflagdeals with the 10.1?
I returned a transformer as it was rather poor thought I'd have to wait for Tegra 3?

These units should come with touchwiz already installed. Is 3.2 even available at all from Samsung?
Rob
After having checked, it does look like I have touchwiz, but not 3.2.
I have seen them at The Source in Square One mall in Mississauga. I was looking for the book case but they were sold out. The Best Buy's I've checked have the display material out but not the actual tabs, the salesguys all say it got delayed. Weird.

Supply seems to be rather limited at the moment. Both of the staples stores here in Regina only got 2 each. We have 4 Source stores and they seemed to only get 2 in each as well. I really like the tablet, but I'm still annoyed by the lack of accessories (no one has usb adapters) and not having the 32gb model available.

It's fine as long as you disable auto correction and auto completion in Swype. Also Swype seems to be more prone to sluggish text entry than the stock keyboard. And Google Instant Search appears to slow things down, so disable that.
Square Trade has decided that my TF can't be repaired because the glass is not available and they don't know when it will be available - not good news for anyone else with broken glass. But they are going to send me $499 (I had the 32) and I'll buy another one (though probably a 16 this time). Does anyone think there are differences in stock at different retailers? My gut sense is to go with Amazon, since they probably have the highest turnover and might have newer stock but I'm not sure that even makes sense. I bought my original from NewEgg when they were first available so it was very much a first generation manufacturer. And had no problems at all except a small light bleed. TIA for any suggestions. - sheureka

I just ordered a 16 gb TF from Amazon and it came DOA. The screen would turn on but it was solid black and nothing would display. So I had to replace it. Amazon is shipping another one in the mail now and I am returning the one I got. The return process was painless but it's painful to wait so long to get it. I live on an APO address in Japan so I have to wait like 2 weeks.
I'd go with Amazon. If you don't get one you like, you can ship it back for free, which is awesome.
Also, if you have a student email-address, you can sign up for Amazon Prime for a year and get free 2-day shipping. So there.
I see you cross-posting, sheureka.
Even after a few months since release note does not seem to have dropped in pricing.. Which i guess is good and bad...
The cheapest one is from amazon is around 550usd..
Most of the online retailers come close to 600usd ( final price including tax)..
Any suggestion for a better pricing for 32gb model ???

Just got my galaxy note 10.1 from Amazon Warehouse Deals. Used - Like New condition. Box was a bit ugly, but note itself was still in original plastic wrappings. Saved about $80 off list price.

I took the same route with the Amazon Warehouse deal. The box looked worn but the tablet inside was either new or never had the plastic taken off of it (oh so much plastic). I bought the 16gb model for $422 (I missed the $450 sale price on a new one by one day).
