No, it's £549 there.
No, it's in that horrible Westfield Stratford shopping centre. You'd have to pay me to set foot in there again. It was bad enough when I went daytime weekday, I'd hate to think what it's like in the evening as collection of the pre-ordered S3s is from 6pm,

really???
588=475GBP
is amazon.de going to charge you any shipping for it to the UK? pretty close to 499 then!
For 25GBPextra , i went for amazon.uk since i have nothing but good feedback from them and in case of a replacement, they send you the phone the next day and except you to send the other one back at their cost.
I wouldnt want to get into communication difficulties with german amazon in case there is a problem just so i can save 15 quid.
If you have a card that gives you the bank exchange rate it's a good deal, otherwise you need to add about 3% to that price. As of today, with shipping to the UK it's €592.74 so £479.
In my experience, they ship from the UK in a lot of cases, and arrive next day. You will get a Euro power adaptor though...

Your highly unlikely to get that exchange rate unless you are changing over a grand, trust me from someone who travels between Ireland and the UK every few weeks the exchange rate has gone down on the euro side, you will now only get 78p for every Euro unless you are changing thousands then you can go to a broker and get a better rate.
Amazon.de only charge €7 delivery to Ireland so that is €595 in total, £499 on Amazon.co.uk comes to about €630 or hereabouts so saving in excess of €35

ah right i know white city alright next to QPR's ground, but i never knew Strartford as Stratford "city" mind you it's a long time since i lived there
Stratford is still old plain Stratford. Stratford City is the name of the redevelopment project for part of the area, (Westfield being the main developer ) Someone must have thought "Stratford City" would sound better or something... Incidentally, the shopping centre in Shepherd's Bush/White City is called "Westfield London"

EDIT: Seems like contract prices remain unchanged. Think I'll cancel my phone and just order sim-free at this new price!

*** UPDATE ***
I have just telephoned CPW and the lady I spoke to seemed very confused when I told her. She said that it was showing on my order status that the price was £429.99 so she didn't know why I was charged £549.95.
I was asked to go into a CPW store with a copy of my bank statement and email confirmation so they could arrange a refund. I said that this will inconvenience me as I can't get to a store between now and the New Year so I was asked to fax the information instead. Now I have got to wait 1-3 days for a response.
Anyone else telephoned them about this?

Phones4u just called me to say a SGS2 will be delivered to their shop in ten minutes.
Contract only though! Bugger.. the wait continues......
Anyone managed to get a sim free or PAYG from P4U?
I just called my local Phones4U and asked if they are doing it sim-free and they said they won't know until they get it in tomorrow.
So fingers crossed when I call tomorrow they do it sim-free.

I believe he said Vodaphone and Orange would be roughly £32.50-£35 with trade in; and 02 would be £37, I don't believe they had it on three.
As for buymobilephones I've just had an email back from them today regarding my query about processing incase anybody is interested. I suspect this will be same for most of the retailers online (mobiles.co.uk/dialaphone/buymobilephones) etc will probably all send out roughly the same time they told me:
Thanks for your email.
In regard to your query about your handset delivery, as the handset you have chosen has not yet been released by the manufacturer we are unable to process the order until this has arrived with ourselves. The handset is due to be released at the start of May and once this arrives with ourselves we will email you to confirm when this has been dispatched.
If you have any further queries please feel free to contact us at [email protected].
Alternatively, please visit our Help & Support pages for answers to all your queries.
Sincerely,
Emma
So if they have yet to receive the handset, yet phones4u already have them in stock, I wonder when they will receive there allocation. Perhaps retailers won't receive them until the latest date possible (Saturday/following Tuesday) to stop them being sold and sent out early.
It did tempt me to buy today from phones4u, but at an extra £5 a month, it just didn't tempt me enough, considering that's an extra £120 over the contract.
Anyway hope that helps anybody waiting to get there phones; I guess we wont get them until Thursday/Friday next week now.

If you bought this phone from Handtec, did it come with UK firmware? Did you pay any customs tax to Fed Ex? How long in average it took from the day of order to the final delivery to US. ( especially west coast) Is your phone Made in Korea?
Thank you for answers
I had bought my Touch HD from them back in 2008 through google checkout. They shipped the same day and arrived in 5 days (or less) to Washington DC. Fedex dropped it to my door. No customs problems, but some legal papers concerning US vs EU thingies with it, which I threw to trash... but again I have read some incidents with customs... maybe it was my luck. Good luck with you. Decent company

I ordered mine yesterday, it shipped today, and it's scheduled to be delivered to my door tomorrow before 10:30am. I received a call from FedEx today; they said something about the customs paperwork listing electronics and asked what it was. I said a cell phone and the woman said something about the FCC, then "Let me speak with my supervisor and see if this paperwork will suffice." She came back and said her supervisor gave the ok and thanks.
I'll report tomorrow if anything unpleasant happens with my order, such as it not arriving promptly and satisfying my cravings!
Argh! I just checked the FedEx tracking for my Note and it says customs delay! It says "Description provided is insufficient to classify commodity." I hope the earlier call where they asked me what it was is all that's needed and this clearance delay will not change tomorrow's delivery. But the red color of the status bar at the top of the FedEx tracking page is rather ominous...

Ordered mine Friday Nov 3rd. Got it Nov 9th at 10am fedex (weekend in there, so it didn't ship until 7th). No customs problems or delays. No extra taxes or charges. I am in California.
This customs issue is very frustrating. They called and said the FCC form is incomplete. They sent me one to fill out since Handtec is gone for the day and I'm clueless on some of the items on it. I started a new thread with the contents of the form posted: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19234692#post19234692
same thing
My phone was supposed to be here this morning but held up by customs because of improper address in the manufacturer box. My son already received his without this. I guess it depends on the customs agent. I called handtech and told him they needed to fill in the complete Samsung UK address in that box. Said they would but still seem to think that customs stops some phones just for general principles. Just received e-mail from FedEx saying the package will be here tomorrow between 10:30 and 12

449 pounds for buyers outside UK
US to euro
$449 it's actually around $611 The phone is unlocked with no AT&T crap on it. Also has a hardware button which is great as far as I'm concerned. When you figure AT&T will be charging $300 for it, it becomes a bargain. Very nice to have a phone that if you're in Europe you can just throw in a Sim card and use it to your hearts extent without those exorbitant AT&T charges. I can also have it right away and not have to wait six months.

Am I figuring this out wrong? To figure the price in US$ for with the £/US$ conversion isn't it roughly 1.6 x £449 = $718 plus shipping on top of that? Did you pay just $611? Thanks
I paid for 449.99 + 14.99 EU's for overnight shipping FedEx, turned out to be two overnights because of our ultra efficient customs department. Let me get out my trusty converter, that's $632. Subtract $300 I would've paid AT&T for contract and about $200 for my old iPhone 3GS equals $135 for the Samsung Note and can get dump AT&T any time I want = priceless

Have you received yours from Simply Electronics? I ordered mine a week ago, the money was only taken on Monday but no email confirming dispatch ... cheap but terrible service in my opinion. I have phoned them twice and they have always had stock so simply no excuse for the delay in my mind. Also no option of express delivery annoyed me so I can't really recommend Simply Electronics - wish I'd bought from Amazon.De instead

We ordered on the 2nd, no not yet but apparently it is coming on friday, they seem to be extremely slow, but they are no doubt legit, i have seen alot of people complaining about slow delivery, but they seem to get the products... also if there ebay feedback is anything to go by they seem to be good, so we'll see what happens on friday. its stpidly frustrating though!!!
I can almost forgive Simply Electronics as I think delivery was attempted of my GN this morning... I'll find out tomorrow when I can try and get it back from the Royal Mail sorting office! (not that Simply Electronics told me it was on its way or gave me the tracking numbers... and assuming that's what the missed delivery was...)
If you can stand to wait for delivery of 10-14 days they're probably ok as the price was by far the best I've seen PLUS I found an £8 voucher online which made the price even better

apparently you can get it on contract with low minutes on O2 via third party seller and if you got to thrid party seller via cashback websites like quidco or topcashback then you get about 100£ for contract phones with some providers. Plus if you drop the data plan on the O2 contract then you get the phone for about £440 with free flip cover.
Plus bonus you get Uk charger unlike amazon.de and also you get free 18-24m payments without interest charge if you treat it like buying a sim free phone. mentioned on hotukdeals threads about samsung galaxy note. search for those threads if interested.
Just Google these guys... joke. Simply electronics took 2 weeks, 4 emails and 4 phone calls and a brief communication from Google check out to get me my refund. Keeping in mind I requested the refund 2 hours after payment!
Simply electronics...? simply stay well clear.

We ordered on the 2nd, no not yet but apparently it is coming on friday, they seem to be extremely slow, but they are no doubt legit, i have seen alot of people complaining about slow delivery, but they seem to get the products... also if there ebay feedback is anything to go by they seem to be good, so we'll see what happens on friday. its stpidly frustrating though!!!

There seem to be about as many positive as negative reviews online! and the ebay rating is pretty high (98.9%), esp considering the number of transactions (15443)...
I did get an email from them today apologising for the delay (but not quite managing to actually let me know when it would be dispatched!)
So I live in hope.
I also ordered one to the states on Jan. 9 and I'm still waiting to be dispatched. I don't know if it will ever come but like you said, the reviews for them are lopsided. Either extremely good or extremely bad.... Has anyone here order from them and gotten one? Was it new and comes with everything including product being sealed?
I have seen a couple of other people in this forum say they have recieved theirs from there...
for the american above me.... you could be waiting a while, im in the uk and i ordered on the 2nd... they said it would be here today, but alas, nothing,im really hoping tomorow! if it gets to monday that would be the start of the third week of waiting!

No but it's not a long wait and the price is a pretty good one though yes you can get the same contract elsewhere for less at least you'd be getting if direct....Noticed it so thought I should share!

Yeh right, I have actually heard reports of 3 refunding the £70 recently so just yell at them a little and I'm sure you'll get sorted!
Gonna do the same here with tmobile they said delivery friday
Having just got off the phone to the 3 upgrades team they told me that although the website shows the end of the month they're expecting some Silver handsets in today so I could have my new phone by Tuesday. They did say that they couldn't confirm this however and would be in touch to let me know as soon as they could confirm or deny it.
I am however holding off until the 5th of next month anyway as I currently still have to pay £26 early upgrade fee....And they don't seem to want to budge on that haha!!
Oh I've also emailed CPW to see if they're up for matching the new deal released on the 3 website as they're still showing a more expensive tariff so I'll be interesting to see if they do drop the price.
just spoke to 3 - anybody who has pre ordered the black or silver will be refuned the £69 off their bills.
sorted
mine is out for delivery between 2.30-3.30 today

Spoke to tmobile and the sales lady couldn't even confirm when stock will arrive!
Hey just wondering. Has anyone that ordered with 3 managed to ever get them to compromise on anything? It seems they're the only company not willing to bend even the slightest on their deals!
mabye because they have really good deals anyway?
i mean £34 a month for 500 mins 5000 txts and unlimited data and a free phone is pretty good to me.

It is very good but when a third pary website is offering the same contract at £32 a month saving £48 over the contract term it's almost enough to entice me over (be it a small amount) I'm thinking surely 3 could let me off the small amount I owe seeing as it's clear the contract can be offered for less?

point made!
You tried speaking to them? They seemed to have no problem with refunding the £69 for me, all depends how desperate they are to get
our orders i suppose!

3 have recently not been very helpful re. small discounts off contracts. I mean their deals are really great, the ultrafast One on the One Plan for 36 a month when LTE is available at the end of this month is a really good deal.
but even though you may have been an old customer, they just offer the same deals that are available on the website for new customers.
i pain 69 upfront day before, and have to collect from the store today. called them on 333, they 'have no record of the 69 payment, please discuss with the store you purchased from, they may be able to help you.'
Bah.
Yes I hear you. I spoke to them a little while ago and asked why if I was leaving 3 would the cost be £26 and if I was to upgrade it would be the same price? Surely as I'm staying with you by upgrading you should be able to sort me out? They just basically said no lol. I don't get it, I know for a fact they can afford to move on this, it's pennies to them!
Yeah three look after new customers, yet current ones get sweet fa.
I'm confused about their lte. The one uses dc-hspa yet 3 says it's lte ready despite the phone not having it listed?!

the One is def LTE ready and will get it as for no extra cost on 3 as soon as they upgrade to LTE.
Just got off the phone to 3 again and they've said the lowest they can take my pay-off to is £23....I just don't get why they can't just ignor that last little bit, I mean come on! lol
