International Note II shipping on Sept. 27. $900.00!

Saw this:
$900.00!
Yesterday, we told you that US Cellular and Samsung India are accepting pre-orders for the Galaxy Note 2 and today were made public the release dates of Note 2 for several European countries. It seems like Europe will get the upcoming Samsung sensation phone first and you should try to find more info at your local dealers to find out if you can pre-order it.
Samsung says that it will start shipping the Note 2 ‘phablet’ starting with September 27 and the first country that will get it, is Germany. However, almost all European countries will receive the device in weeks 40 and 41 of 2012. It will be released with the latest Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean firmware and it comes in two different colors, Titan Gray and Marble White. You should check web sites of your local dealers and see if they are accepting pre-orders for Note 2.
The release dates for Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7100 in Europe are these:
Germany – 27th of September.
Italy – 28th of September.
Netherlands, France and UK – October 1st and 2nd.
All other countries in the EU should get the device around the same dates. The device will pack a 5.5 inch 720p HD Super AMOLED display, an 8MP camera, 1.6 Exynos quad-core CPU, Premium Suite for Note, S Pen stylus, Corning Gorilla Glass 2 and the Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean OS.
The pricing of this smartphone-tablet device starts from 700 Euro, but it might differ from country to country. Also, Samsung said that they expect to sell at least twenty million units of the Note 2, but I personally think that that number is a little out of reach seeing that numerous phone manufacturers are getting ready to launch new devices in Q4 2012.
The Titanium Grey and Marble White are the available colors, just like the ones used for the Samsung Galaxy S3. If you like big screen devices and you take into consideration the specs of Note 2, then this device is a must-buy and you shouldn’t hesitate to purchase it, even if the pricing is around 700 Euro or $900. Tell us in comments that you think about Samsung’s new Note 2 device and whether you think that it will become an instant success or not.

price is high, GPU is old....
hope HTC will release a phablet soon (im buying only htc, samsung and sony. samsung is expensive and sony wont release a phablet..).

~ 2 more weeks and my suffering will be over (on a Nokia N97 temporary cuz my original note died on me )

The reason the price is so high is because it includes the VAT (value added tax)
For those outside Europe, the price should be about $150 lower.

oh..I always thought it was a "I Gotta Have It FIRST" tax.

According to the US Cellular pre-order, it's $299.99 contract and $799.99 off-contract.

Next week will be epic once again. Ive missed my Note so much and have been in some ugly phones shoes for too long...

did you buy the international version ?
do you have the URL of the store ?

In India, the retailers are estimating it in the first week of October. Let's see though.

European retailers have links you have in stock soon.
If you can tell me I would appreciate some.

Cheapest I've found is at http://www.kogan.com/au/buy/samsung-galaxy-note-ii-grey-unlocked/

unfortunately not, even the Euro versions with LTE (right now there are at least 5 different versions, not all have LTE and the ones that do have LTE only work with a limited number of networks, most Euro versions will work with ATT 3G and 2G)

Thank you very much for the link to the store if you do not know any German website send outside Europe as it seems to be the first country to receive the note 2.

oh yes october 1st for UK! Gunna have to buy this on release day!
Thanks for posting release dates crazeco

Interesting. Will Samsung release an unlocked version for the USA, considering the massive, world-beating, sales it had with Verizon?
I wonder which device sold more in the USA: imported p6800 or the i815?

As long as it has the IR blaster I'm in.

Well, if it will carry the name 'Galaxy Note' and if Samsung would post advertisements everywhere, it might sell well.

I am waiting for a 7.7 note. I have been holding off getting the nexus 7 with 3g because I want a 7.7 note with 4g. I love my current 7.7 with ICS, but it still is not as smooth as my nexus 7 was with jelly bean. However the build quality of my 7.7 is superior.

Hell, that looks more interesting than a slightly warmed over 7.7 at this point.

Yes, and have disapointment when Samsung let you in the dark after 2. Apple lawsuite and they have to pull the product from the market and drops giving you Android 5.2 because of low salesfigures

[Request] Petition Galaxy S4 32GB and 64GB

Hey everyone.
I created a petition to Samsung to release the 32GB and the 64GB S4, as it seems their microsites are showing only 16GB (the 32 and 64gb has been removed). I'm not sure if they plan to not release the 32 or the 64 gb device or they removed because is not out on market.
However, if we don't make some noise, don't expect that to get respect from Samsung.
Please sign this petition. I will do my best to forward it to Samsung Mobile Division.
http://www.change.org/petitions/release-the-samsung-galaxy-s4-with-32-and-64-gb-internal-memory

Signed in the petition. Hopefully Samsung would stop this kind of practice that only releases 16GB initially then 32-64GB after 3months. :|
Also, I hope moderators may move this thread to the S4 general forums (I9505/I9500) as this is a S4 specific subject.

Thanks khein. I totally agree with you. I asked a moderator and he moved the thread, I made a mistake when I created it. Thanks for the notice

I hope people may see the importance in this. Even those who already bought the 16GB variants may still benefit from this as this will encourage Samsung/Retailers/Carriers (hopefully other device manufacturers like HTC, etc) that there is a 'significant' demand for higher device storage. If this is successfully, we might see a Note 3, ?S5?, other android phones with 16/32/64 or even a 128GB model available at release.
Honestly I don't believe in Samsung that retailers and carriers only orders the 16GB, as some online retailers have the 32GB on 'pre-order' since after 16GBs launch. I am thinking Samsung is purposely holding the 32GB and 64GB for commercial purposes, like releasing the 32GB/64GB in other colors aside from black and white. Or after the demand for 16GB slowed, then releasing some 'new' variants like 32/64GB to increase demand again.

I've signed this, I'm hoping to see the 32GB / 64 GB out soon! Or at least give us an ETA on when..

I am sure that is Samsung fault too. I spoke with a Samsung official and they told me to ask in stores, like he had no idea there is nowhere to buy higher memory S4.
I was in some big stores today and they called to their officials to ask about the stock of the 32gb S4, but they have no info either. Looks like Samsung blame the retailers and the retailers blame Samsung.
We need at least 1000 signatures. This way I would be able to forward the petition to Samsung. Please ask the family, friends, neighbors and share on Facebook, google+, twitter the petition. Come on guys, please help even if you don't like Samsung or have the 16gb version.

Yes I heard that there, in Africa, AT&T USA and even in Australia has been sold some 32gb devices. But what about unlocked USA, Europe and Asia? They should do same like Iphone or HTC, Sony etc, releasing in the same time all three version. We don't care the retailers don't order those variants, Samsung should find a way, maybe they should open an online store and sell them directly. I'm sure this way the price would also be more accessible than now

Do you have a lunk to the 32gb version?

Thank you everyone ! If they release it fast, I'm sure those who got the 16gb version can replace it, but only if they release it soon.
@Shtihi, there is no ETA of it. Samsung says that they have it but retailers are not requesting them.
Keep voting and advertise the petition ! Trust me, I will do my best to make Samsung know about the petition, but we need more votes. Faster = better

That is in many ways a lie or misleading from the truth I hope someone can make a petition for them to fix this problem. If thats possible. Didnt mean to highjack the thread sorry

No problem mate. Samsung already promised to optimize and secure more space on the 16gb device, so the petition it's not necessary, at least now. Please sign our petition also. Maybe you can replace your phone if 32gb device will be released

Someone in the forum mentioned it will be released Feb 24th with a price of 899$ for 32gb 4G LTE model.
What i found in some online searches that the first one to get LTE is Verizon and it will be available in March .

Thanks. I want to buy a standalone international LTE version from an electronic store and not tie to any phone contract.

Am also waiting for some accurate news in the next couple days. But i hope it would really be 899$ for 32gb LTE version internationally etc but nothing for sure yet.

Release Date: February, 2014

Anybody knows why Samsung is holding the international sim lock free LTE version of the Note PRO 12.2" and Tab Pro/Note PRO 8.4"? Is it due to marketing strategy or they need approval from some agencies?

Samsung Malaysia confirm - NOTE PRO LTE version release in march- price RM2,999

the difference between a laptop and the note pro with its accessories is that you just can leave the keyboard and mouse whenever you want and enjoy the main tablet experience and the laptop can't do that even how portable or light it is , but all comes to your needs , if you want a real work machine then go get a laptop but if you want a tablet that can do work tasks on the go like editing documents and drawing or art or any kind of non heavy tasks then go get the note pro as its really near perfect. if you are on a budget and not so convinced for paying extra money for the pro then the 10.1 2014 is cool too . and maybe you should think about that the note 3 retail price now is 700$ and the note PRO is just 50$ extra but for me its the pro all way . good luck with your choice

RM 2999 = 906US. dollars

906$ that's for the LTE version .right?

I'm also looking for the international version (Galaxy Note Pro P905). I live in the USA, but don't want the verizon version because, you have to pay for service, even if you opt to buy the device for full price. Also I don't want to have to deal with a device that has a locked bootloader and will probably never get a software update.
My biggest draw to the LTE version is the Qualcomm processor. Exynos sucks and lags and yes, I've spent some time with the Exynos (WiFi) version. It's smoother than the Note 10.1 2014 edition, but you still notice a little lag here and there.
