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.
Samsung Bookcase $54.99 TheSource !
The Samsung Bookcase for the GT 10.1 is on sale until August 31st at TheSource,. Check the back of this week's flyer )on-line flyer) as website is not showing the sale price.

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.
This is a bit late, but I've been kicking myself since Black Friday, as I set my wife up on two machines and myself on two machines to pick up the Thrive 8GB for $199.
She managed to get one, but for me, it stalled when loading the CC page, hung and eventually let me buy it, only to see an out of stock email about 15 minutes later...
I'm trying to see how many thrives were out there? Looked on fatwallet and the ultra secret black friday sale thread jokingly said there were only 5. If so, I don't feel so bad
So if you're one of the lucky few or know of someone that was, please tell, to help my bruised ego
P.S. Love dalepi's ROMs
Well, thank you. It is an honor to have a Senior Mod say that.
I didnt get that one...but did manage to get a Toshiba Thrive 8gb for my son for Christmas ...Black Friday at Best buy. But it was 279.00. I was kind of disappointed at the 8gb...but I felt the price was decent. I bought one for myself too!
I too missed out on the NewEgg deal, but picked one up from amazon for the same price around 5pm on BF.
Hopefully there are more of us on here.
I got one from Newegg for $199.
was trying to snag one up for my mother, I do hope there was only 5 in stock, that way i dont feel bad for not getting one.
Unfortunately I didnt. I too bought it from best buy. I was able to nab one when the workers told me that they didnt have any asus and for awhile said they had no thrives. Makes me believe they hid a few for themselves. I dont need 8gb and love the full hdmi and usb. I just use it for a media center and browsing online with some other apps. All in all i love it.

I've got one of the Newegg 8gb models. I had my eye on the Thrive for a while - so when doing Black Friday stuff I saw it go up on fatwallet - I camped out in front of the PC for it.
Basically I made sure my newegg account was logged in, made sure my shipping/CC info was ready to go, and got ready. It was basically click-click-click-click-stupid Mastercard verification-click.
finally out! anyone else jumping boats? got the 32gb black version sadly need to way until it leaves warehouse nov 8th =(
I have ordered the black 32gb one too, will be giving my HTC One the my wife.
No, I like my One and Sense. I will stay with my One until at least spring 2014 when we will see the next generation of phones shipping or I might even hold on to it until fall 2014 to finally be able to grab the latest top phablet
i bought a red one today

Off topic to this device. This is HTC One section in case you didn't know .
Is any one in here waiting to preorder the tab pro 12.2? Amazon has the 32gb in black up for preorder but still doesn't say when its going to be available. The white one is still not up for preorder yet though.

Ordered one yesterday. B&H Photos stated about mid-March which might make sense: one month of Note Pro sales, first. Rumors are the Verizon version of Note Pro will be released on March 6. I'm hoping for mid-March--or sooner, of course.
Just got a tracking number from amazon. Looks like it will be here tomorrow march 5th. I used 2 days prime shipping.

Seriously so soon? It is only a pre-order even as of today.
It's still showing pre-order on amazon. But somehow, they sent me a tracking number for it. I'll update it once I get it tomorrow.
Mine still shows "preparing for shipment, " but since Samsung just announced March 9 release, it may change soon. I'm also Prime. Ordered March 3 early in the day EDT. It shows in my orders, but I didn't get an order confirmation email.
6:30 PM EDIT: Just received a text that the tablet (+ micro sd card I ordered this morning) shipped for delivery Friday. No email nor amazon.com showing either has shipped-yet.

Shipped through Philadelphia early AM. ETA (south central FL) tomorrow.
Amazon still lists as "not yet released."
Now I wait for root.
@sic_lic1o1, did you get yours yesterday? You probably did and are too busy playing with it in any spare time to get back to the forum.
Yes I did receive mine yesterday. Got home late from work so I didn't have enough time to play with it much but I snapped a few shots of the tablet. I always like the big size tablet. The first thing I checked was the build quality, dead pixels and light bleed. So far I haven't found anything wrong with the tablet yet. There's not any noticeable light bleed compare to my Samsung galaxy 2014 special edition. There's also no lag so far for me.
It's a beaut all right. Thanks for sharing. Mine (my son 's, really) got to Louisville, KY. Amazon still shows not released.

Ours arrived today, but I'm sending for a replacement. There's a row of dead pixels (possible dust as it is horizontally linear--about the size of 3-4 pixels) in the upper left quadrant but closer to the center. In that skyline picture on your last pic, it's just above the pointed spire so not in a very inconspicuous spot.
Once you find those things, your mind can't "unfind" them. It shows on every pixel test screen and on every other screen. I guess it was our turn--over a dozen devices in the past three years and this is the first with the issue. Otherwise, everything about the tablet is what we were hoping for.

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully Amazon will overnight it to you. I like the size so far, its a lil heavy but I don't hold it much. Mine does have some backlight bleeding when i used the backlight bleeding app to test it . But nothing major compare to my note 10.1 special edition.

Thanks. Yep, Amazon overnight. We don't live anywhere near Best Buy (55 miles) which also does easy exchanges, so Amazon gets our business most of the time. Before I mentioned 12 devices. It's actually been 16. Our first tablets were Pandigital Novels. This is the first Android devices that probably won't get rooted. Now I'm supposedly thinking about the 8.4 for myself.

Well I took the plunge into the 3T after owning a Z3+ for two years. Was thinking of the normal 3 but my inner geek wanted the latest. Who here is also on the bandwagon? And all this development nonsense about not supporting is just stupid in my opinion, many people who never got the OP3 and have upgraded from much older devices including developers from other places will at some point.
I decided to go for the 3T and ordered this morning. Have been using the S6 Edge plus but feel it is limited because there aren't any real roms for it. Only roms are all dated not a big deal for me to use so waiting to get my new 3T next week.

Going to be a big upgrade from my Z3+ in which I was disappointed from day one but thought updates would sort battery and heat.
I ordered some cool cases and a full screen protector. They also do the neo hybrid case that I'll get too. There some of the best cases, have a look over at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/accessories/compatible-one-plus-3-t3501030/page1
Also ordered last night, waiting for it to ship like it's Christmas morning. Still using my LG V10, but I find the phone too large and heavy. I know the OP3T is similar sized, but still a bit smaller and much lighter. Aside from no SD card support, I'm hoping I can last 2-3 years on it if not more.
I ordered one last night at 1203pdt and got the ship notice about 30 mins ago. So hopefully will be herd this week if not early next week
Edit.
Mines expected to be herd by end of day thursday. Wooo

I don't think most people get 128GB just because they need the space, but because it doesn't have sd slot, so if 64GB isn't enough later on then you are screw.

If I hit that point, a nice format will clean things up :laugh:
I ordered mine! Should be getting it next Tuesday. I have the G5 from T-Mobile now and it just never got any development. And the camera loses all functionality when you start using the ROMs that are finally coming out for it.
I was thinking a pixel xl 128 but it's never in stock and too expensive. I'm just hoping they release a Android N beta in a week or two...But not a big deal if they don't....and release the camera libs so devs can make sure the stock camera works like it's suppose to.
I'm excited. I'm guessing it will only take a couple of months..maybe just weeks for the dev community to start coming with gas....unlike my G5 that took a billion years.
I put an order for the 128, my only real regret is the expected date says November 29. I think they sold out because if you look on the order page it says ships in 4 weeks. But now I'm worried if my order order changes from Nov 29 to Dec 29.
Selling my Galaxy S7 Edge on Swappa on the 21st paid for $453 of the $479 price tag. So I see it as just $25 for the upgrade. I call it an upgrade because I wasn't happy with the speed of the Exynos S7 I had, and that slippery glass back was something you'd always have to worry about and if you touch it even after washing your hands it just gets ugly.
Mine is shipped and got the shipping number.
I ordered at 12:02am and received a shipment notification at 7:16pm. Got to love DHL Express. I am in California.

I was going to, but decided against it. More expensive than OP and you cant buy sim free. I'll wait and order on Monday. Just trying to work out if it is worth the extra £30 for the 128gb. I never use it, so I might just go for the 64gb.

Thats interesting, I never thought about going into a store. The website was only showing pay for device in full and then adding a pay as you go sim on top. It is still more expensive that OP from what I have read, if it was the same price I would have done the pre-order.
£18 more expensive but if something happened to the mobile later down the line at least i could go instore .
