I went to bestbuy to exchange my ASUS Transformer Prime (many known problems), they let me, and said i could go pick any tablet to exchange it with (thought they would just offer a ASUS Transformer Infinity as the replacement) , so i went to go look at the tablets, narrowed it down to the Infinity or the Note 10.1, decided on the Note. Asked the person there if he could get me one from the back or whatever, to go bring up to Customer Service to exchange. He went to go get it, came back and said they where all out of stock.. So anyways i ask if they can order me one, they said yeah and i could come pick it up on the 24th.
But today I check bestbuy.com just to see if they have any instock by chance. and what I see now for the White model, is "Unavailable" http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Samsung...6&skuId=6315134&st=galaxy note 10.1&cp=1&lp=2 also "Shipping: Not available" for the black model however it says for store pickup " Pick up in 3 to 5 days" and "Shipping: Usually leaves our warehouse in 1 business day"
I also checked amazon, and i get the message "Item Under Review
While this item is available from other marketplace sellers on this page, it is not currently offered by Amazon.com because customers have told us there may be something wrong with our inventory of the item, the way we are shipping it, or the way it's described here. (Thanks for the tip!)

This is all really weird, I wonder what the problem is. Looks like i might have to get the black model, or wait a bit, for the white to get back in stock at bestbuy.. Some other retailers (newegg, b&hphoto etc) still have the white instock.
I was about to order it from Aamzon this morning...and i noticed this. There is a seller on Amazon named 'onSale.'...im slight concerned ordering from them:

A little nervous making, no?
That probably refers to people complaining about broken seals on packaging received from Amazon.

Still on sale with lots of vendors and Samsung.

Best buy does not have a lot of white in stock. Greys were manufactured first. Whites typically represented the 8000 originally.
Best buy cant ship it to your house, except on days that trucks get delivered. I have no idea why this is. But check on Saturday or Monday/Tuesday and it should show up that it can be delivered to your house free shipping.
I just returned my grey for creaks and ordered the white one. Only shipped to store for now since I ordered Wednesday.
There's about 5 best buy stores within 300 miles over me that have whites in stock. None of them are convenient.
All respective Notes (8000, 8010, 8013) are mechanically the same and made on the same assembly lines no matter what color they end up being. So if there was something wrong with the production of white back covers or white displays (since the color is part of the actual display) I could see where one color could have a different set of issues than the other. I also think that's highly unlikely or it would have popped up here in the forum before Amazon. White seems to be more popular so it could simply be Samsung guessed the percentages of white vs. gray wrong and didn't build enought white ones.
Consider getting it at Walmart. I returned my16 GB version to BB and got the 32GB Version from WM because the two year warranty with accidental coverage was only $69 compared to $180 @ BB. And BB would not price match on the warranty.

I actually gave in and drove to canton, OH to get the white one tonight. Funny, i swear this feels sturdier and slightly heavier. It could be because i didnt have my baby for 18 hours...
The front of the box is slightly different than my gray one too. Graphically, they replaced the s-planner icon on the gray box with the s-notes icon on the white one. No creaks on this either so far.
It really does feel more solid, i swear im not going crazy.
Go with the deep gray. I've had the white model for ~2 weeks, and decided I'd rather have the deep gray, as well as 32gb of internal storage (instead of the 16gb I have currently), and I'm willing to pay the $50 price difference that I found on Amazon. The new one should be here today, and I'm going to send this one back.
I don't like the gray border/trim on the white model. I think it makes it look kinda cheap, like a toy. Hopefully, the deep gray will appeal a bit more, with a modern look.

i bought mine from them (onSale) last week, $499+19 overnight shipping, guess what? i received it after a week. i called the customer service 13 times, and everyone saying something different. anyway after i got my note and shipping refund, i gave a negative feedback, the day after the manager called me to remove the feedback since they refund my shipping cost. i asked him what is wrong? he said we dont have in it stock, we brought it from GA, Thats why your order took long time. so i removed the feedback
btw the company in TN.

When I bought mines I wanted the Whitr buy the best buys surrounding me only had grey so I went with that. I woulf check stock daily after to see if they had the white and there days when I saw both models listed as unavailable. About 2 weeks after I bought the grey one, a store near my job finally had the white in stock so I went on my lunch break. When I went to the desk and the girl told me they didn't have it. I let her know that it says they had it online and got pissed off and walked to the section where they have the tablets. Five minutes later she came back with the white one and did my exchange.

When they were first pulled, from my understanding, there were a lot of returns related to one or more defects. Not sure what.

Bought one for the girlfriend... the box was opened, not shrink-wrapped like mine I bought new at Target. No fingerprints on screen, but edges looked like there were a few nicks. If I were you I'd pass on this. Think I'm going to return it.

Talked to B&N customer service. They looked up the device's serial number. Device was registered before, and it's a refurbished. Bastards are selling these as 100% new... don't buy. Called customer service, and told them it was a refurbished product and I wanted a pre-paid shipping label to return it for a full refund. The person on the phone didn't sound surprised when I told them it was used. Nor did they apologize, but I'm supposed to receive an email with a shipping label today.. we'll see if it comes.
Buy at your own risk... some other negative feedback coming in recently that is same situation as mine.
Since the 10.1 2014 launched I knew I was going to buy one, I wanted to find a good deal on it though. I got my Black 32GB for $480 shipped! $120 off retail ain't bad.... :good:
What I did:
Go to Amazon and select the Black 32GB, there will be Used ones listed below. Amazon Warehouse is selling "Open Box" ones for $533 in "Good" condition. I looked for one that had the description that said: "Packaging may be damaged" as the only disclaimer. Then during checkout, apply for the Amazon Rewards card and they will give you a $50 gift card instantly that you can apply to the order. You don't even have to use the Amazon card, you just have to apply for it. Free money! I had it shipped with Free 2 day Prime shipping and when it arrived it looked like it never was used. The box had a couple rips on it, thats it. The tablet is in perfect condition.
For my money, I think you can't go wrong.
Thought I would share the love

when the are sent back, does Amazon look into them and like restart and fix the item?! or they just put it in a box and send it to us? is it what's called refurbished?!

But a word of caution to anyone going the eBay route, Samsung will not honor their warranty unless you purchase the device from an authorized dealer.
If you're planning on tripping the KNOX counter with root though, you won't have to care.

Not necessarily at all. It's like people that buy stuff at Best Buy. They just decide they don't want it and send it back. I have used mine a ton since I got it and it works perfect. So I don't know how it could be a bad one. It's not refurbished, that would have to be done by the manufacturer. This would be constituted as "open box".

This is a good point and opens up a new discussion. My theory: I think that people are being very dishonest and buying these tablets to simply get the free perks and then are returning them. I mean heck, you get $75 in free movies/music/apps! Mine when I got it still had all the Perks papers in the box. However, when I went to register on the site it said it was already registered. I opened a ticket with Samsung chat today and the rep said that in 2 days I should get an email from an elevated team that will give me the perks. I was very vague in my dialog. I simply said I bought it from Amazon and it would let me register the device on Samsung.com but would not let me register for the perks. He took all my info and left me waiting to hear from the other team. But I have a copy of the chat transcript that says I will get my perks in 2 days. I think they will have to honor that... In any case, I really don't care that much if I don't get them. Honestly all I wanted was this awesome tablet. And for the price I got it, it's a steal. If I get Perks too, then yay for me!
So you could def get lucky and buy one that the person didn't steal the Perks out of... A gamble I guess.

Make sure you check your gmail under the promotions tab. I thought some kind of funny business was going on with my tablet since I also got the "already registered" message when trying to claim my perks, but it turns out their page for it can be hit or miss (found lots of complaints online). Meanwhile the perks were sitting in my promo folder all along...

YOU MAY BE OVER LOOKING SOMETHING
Below is a copy of the Standard Limited Warranty and according to the warranty by purchasing it used you don't have a warranty.
So if it was registered........... There goes your savings as you now need to purchase a warranty.
I would buy an extended warranty with damage protection anyway because micro USB ports are known to be fragile and I would want to experiment with root. Still a savings though.
What is covered and for how long?
SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS AMERICA, INC. (“SAMSUNG”)
warrants that SAMSUNG’s devices and accessories
(“Products”) are free from defects in material and
workmanship under normal use and service for the period
commencing upon the date of purchase by the first
consumer purchaser and continuing for the following
specified period of time after that date:

Just an update, I got an email from Samsung today and I got my perks! So I am not sure if the tablet truly was already registered for it or if the site was just having troubles but they sent me codes.

Be careful I bought one of these last week and it didn't have an s pen. A bit ticked off but amazon gave me credit to buy an s pen at my local store. There's 2 very minor scratch on the bottom but not very noticeable unless you really look. Also some light bleed. Otherwise the tablet is fine. Considering it has some scratch I would assume it was a returned used unit. Still not a bad deal but I'm a bit concerned. I was able to register the device so I'm good with warranty coverage I assume.

Yeah I hear ya, that's why I looked for one that only had the description that said the packaging was damaged. They were right on, my tablet is perfect. Minimal light bleed and not a scratch on it. I think that all units are going to have a little light bleed, its just the nature of the beast. The missing s-pen is a fluke I'm sure.
I am assuming the same things about warranty, they would never know if I bought this used if I am the first one to register it... So warranty should be fine
Just noticed they have dropped their price to £369

I just rang them and will get a further reduction. I've had one return, and 2 price matches
In all I've had 110 GB Pounds back off John Lewis since I bought it a month or so ago. Not bad for 2 years gurantee.

Yeah call them up when you get a chance and they will refund you £30 - I haven't done this personally as I didn't buy from JL but people on this forum got refunds when JL dropped price from £450 to £400 and @bu11d0g is saying he has got price match refund from the initial £480 price.
Thank you. I received the tablet under complex circumstances anyway. I actually didn't know I'd receive it since I got a cancellation email and was waiting for the refund from paypal (still waiting) to buy one again. I was initially going to wait, but then I got an email saying my tablet was being dispatched and effectively got charged for this tablet and right now my bank account looks like I've bought the tablet twice. I figured since it was too late to cancel and it would be arriving anyway I decided to keep it. I kind of regret it now lol but I do hope I'll be able to price match with them. Thank you for bringing this to my attention by the way!
White is all sold out online, but call your local store and you might be lucky. They will put it aside for you. My local JL had 3 white only left.
Okay I was told to do a price match form so hopefully they'll get back to me. If not I guess I'll call them up again.

Thanks for this info, otherwise I wouldnt have bothered walking into the store where they had loads in stock so bought a white one ... however the assistant first brought out a box with one seal broken (can't say for sure if she knew or not but I will give benefit of the doubt) but when I told her about it she seemed a tad shocked and got me another straightaway. Don't get why samsung don't just have that plastic film like on ipads or other devices as it would be plainly visable if it had been opened/tampered with. Oh well i have mine now so all is well :good:.

Bought mine online from them a couple of weeks ago and picked up in store. Emailed them earlier, reply this evening saying they are crediting my card with the £30 refund... great!
Happy days!
Yay, submitted a price-match claim last night and this morning received an email saying they are refunding £30 :victory:
Got mine today! it kills my tab 3 8.0. The screen is something to behold.
Just wanted to confirm that they've also verified my price match and I should be getting my £30 back. Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention. It makes me feel more relieved that I've made the right decision purchasing this.
I bought mine last week from JL for 399.. just emailed them to see if I can get my 30 quid back too .. my missis wasn't too happy at me when I shown her how much it is now lol

Ive submitted a price match form, hopefully ill be lucky! loving the tab and this might be time to root it so i can move some games to my SD
Wasn't sure where to put this but since it says 'John Lewis' on the tin I might as well. I got this tab from John lewis so if I were to return it or if it broke within the 2 year warranty with the Knox counter tripped, would they check it or would they just repair/replace it no questions asked.

Saga Continues
Update:
So I called up my local John Lewis to check the store stock, they tell me they have the Note 10.1 2014 in stock so she says its reserved for you now so come into store and pick it up within 3 days. Me being all excited I head out for JL straight away. I get there, find an assistant...she pops into the back and walks out with a brown wooded box so I get even more excited - on closer inspection its a Tab 3 10.1, I tell her its the wrong one, she apologieses and pops back into the stock room and returns empty handed once again apologising that there is no Note 10.1 left. So that was a wasted journey and go home sad and empty handed.
So try 2...I call up on wednesday and once again I'm told they have stock and its on hold - I repeat many times "Note 2014" and even mension I've already had a wasted trip and she goes " I have personally placed it on the shelf myself", I was catching a domestic flight home and as soon as I land I make the way to the shop and the exact same thing happens, obviously I was a tad annoyed by this stage, I didnt really mind the first time as mistakes happen but twice!
The assistant understood my annoyance and in the end he said whenevever it comes back into stock I will get a £30 discount...so in total the tablet will cost £340...I left tabletless once again but atleast I will get a good deal whenever I do buy it. Patience is a virtue haha.
I live in NYC..
April 10: Amazon advertises release date of Gold Platinum color as April 27th - "want it the day it comes out? select 2 shipping with prime" - that was a lie. People ordering from AT&T got their Gold Platinum 3 weeks earlier. I ordered on 2 year contract and waited with a broken phone for this thing to arrive.
April 27: "Made in Korea" phone arrives, pink tinted screen.
April 28: Paid $1000 for an off contract replacement to be 1-day shipped, refunded when i swap
April 29: "Made in Korea" phone arrives, less pink but still not white whites, with a dead pixel (always green)
April 30: Order a second replacement. Return original phone.
May 1: "Made in Korea" phone arrives, another pink tinted screen.
Today: Called Samsung support: "yeah don't order from amazon." - called AT&T support "yeah dont order from amazon" - they told me i can buy it in person. Called AT&T store in the Queens Center mall and they said they have 2 64GBs in stock MADE IN CHINA. Called AT&T to confirm I can upgrade. They said yes, the manager at the store can cancel the old 2 year upgrade. So I get on the bus, 1 hour to the mall.
Manager at the store: "Customer service cant do this because you used your upgrade a few days ago "
Customer service: "Manager at the store can do this, we cant"
I put them on the phone with each other and spoke to supervisor: "ok no one can do this, your line isn't eligible."
I call Amazon: "ok we will try to get that cancellation on the contract order we see the phone is in the mail" "oh wait never mind we can't"
As I leave trying to order it over the phone full price, the AT&T dude says "oh you have like 4 more lines you can use the Next upgrade on for this line with no changes. just ask them to use one of those and sell you a phone" - dude. I can do that? HALF A DOZEN AT&T AGENTS IN THE STORE, HALF A DOZEN CUSTOMER SERVICE AGENTS ON THE PHONE, AND THIS FIRST GUY TO REALIZE THE STUPID-EASY FIX.
I go back in.
"we don't have any left in stock."
Facepalm. Double facepalm. Double facepalm and headdesk and chin to sharp furniture Edge (get it?)
kill me. and DON'T order your phone from amazon
Coloured pixel is not a dead pixel. It's just stuck. You can run a colour pattern to unstuck it!

It might not be a dead or stuck pixel, but actually a dead subpixel. Where one specific subpixel represents one of the primary colors or however the display defines them.
Try cycling through a bunch of colors and see if it at any point the pixel just goes black, if so it's a dead subpixel. If not then it's probably a stuck one.
Received replacement from AT&T. DEVASTATED TO SEE "MADE IN KOREA" on the box. Screen is more pink than the ones I got from amazon. Pic below.
1 more replacement, then I'm done with Samsung forever and getting a G4.
Man... that really sucks...
Are you sure that someone that hates you didn't make a voodoo doll lol?

Interesting. I have Sprint. Amazon was set to release the Gold Platinum 32gb edge model on the 27th. I did not want to order from Amazon, so on that date, when it became available online at Sprint, I ordered it. So I have the same phone, but mine came direct from sprint. I wonder if it has the made in Korea stuff on the box as well. I did not notice anything. My whites seem white! lol. I'll follow up.
It seems maybe Amazon contracted out another manufacturer for these phones perhaps?
Logo
Something is wrong here especially with the logo on the left. I went to a store to buy one. It had the same smudgy logo as if it is a sticker. I refused to buy it and asked for another one with the logo clearly printed.

They shouldn't be allowed to get away with this but not many people seem to care.

I placed a pre-order from tropical_mobile on eBay since I decided the H815 model was the best choice overall, for me. They offered two day shipping as well, so it was sort of a no brainer at that point. I paid a few pennies shy of $700, but they have since significantly dropped the price down to $630, so your patience will be rewarded if you decided to wait! As their listing states, it comes with some goodies, and I thought I may as well post a few pics of said goodies in case anyone was wondering.
There is no extra back piece included. Just thought I'd get that out of the way in case anyone was wondering. It only comes with the back that you ordered. In my case, that's the black leather - and I love it!
I'm a bit peeved that I could've saved $70 by waiting a few days, but I'm one impatient as hell sonofabitch, so I'll just deal with it haha.
Enjoy!

The clear case is a bit.. meh. Feels great, but not liking the design at all.

And in the actual box. Comes with a pair of Quadbeat 3, given how much of an audiophile I am, I am likely to hate them. The fact that they're a gaudy red doesn't help much at all haha

I ordered from the same place, mine is sitting in Memphis going to be here tomorrow. We shall see what I get.
Ordered mine sunday, received it this afternoon. What an awesome service. Red leather and it looks STUNNING in person. Im super happy. That seller is great.
I paid $646 for mine and very next day it was dropped to $629. No biggie at all cause a si said, the phone came faster than expected

I ordered from them as well. Mine had a tracking number issued but sat for 3 days saying label created. After emailing them it magically moved (could be coincidence) and is now on plane for delivery tomorrow. Ordered at $646 for non leather back and saw it dropped: no biggie as I signed for PayPal credit to finance over 6 months. If I don't like it, Swappa here it comes!

i did get a pretty generic gray adapter from them. Seems its the same most ebay phone sellers supply.
Why even include all that extra garbage? I will just throw all that extra trash away. They should have included an extra that is actually worth something, like an extra back cover or an extra battery.
I ordered a brown leather G4 from them last night by the way for $629. Already got a Fedex notification that it should be here tomorrow morning. Said something about Singapore. Crazy if it ships from there in a day and a half.

You sure? I got no email from eBay or Tropical Mobile telling me that it shipped. I only know they sent it because I have a Fedex account that is set up to notify me when a packaged is sent that is addressed to me.
It is coming direct from Singapore by the way. Confirmed.
Ordered from them, didnt use the screen protector included though, I just left the one that was pre applied on the phone (yes I know)

Go naked. The screen is curved a little so even if you set it face down, the screen won't be touching and won't get scratched.
I picked up one from them as well, red leather.
I paid $674 on Saturday, they sent me a tracking number on Monday, and the phone arrived this morning in good working order.
So far, I think this is an awesome phone, and although I could have saved a few bucks by not being impatient, it was worth the 674 to me at the time, so it's hard to say I got hosed.
Either way, great seller, hopefully I won't be using them for a long time!

Is that a particular FedEx feature? I just created an account but dont see that option/setting anywhere
FedEx delivery manager or something
Those of you who already received the order from this seller, can you post the full model number? I'd like to know the bands that it supports. I want to use it with Bell in Canada but also in south america (Chile)
Thanks
