[Q] When does the Xoom come to Europe?

Hi,
do we know, when the Xoom comes out in Europe (especially in Germany) finally?

no announcement yet on it. but if you look at the xoom US price it is quite cheap in euro's if you inport one once GSM or wifi version comes out

http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/news/coming-soon/motorola-xoom-3g
Expected April 2011
3g version sold by CPW & Bestbuy
Wifi version to be sold by DSG (currys, pc world et al)
http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2011/02/17/motorola-xoom-uk-stockists-announced/

omg still 2 month. Maybe Xoom and Samsung Galaxy 10.1 will start at the same time

Good chance that GT10.1 will be in stores next month... at least they are trying to start sales before Xoom hits the shops.

The wait is killing me..!

So PC World UK have a page up for the wifi version
http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/motorola-xoom-1316-commercial.html
Looks like they will be asking £449.99 for it
http://www.reghardware.com/2011/03/01/motorola_xoom_dixons/
Article also mentions Germany........
"CW expects the 3G Xoom to arrive in April. In Germany, T-Mobile has the tablet's availability pencilled in for the end of that month. "

T-Mobile will have the Xoom available at the end of April. It will cost €699.95 and will be available exclusively at T-Mobile for the first 3 months.
http://www.xoomblog.com/t-mobile-germany-deutsche-telekom-announces-xoom-pricing-3-month-exclusivity/

Now they start the "exclusive per carrier"-crap like in the US, in Germany too.
Xoom for T-Mobile and Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 for Vodafone?!

keep refreshing that pcworld/currys page waiting for the pre-order for £450 to open so I can order myself one... ::sigh::

I'm more interested in the price, considering Maharashtra has the highest tax slab on electronics and mobile devices.

Well m also very much interested in buying it, it seems to be a dream phone, and we can also go for a group buy for better pricing.

Well let it launch once, one way is, we all indian members can enquire for the cheapest group buy prices in our cities and order from wherever we get it most cheap.

Ah well, I already ordered mine from Germany.

Actually I got it from eBay, the seller had decent reviews so I thought what the heck. I couldn't get it ordered from online German retailers since the only one which could ship to India was charging me 290 Euro for shipping. It is set to be shipped today and then delivered within 3-5 business days, hope it goes well.
EDIT : It was 820$(USD) plus 79$ for shipping. I'm not sure what the import duty will be, but I'll deal with it.

good luck with indian customs ... im sure saale bahut jyaada charge karenge tujhko .. all the best !

I only had to pay 14% for my ipad 2, it can't be more than that. Plus I chose fedex which has there own custom clearance department so it gets processed faster.

That's still so expensive..smh.. hope its price is lower when it launches in India.. 40k+ Rs is just too much.. its supposed to be a hybrid of galaxy tab 750 and a galaxy s2.. so ithe price is supposed to be in between.. but since Samsung doesn't want to interfere in the sell of the new galaxy tab, it is costlier.. and besides there is still no other product in d phoblet department to compete with the galaxy note.. so its goin to be expensive here too ,I guess

It's supposed to arrive today

Samsung Galaxy S III to hit retail shelves in India on June 8, priced at Rs 39,990

Samsung will be hosting a press conference in New Delhi on May 31 to launch the Galaxy S III in India but the smartphone is likely to be available a week later. Multiple sources have told BGR India that the Galaxy S III will be available on store shelves around June 8. Even online retailers are expecting units to be available for shipping from June 8 onwards.
We are also hearing that the Galaxy S III will be priced at Rs 39,990. This is likely to be the MRP and not the street price. However, considering the high profile nature of the Galaxy S III, we cannot confirm whether the phone will retail at Rs 39,990 for the first few weeks or will it, like all other phones, have a different market operating price as soon as it is launched. At the moment, Samsung is taking pre-bookings for the Galaxy S III and is offering a free Bluetooth headset for those who commit Rs 2,000 to reserve their unit.
The Galaxy S III will compete with the HTC One X, which was launched in India for Rs 37,899 and is now retailing at about Rs 36,000. Samsung might just put a premium on the Galaxy S III, considering the success of the Galaxy S II and the Galaxy Note as well as its marketing muscle, which would easily overshadow what HTC has done so far for the One X. Ideally, HTC could gain some additional sales were it to slash the price of the One X but that is unlikely to happen.

Nice June 8 isn't too far from now. I'm excited for Indian users as a lot of them are into samsung devices and also great developers like Gadgetcheck.

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.

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

Where can I buy in Korea ?

No any news about selling Nexus 7 in my country so far. However, I will fly to Korea soon and Google said in the opening event that Nexus 7 (2013) will be available in Korea “in the coming weeks”.
Is it available in Korea yet ? and where ? or Have you guys heard any news about selling in Korea ?

Its still in the US now. Canada is next...not sure about other countries. I'm guessing late August, early September. You could always import it from someone that you know in the US. (If you do)
