Lol! These ex footballers eh!
A little research would have told him no 4g, before wasting 5 hours driving, hahaha!
He's right about their flagship store tho, terrible launch Sammy, no 32gb, no 64gb and no greys!!!
I managed to get my grey unit tho via handtec, confirmed for tuesday
Where did you get yours in London ?

Dumb footballers. Small amount of research would have shown him that the 32/64gb wouldn't be available and could have just stayed home and paid overnight shipping....
For me sounds like an stupid apple fan boy trying to make bad noise around gn2

Ok, i was right next to him in the queue, we were told 1st that it is 4g, i had called them yday and was told the same as well, the samsung guys came out and said yup its 4g, get to the counter and they turn around and say woops its 3g! obviously the guy would be pissed off! and he was using a S3, so no apple fanboi im afraid.
Samsung/phones4u were clueless about the whole thing in all honesty, shocking lack of info. everything was wrong from pricing, colour avail, size availability etc the works
Just cause hes footballer he still have to wait same as us. unlucky. stupidity on his behalf

Still your word against mine.. Doesn't prove anything...
I could say "hey yesterday I was right next to Bill Gates and he told me that windows sucks"
So because I say so does it makes it true? Pffff
Enviado desde mi GT-N7000 usando Tapatalk 2
I went there this morning.Got there about 11am. About 100 in front of me.Doors opened at 12.00 sharp. The queue instantly started moving, its a big store,I got right to the entrance straight away.Waited 20 minutes and nobody had come out yet.
Was expecting white only although heard one guy say he had phoned the store yesterday and had been told that silver was available...result.
Then news filtered through that it was indeed white 16GB only, and the price was £569!!
The price, plus (more importantly) the time it would have taken put me off, and I walked away.
Although I would have taken the white, I think I would be happier with the silver so maybe it was a blessing in disguise.

fair enough, as you want to believe! but there is no reason for me to lie at all, he was there and he was pissed off, as were a lot of people...
I too am annoyed that it does not have 4G in the UK, yet the Galaxy S3 with a much smaller screen and less features WILL have 4G.
I think it's good that he's complaining about the lack of 4G.

Can someone who has it confirm whether it actually has a 4G chip for different frequencies inside?

There is no mention of the frequencies that the Uk note 2 supports anywhere!
None on the box, or included documentation. It may well be 4G capable, it may well be 4G capable on bands we don't have here in the UK or it may only be 3G but if the box doesn't say there is no way the staff know. I used to work for a phone shop and if it doesn't say on the box we have no clue.
As for Stan. I like him now. He is a gadget geek. He drove here and got a hotel and bought a gadget with everyone else. I have more respect for him now.

Yikes, that is dreadful. I read enough rumour, comments, and postings here, there and everywhere to make me doubt it would be worth turning up if you weren't after the white model. If only they planned it better, this could have been a crazily successful promo. People are champing at the bit for this thing.

Hexus had reported an 'exclusive price promotion'. Is that cheaper than the retail or something? I thought they might have included some official accessory bundles for a decent price at least.

If the carriers in the US allowed phone, I believe it would be selling quite well.
Just my .02, but i almost guarantee if the phone was functioning, sales would be awesome!! Either way, I love my two tabs, they are perfect in size, speed, and everything! Great device in all.

That is from one analysts speculation. I'll believe it when I see multiple analyst with the same conclusion.
Just keep in mind that this "production halved" bull**** is coming from ONE source, an analyst named Ashok Kumar. He's not the most reliable of sources.
Here's a breakdown on his ****ed up predictions and analysis just up to last summer, and just about Apple:
http://daringfireball.net/2010/09/kumar_track_record
No evidence or references whatsoever are provided for this info.
Article says "Info suggests" and "an analyst suggests"...
Give me a break... until references and numbers are given... sounds like bs to moi.
I do agree that US sales would be up if it could be used as a phone tho.

I would personally think that he does make a little bit of sense on the pricing part. Despite the great features, performance and stability, the price is a too high compared to IPhone which is heavily subsidized when you signed up with some carriers. Not mine but i know most of the carriers don't subsidize much for this phone.

How is that bad news for Samsung Tab owners???? I already have one and yes the price will drop but I knew that when I bought mine.... I wanted to enjoy it now and not wait to save a few bucks....
The price drops on everything and there is always a better device on the horizon...
Phone should have been working. Price? Can't blame them for attempting to match Apple, but think the advantages at coming a /bit/ lower would have outweighed the loss of profit per unit.
Least they can drop the price now/offer more features. If they'd have started low, as great as it would have been, if sales had been crazy off the wall, they'd never be able to raise the prices.
So...
Maybe, there's probably a bit of truth to it. If there's a whole load of bundling announced soon (which will be the first step, not dropping the price) it'll be telling.
We'll see.
Not selling well
Here in Thailand it is hard to get your hands on one as it seams the first batch has been sold out.
Hey guys,
i just got mine from Taipei last week, its sold out everwhere over there. I heard their next shipment from the distributors is by the end of the month.
I luckily got mine on the last day of my trip after 2 weeks of constant searching!
the Tab rocks!

The Tab is selling just fine. They are launching it on 4 carriers.. and when AT&T launches next week it'll be on all 4. It's selling fine. Try and find one in stock at a Sprint store in the Bay Area - I dare you.
I was in a Swisscom shop yesterday here in Switzerland, and they mentioned that they can't get enough in Stock.
here in the philippines it is also almost out of stock very hard to find a shop with remaining stocks also

plain and simple. People will or wont buy it. period.
I love analysts that try and "speculate" on sales forecasts on a device that just got released in a major market what...2 weeks ago?
Did i become impatient and pay the full price? hell ya. am i regretting it? hell no. This is the exact device I've been waiting for...I've played with a ton of different tablets including the original laptop - spin screen tablets...and this is hands down my favorite.
Pocket legends = wow....seriously? on a phone? its every bit as good as the original Everquest graphics were.
enough soap boxing....gonna go waste my day with PL now...as one of my favoritely mocked actors would say... "Shuck it Kumar...Shuck it loooong and hard!"
International version probably does better than North American but it should be no surprise to the carriers because potential customers having been voicing all along that:
International
Voice enabled
More competitive unlimited data plans
North American
No voice
Greedy tiered data plans
On top of that, the Tab's larger screen size is ideal for HD YouTube but there's no 4G on any NA version. I'm on Sprint and 3G buffers too much while watching HD Youtube.
looked at all the mobile manufacturer and nothing even compares to the screen size of the samsung will be released by the 1st quarter of 2011 and by far this is the dream phone i have been longing for a long time been speculating to buy an archos 70 and an android phone but the SGT really gives you the best of both worlds so enuff said this phone will definitely sell and it will have more developers working to port CFW definitely waiting for a cyanogen mod or even a Muiu would be nice

Time is ticking. The tablet market is hot, and moving very rapidly. All tablet manufacturers have to push these things out as fast as they can, before more competition gets their units out, ramp up production, or newer, better models come along. They don't really have time to come out with a polished and well planned launch. I'm sure this is why it was a NYC only event. They just weren't ready for a full launch, but are trying to get these released as quickly as possible.
Wait, sorry if i'm off here but, everyone is upset because they only have the white model and not the grey one?

if you were there at the launch, you'd be too.
1) no announcements were made that they only had the 16gb white model. there were a lot of people who were waiting longer than me who left the line after hearing the Samsung rep tell me about that. they all wanted a 32gb model, due to the lack of micro sd slot.
2) Samsung reps had no idea when the rest of the models will be available. no eta. only told me to keep coming back. it was a disorganized launch. there were gaps in information between Samsung reps and Best Buy employees. the Samsung rep even admitted that they had to ship some models last second just to even have demo versions.
don't get me wrong.. i'll be going back there again tomorrow in hopes that they suddenly get some new shipments of the grey 32gb model.. fingers crossed.
i bought the 16gb white model the only model available , was planning to get the metallic grey , might return this for the metallic grey once that comes out.
Also got the free leather sleeve . the line wasn't too bad i reached there exactly at noon.
I bet the grey will be out on the 17th. I would be a little bit miffed to get there & wait only to find they have 16GB white models if I was wanting grey or a higher capacity.
They talked the release up enough that they should have mentioned that model was to be the one released.
I'm still bombed at still no word on the 8.9.
I think i'll give it a few more weeks after that I'm probably just going to bite the bullet and place an order for the iPad2 :-|

Yeah it was super fishy that the annouced launch way back from Jan of this year was a one Best Buy only launch with the rest coming a week later.
It appears now from your experience that you are dead on correct, they simply wernt and still ARE NOT ready to launch but are scrambling to get them ready.
The sad part is that the average non XDA tablet buyer will be non the wiser until a major new publication decides to cover this.
My biggest question is this: What is the exact count of 16GB white versions avaliable at Best Buy today?
I would buy the 16gb white one then.... wait and return for whatever tablet you want.

I got there after 2pm and they had stacks on the desk where the samsung employees were demoing. I would b shocked if they become out of stock. They had alot of keyboards, docks and folio cases also.

Just got my blue SGS3 today and I've noticed one area where the finish appears scratched, but UNDERNEATH the glaze. Hard to photograph with my crappy old phone, but the photo makes it look less noticeable than it really is.
Should I keep it or send it back? Anyone else got this prob?
I see what you mean. Maybe that's the reason the blue was delayed in the UK?
maybe thats the issue they had for recalling all the blues. Yours slipped though the net
Blue went back for a respray .

^^ this. For a phone that costs $700, I'd think anything that looks like it shouldn't be there warrants a replacement.
Take that ish back!
Well I've called up my service provider and they've agreed to replace it with another new one - only problem is that they aren't getting another batch in for 2 weeks new one won't arrive til 27th June...
I can still keep this one til then, but it means I have to baby it/not take it out for fear of dropping it/not root it, basically treat it as a loaner.
I'm half tempted to say f*ck it, I'll just keep it - but you're all right, this is an expensive machine, I don't want a faulty paint job! Who's to say it won't get worse as well, since it's a prob with manufacturing process.

I'd recommend that you tell them your situation that you'll keep it till the new stock arrives and they ship it to you. I remember having a similar issue with my Motorola razor v9 flip phone (att USA). They sent me a new razor and asked me to return the defective phone once I've received the new one. This should work for them.

True, but do you honestly think they are going to open every box and inspect for bad craftsmanship? If they were part of the assembly process then sure, but they merely order en mass and then either drop ship to their customers or reship from their warehouse.
I think the OP is doing the right and ethical thing by not blowing this out of proportion. To many people these days try and milk every little "mistake" that cross their path. But to each their own, the important thing is that he is getting a replacement with no down time and a few bucks for his troubles.

I like the pebble blue colour, a lot. I much prefer it over plain black or white

Think it has something to do with Apple, whether they want to admit it or not. Had a black version been available, I'd have gotten that one, but I've settled with the white version for now(was going for the blue version, but after seeing it in person I'm glad I went with white when the former was delayed).
It'll probably not be that long lived if the Note 2 gets released in October.
I went in to my local tmobile today to just check out the GSIII because im waiting on the white one to come out. While there i grew interested in the pebble blue one and I asked the Rep if they had anymore in stock and said that they only received 6!!! WTF? how do you only get 6 GSIII's in stock?
Lmfao!

And we could all have handled the logistics for Samsung better if we were employed by them....right?
Especially since the incompetent company underestimated the demand (we evidently should have handled that for them as well).

i'm pretty sure most corporate stores don't get ginormous quantities in stock unless you are in a prime market/location.
i mean come on 6 phones geesh but oh well I cant cry over spilled milk
this more than no LTE pisses you off?
Only big stores in big cities get a lot in stock.
This is true for any phone on any carrier. Usually smaller stores even in big cities will only get about ten or so devices.
