Well, 5 AT&T stores, 2 fake AT&T stores, and 3 Best Buy's later. No go on finding a Samsung Focus.
Amazon appears to be sold out and I can't figure out how to get the $35 fee waived when ordering online.
Guess I'll be joining you all later than expected - this is what I get for waiting until the day after release :/
Being popular has drawbacks, yet once you get it...
I've been waiting patiently for US carrier to make this available for 3 months and finally...finally Verizon makes it available for pre-order. I ordered last night and got a notice a couple hours ago that it's shipping. Default shipping on the order was 2-day so I'll get this on Monday.
If you are in the US and you haven't found this phone through other channels and don't want to wait till May 26, go pre-order on line. Will get it a few days earlier.
On a side note, SE did say that they will make this available on other carriers so don't know what the exclusivity period will be for Verizon. I'm guessing AT&T will get this in a couple months but I couldn't wait anymore.

Ditto for me. Ordered today, shipped today, scheduled for Monday delivery.
Heading in today to preorder mine. But I need to persuade them to give me my upgrade back. Since they changed the time period between updates in January. Wish me luck.

it passed though the fcc for att. thats all that is known right now i think
Any official release date for the US. And how much it will be in US dollars.
1) How long after phones pass through are they generally released? It could theoretically be 6 months to launch right?
2) I would suspect that it would be 299.99-399.99 on contract, 699.99-799.99 without.
you can preorder here in usa for 699, and yes att
I was curious about the release date in best buy and Verizon stores of the note 4.Since I seen 17th and 23rd.. so I tweeted both on Twitter about this question. and I got a surprising response..

It's the 23rd. Why would Verizon advertise the 23rd if it wasn't? Nothing to gain and they actually lose to every other US carrier that's getting it the 17th. We just need to accept this already
The only solace of being a week late is that that time could be used to root the other phones.
In due time we will have it, its getting close.

A number of the Korea and China market devices have already been rooted; however, there's no guarantee those methods will even work for the Verizon device until its released and people have an opportunity to fiddle with it.
Also, right on VZW's site it says the 23rd. No reason to doubt that. There's no requirement for multiple carriers to release a device all on the same day, no matter how annoying that might be.
I agree that the rooting of those Asian phones may be of no help to us.
The 23d is two weeks away! The store has ads pushing note edge.
T-Mobile started sending those who pre ordered, text messages that their devices have shipped.
why dont you go for t mobile rather than verizon? they already giving who had pre ordered.
I was more curious of people on this forum stating that best buy said they will have all carriers on the 17th ..

Yep. When I pre ordered at my BB, they told me that it will be available for pick up on the 17th.

This was on the BB Website... Nothing on the Verizon Note
I pre ordered my Note 4 through Verizon, and when I called and spoke with a Verizon Rep, I inquired about the release date of the Galaxy Note 4. After he looked into his computer, he informed me that the release date of the phone was Oct. 17th... and that the date on my Pre Order receipt which was listed as Oct. 23, was in fact the latest ETA in which I may receive my device. But I've also been hearing rumors that the US could get its shipment a few days earlier than the 17th... I hope those rumors turn out to be true
Considering that Samsung prints an exclusion for Verizon, and states everything prior to the 23rd is a PRE order, its not likely they are showing up until then.
Other carriers will have it on the 17th, so we have to wait.

I have faith. Even as I ordered in store the guy told me they give that date out just to cover themselves. He seemed very confident I would receive it sooner. I'll only know when I notice they charge my card for the remaining balance I have after using my wifes $200 promo from her iphone 6.
I finally got my pre-order done through Best Buy local store after much hassle and run-around (see my other posts in the Best Buy Promotion... what is going on thread).
Anyhow as of yesterday when I completed the pre-order in person and purchased the $50 gift card, I was specifically told they were getting ALL pre-orders in on the 17th and expect it then.
With what all I've been through with a lot of mis-information mainly based on their trade-in policy and pre-order availability in the past week and a half, I'm not holding my breath for that date in reality. :silly:

Rumors eh? No offense, but rumors from who? Be happy if it doesn't get pushed back right before release like it did in the UK.
Best Buy and Verizon have a date and that is 10/23. Several stores each and same answer. Ditto for customer service, so not sure why people would think at this current time no confirmed date and it ain't this week.

because people want to wish their phones would come early then get upset when it's not here the 17th and start badmouthing verizon because of it despite the fact verizon never once said the 17th and always stuck to the 23rd lol

That is true. The only date I have heard from Verizon is 10/23 and Best Buy are now saying the same thing. My guess is some BB staff and customers assumed that since the other devices are around 10/17, must be the same for VZW.
Verizon has never deviated from 10/23 and Best Buy had no date until last week. Ditto for the $200 terms that specify contract-only for the Best Buy offer. That popped up early last week too.
The Galaxy Note 4 goes Live on Oct 17 for all carriers in store. Verizon ships the Note 4 on Oct 23. Verizon confirmed this in September.
Just thought I'd post that my local Best Buy in Columbus Ohio let me pre order the Edge on Verizon. Unfortunately they only offered the black and white (all carriers) and I was interested in the green. I was however, the first pre order for Verizon at my store. Free wireless charging pad too! Can't wait until April 10th.
Still debating on staying with Verizon Edge or going to a 2 year contract. I'm leaning towards the Verizon Edge and buying Best Buys insurance for 160(never purchased insurance before). I like the idea of not having to drop 400 on the phone April 10th and getting 3 replacements over a 2 year period. Only thing that scares me with edge is breaking it and then can't edge up next year but with 3 replacements that wouldn't be an issue.
