Found this on Ebay Australia - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Samsung-...51181232414?pt=US_Tablets&hash=item3a7b91711e
I want one....
Though reading through the specs they seem a little bit wrong, what do you think?
Either its just been launched or the add is fake for couple of reasons US does not have a 3G version and second its list OS as 4.1 which is JB which is not out yet so do not think this is a gen add
Alot of the specs are wrong. It smells fishy, for example it lists ram as 1GB but my note has 2.

Lots wrong. Camera, memory, comes with case? All seems odd. But the oddest part, why the work PHOTOSHOP in the description? Are you just buying a picture?
I also chked ebay. Sellers seems to be taking buyers for a ride. I found a 32gb Note 10.1 with WiFI +3G. But fine print revealed that it is a 16GB Note with 16GB Micro SD Card. There is no 32/64Gb Note with wifi+3G in US Mkt.
Yeah I've seen that... But it is the genuine Oz ebay, but saying that ebay can be host to some dodgy sellers too....
Maybe there's a different model in Korea....
I do have a 32GB 3G note 10.1 however, but only found it from 1 seller here in Oz - JB Hifi...
And it comes with two batteries..... This cannot be real.

There never will be any 3G Note in the U.S. market as Samsung doesn't sell unlocked devices here. Any 3G Note sold in the U.S. was imported from somewhere else. A Note passed through the FCC with AT&T's LTE bands but that's been it so far. And I'm sure the calling and messaging features will be disabled because, well, it's AT&T.
Does anyone know when the 3G version will be released? I have read in many reviews that battery life on the WiFi is not that impressive, do you think Samsung would ship the 3G version with a larger battery?
in Malaysia the Note 8 is launched with the 3G version already, on Friday.
all specs remain the same throughout
Shame it could have done with a bigger battery by all accounts. I'll still get one, (im)patiently waiting for a 3G version, any colour, any storage size in the UK.
I have been using Galaxy note 8 n5100 as my main phone since i bought it last april 13 here in the Philippines, the battery is pretty good it can last 10 to 12hour, with moderate calls and always connected data, autosync on moderate browsing and email with minimal gps use, the battery on this phone is way better than galaxy tab 7 plus which it replaced as my primary phone

Thanks for your mini review! Waiting for it to launch in India.
How much did it cost you (in USD)? Are any freebies like PlayStore credit or Dropbox available as well?

Currently, Samsung does not seem to have any plan or intention to launch a phablet version of the device in the US. You'll likely either have to wait for them to come to their senses, or buy an international version.

I'm interested for the the international version.
Heard anything about that?
The 3G price would seem to be hovering around the $800 mark based on eBay listings for the GT-N5100, but it's availability still seems up in the air. Hopefully someone outside of the US can point you towards a reputable international seller with stock.
Wow. It will be so expensive.
Thanks for your help.
The 3G version retails around $580 in Asia. Prices will come down on eBay very soon.
I'm waiting for it in the US as well. There's a site called Negri Electronics located in Las Vegas, that has a pre order page for it, listed at $660 at the time of this post. From what I've heard, the international version should be released April 30, but I haven't found any confirmation. As far as releasing s US version, I'm sure they'll release an LTE version sooner or later for use with CDMA networks like Verizon and US Cellular, but if you plan on getting it going on T-Mobile (like me), it'll only run on their 1900mhz frequency, which allows phone calls, but mostly 2g data speeds, unless you're in an area where they've refarmed the 1900mhz frequency to run HSPA speeds. Good luck and let's hope they bring this bad boy to T-Mobile!

^Yeah, I went ahead and put in my preorder for the 16GB 3G + WiFi N5100 from Negri Electronics last week. It was the least expensive site that I could find, and I know that they are a reputable seller. And since they are in Las Vegas shipping is relatively fast to the Los Angeles area.
Up until early yesterday the site said that the "Expected Availability" date was April 23rd, but just this morning (Los Angeles time) I checked again, and now it says May 8th. Gotta wait a bit longer now and I'm chomping at the bit as it is, LOL. Still, I wish it were closer to just ~$100 (or less) of a premium for the 3G/Phone version instead of the blatant raping that it is.
And we all know that Samsung would sell EXPONENTIALLY more of these if they matched the iPad Mini pricing, and actually released the 32gb versions at the same time as the 16gb base model, and for just $30-$40 more. At least we DO have the option to add microSD cards at a reasonable cost, but really Samsung?...a $100 more for a measly 16gb additional? That's just cwazy. (Yes, I have the same issue with Apple regarding this!) And Samsung makes the RAM memory chips so it's probably something like 50¢ more in actual production cost. :/
Yes. I still ordered one, but it was not an easy (or rational) decision that I made, LOL! It's actually just a bit depressing to contemplate spending so much for their "shiny plastic products", when the competition offer much nicer physical or cosmetic designs and materials (IMO), and at less cost.
I really believe that Samsung creates amazing products, and ergonomically I prefer most of their products over Apple's in that regard. However, they did miss the mark with the speaker and capacitive button placement on the Note 8.0. And I don't know what the designers were thinking with the camera protruding so much that the tab rocks from side-to-side when placed on a table, desk, etc. :/ So much for accurate use of the S-pen (the hero feature of this device)!
IMO, the Galaxy Tab 7.7 is the ONLY Samsung mobile electronics device that I can think of where I feel they came even close to matching the build quality and physical design of their competition. But once again, they priced it way out of the market. :/
And I don't mind the use of plastics one bit if they are used properly like the polycarbonates used in some of the higher-end Nokia and HTC devices. I truly feel that when Samsung gets their build quality up to par that the vast majority of the public will have no problem paying Apple-level prices (or more), and they'll sell a bazillion just like Apple does. But they're demanding premium prices, even over what Apple demands, but for an inferior physical design/build quality (IMHO). Why does Samsung not "get this"?!? People expect a BMW or Mercedes when they pay the price for one, not a Citroen (no offense to any Citroen owners).
With the Galaxy S4, if Samsung had just stepped-up the build quality alone (plus the 13mp camera), and nothing more as compared to the GS3, I would have purchased it. But with the same 'ol shiny plastic, its just a "Meh" product to me.
Also, I was really hoping that they would have included the hardware FM Radio tuner on the International version of the Note 8.0, just as they did on the Int'l SGS2, SGS3, Note (N7000), and Note 2. Initially, I didn't think that I would use the FM tuner at all, but I've found that I use it quite a bit...saves quite a bit on data as opposed to streaming.
LOL, sorry that I veered so off topic, haha. /END OF RANT
I am very much looking forward to using the new Note 8.0!
Does the Note 8.0 Jelly bean android has the Profile option? Can multiple users work on one Note 8.0 with different profiles with thier own custimazations like Nexus 10?

I suspect the a good chunk of the additional cost here is the license for the Wacom digitizer and related technology. Samsung is being extremely aggressive in their pricing and product diversity as a way to combat Apple, so I don't think they would risk letting a well loved brand like Apple undercut them without reason.

Agree, but Do you think that even more diversification would help Samsung?
I think they should think of introducing a Note 8.0 sans the digitiser. Then they can really target the iPad Mini. It would still be a great product as many online reviews (Engadget) claim so.
That would be the true spiritual successor to the 7.7

Does anyone have any ideal of when the 32gb or 64gb version of S4 will go on sell? Anyone who works for At&t know if either will be available to purchase in the at&t store? Seen something that Radio Shack will have the 32gb version for Sale on the 27 April 2013. 16gb is not enough onboard memory for me.
I read today at android central that a Samsung rep said within the next week or two for the 32GB but I don't know how accurate that is, I also don't see a 64GB coming at all to the US.

I have the Nexus 4 16gb. Not enough memory for me. 32 would be comfortable.:good:
For those who can live with 9.8GB of space, I applaud them. I simply can't and won't. Just annoys me to have to wait, weeks, months, who knows when for the 32GB. I hear Saturday, I hear next week or two to pre-order, I hear May or June. Not sure what to believe.

Rumor from Google I/O coming in May is a revamped Nexus 4 with 32GB and LTE. May hold out for that. Now if a 32gb or G4gb Galaxy S4 come out before then, I might make that move. :highfive:
While a Nexus 4 w/ 32GB and LTE would be nice the lack of microSD doesn't make it any better for me at least.
More info on the larger memory models at http://blog.clove.co.uk/2013/04/28/...er-accessible-internal-storage/#comment-47651 and http://www.gottabemobile.com/2013/04/25/samsung-galaxy-s4-32gb-64gb-mia/ and http://www.knowyourmobile.com/samsu...msung-galaxy-s4-wheres-32gb-and-64gb-versions
I would really like to buy an S4 but not in a basic 16Gb form. I want at least 32Gb or preferably 64Gb. With Apps2SD not functional on the newer versions of Android and the internal memory being much faster than an external microSD card the larger memory versions are a must for power users. Maybe I will have to give up on Samsung and go for a 64Gb HTC One which does not have a removable battery or card slot but looks a worthy alternative to an S4 with only the basic memory.

rumors abound on when we will see it, some say the 30th, some say May or June, some say never. If ATT didn't even mention it in the fine print we would just assume no.
Bottom line is if they don't then I have to rethink my whole phone strategy. Perhaps Samsung will offer up a 32GB developer edition soon.
Just get an international version. I scored one for $699
I am giving it some time before I get an unlocked international version. I am optimistic that coming soon is May or June at the latest.

Did u get the 32gb version international and from where? i am also patiently waiting for the 32gb version in india. Dont want to make the same mistake of getting the 16 gb again like i did with the s3. Its just no enough space. One of my friends went to the samsung store to ask they say that the 32gb version will not come to india but i have a feeling they are just saying that to sell the 16gb versions but who knows.

Wow. I've searched high and low for a 32 or 64Gb version. Which size did you get and where was it from bacause there are loads of us who would like to know where to get the larger memory versions.
Why is this so difficult? Many people, like myself, were looking to finally switch from iPhone to the S4. But I won't live with 9Gb available. I just won't. They had a huge opportunity with this launch, and they have completely squandered it.
I did see 1 international (South Korean) version for sale on eBay, however apparently LTE doesn't work on that model in the US. I have seen several listings touting 32GB, but then the details pages reveal that they are all 16+16. Today thee were two new listings for 32GB that don't say 16+16, but I have emailed the sellers for clarification since I find it hard to believe that random people would get them first.
Its a myth .. i have being waiting for samsung to release anything greater then 16gb since s2 times..
S2 -> Tab 7.7 -> S3 all annouced 32 or 64.. but none reach my country.
So do not keep your hopes up for 64gb.. 32gb maybe..

i actually expected the same situation which i why i went ahead and bought the s3 16gb only to find them release the 32gb a month or so later so now im not sure what they plan to do and i just hope they release it soon cause i really want to buy the phone and dont want to get stuck with 16gb again.

32 GB at AT&T.
Hey everyone !
Just made a petition to make Samsung release the 32gb and the 64gb. I know that on AT&T the 32gb has been released, but not everywhere and the 64GB is still missing. Please sign (at least for helping others) and share the petition link: http://www.change.org/petitions/release-the-samsung-galaxy-s4-with-32-and-64-gb-internal-memory
Best regards.
Has anyone managed to discover any news as to whether the 32GB model of the G2 will be available on contract in the UK?
I saw a suggestion a few days ago that O2 had exclusivity on it - but they don't appear to be selling the 32GB and I haven't seen anything to back that comment up.
Planning on popping into a Three store to ask - but don't expect they will have any info.
What about the 32GB version from Mobicity? Anybody tried it yet?
ISILDUR
He asked for contract 32gb version.
From my searches on the net no uk providers are offering a 32gb version on contract.
Not even as an exclusive. unlike some european providers have exclusive 32gb offerings
of contracts.
it seems that only retailers are offering 32gb versions.
which is a bummer. 16gb with no sd card option. has stopped me getting this nice phone
i'm hoping and waiting to see if any providers wise up and start stocking the 32gb version.
as im sure like myself quite a few people would snap the g2 32gb up on contract.
fingers crossed
Quite so, Brock. The 16GB has never really been enough on my Galaxy Nexus. I'm not putting myself through another two years of carrying 40% of the music I want.
Agreed... I just wish they would realise that we want higher storage. That stopped me even thinking of getting a N4 (at the time) & now the G2. Shame really.
Also... Surely, 64GB should be standard by now anyway?. Its funny how Clockspeeds and GPU's always keep raising... Yet, storage is still the same as a mobile that is over 2/3 years old?!.

you can use a usb stick with a very short female (full size for usb stick) usb to male mini usb (phone end) cable,widely available as the phone recognises it and then you can keep your extra stuff on usb I know its not ideal but it does work
Fyi it will be available November 21, apparently a Sony store exclusive, at least in terms of brick and mortar stores. I hope Amazon or ncix etc get it too.
It's only available in white with 32gb for $529.99. Saw their system with info today.
SPECIALBM10200 gets you $10 off if ordered online. Expect better codes black Friday!
Yeah mobilesyrup mentioned it last week. I am happy its not 549, or 559 like some people though. Cheaper than what expansy is currently selling it for. Is it actually the 32gb model and not 16? currently their z2 is 529 for 16gb. If its actually 32 for that price then i will probably get it over the new nexus and the samsung tab s, as that will be a pretty good price, even if it only comes in white (I want the black >.<)

Good. With how bad our dollar is compared to the US I'm fine with 30$ more.
$530 for the 32gb is what I was thinking it would be, though still hopping it would be lower...
Now I'll have to decide if i go with this or the Nvidia Shield LTE (for 32gb)

I was strongly considering the Shield too based on the specs. However, there are too many issues and uncertainties:
- build quality and cracking even on "fixed" models
- wifi stability and signal issues
- random unresponsiveness and crashing
- black screens requiring reboot and non-responsiveness
- severe battery drain
- charging issues (ie plugged in but will not charge past a certain percent) plus it will stop charging at 100% and discharge to 0 overnight.
There are all sorts of attempts at fixes, but I believe the issues not worth the hassle, even to get one of them. It will be interesting to see if Lollipop remedies any of the issues.
