Im holding fire on an online order to see if it will be in the shops on Monday, if not i will order it Monday for delivery Tuesday... The stores usually get stock the same day as their online service

Yeah its a pain...
I got my hand burnt before preordering the desire and the desire z so i dont ever preorder anymore. You never get it any faster, actually there are always people that get it before the pre-orderer, its fooked up;(
I spoke to a guy at carphone and he said it may come into stock tomorrow and may even be sent for saturday

The Google HQ peeps have *just* got theirs today (london based), so reviews should be along soon.

Samsung Galaxy Note launch in London tomorrow.

Time
03 November · 12:30 - 14:30
Location
The Carphone Warehouse
272-274 Oxford Street
London, United Kingdom
I guess this is the UK launch for sim free and contract phones, (rather than the EU phones that us early adopters have got).

Is also mentioned London Evening Standard with a competition too to win 10,000 GBP in store.

Did anyone go to this?
Did it matter if you got there at 7am or did the people who arrived at 12:30pm get the same deals?
What sort of competition was it to win the £10k worth of bits.....and did they win them there and then?
Was it well attended?

They were giving Notes as prizes too. Anyone on here win one?

No-one went....drat I knew I should have gone.

I went after my lectures, there wasn't that many people there so the odds were pretty good. I was in the 3rd batch....and I won!! unfortunately they weren't handing them out there, they took my address and hopefully it should arrive monday.

Argh just seen this thread, wish I had seen it sooner would have gone! :'(

I suggest you order online since they are available to order online right now to avoid disappointment. I prefer the silver personally.

Look at the P4U forum on XDA people are getting them next day. I have already got mine.

When I read the terms for p4u they stated that you needed to be a UK resident to order.

UK orders delayed?

I pre ordered my G2 about a month ago and rang Car phone warehouse to confirm my delivery for tomorrow which they did state at the time of ordering that i would receive the phone on the 1st October. The lady dealing with me put me on hold and came back a few minutes later and told me that no stock had been received and it will be a few weeks before they start to ship them out.
Has anyone else pre ordered and found out that the phone has been delayed?

all over the Netherlands thats the case. I got mine by sheer luck. Was searching all merchants and found one awesome one that had it in stock. maybe with luck you can do the same.

I was looking for the Z1 last Friday in the Netherlands, at the mediamarkt They didn't have any, however by surprise, the lg g2 was already available and in stock.by the looks of the device and the fact the screen is superb I immediately got one on contract. They only had 2 though, so i guess there isn't a lot in stock, since the major Dutch providers, and phonestores don't present it as in stock. Lg Netherlands however posted a tweet that both the 16 and the 32 gb version should be available this week.

Its amazing how one person can tell you one thing and the next another lol She even tried to encourage me to cancel my order. She went away to ask a manger and she even raised a ticket to "higher up" to see why they advertised the phone for the 1st October when they knew they wouldn't be available,Id be amazed if i had a delivery email from them this week and i know this has happened before with them on the HTC One! Fingers crossed

I'm in Australia and have had one on preorder from an aussie supplier here for about a week. I just got the despatch email this morning saying it was on it's way ..... from Hong Kong!!!
Maybe they are delays getting them shipped out in large volumes overseas?

Just spoke to carphone warehouse and they now have it in stock! being shipped for delivery tomo! although without the free printer and case as this is not in stock yet and i would have to wait for that to come in stock before they could send the phone! seems like a convenient way of delaying the order.

There are 2 corporate stores here. 1st one gave me that rigamarole. 2nd said, yes we have them, come on in.

Got mine, too! They wouldn't let me change colors, but I didn't really press since I thought I might regret going coral blue.

Did you guys just take your bare phone (without accessories/box) and get a brand new one in box?

I was using a loaner s7 edge, and I turned in everything. The new Note was completely brand new in box with all accessories.

I brought only the phone. I kept all the accessories. I left with the new Note 7 still in the box. They activated it in the box. Wouldn't let me leave without activation, but talked them into not going through the setup there.
Just say you do youtube videos of the unboxing and you need the box sealed and they 'should' let you.
I also heard of someone saying 'UPS left me the phone sealed and not activated, I expect to leave here the same way'

I just swapped mine out today at my local corp store. I had my old box in the car just in case I needed it. They let me keep all the items in the new box and did not request any of the old items back. They only needed the phone.

im in west valley utah and they saying they have the replacements but cant start movin em till tommorow!! thats such B.S.

I pre-ordered and purchased my original Note 7 from Sprint.com. I was able to replace mine today. (Here's a more detailed writeup). I had to call around to several stores to find one with new Note 7's in stock. Don't just call one store - call around. I was also able to keep the old accessories (I did turn in my old headsets by mistake, but I don't care about them). The new phone does not (yet) have the green battery indicator.
Good luck this week folks!

I just got my replacement from Best Buy and I was the first person that the Mobile department employee did the recall with and he had to read all the instructions before he could give me the phone and he did read that the phone needs to be in excellent working condition and not damaged.
