Do you really think they are gonna sell out?
The only people that know about it are people who have been searching on the net for it. Iv seen no advertisements in the UK about it yet.
I'm gonna go to Phones4U tomorrow and check it out.
If its only on Orange then im not getting it until its available on different carriers.
Orange has gave me hell for the last two years.. I'm never going back to them

You too? I've had bad experiences with Orange too here. I'm going to try and get the Phone SIM free, failing that Pay as you go. Then I'm getting the One plan from 3 mobile. Unlimited data provides for one hell of a dongle.

I don't think I've been this excited about a phone since the iPhone 4. No pun intended lol. was told on Saturday to expect 26th delivery then a email at 2am to say 27th now nothing... I don't think its coming somehow

Phones4u just called me to say a SGS2 will be delivered to their shop in ten minutes.
Contract only though! Bugger.. the wait continues......
Anyone managed to get a sim free or PAYG from P4U?

I just called my local Phones4U and asked if they are doing it sim-free and they said they won't know until they get it in tomorrow.
So fingers crossed when I call tomorrow they do it sim-free.

Liverpool store have it. Went in today and had a little go. £35 cheapest contract, on 02 they could do it for £37. I loved it, but like you already ordered with buymobilephones.net. Has your order been processed with buymobilephones.net yet mate?

They didn't happen to have it on Three did they? I'm opting for the One Plan at £35 over 24m if possible!
And they haven't processed it yet, no. I don't know why though. I'm hoping Phones4U have a good deal so I can just get it tomorrow instead, it'd be a lot less hassle!

I believe he said Vodaphone and Orange would be roughly £32.50-£35 with trade in; and 02 would be £37, I don't believe they had it on three.
As for buymobilephones I've just had an email back from them today regarding my query about processing incase anybody is interested. I suspect this will be same for most of the retailers online (mobiles.co.uk/dialaphone/buymobilephones) etc will probably all send out roughly the same time they told me:
Thanks for your email.
In regard to your query about your handset delivery, as the handset you have chosen has not yet been released by the manufacturer we are unable to process the order until this has arrived with ourselves. The handset is due to be released at the start of May and once this arrives with ourselves we will email you to confirm when this has been dispatched.
If you have any further queries please feel free to contact us at [email protected].
Alternatively, please visit our Help & Support pages for answers to all your queries.
Sincerely,
Emma
So if they have yet to receive the handset, yet phones4u already have them in stock, I wonder when they will receive there allocation. Perhaps retailers won't receive them until the latest date possible (Saturday/following Tuesday) to stop them being sold and sent out early.
It did tempt me to buy today from phones4u, but at an extra £5 a month, it just didn't tempt me enough, considering that's an extra £120 over the contract.
Anyway hope that helps anybody waiting to get there phones; I guess we wont get them until Thursday/Friday next week now.

Phones 4 u says their in stock however i cant find an option to buy off contract or ship to the united states.

[Q] UK Release - Any confirmed stores?

Hi all,
I'm in the UK at the moment but due to be going away on business for the next 6 months.
I'm wondering if there have been any confirmed stores that will stock the N4 on the release day?
I remember the leaked pics from CPW showing that it will cost £380 sim free. Does anyone have any confirmation if this will be confirmed?
Due to leave on the 15th and worried that Play Store delivery wont come in Time..

O2 have got the exclusivity of the handset for the first month, may have it in for then........

Ive read that in a few places, but apparently the launch event in association with CPW will allow people to purchase it on O2 or Vodafone... Also first 100 people get a free 32" TV

There is a lot of speculation that CPW will have it sim free at Play Store prices on Wednesday

Phones4u told to stop selling by HTC

I called Clove to find out why phones4u were selling sim free phones and they weren't, this is their response.
Mike
We too have heard this over the weekend.
The response from HTC is that this was an error and all stock was not to be sold until the 29th March
We understand from HTC that Phone4u are no longer shipping HTC ONE
Our first stock (physical stock) is due on the 29th
We are very frustrated that a small qty of stock appears to have actually landed in Phones4U and shipped

I have just had a live chat with Phones4U and was told they still had stock and would be delivered the next working day. I have already ordered with them and he confirmed I should get a delivery email today.
I hope they are right and Clove are just trying to get your business.

Might double check my order then as I placed mine on Sunday just gone.

I ordered one this morning: I wonder when (if) they stop delivering them...

They should confiscate the remaining stock and send it over to Handtec

Quick chat session with p4u who said my phone is in the warehouse awaiting to be dispatched so if they are telling the truth I should have an email from p4u later on today confirming that.
Also if they get told to stop selling them surely thats worse for HTC???

I think they will sell their current stock, just miffed and so is Clove.
What is the point of having a release date if you are not going to stick to it.
I understand why they start getting stock in early but it's naughty to start selling when your competition are not allowed too.

From Dialaphone or P4U?

Sorry but Clove are talking BS. They are upset they didn't get priority stock and are trying to justify it by saying P4U did something wrong. The fact is HTC didn't make as many as hoped. We believe this due to be a shortage of certain components. They decided to release the stock they did have, and for whatever reason we will never know, decided instead of spreading it thinly to many suppliers, gave all the stock to P4U (and some locked stock to 3 and Vodafone). I am sure it is completely up to P4U whether they are using that stock for contracts or handset only.

Exactly! HTC actually sub contract the handing on the phones sold on their website to a company that is part of the wider company that owns Phones4U.
TBH, before last week i'd never heard of half these websites people were buying phones from. God knows why people are buying it sim free from anyone but Phones4u, it has been and still is the cheapest place around.

UK availibility

I have been looking at a number of posts showing that some areas like the US have early availability. There was even one showing a youtube clip of a US T-mobile store with someone in the store demoing 3 Note 3s and saying at the end to a girl that she would go home with one. I wanted to know if anyone has seen or knows of a UK retailer that is selling them early in shop?

O2 refresh pre-order
I did pre-order mine via O2 refresh, then I spoke to customer services and they confirmed that it should be delivered on the 25th.
fingers crossed

I tried to preorder one from Three UK last night but in the end they said they'd call me Wednesday (launch day?) when they are in stock and get me one sent out for Thursday. Might ring a Three store first thing Wed. and go get one if they have stock. Not bad deal, £99 for phone on 24 month contract with 500 mins, 5000 texts and unlimited data, soon to be 4g too

Want to get this from Amazon UK... no sign of stock yet though!

I pre-ordered at the Samsung Experience Store in London. The initial price was £649, but they are doing a promotion to trade in any phone (doesn't need to be a smartphone or even working) for a £50 discount, making the Note 3 £599.
However I popped in to the store tonight and saw that they had reduced the non-promotional price to £629. I was refunded the difference, so my Note 3 will now cost £579 (trading in an old dumb-phone handset I have lying in a drawer). The price with the promo (limited to the first 500 pre-orders apparently) is the cheapest I have seen in the UK and is actually now cheaper than the online sites if you have a spare old phone (or you could buy an uber cheap one off EBay). For the promo, you must provide the trade-in phone when picking up the Note 3.
I can also confirm that the store will be hosting a special launch night at 6pm on Tuesday the 24th, where people who pre-ordered can pick up their handsets the day before the official release and likely a couple of days before online orders from other retailers will be delivered. They said they're due to get some accessories in on the same day, but could not confirm any pricing for those at the moment. I've seen some sites listing the S-View cases at around £45-50 which seems pretty steep. I'm hoping that they might have some sort offers (or maybe even freebies) available at the launch event, but I'm not holding my breath!
Hope this information is helpful to someone. I think you can pre-order the Note 3 from the store by phone and have them post the handset to you, but I don't think that would qualify for the trade-in offer, so at £629 you're better off going with Handtec or Clove.
Edit - I forgot to mention that they also had demo handsets in both white and black out on display in the store tonight, they look awesome!

It seems to me from reading this thread, seeing Youtube posts and also going to shops in London that many shops have already received them. But for some reason the UK stores are more afraid to violate Samsung's embargo than some of the US and other shops. I will make another go on Monday and see if I can at least get a sighting. If I am successful I will post the information here.

Is there any way of knowing if you are one of the first 500? If I place a pre-order now with the trade in old phone option at the price of £579, and at the time of pick up they say I wasn't one of the 500 - could I cancel my order?

Is this normal?

lol did you try and see if you could use the fact that people on here have already gotten theirs as a way to get yours sooner too? I'm just worried that there is a problem with my order. But I guess it saying that the status is not available doesn't necessarily mean there is a problem... right?

I'm not familiar with Best Buy's pre-order process, have they already charged you? If they have, I wouldn't be worried.

It shows up in my transactions as a pending charge. They said they would charge the card once the order was shipped, but I've just signed in and I don't even see the pending charge in there anymore.

Definitely worth a call

Ugh... This sucks... they say there doesn't appear to be a problem, but I'm being told that they won't even ship it out to me until the 10th.. Why would I preorder on line if I can just go to BB when it opens on release day and pick one up?? I knew I should have just ordered from Tiger Direct...
Update:
I canceled my order with BB. Tiger Direct just got one more customer.

Was in best buy today and peered in the cage in the Samsung area of the store and what did I see? Boxes of note 2014s... Right there in plain site. Asked the sales guys about it and they said no, we don't have them. Took them over to the cage and said what is that... Oh man we can't sell those until the 10th so we better hide them. Wouldn't sell me one but they did open the cage and put them out of sight. I mentioned they were already shipping from other retailers but they wouldn't budge. Oh well, wait for the preorder shipment.

Well hopefully I'll still be able to get it on before the end of the week (Thursday or Friday). I usually go home on Friday afternoons to visit my parents and I'd really like to be able to set up the device over the weekend so I can have it ready for school on Monday.

I preordered from Best Buy only because I didnt have any funds available on my other credit cards. That might be a plus since BB's protection plans have always done me good so I got that for my note too. My order says "in progress" and when I click on the actual note line item, it tells me status not available. When I made the purchase though it did tell me it wouldnt ship until the 10th.
But now it makes me wonder if I should just change the method of shipping to pick up at the store.

Yea I placed an order with Tiger Direct, and I'll speak with them tomorrow or Monday. If they can't promise me a tablet by Thursday then I'll cancel my order with them and just call my local Best Buy and do an express check out. For some reason I don't have the option to place a pre-order for in-store pickup. Hopefully Tiger Direct will ship mine early, but I'm not expecting much. I'm prepared to just go to BB right when it opens to purchase on in the store. I've learned my lesson. I won't fool around with pre-orders anymore. Better off just picking up in store.

Idk how you guys pre ordered yours from best buy. But I went to store. Put 50 bucks down payment on device. So basically they hold one for me till whenever I walk in store and pay remainder once there in stock. Officially

Ordered from BB
I never had a problem pre ordering from BB, they just can't sell it until the release date. I got the Black 32gb. We will have it on the 10th, sometimes the email comes a day earlier also.

I usually get all my devices in white (in this case white 32GB) but thinking I should have gotten the black. The back part getting dirty is starting to get to me since I'll be using it every single day for hours on end. Here's hoping they ship today. I'm using this tablet for college and it would be great to have the opportunity to have the weekend to get it ready for next week.
That's only if my anxiousness doesn't get to me and I don't cancel the preorder to pick up at the store. ^^;;

Best Buy preorder
Just got my confirmation email that my tablet will be available for pick up tomorrow. Yeaaaa

Me too! Available to pick up tomorrow at Best Buy.
Sweet!!!

Awesome :good:
I'm hoping to just go in and pick one up off the shelf. Didn't preorder.
I like the white but I think I'll buy it in black. I'm afraid the white stylus might show wear/dirt over time.
