The Samsung Galaxy S III has arrived in Dubai a week earlier than expected and is already on sale for $666.
This has been confirmed by a vigilant Reddit user who noticed an "Available Today" sign under the S III name in a mall store in Dubai. Speaking to an employee he gathered that the store has plenty of Galaxy S III units in stock and all being white variants (no word on which internal storage version it was but we're guessing 16GB).
Other users have also found the phone available (and purchased it) but for around $680. We guess a hefty bunch of people who pre-ordered the Galaxy S III will be less than impressed right about now.
One of the visitors of such a store sent us the pic you see on the left. Unfortunately, the store has already ran out of stock when he got there, but reportedly, more units are on the way, due in the next few days. He confirms the phone was priced at 2500 AED or about US$680.
And hey if you're still on the fence about getting an S III, you might find this useful.

did you preorder for white or blue?
Dupe of this thread.
Please search before posting.
Thank you.
Having been to the Samsung store in Westfield Stratford and been told that they may never stock the 32GB version of the Note 8.0, it looks like I am going to have to find somewhere to import one. Not had much luck with a google search for "Samsung Note 8.0 32GB".
I was hoping people could start listing what countries and specific sites have it available so I can find one to ship here to the UK.
I had expected a black 32GB version to be available at or near launch. If it was, I would have bought it without hesitation. The delay may lead me to bypass the Galaxy Note 8.0 altogether. A shame.
Just got a reply from Samsung customer services who told me that there is no planned release date for a 32GB model at the moment.

I believe it. I think they figure 16GB + 64GB micro sd card is enough for everyone.
I still hope they release a black version, though.
Does ne1 know if any variant of the S5 will have 32GB or more of internal memory/storage?

For what it's worth - I talked to the mgr at our at&t corporate store yesterday and he said AT&T will definitely be coming out with a 32gb phone and a gold version. He didn't have the timeframe. I've known him for couple years and he hasn't lied yet on telling me about future products. So I brought my S5 back yesterday and will wait a couple more weeks to see if the 32gb shows up. (test driving a M8 in the mean time) If it doesn't show up in the near future, I'll go get the 16gb S5.

OK thanx. I guess I'll wait as well.
So, my question is
I have the US Cellular 16gb Samsung Galaxy note 10.1 that Im selling but not sure what price I should aim for.
I know I purchased it for 289.00 about a year ago. So I was thinking like 240 - 220? what do you guys think is fair?
I would suggest looking on swappa and eBay to get an idea of prices. Please don't ask in forum. We no longer have an 'in forum' sales area. I'll close this in case it turns into an I'll give you '$x' but good luck with selling your tab.
Regards
Chris
I can't seem to find anywhere to pre-order the note edge. I want a contract-free unlocked phone.

I did it at www.clove.co.uk .
I don't know in wich country you are living in but ask them about the region lock thing, they should be able to unlock it for you if this is the case.
Cheers~
How much are they charging? Or is it just a waiting list. I emailed them asking about dates, prices, and lock. Will update when I get a reply.
Any other shops out there?

I hope it is that soon.
I live in the US. I know that the Note 4 will be coming out in October of this year.
Then they said the note edge will be released before the end of this year. I did read somewhere that the Canada release was going to be the bring of 2015 and it would be after the US launch.
either way I am getting this phone ASAP.
Just pre ordered the black version of Edge from Clove in UK. Hope Samsung releases the phone soon.
Preordering in Romania
Hi there!
In Romania you can preorder the 64 gb version on quickmobile.ro at a price of about 1.000 euros!!!!
A bit too much if you ask me! (taxes included).
Lol isn't that too much must be an error
I saw this ebay ad for a Galaxy Note Edge pre-order for £559 with est delivery for 28 October to 4t Nov.

Seems a bit doggy - title was misleading, it says Galaxy Note 4 Edge. So I asked the following questions:
1. Can you confirm it's the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 or the Galaxy Note Edge you're selling? It's confusing because the title says Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Edge.
2. Is this UK or International version?
3. Are you selling the 32GB or 64GB model?
4. Since this is a pre order, what are your policy on cancellation?
Got this reply back:
Hi
Follow the below link ..
www.samsung.com/uk/GalaxyNote4
2GB RAM+16GB ROM
Product is full uk spec version.
1 year warranty
Aiden
Now I am convinced its doggy!
But aren't the international versions lacking the proper LTE bands? I really don't want to spend that much $ and not get LTE!
anybody tried yatango? it says here in the article they have it omg

Yatango.com.au seems that is shipping only in Australia
Hi guys,
I am considering buying this from Japan via internet, I wanted to know the following:
If Samsung releases updates firmware, will I be able to update the phone?
Is there anything else I need to watch out for?
Many thanks in advance.
how much are they selling in japan and doesnt the back cover come with those branded japanese telecom companies?

I saw them on ebay for $999.
And yes they will have the branding on the battery back.
And some wont have the LTE since the US uses a different brand for it.
Its best to just wait till he hits your area and buy it then.

Yep, its the one on ebay. I asked seller some questions about it working in UK, they replied back saying it won't work on all carriers. I will probably have to give up on that one.
The problem is no one has even the faints of idea when it would come to UK. I don't want to wait for months. Might force myself to buy the Note 4.

Waiting is better then giving in for something you don't want or spending money on something that might not work for you.
When they had talk about the note 4 I wasn't to much in to it.
I had an s2 for a very long time. Everybody ask when I was going to upgrade to the s3. But i didnt want it since it wasn't that big of a difference. Then the htc one m7 came out so I got that since it was a bigger upgrade for me.
then I got the note 3 from there.
And I know how samsung does things and knew it wouldn't be a big leap. From my note 3 to the note 4.
But then I hear about the edge and I've been waiting that phone since they show the tech demo last year.
So Yea wait for what you really want. Or you could rock the note 4 and sell it when the edge is released in your area.
or you can blow a hole in your wallet and buy both haha

Thanks for you advice. I agree with what you're saying, I know I'll never be entirely happy and will always be looking out for the Edge. But not knowing when, if ever it will come to my country is the problem.
Avenging,
Wish I could buy both but that won't happen.
I think I'll get N4 now and sell it off as soon as the Edge becomes available.
