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?
I have heard Tuesday night in London samsung store experience is having a event at night

I've been trying, I have rung countless stores. Carphonewarehouse have them in stock as of Thursday but refuse to sell them, all local stores to me also say they can't sell them till 25th :/
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.

I have pre ordered too mate, I will call them tomorrow regards the price. Any idea what time they are open until on Tuesday? I could go straight from work maybe it'd be a rush but would save me wasting a day Wednesday travelling down
They will be open until their usual time of 9pm on Tuesday.

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?
Thanks.

Have you received yours from Simply Electronics? I ordered mine a week ago, the money was only taken on Monday but no email confirming dispatch ... cheap but terrible service in my opinion. I have phoned them twice and they have always had stock so simply no excuse for the delay in my mind. Also no option of express delivery annoyed me so I can't really recommend Simply Electronics - wish I'd bought from Amazon.De instead
I've just got one free from buy mobiles.net for £32 a month on o2 with 300 mins unlimited txt 500mb and free bt openzone wifi.

We ordered on the 2nd, no not yet but apparently it is coming on friday, they seem to be extremely slow, but they are no doubt legit, i have seen alot of people complaining about slow delivery, but they seem to get the products... also if there ebay feedback is anything to go by they seem to be good, so we'll see what happens on friday. its stpidly frustrating though!!!
I can almost forgive Simply Electronics as I think delivery was attempted of my GN this morning... I'll find out tomorrow when I can try and get it back from the Royal Mail sorting office! (not that Simply Electronics told me it was on its way or gave me the tracking numbers... and assuming that's what the missed delivery was...)
If you can stand to wait for delivery of 10-14 days they're probably ok as the price was by far the best I've seen PLUS I found an £8 voucher online which made the price even better

Amazon.de ran out of stock so only Amazon market sellers have them and are charging a fortune for them,
Wait till they have them back in stock.
I am waiting for the White Note from amazon.de
Got one for you
Used 15 days. Samsung screen sticker still in place. Protected buy Nillkin silicon case from day 1.
XXKL7 firmware. DBT CSC code switchable to anything you like since it's OXAKL7 CSC.
Under 400£. PM me.
Came from GS2 can't imagine going back to it. So much screen real estate, easily pocketable.
Try it U'll love it.
In case you wonder why I'm getting rid of it : just ordered a so gorgeous WHITE Note
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
apparently you can get it on contract with low minutes on O2 via third party seller and if you got to thrid party seller via cashback websites like quidco or topcashback then you get about 100£ for contract phones with some providers. Plus if you drop the data plan on the O2 contract then you get the phone for about £440 with free flip cover.
Plus bonus you get Uk charger unlike amazon.de and also you get free 18-24m payments without interest charge if you treat it like buying a sim free phone. mentioned on hotukdeals threads about samsung galaxy note. search for those threads if interested.
Just Google these guys... joke. Simply electronics took 2 weeks, 4 emails and 4 phone calls and a brief communication from Google check out to get me my refund. Keeping in mind I requested the refund 2 hours after payment!
Simply electronics...? simply stay well clear.

There seem to be about as many positive as negative reviews online! and the ebay rating is pretty high (98.9%), esp considering the number of transactions (15443)...
I did get an email from them today apologising for the delay (but not quite managing to actually let me know when it would be dispatched!)
So I live in hope.
I also ordered one to the states on Jan. 9 and I'm still waiting to be dispatched. I don't know if it will ever come but like you said, the reviews for them are lopsided. Either extremely good or extremely bad.... Has anyone here order from them and gotten one? Was it new and comes with everything including product being sealed?
I have seen a couple of other people in this forum say they have recieved theirs from there...
for the american above me.... you could be waiting a while, im in the uk and i ordered on the 2nd... they said it would be here today, but alas, nothing,im really hoping tomorow! if it gets to monday that would be the start of the third week of waiting!

Not really i pre ordered my HTC Desire and LG Optimus 3d and it came to my house 9am on the day both phones were released...
Carphone warehouse on Vodafone £31 per month for 24 months, 32 gig in blue free.
800 minutes any network
Unlimited texts
500 meg data
O2 gave me such a fu©king run around with promising to match that deal, then 2 days later saying they couldn't that I decided to go to Vodafone after 11 years with O2.
Yesterday O2 send me a mail saying my order was being processed for £250 handset at £75 a month for 24 months... I was proper peeved. Sorted now, but put me off O2 a hell of a lot.
this deal is the cheapest I seen so far I think.
Edit: Carphone Warehouse also recon I'll get the handset on release day or day later... not sure I believe that, but we'll see I guess.

It's actually an upgrade. I called dial-a-phone and one other company who's name I can't even remember, and they told me I can't upgrade through them until my contract is actually finished (October 26th)
I can only upgrade a month early if it's direct from tmo. Looks like I have to wait till Monday

The reason they don't need to be on the networks system is, the phone supplied through p4u, cpw, etc are often SIM free. So effectively your network contract might as well be SIM only. All the reseller needs is a price for the phone and an agreed commission for selling plans at particular prices and then they can start taking pre-orders. The bonus is no network branding, which can range from acceptable to dreadful.

you've gained 250MB but lost 300 minutes for £1 extra a month. If you don't use your minutes then yes its a good deal. But did you get cashback, as stated earlier I got £200 (well they said it will be in my bank within 42 days)...
Just been told by mobiles.co.UK they don't start to ship until week monday so what company's will ship tomorrow

No I don't get cash back I'm afraid. This is an orange contract but they're giving me 2 orange swappables. That didn't mean anything to me until they explained I can use 2 services that don't tap into my data. I.e. Being able to watch certain programmes or streaming/downloading music without using my data.
Edit: I've never used my full 1200 minutes in all honesty. I rarely use my phones for calls and I still have my magic numbers I guess.
Thats actually a very very good deal!

Hi,
It would appear that as of tomorrow (13th) we will be able to order the Nex4 from the Play store (hopefully with delivery for the 14th). There are also rumours that CPW will have stock from the 14th (although their website says delivery 13th).
Wondering if anyone has any more concrete info... I am mainly wondering if there is anywhere to pick up a Nex4 tomorrow (13th) for the Play store prices and sim-free as per hte Galaxy Nexus and Nex7.
Anyone???

CPW stock is for contract-only at the moment. They're not selling it SIM-free. I asked at the Leeds branch yesterday.
Prices start at £31 per month on a 24 month contract, so that's £744 for a £279 phone. It's just madness!
I'll be buying the Nexus 4 from the Play store to go with my £15 per month contract-free 3 mobile tariff with all-you-can-eat data.

not really the phone is more around the £450 maybe more its just that google are really subsidizing the handset by quite a bit so if you think about it the phone is worth the rrp which will be around 450 mark maybe more lol
Best bet in UK is that play store imho

Yeah you won't find it at Play Store prices anywhere else because Google are subsidising the price, hence it being so low. There was a story about a Spanish website who are refusing to stock it because LG will only sell it for over £100 more than the Play Store.
Basically, your only options are Play Store or pay more (catchy )

Has that actually been confirmed? Spain may just be being treated completely differently - they might just be getting shafted thanks to the current financial situation there.
Does anyone know, what time does the sale starts?

No one does.
Ok so I am putting my browser in F5 mode
There was a theory in another thread that it would be 5pm UK time, based on the Nexus 7 having gone on sale at 9am PDT on its day of release.

If that was the case, they wouldn't be delivered on the 14th, which is what I thought was supposed to be happening?
I am looking at three likely possibilities, in ascending order of likelihood, for UK buyers:
- Midnight tonight - Pretty unlikely as that would actually be 4pm on the 12th in Pacific time (Google's own timezone). I can only see this if they launch in each territory separately.
- 8am tomorrow morning - More likely as that would be a midnight launch in Pacific time.
- 5pm tomorrow afternoon - That would be 9am Pacific time. This seems most likely given that it's normal office hours and the time they've launched other devices in the Play Store.
I've still entered my email for notification, plus set up http://www.changedetection.com/ to email me when the page changes! I have then set tasker to fire an alarm if I get emails from either of these! I'll still be up at midnight anyway though, and get up at 6 for work.
I went to CPW today and they said they are not allowed to sell them till the 14th, and are under strict instructions to "NOT SHOW THEM TO ANYONE" until then!
He also said they didn't know if they were going to be sold Sim free, but if they were he thought they would be £400 off contract. He also said that someone else had been in earlier on today asking about it!
I also went into T-Mobile (EE), to get a Micro-Sim (which they gladly took £10 off me for the privilege), I said I was buying a new phone, the girl asked where I was buying it, I said the Google Play Store and she looked at me like I was mental!!
She asked what it was called and I said it was the Nexus 4, and she said she had never heard of it! Glad to see that carriers are keeping their staff up to date with upcoming devices (I know T-Mobile is not getting it as such, but Google selling it for £279 is pretty major news in the Mobile world).
I then pulled out my GNex to change sim cards and she asked what that one was? I said it was the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, and she hadn't heard of that either - even though its a year old phone!!!

Haha! Did she actually know what a mobile phone was? Or was she an iPhone user
I was in a CPW today in London, the guy had heard of it and said it should be available from the 14th. He didn't even know that there was a UK Google Play store and that it could be ordered from there. He didn't know the price either and was basically just saying get it from the play store if you can.
5PM tomorrow leaves a very tiny chance of receiving the device on the 14th, even if there is the next day option at checkout. Although ebuyer lets you order next day up until 11pm so it is possible to do from a logistical point. Fingers crossed

"However, it seems Google has other plans for its new phone and tablet launch. Google Germany employee Stefan Keuchel took to Google+ today to inform followers that the new devices would not be available at the stroke of midnight, as some had speculated. Instead, he says he's learned that Germans will be able to start ordering devices tomorrow afternoon or early evening."
Still think it will be a global launch, but based on the Yanks. So most probably tomorrow evening seems logical. Next day delivery is still possible as long as they don't use crap couriers like Yodel!

Yeah I think she was an iPhone user, since she said she preferred the App Store to Google Play!

There's a thread going with T-Mobile pre-orders in the Q&A forums. I pre-ordered on the 18th, first date it was available. Had an estimated delivery date of the 26th which came and went. My card was just charged yesterday, thinking they will start shipping today or tomorrow. My status is still as backordered.
This whole pre-order thingy is whack, should have just waited till Wednesday and gone in to get the N3 and Gear watch same time.

I pre-ordered on the 19th. My cash was held on Friday but I haven't received any shipping info. I've called in asking for the status and was told they won't ship anything until the 2nd. I'm thinking I should have just gone into the store since I ordered ground shipping and will have to wait that long now. Kinda sucks.
I feel yall...whats the damn benefit of preordering if you get it when the stores get it...hell you could save on the shipping cost...COME ON T-MOBILE

Now that you mentioned shipping that just made me more upset, $25 overnight shipping to get it maybe 1 or 2 days later than stores? WTF....
Also if there is a problem with the device, ordering in the store is MUCH easier because you can just walk in and swap it out. Online orders you have to ship it back to them, wait up to a week for them to look over it and hope they don't lose it (they lost my S4 for 3 weeks in their receiving warehouse) then mail you out another and you get charged $5 for a "swap" fee.
Top it off, you can't cancel the order once you pre-order it. This whole pre-order thingy stinks of BS. T-Mobile rep said to wait for it to ship (whenever that will be) then wait for the UPS man and refuse delivery, that's the ONLY way to cancel it. You'll lose your shipping charges too. Nice eh?
I forgive them though, they did get my LG G2 delivered to me 2 weeks before the store release date. =)
I had to order mine online to quality for my promotion (10% off service and $50 account credit). It also claims I'll have 2-4 days to wait for it (free shipping, no expedited option was available). I'm willing to be patient to save $218 over the course of two years, though

Went to the closest T-Mobile store yesterday. They will start selling them tomorrow. They will only get 8. The sales rep said I should be there as early as possible. I will have it first thing in the morning.

I called 5 stores and visited one in person on Monday. All the stores have them in stock and go on sale Wednesday. I didn't hear anything about low stock from any of them. Most likely the rep just wants to get you in there asap to get a commission, lol. I had one rep badger me to sign up with service now, then come back and buy the phone on Wed, lol.

I'm in SC and will also pick my note 3 up tomorrow around 10am we they open. And my area has 2 locations each with only 8-10 black in stock.
Tmobile Note 2 ♡°♡ Unlock At&T Mega 6.3
I was also planning to pick it up in store, because the preorder didn't really seem to have any advantage to it.
I did some calling around, and it does seem that each store isn't getting too many units. My local retailer is
about 10 minutes away (running), and it opens at 10 AM. I'm also actually a college student, and I have a calc. lecture
until 9:50... I'm really tempted to leave class 20 minutes early. haha. Is it worth it?
The T-Mo Corp Store I work in as a RSA got 15 of the black only. We do not have a Demo phone to show customers. I will be buying my phone tonight before I leave the store. Most of the stores that I talk to got under 15 some got demos some did not. My store has never sold out of a Galaxy phone on day one.

3 hour count down. Stopped by the T-Mobile store again yesterday. They have 8 black and 5 white in stock. The rep said he doesn't think it will sell out early. Still I start work at 9:30 and I'll be there at 8:30.

I pre-ordered on Sept 18, it is shipping today. The tracking number says it is in Kentucky. Whoo hooo!

Well I have had mine since 1034am and so far I'm not liking it as much as the mega 6.3. It's basically the same size as the note 2 the no big difference there. There is auto correct while typing. It is rooted however the system is keeping certain root apps from working, such as wifi trevE mod which I still haven't figured out. Anyone that has a work around on the wifi trevE mod please by all means help me out with a link & screen shot of the settings. Thanks in advance.
