Forbes article pretty much cinches Nov 12 release date - Nexus 6 General

Besides Tmobile stating a Nov 12 release date, the forbes article here pretty much cinches the Nov 12th date by stating thats when the actual review embargo lifts. There is a small chance some preorders might arrive a day or two before that, but realistically the 12th date is a solid release day. I don't think google will give a huge chunk of average joes their N6 before the embargo date, if actual journalist can't review it until the 12th I doubt they want the joes putting out reviews instead.

Its because TMobile releases it on Nov 12, after which point there's point of an NDA. It doesn't mean other carriers will have it on the 12th. So the article really doesn't tell us anything.

Others carriers are up in the air, but Im speaking purely of the "preorders" (yes I got one!) or phones from the play store, Nov 12 seems to definitely be the date

Expansys email confirming will be first week in August, 1st/2nd. Received today
What abuuuuut T-mobile? I've heard other people on here (one actually working for them) saying 17th or 20th.....
Well, all the Swedish stores just say that they don't have any release date or that the phone is not in store yet.
So I've actually not seen a releasedate except the initial 15th of july.
hero
a guy at king of gadgets told me expansys were ordering from HTC europe and that they had stock from HTC UK, and that was why the dates were different!
dutch shops and carriers:
Hi / KPN giving it an expected release of July 22th (was 8, then 14, then 18, then 20).
Pdashop.nl saying the unlocked can be delivered from July 24th onwards.
centralpoint.nl saying 7th of august.
Other webshops saying 'in stock within two weeks'.
So I have no idea, I hope somewhere next week .
See Expansys are back on the 20th July now.

Expansys have never ever got a release date right, they are just a hype train thats successful in making you preorder and keep waiting. i usually just wait until it says its in stock then just go over and pay cash at the expansys depot (1hr drive) lol
Well expansys UK still say release today, expansys Sweden say the 31th of July...
And I need this phone now..

You even can not rely on expansys when they write they have it on stock - on friday, the 3rd of July, their web page said, they have 100 on stock (at least on their Hong Kong page). I already ordered on July the 1st. But, like all others, did not receive until now.

Sgs2 verizon august 12th per paul mueller

In a brief statement from Paul Mueller he said, “I’m not sure about the exact date, but I’ve been told that August 12th is a possibility. It will arrive first on Verizon and then the rest of the carriers within a month. Samsung will market this directly against the iPhone 5.”
He is a tech guru who wrote a story for the LA news paper.
http://www.slashgear.com/samsung-ga...via-verizon-first-so-sayeth-mueller-26167566/

This looks like an awesome deal....

NOT!!!

The only thing that is interesting is that their estimated LTE date is on the 15th, but I don't know if there is any validity to it.

Verizon and Best Buy Confirm No Release Date..yet

I was curious about the release date in best buy and Verizon stores of the note 4.Since I seen 17th and 23rd.. so I tweeted both on Twitter about this question. and I got a surprising response..
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using XDA Free mobile app
It's the 23rd. Why would Verizon advertise the 23rd if it wasn't? Nothing to gain and they actually lose to every other US carrier that's getting it the 17th. We just need to accept this already
The only solace of being a week late is that that time could be used to root the other phones.
In due time we will have it, its getting close.

A number of the Korea and China market devices have already been rooted; however, there's no guarantee those methods will even work for the Verizon device until its released and people have an opportunity to fiddle with it.
Also, right on VZW's site it says the 23rd. No reason to doubt that. There's no requirement for multiple carriers to release a device all on the same day, no matter how annoying that might be.
I agree that the rooting of those Asian phones may be of no help to us.
The 23d is two weeks away! The store has ads pushing note edge.
T-Mobile started sending those who pre ordered, text messages that their devices have shipped.
why dont you go for t mobile rather than verizon? they already giving who had pre ordered.
I was more curious of people on this forum stating that best buy said they will have all carriers on the 17th ..
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using XDA Free mobile app
Yep. When I pre ordered at my BB, they told me that it will be available for pick up on the 17th.

This was on the BB Website... Nothing on the Verizon Note
I pre ordered my Note 4 through Verizon, and when I called and spoke with a Verizon Rep, I inquired about the release date of the Galaxy Note 4. After he looked into his computer, he informed me that the release date of the phone was Oct. 17th... and that the date on my Pre Order receipt which was listed as Oct. 23, was in fact the latest ETA in which I may receive my device. But I've also been hearing rumors that the US could get its shipment a few days earlier than the 17th... I hope those rumors turn out to be true
Considering that Samsung prints an exclusion for Verizon, and states everything prior to the 23rd is a PRE order, its not likely they are showing up until then.
Other carriers will have it on the 17th, so we have to wait.

I have faith. Even as I ordered in store the guy told me they give that date out just to cover themselves. He seemed very confident I would receive it sooner. I'll only know when I notice they charge my card for the remaining balance I have after using my wifes $200 promo from her iphone 6.
I finally got my pre-order done through Best Buy local store after much hassle and run-around (see my other posts in the Best Buy Promotion... what is going on thread).
Anyhow as of yesterday when I completed the pre-order in person and purchased the $50 gift card, I was specifically told they were getting ALL pre-orders in on the 17th and expect it then.
With what all I've been through with a lot of mis-information mainly based on their trade-in policy and pre-order availability in the past week and a half, I'm not holding my breath for that date in reality. :silly:

Rumors eh? No offense, but rumors from who? Be happy if it doesn't get pushed back right before release like it did in the UK.
Best Buy and Verizon have a date and that is 10/23. Several stores each and same answer. Ditto for customer service, so not sure why people would think at this current time no confirmed date and it ain't this week.

because people want to wish their phones would come early then get upset when it's not here the 17th and start badmouthing verizon because of it despite the fact verizon never once said the 17th and always stuck to the 23rd lol
Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk
That is true. The only date I have heard from Verizon is 10/23 and Best Buy are now saying the same thing. My guess is some BB staff and customers assumed that since the other devices are around 10/17, must be the same for VZW.
Verizon has never deviated from 10/23 and Best Buy had no date until last week. Ditto for the $200 terms that specify contract-only for the Best Buy offer. That popped up early last week too.
The Galaxy Note 4 goes Live on Oct 17 for all carriers in store. Verizon ships the Note 4 on Oct 23. Verizon confirmed this in September.

In store release date confusion.

There has been a lot of people confused about the Galaxy Note 4's release date for Verizon Wireless. The Galaxy Note 4 will go live on Oct 17 in stores for ALL carriers including Verizon Wireless. Verizon Wireless will be shipping for those who ordered online the Galaxy Note 4 on Oct 23. Verizon has confirmed this in September and online posts all point to what is stated. In store 17, Mail by 23.

Somebody needs to tell BB and VZW they are selling the N4 on the 17th instead of their own date of the 23rd that is listed in both systems POS.

WorstBuy told me my pre-ordered Note 4 would be in store for pickup this Friday, the 17th.
Not holding my breath though.
Since when has the in store date changed from the 23rd, recently?
I think the peeps are trying to will it as so
Nope. It's the 23rd.

Well if you work for verizon then answer why in the hell is there a preorder to begin with? I would rather walk in the morning and then pick up the phone then to wait another week for mail.

A guy in the other preorder post said he was a former manager at a VZW store and is still in contact with the people who work there. They said preorders will arrive by the 17th, that is what the regional sales manager said. Obviously there is conflicting information. Hopefully the 17th predictions are correct! Just give us our damn phones already

verizon has NEVER ONCE stated otherwise!
people like OP are going around trying to get people's hopes up so they're riled up when the 17th comes and goes with no damn phone.
since pre-order in september, verizon's website has stated 10/23. that's literally DAY ONE. it's NEVER changed. idk why people would think otherwise; verizon has released phones later than other carriers for the past 4 years. S3, S4, Note 2, Note 3.

Perhaps more to the point, does anybody know why people either lie or talk out of their a$$ since do not really know but guess? THAT is how all the BS takes hold as "fact". Some BB staff, VZW staff and
forum posters making BS stew. Fantasy Phoneball.

How can something be pushed back when Verizon always stated 10/23?? People took a generic Samsung statement about a "live" date of 10/17 and presumed Verizon would break character for an Android launch. They are always late to the party and never said 10/17. Two weeks ago I was told by both Verizon and BB 10/23. Nothing got changed but reality setting in
Always a Dumb and Dumber million to one chance
I called my local BB today to to see what they would say. I was told that Verizon likea to make sure all the bugs are out before they release it. So they like to release it later to make sure its perfect.... haha...
