I bought a 12.2 note pro today - Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General

A 64 Gb wifi only re manufactured for $520 today on groupon. The deal will be gone monday

Excellent price! I lucked out and bought a 64 GB Note Pro refurbished via eBay for $550 a few months back.

Just picked up the att LTE version (32gb) refurb for $380, I'm excited to see what can be done.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/171630973285

I just "pre-ordered" P905 since the cheapest shop here doesn't have available stocks (it probably didn't sell well here). I hope to get it in a week. Hopefully my accessories (keyboard, micro sdxc and ethernet) arrive early.

I have bought 64gb wifi about a month ago for £324 from PC World UK

I picked my Verizon 32gb version for $293.50. I just rooted this. So excited to start using this.

Those prices make my wallet ache... I paid €820 for mine.. ($869, £588) (A year ago, but alas.)

850€ Here lol
Edit: About a year ago

I paid $850 for my SM-P905 about a year ago and i'm pleased it has retained its value very well. Prices from reputable sellers start at about $700. Only a $150 deprecation after being a year old, is good news to my wallet. Especially when i decide to sell it and upgrade.

I'm very tempted to pick up one of these, I currently have a note 10.1 (2012 edition) and was planning on getting the 2014 edition but then I found out about this note pro 12.2. The extra screen size is certainly appealing, what's everyone's opinion on this tablet, is it worth getting, I understand there's a 2015 edition in the works but then again I doubt I could afford the price of that if and when it's released where as the current 12.2 costs hardly anymore than what the 10.1 2014 edition costs that I was looking at purchasing initially.

I got my wifi 64GB 12.2 tablet for $430... and the matching keyboard cover for 39.99 ($190 off the tablet, $60 off the keyboard) at the local BJ's. I was not in the market, but this was too good to pass...

Should I get one now or wait?
Do you think there will be a 2015 version of the note pro?

I just bought mine for $410 on Monday. I'm blown away by how fantastic this device is. I decided to buy it as a 'laptop replacement' which I was somewhat cautious to do given my so-so experience with Android tablets in the past (I love Android on phones but the tablet experience hasn't been great). In any case, it's fantastic.

I'm wondering the same thing Luis, but I don't think I'm going to wait. I actually bought the AT&T LTE variant used off of eBay last month and loved the device. Unfortunately, it wasn't in the supposed "Like New" condition the seller claimed and the battery life was pretty horrid. So that one's on the way back to the seller for a refund and I'm planning to buy one brand new from AT&T using the Next plan. Hoping Lollipop will arrive stateside sooner rather than later.
It's really sad seeing all of my Note Pro accessories on a shelf with no Note Pro to use them on... :crying:

I just bought a new 64GB WiFi version for USD $500.00.

After getting the LG G Pad 7 for a buck with my G3, I'm spoiled on data enabled tablets. I don't think I'll ever be able to settle for a wifi tablet again.

I've changed my old iPad 1 32GB WiFi Only with Note pro 12.2 LTE giving only 100€ to prev owner! :good:
It's a fantastic tablet!
And today is updated to Lollipop via ota!!

If there is, it will cost over $800. So it's up to you if you want to spend that much more money to have the latest tech.

While I would have liked to have seen it come in at $499 and $549, I agree that $549 isn't unreasonable.
I don't understand, when it was thought to be $499, EVERYONE was like " oh yeah, it's mine" and "take my money" but all of a sudden it it $50 more expensive and everyone is like "oh hell no, no way Samsung you aren't going to rip me off"
Doesn't make much sense to me that $50 would make that big of a deal but hell what do I know. All I know is I still plan on getting it!:good:
Yeah, I would have obviously been happier with a lower price point. But when the new Nexus 7 came out and it had a small price bump, it was a pretty reasonable thing to do. I'll definitely be getting one at release.
Yes I was expecting 499$ too .... What a shame, I'm still getting it tho

Couldn't agree more.
This was never marketed as a budget/low-cost tablet. This is the (as far as I know) top-of-the-line Android tablet for the foreseeable future. I'm pleased to see it start that low. Heck, I know that's already a lot cheaper than the Note 3 I bought, lol.
If they will do the convert Dollar -> Euro, in italy the note will cost 449€.
But i think they will sell this at 599€...

Well the comparable closet high Android tablet is Sony Xperia Z Tablet with S4 Pro quad core CPU and 2 GB ram and only 1080p display which is selling for £399.
Note 10.1 on the other hand has better CPU, more RAM, better (or at least sharper) display and Wacom digitizer, I can't see how can it could be same price or cheaper then Sony.
It's pricey but that's this the only android tablet with pen function, so we don't have the luxury for shopping around for cheaper price.
The same reason old Note 10.1 never really came down in price.

This price does indeed suck. Samsung seems to overprice and make us wait for sales. Problem is that online purchases will be taxed soon inside the us. The note 8.0 was priced 399 us dollars at launch but can be had on sale or refurbished at 299 and below which isn't too bad. 499 and I probably would've just bought it at Newegg right away but I'll wait on reviews and some custom roms first. Hopefully someplace will have it for at least $449 tax-free before the stupid Internet tax hits.

UK note 8 is been discounted.... Imminent new version?

As title... I see that a couple of UK retailers have got the Note 8 at £199...down some £100...
Is this an indication of a new version on the same lines as the 10.1 2014 edition?
Sent from my Galaxy Note 3
Hopefully, however quite a few retailers have put the price back up i, e John Lewis, and its only available from Amazon UK from 3rd party sellers.
Lets hope the 2014 Note 8 comes with some stellar specs.

I just pre ordered the new Galaxy Tab PRO 8.4 - 16GB - White at best buy. Supposed to ship around the 14th of this month....I can't wait. $399. I actually canceled my order. I really want a note!
ON SALE HERE IN CANADA TOO AT 3 MAJOR BOX STORES For $329 WIFI Version
Galaxy Tab PRO 8.4 - 16GB - White at best buy in store today! Why do we have to pay $399 and Canada gets it for $329???

Price Drops

Best Buy has the 16GB at $520. And someplace unrated called Tech Cubicle in MA has it for $454 (free shipping).
Yes it's true. Best Buy has dropped the price on the 16gb and 32gb both. I think it's a $30 price drop but not a whole lot. I think this the sign of the 12.2 Note Pro and Tab Pro's coming up very soon. So hopefully we should see 4.4 kitkat very soon as well.
I also noticed the OEM Samsung case for the 2014 Note 10.1 has gone up to $79.99 at Best Buy So I am not sure if they redesigned the case or what but not sure about the price hike. I bought the Case about a week ago but took it right back because it was so cheaply made and not very protective. I paid at $59.99 or $69.99 but not $79.99.

Dream on. I pretty much guarantee we wont see 4.4 anytime soon. Not the way Samsung do business.
I just picked up my Note 10.1 2014 from Best Buy last week. Time to head over there and get them to give me a refund of $30.
b&h is down to $499 for 16GB

Yeah, that's the cheapest I've seen it too... Mine's not a refurb, it's near brand new. I understand it's used. If someone makes a reasonable offer, I'll let it go. It has ZERO scratches, and comes with the extras... those are not cheap extras. I'm not selling the device for $700, I'm selling everything I listed for that price, well... asking for that price. I know used isn't new and sells for less so of course I'm willing to talk if someone is serious.

I bought one of those. It was $429 before they raised the price to $449 and there was an Ebay promo for another 13% off making the price $375. Some lucky people also had a $20 coupon emailed to them dropping the price to $355. Under $400 is a steal.

The 8.4 (and other sizes) Pro seems abandoned with launch of Tab S

This reminds me of what Sammie did with the P6800 a couple of years back when they abandoned the P6800 withing a year of it's launch.
As there looks like there will never be a 32gb 8.4 Pro and there isn't currently a 32gb 8.4 S I'm sitting on the fence.
I have to say Sammies constant morass of new products without anything approaching a coherent product replacement cycle, combined with their lack of support in 'walking away' from existing relatively new products does mean I think hard before spending money on their tabs.

Its sad, considering I still see tab pros in shops etc.
are there any new features software wise that is in Tab S ?
Are you expecting Samsung to update the Pro less than a year after the product launched? It was launched in February, just 7 months ago. Most of their products refresh annually. What makes you think they've abandoned it?

what do you mean "refresh annually". do you mean we should only be getting OS and firmware updates once a year???
Hardware.
I guess people think they abandoned it because the Tab S came out so quickly (4 months?) after the Tab PRO, and many vendors (at least in Canada) stopped selling the Tab PRO and switched to the Tab S.
Also, after NG1, firmware updates for the Tab PRO seem to have really dwindled. And yet, there are still quite a few outstanding issues with this tablet that need to be resolved...
I plan on selling my 8.4 pro as soon as nexus 9 comes out. I would have gotten a nexus 10 but I am not interested in an exynos.
Overall it is a nice tab, but battery life is quite poor. And I really don't like the game leather back. Fun while it lasted but Craigslist here it comes..
I'm glad the S came out and dropped the price of the Pro. I won't spend $400 on a tablet, so I never would've got this great tablet if the S never was released.

Me too, i never should buy the pro 12.2 for +500 euro and last Sunday i got it for 329,75 euro brand new in the box, do we still here in the Netherlands have to pay a bit more than US or Canadian dollar?
I'm so happy with this huge Tab
happy here
I'm happy too.
Bought the tabpro 8.4 for only 230 euro's, I also would never spend 300/400/500 on a tablet.
Size is excellent, battery for me lasts about 3 to 4 days on normal use and 2 days on heavier usage.
I use my Phone for a lot of things and in the evening sitting on the couch I use a tablet.
Facebook, Telegram, browsing,. asphalt 8, multiwindow it works great, no hickups. I did tweak the rom.
It does it all so why complain?:good:
I've been pretty happy with my Pro 8.4. It nicely compliments my Note 3 which has a tiny 5.7 inch screen!
Yeah, I'm seeing it for $279 in the U.S. More than $100 less than the Tab S. But I agree with the worry that it may not see an Android L update for example, despite being less than a year old. Samsung is slow to update. Took about 6 months to get 4.4 on my Note 10.1, and despite it still being a current model, I wouldn't be surprised if they never do L. I'm looking for a smaller tablet to replace a 1st-gen Nexus, but I think I'll keep waiting for the Nexus 9 before I jump.
I think we'll get Android L eventually. The Tab Pro is closely modeled after the Note 3, and that device is bound to get Android L. Although news came out today that Samsung transferred 500 engineers from the mobile division to the other areas (appliances and TVs?).

the bolded bit doesn't really help you make your point in the underlined bit
I've been running CM11 since I got it, and I know there will be a CyanogenMod version of Android L so I'm not worried about it.
I just got mine for 230 euros! The Tab S is 400! What what WHAT!?
I'm sure Samsung will update sooner or later, but it's no longer their premium tablet, so... We shouldn't expect SPEEDY updates!

How do you guys like the 8.4"? In landscape mode, the buttons are where your hand would be. That seems like an issue if you wanted to play a game in landscape mode.
