Clove have just Tweeted that they have received stock of official UK Galaxy Notes.
Nearly £600 though :/
http://www.clove.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-note
I think I'll wait till people start selling unwanted network upgrades on Fleabay!
You can slice £100 off that figure by buying from amazon.de. Should come to under £500 (£493 at the last count) including VAT and delivery to the UK. Price has been dropping a little, day by day, this week.
Handtec have it for £540, but I have a feeling it's the EU model that you could get from amazon.de for less money.
Clove should rename to expensive.co.uk or greedys.co.uk

Correct... The first batch are EU stock and I can tell you Samsung UK will not be very happy Handtek have been selling the Note before the official UK date.
Not only that, buyers need to check the warranty on this first batch from Handtek very closely.

When you know a thing or two about Handtek and then compare it to Clove you then realize why there is a price difference.
CLove could sell phones from overseas (grey-imports) but that then opens up all manner of problems.
Clove received the UK version of the Note yesterday and began dispatching it today. They are including a flip case with the Note.

Yes, this is excellent news.
I did quite a bit of searching around for a protective cover for the Note and couldn't find a thing.
Nice to see the one coming from Clove has a flip cover for both the back and screen.
I've just check the delivery status of my Note and it is on it's way and I should get it tomorrow. I cannot wait to try out all the new and exciting features.
Same here. My tracking label says ~ "We have received your item and expect to deliver it before the guaranteed time on 04/11/11."
Hello Folks,
Is it bad/good getting a "EU version" vs a "non EU version"?

Depends on what your concerns are so please come back if you wish a better answer.
If it is to do with warranties, well phones will have to be shipped back to where you purchased from. This can be awkward, you have to read the warranty card that comes with the phone.
Registering the phone on the Samsung web site may be an issue.
Your best bet is to read the Samsung Warranty web pages which can be found here.

My bad. Sorry about that!
I am planning use it on AT&T (US). In that regards, does having either version makes any difference? Specially in terms of getting on their 3g network.
Thank you

Fake for sure.
Return it or get a refund, do a PayPal claim.
You should also post the link to the auction to raise awareness.

Hi guys. I just got a new s7 edge which I had imported for dual sim capabilities. I got it sealed with all the accessories and plastic intact. It was just really strange that it had no factory charge when it got to me. Is it possible that it was tampered with? It looks perfectly new and all. Thank you.

It's available very easily now, I got one for my sister in Pakistan and I have to admit the Coral Blue looks fantastic.
It was the FD variant, for USD 620 here.
I bought it on ebay from the seller tobydeals. Fast delivery and I was surprised about the good customer service. I couldn't find the invoice and dropped than an email. After 24h I received an answer with a link to my invoice. And the phone is amazing. I've never were so satisfied with a phone
I bought the spigen ultra hybrid case. Very thin, good protection, the phone is now less slippery anymore and the best thing is I'm not touching the edges by accident.
Alright this may be kind of a dumb question and I apologise if it's not in the correct spot/has already been answered but I currently have a oneplus 5t and I want to move to the s9 when it comes out. I am a huge themer and I love to root/unlock bootloader/install custom roms. Based on what I read it seems that exynos version of Galaxy phones are a lot easier to tinker with compared to snapdragon. Id assume if the s8 exynos works in the US so will the s9. Can anyone confirm this or let me know? I have at&t. Thank you.
Yes, it should work. I don't think I heard anyone mention the opposite. So it should work without any issues.
I have an Exynos Galaxy S8 Duos (SM-G950FD) and I use it with T-Mobile here in Arizona. I haven't had any problems with carrier compatibility, 4G/4G+ works like a charm.
Thanks guys!
I went from 6P, to Pixel XL, to SM-G955F(S8+) on T-Mobile here in Idaho. The signal is great, and I dont have any problems. The S8 is much easier to flash stuff on and modify than the Pixel was, and its working fine here in Idaho. I made the move to Samsung in September.

Is yours the international version? Or does it have exynos processor? Sorry I don't know the model numbers. Is exynos generally easier to root and unlock bootloader for compared to snapdragon?
Mine is international, purchased from Clove in the UK. Exynos is best if you want to do any modding on your phone. Root, flashing, etc. are all very simple with Exynos. To my knowledge the Snapdragon variants cannot be bootloader unlocked, so very limited on what you can do.

I assume you have to buy a separate charger then as their plugs are different over there? I assume the pins on the micro USB are still the same?

It uses usb C which I've got a couple cables already. So yeah you could probably buy an adapter or buy a charger if you didn't already have one.

Yikes. And do I have to pay for a region unlock or??? Idk how that all works.
I think the only thing lacking on the Exynos S8 is Band 30 which probably doesn't really matter for most people, as it's so new and of limited deployment/use.
