Not really of much use here, as the TMo Note will be using a Snapdragon CPU rather than an Exynos, making it more like the AT&T I717 Note than the N7000.

If I am correct, T-Mobile US released the HTC HD2 with some months of delay but the biggest bonus of that wait to customers was that they added more ram + 16gb sd card compared to the international version.
Now if their version of the Note is similar to the At&T, then I can't understand their strategy behind this release. I'm curious to see the official specs for their version of the Note.

T-mobile is fast!

Given that the Note II is likely to be announced and released in a couple of months, I don't see any point in releasing this model at all!

Not necessarily . Now with rumors ( I know) stating anywhere from a late August to late October release for Note 2, which I tend to believe based on 1 yr release trends of cell phone sequals, it seems that way for us tech freaks, but for the average consumer who doesn't care about xda, cpus, or rooting, they will love the OG note on T-Mobile.
Just my opinion

Nope.
Eww, and an S3 chip? Sounds like they're just getting rid of AT&T's stock.

We are destined to use the freaking EDGE. I'm fine with the 30kb/s download(I get around 256 kbs/s connection) You still can use internet, check email, read news, etc. But when it comes to Google navigation or searching for a location in Google maps, 256 drives me nuts....

Preordering Edge

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?

541,67 pounds (~886 US dollars ) excluding taxes and shipping.

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.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171485130761?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&fromMakeTrack=true
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

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.

No note 5 for uk

I am absolutely disappointed by this!
Terrible move by Samsung for not releasing this in the UK.. Kick in the teeth
Time to think about changing brands

Apparently no 128gb model either. A person on a forum linked a Verizon page showing a 128gb, but Verizon is stating was a place holder for the launch and based on S6 offering one. I guess
a few days/weeks to see if Samsung changes their tune and then months before one could be added to the line up and landed to consumers.

EU actually.
the entire continent is missing out on the note 5, not just the little island in the west.

In fact Samsung now offer more or less only one phone in two sizes and with our without round edges (S6/edge/edge+ and note 5) and then they castrate themselves by taking the note from 1/3 of the world market with the argument that the phones were too similar and they would fear a cannibalism effect like they suffered already with S6 and S6edge. If they would had designed the note 5 differently and had given it besides the pen other differentations like replaceable batteries, plastic housing, sd card and water proofness they could have addressed different potential customers and they would not had the need to withdraw it from Europe.

Almost like Samsung is being mind controlled by Apple, since Apple could not hope for a "better" product to go against with the new iPhone 6+.

What a stupid decision are Samsung determined too cede their market share to their rivals.
At the most it may appear in the EU next year.
http://m.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_note5_will_not_launch_in_europe_this_year-news-13534.php
This article contains an updated statement from Samsung.
http://www.engadget.com/2015/08/13/...d_Classic&utm_campaign=Engadget&ncid=rss_semi

It has to come to Europe. I am defiant by that statement. Even if it will be in 2016.
I still think it's ridiculous though. I thought, I'll skip the Note 4 and get the 5, and then it's delayed by six months.

The market availability of the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 will vary according to consumer needs and the specific market situation. The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 will be introduced in the US and Asian markets in August and we will look at further opportunities to launch the Galaxy Note 5 in other markets.

What about the MENA region??

Short story of my day...
"Uhhh, can't wait for the new Note 5 as I wanted a replacement for my Note 3."
Samsung: No SD card.
"Okay, not fond of it but I will survive."
Samsung: Can't change battery.
"Ahh dammit, but still want it."
"Actually just shut up and take my money!"
Samsung: F... you, we won't sell it to you.
(Flips table)

Imo this was a very risky, bold move by not releasing this in the uk. But when you think about it korea and china constantly get phones that the uk and us dont. Im not going to bash them becuase i have an s6 and love it. We all should of known the note would be nothing but an overblown s6. Just like the nexus 6 was a moto x 2014 on steriods. Id assume once sales drop for sammy they will come to their senses and at least bring back an sd card on the s7 and note 6. Not much different than the "flagship killer" oneplus2 with no nfc or the m9 that was just a m8. Not a great year for new devices.

They can't release right now in the UK or their sells will really tank.. You guys are going to get the note 5 with the 7422 processor, epop modems and a much bigger battery.

My god . . . Can it be true that the giant landmass of Holland is missing out? Shame on the OP for focusing on the UK when the teeming billions of Dutch will miss out.

and the French, Germans, Spaniards, Portugese, Belgians, Greeks, Italians, Slovenians, and several more.

no one wants the note 5 anyway, they can keep their gimped downgraded phone, who cares.

yup, I love my S6, had to buy it because my moto x 2014 broke but I really wanted to wait for the note5. I was still ready to get the note5 when it would come out but this phone is not even a straight upgrade from the s6, why did they remove the IR blaster?

By the looks of it the AT&T model supports the UK 4G bands (3, 7 & 20).
My girlfriend is currently in the States and returns in early September.
If she purchased one direct from an AT&T store to bring back for me, how long do you think I'd have to wait before people were able to offer unlock codes for them so I could use one with a Three UK sim card?

Apple here I come!!!
Samsung touch wiz still an issue. Had the s6 Edge which was cool but battery was poor and poor. Probably same issue with s6 Edge + and the price will be another deciding factor..
HTC pretty much quiet next couple of years due to loss after loss.
Moto x just not premium enough.
Chinese phones just don't get to us in time.
So apple it is.. Nooooooo

Note 5 coming to UK - update thread

Hi
This morning ( http://www.knowyourmobile.com/samsu...axy-note-5-release-date-specs-prices-features ) and recently I've read a couple of articles suggesting the note 5 under the N920F model number could be landing in the UK in January.
I've ordered a grey from MyGSM.ME but not yet paid for it as it is out of stock. So I'm in a dilemma - do I wait or take a grey (told it should be available in 2/3 days). Coming from a note 4 which works fine, think I may wait...
If anyone has any updates on the new that UK will receive the Note 5 - stick any updates here guys !!!

Well, it´s a roumor - and gadgette revised their wording. Lets see....don´t think it will happen.
If Samsung would offer an S6+ without edge, I would take that aswell. But the edge is terrible. It distorts the image and shifts colors around the edges...

Not sure if its worth waiting for uk version as it will be quite expensive, not worth it. Bought N9200 dual sim and both EE and 3 4g coverage works only cost me 450.00 which is about right.

I'm doubtful it will ever happen. If it does it'll be just 6 months before the note 6 and all you gain is security of a local warranty. I'd rather start using the phone today.

Same here - also, I think in no way will the phone be offered under 600€. So, pretty much any import is cheaper at the moment.
They screwed up big time - if the note 6 will add an SD card slot again my note 5 will be gone instantly anyway.

and if they do the same as they did this time with no UK launch?? That's why I bought the n5, especially after trying the Priv and returning it. The n5 is like a polished (literally!) n4 which I got bored of.

Note FE, who's getting one?

I just ordered my silver FE from Ebay.
Wasnt going to due to the price being high for a year old device but in the end I caved lol.
Had 3 note 7s from last Aug to Jan 2017 and have been wanting another one badly even though I have an S8 plus.
So who else is in for Note 7 round 3 lol?

I would love to get one. But it's steeper than I hoped. And it's going to be difficult and expensive to ship it out of Korea. And I don't think it's going to be worth it, no matter how good it was.
Maybe next time, when it's easily available.

I've seen conflicting spec sheets as to the processor being used:
Most state an Exynos,a few have listed Qualcomm.
I'm guessing the former,but,this is a rather unique phone,more so given the history/etc.....

I'm Note waiting
Had notes 1,2,3,4,5 and 7. Since the recall(s) I tried the stylo 3 which was OK. But currently I'm rocking a rooted Galaxy Note edge. I ordered the Fe from eBay and I should get it Friday. I had fond memories of the 7. The Note 8 will probably be a Rockstar but I decided to go with a known entity. Hopefully double tap of home button still brings up the camera.

I'm planning on getting one but waiting for an EMEA launch, don't want the Korean variant.
Hopefully we can see an SM-N935F soon.

If it's launched in Middle East, there will most probably be an FD variant and the single SIM F variant for Europe, but I'm eagerly waiting for them to announce one outside of Korea so it'll be easier to get.
