since the note 5 has been released and the release date for us Canadians is august 21. so, who's getting one? I'm still on the fence on picking up one, but if I do it's probably going be the 64gb version. Let's begin the discussion on it.:good:
I will for the first time since the note 2 not be getting a new note this year.
Samsung has totally dropped the ball (and thats a huge understatement ) this time around.
Black only and 32gb of storage?
No thanks.

I was looking on the Bell site and I only saw the 32gb ($850). I chat online with a rep and she said they are only carrying the 32gb. At this point I can't see myself getting one

That really sucks, long term 32gb is going be cutting it close. I was hoping we would have a choice between 32gb and 64gb.

The Note 4 is now $200 cheaper at Bell ($230 with tax) - which has me seriously considering whether a Note 4 isn't a better choice for my money.

Absolutely impossible. That must be used space not free. 32gb note5 should have around 22GB available space.
64 GB Note5 has 52GB free space accordingly to one of the xda member who received his phone from At&t.

Here's a picture. The phone is a Demo so maybe people has been testing the 4K video recording and taking lots of pictures..

I just found both at a Bell store in Chinook Centre, Calgary. Both had different free storage that I won't even bother posting. Also, don't forget that these are are retail demo units (running demo mode and with a retail disk partion) so you can't take them as gospel.

I want to check them out before deciding whether to reserve or not - could you actually play with phones at the Bell store, or were they not supposed to be on display? (Just want to make sure it's worthwhile to drive out to Chinook).

Yes you could play with both, and the regular edge and Note 4 are next to them, totally worth the drive.

Hey guys, I'm from Canada and I'm planning to buy a tablet and decided to go with the note because of the multiscreen function and the s pen that could help me in my studies! Anyway my girlfriend parents are going to New Hampshire next week and they said they wouldn't mine buying one for me (obviously I would repay them ).
So I just wanted to know your opinions on either waiting for the note to come in canada (will be available to pre order soon at future shop) or make my gf parents buy one from the US and if so where would be a good place that would have them in stock? I don't want to make them drive everywhere to get it so somewhere not to complicated like a walmart, etc??
Thanks
PS: The sooner I get it, the better it is, I just can't wait anymore!!!!

I remember driving around everywhere here in Maryland trying to find it when it came out. I could only find it available at Best Buy's, but they were sold out at every location. I tried looking at Office Depot, Staples, Target, and Walmart but the best tablet they were selling was the Tab 10.1 2 or the Nexus 7. I would just check Best Buy online or have one shipped to a store for pickup in NH if they are sold out so they can physically pick it up. Just check shipping times.
Some of these early models have some QC issues like light bleed. You may want to wait and buy it from a retailer who can accept a return if you are unlucky and get a faulty unit.

I got mine from B&H. It's definitely an American company, but it arrived 4 days later (cheapest option) and never seemed to spend any time in customs. The package said that it was from the B&H warehouse... in Etobicoke. I had to pay sales tax, but no duty/customs/import fees.
I'm in Calgary, so 4 days from Ontario is pretty quick! There's no way it could have crossed the border as well.
Anyways, if your girlfriend's parents can't find one in NH, I'd recommend B&H (bhphotovideo.com). I've bought camera stuff from them for years, and I've never had any "surprise" cross-border fees.

I think you guys are missing the point. In Canada the 32 gb will cost you $499. In the US the 16gb is the $499 and the 32gb is $550. So you getting more for your money if you buy it in Canada.

True... I forgot to actually reply to your post when I replied to your post!
The only advantage I can see from ordering from the States is getting the white one, and getting it faster. When I ordered mine in mid-August, Canada wasn't on the horizon. Now that it is though, I might have waited.
On the other hand, I've never come anywhere close to the 16 GB on my Nexus S (it's reading 11 free right now), so I really don't care about the extra space. I do like the white better than the grey, so I'm not kicking myself right now.

Hey everyone.
I created a petition to Samsung to release the 32GB and the 64GB S4, as it seems their microsites are showing only 16GB (the 32 and 64gb has been removed). I'm not sure if they plan to not release the 32 or the 64 gb device or they removed because is not out on market.
However, if we don't make some noise, don't expect that to get respect from Samsung.
Please sign this petition. I will do my best to forward it to Samsung Mobile Division.
http://www.change.org/petitions/release-the-samsung-galaxy-s4-with-32-and-64-gb-internal-memory
Signed in the petition. Hopefully Samsung would stop this kind of practice that only releases 16GB initially then 32-64GB after 3months. :|
Also, I hope moderators may move this thread to the S4 general forums (I9505/I9500) as this is a S4 specific subject.

I hope people may see the importance in this. Even those who already bought the 16GB variants may still benefit from this as this will encourage Samsung/Retailers/Carriers (hopefully other device manufacturers like HTC, etc) that there is a 'significant' demand for higher device storage. If this is successfully, we might see a Note 3, ?S5?, other android phones with 16/32/64 or even a 128GB model available at release.
Honestly I don't believe in Samsung that retailers and carriers only orders the 16GB, as some online retailers have the 32GB on 'pre-order' since after 16GBs launch. I am thinking Samsung is purposely holding the 32GB and 64GB for commercial purposes, like releasing the 32GB/64GB in other colors aside from black and white. Or after the demand for 16GB slowed, then releasing some 'new' variants like 32/64GB to increase demand again.
I've signed this, I'm hoping to see the 32GB / 64 GB out soon! Or at least give us an ETA on when..
I am sure that is Samsung fault too. I spoke with a Samsung official and they told me to ask in stores, like he had no idea there is nowhere to buy higher memory S4.
I was in some big stores today and they called to their officials to ask about the stock of the 32gb S4, but they have no info either. Looks like Samsung blame the retailers and the retailers blame Samsung.
We need at least 1000 signatures. This way I would be able to forward the petition to Samsung. Please ask the family, friends, neighbors and share on Facebook, google+, twitter the petition. Come on guys, please help even if you don't like Samsung or have the 16gb version.

Yes I heard that there, in Africa, AT&T USA and even in Australia has been sold some 32gb devices. But what about unlocked USA, Europe and Asia? They should do same like Iphone or HTC, Sony etc, releasing in the same time all three version. We don't care the retailers don't order those variants, Samsung should find a way, maybe they should open an online store and sell them directly. I'm sure this way the price would also be more accessible than now

Thank you everyone ! If they release it fast, I'm sure those who got the 16gb version can replace it, but only if they release it soon.
@Shtihi, there is no ETA of it. Samsung says that they have it but retailers are not requesting them.
Keep voting and advertise the petition ! Trust me, I will do my best to make Samsung know about the petition, but we need more votes. Faster = better

There has to be a backstory somewhere here as this strategy makes absolutely no sense.
At some point all of the 'newbies' are going to catch on that there 16GB phones really have no more than 8GB internal memory then sales hit a brick wall.
The S4, IMO, is simply useless as a smartphone with internal memory of less than 32GB.
Thanks for passing along the info.

You know, not everyone needs more than the 9 gigs offered. Granted, I'd like to see a bit more running space on the internal side just so I don't have to clean out caches, but 32, at least for me, is overkill. I wouldn't say the S4 is useless as a smartphone @ 9 GBs. That's just going overboard. But that's just my opinion.
Your best bet at something 32GB and other than black will be if and when AT&T carries post release variants, like blue, red, etc. At least AT&T plays really closely to Sammy, so you're already with the best service provider for Samsung stuff.

I'll be interested to see if the Google 16 GB version has sufficiently less bloatware. And/or if the S4 update allowing apps to SD is meeting expectations.

My opinion is they released the 32gb black to have the 32 option and they don't have plans for the white 32gb. Same with the rumored red and blue which will almost certainly only be in a 16gb option. Anyone who wants more storage can suck it up and buy the black 32gb is probably they're way to seeing it

Im not much of a business guru but how would it make a difference business wise to have it vs not? I mean black is a very neutral sex color vs white which seems to appeal to mostly females and yes i know some guys. And it really doesnt seem that hard to add a 32gb white i mean they basically could have the 32GB main board manufacturing line then just take those guts and throw the white body on it. Easy peasy right? So then why dont they have it along side the black one right now? over a month later...

I think you hit the nail on the head with your last question!
Marketing essentially drives the entire product life cycle in any business. That's essentially the basis of our conversation! Post-marketing drives everyone crazy, including personnel in other departments who want to move on to the 'next best thing'! IMO, it makes perfect sense to sell all 32GB variants in all of the colors for exactly the reasons you mentioned.
Sure, I could go ahead & get a 'dirty' black model instead of continuing to holding my breath for the White Frost, but as a consumer I'll play that game a bit longer.

I saw that Verizon is selling the 32gb white frost over the weekend and will be shipping them this week. Hopefully they will come to AT&T this week as well. I've been holding out for the white one as well.

damn, vzw gets white 32gb... oh well ill wait it out for next round of top tier phones.
Samsung and AT&T know that 95 percent of their customers will opt for the 16gb version of the S4. With most customers it's about price and when they are also told they can add memory with a micro sd, they definitely go with the 16gb. The reps don't inform them that apps can only be stored internally and even if they did 95 percent would still get the cheaper of the two options. Samsung won't pay the extra manufacturing costs involved with churning out multiple colors of 32gb versions for AT&T when the demand just isn't there.
Recently I've been a frustrated Samsung UK underling, whom was unable to get any Note 10.1(2014) pricing or availability info internally.
Hence, I've been following threads in this forum in the hope of some info.
However, through a stroke of good fortune I met the Tablet Buyer of a Leading UK High Street Retailer...
The Note 10.1 (2014) 16GB WIFI only device will be priced at £479
The device will be available in approximately 2 weeks.
The buyer didn't know the price of the LTE model, which would suggest that the LTE model may not be available within a similar time frame.
Also the Tab3 LTE models will be available (Sim-Free) at the end of October priced with £100- £120 premium over the WIFI only models.
Hope this info eases a few minds!!!
Many thanks for all the great posts
all the best...
A definite pass from me then

Damn so we're looking at around £530 for 32 gb. too dear for me
WTF
Why are we always being ripped off here in the UK? Gotta buy them in the US then.
Tesco Hudl perhaps.
.
I don't care what components and specs are inside this thing. It should not be priced more than an ipad if it is still made of cheap plastic and looks like it was designed by a graduate.
Should be around £350.
Im not buying this out of principle despite being a millionaire and someone who just lost many many times over this amount in a poker game last night.
The Note 8 pricing was a complete joke but this isn't too far behind.
I don't understand why it is much more expensive than the US. $550 converted in £ with 20% extra for VAT makes £400 not £479.

Ok millionaire, can you give me £530? I swear it's not to buy me a 2014 GNote 10.1! Pretty please?
£479 = $775 for a 16 GB WiFi only device. Please tell me this is a joke.

I haven't yet, read a few reviews that have put me off. If it's not released here by the 14th, I'm going to take the risk.
I have received a confirmation from a major retailer here in Greece that it will be available next week. They told me that they have plenty of stock already.

Did you ask about the lte version and the prices ? btw which retailer ?
Well here in Sweden it is expected to be £550 for the wifi-only 16gb model. You do the math...
Wow, why is it so much more for other nations compared to the US?
Do you think Oneplus One will be jacked up in price as they do with all other devices to the point that the price is no longer an advantage? I think Oneplus One will probably cost more than Nexus devices in Australia due to additional GST and demand.
They'll Jack it up, for whatever reason Lol
I reckon it will start at $400+ here unfortunately

I'm curious on how you guys are planning on importing it. I have a friend I recommended this phone too and they're currently living in Australia.

I saw on the India thread that they use exporters to get it shipped to them. Do you guys have an importer you're planning to use? If anything what country are you going to import it from?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Buy it from the USA and use a mail forwarder. Easy !
Traveling to Canada and buying it there and bringing it back
Edit: If I can get an Invite that is :/
Don't buy the US version, just buy it from mobicity

How is the camera and battery life?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
IMO, it's pretty good.. Previously using iPhone 5.. Went to school with 100% came home with about 60%.. and that's just a two hour lecture.. with about 1 hour bus ride in total.. But now with the OPO, its go with 100% come home with about 80%.. Camera wise, it's fine for me but I don't have a really high requirement considering it's a phone

Personally, I'm getting mine sent to one of my dev friends in America. But you can use a mail forwarding company like Shipito to get it here. I ordered mine (64gb) yesterday, and it ended up costing me $400AUD including standard shipping to the States. The price is a bit inflated due to PayPal's ridiculous conversation rate, which was $0.90 instead of the $0.93 it should have been. On top of that I still need to get it shipped from Illinois to Melbourne, so all up I'm probably looking at anywhere between $430 to $450 I think.
Anyways, hi guys, ours nice to see an Australian thread here.

Hey, I'm in Melbourne too - did you get yours from an invite or 3rd party store?
I'm still hoping to get an invite but am getting impatient and might just pull the trigger on Aliexpress or similar.
Which carrier are you with?
Cheers...!
I got mine from oppomart.. Costing me about $430 for the 16gb version.. I'm currently using Telstra

i bought my 64 gb from them
cost me 580 for the cyanogenmod and i received chinese OPO with cyanogenmod rom
opened a dispute with paypal
advertise the cyanogen on webshop
any other got same issue?
I ordered mine last night from OnePlus via an invite, waiting on it to ship
@gerardo66 - not sure what the problem is for you there. The only physical difference is the Chinese one doesn't have CyanogenMod stamped on the back.
The 4G band difference doesn't matter over here, because the 700MHz band in the international version doesn't work here anyway.
