So as we all know the 64gb and the 128 are all sold out on the UK and US Google stores but a friend of mine that lives in Canada just called me today to say the Canadian site has the 64gb model, he is flying over next week and is happy to bring me one over...
So can you guys see any problems/ potential pit falls with me buying/ using a Canadian Nexus in the UK??
Cheers guys!!
I'm sure one of you clever people know if a Canadian phone will work in the UK!!

The Samsung Galaxy S III has arrived in Dubai a week earlier than expected and is already on sale for $666.
This has been confirmed by a vigilant Reddit user who noticed an "Available Today" sign under the S III name in a mall store in Dubai. Speaking to an employee he gathered that the store has plenty of Galaxy S III units in stock and all being white variants (no word on which internal storage version it was but we're guessing 16GB).
Other users have also found the phone available (and purchased it) but for around $680. We guess a hefty bunch of people who pre-ordered the Galaxy S III will be less than impressed right about now.
One of the visitors of such a store sent us the pic you see on the left. Unfortunately, the store has already ran out of stock when he got there, but reportedly, more units are on the way, due in the next few days. He confirms the phone was priced at 2500 AED or about US$680.
And hey if you're still on the fence about getting an S III, you might find this useful.

did you preorder for white or blue?
Dupe of this thread.
Please search before posting.
Thank you.
Has anyone come across the Brown/Black version of the Note 8 for sale in Canada? I have searched a bunch of Canadian online retailers and it seems that White is the only option. I also placed a call to Samsung Canada and they were not able to help in any way.
I think their rare, I've looked everywhere in the UK and found none, I had to settle on white

Thanks Zambzz, I have just about given up trying to source it Canada. Going for a drive to the US tomorrow to see if I can find one.
Brown-Black (3G-Wifi) is almost out of market in Thailkand too.
I'm currently with a Nexus 4 but I definitely want the G2 beasty. The only thing stopping me is the lack of a SD slot. Has anybody purchased one from S. Korea and had it shipped? If so, what store did you use. I'm in Europe and so far my searches have come up with zilch.

Yep. From hong kong to canada. The seller was smart enough to list this as a sample phone to a fake company that i 'own'. 22 bucks duty.

The majority of them in the UK are actually the 16GB version. The 32GB version is only available on very few sites, and the only one I have found that does next day delivery is this site.
http://www.mobicity.co.uk/lg-g2-32gb.html
Thanks, i saw this one before, altho im not sure it is actually the 32GB version? Looks like the mobicity specs list it as a 16GB? Altho the mobicity website won't load properly on my Lumia 920, so i could be wrong. I've emailed clove and expansys about stocking a 32, altho not had a reply yet. Shame really, i don't think 16GB is enough for me without a memory card.
I just bought mine in Denmark and it is the same model as the UK model and it is simfree and 32g. I bought it from 3g here but I use Telia with no problem. I also wonder if the LTE freq are software side since all models seem to support LTE and HSPA+.
I ordered from Mobicity and can confirm that it's a 32GB model. It shipped from Manchester but it originally came from their European warehouse. It's 802 model and there was a European charger with a UK adapter included. Took 3 days to arrive. Working great here
Thank you ? looks like I'll be ordering from mobicity then! What's the difference between an 802 and a uk spec 16GB? Does the 802 bit just mean its 32GB? Thanks again
I don't think there is a difference. I think UK model is 802 as well. This one is the stock 802 without any operator boat, just the standard suite of LG apps. It's unlocked (obviously) and works on UK 4g frequencies

It's my first Android phone after owning only iPhones before and so far my mind is blown by the possibilities and customisation of android.
Installed tasker and my phone now talks to me, reads news, announces all notifications. I only scratched the surface so far I can't believe how much android matured and how much of a difference this huge screen makes to the usability. It's a great phone, the only gripe I have is the placement of the buttons at the back but I almost got used to them by now.

LG G2 32 gb??
I'm about to visit the UK next week for a couple of days. Anybody know a store when I can buy the 32gb version instead of ordering it online? I don't have an UK adress...

TBH I have given up on getting a Contract 32GB version. I find it really strange that over the pond, there mostly selling the 32GB model, where as over in the UK/Europe there just selling the 16GB versions?!.
Seems, I may have to go the Nexus 5 route just so I can get 32GB of storage!.
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?

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

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.

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.
