Prices have skyrocketed in the U.S.

Can you believe how the prices have gone up in the U.S. for the unlocked international version? Heck, the price of the GN sold directly from Amazon has gone up a lot even though they don't have any in stock.
I bought one on eBay and the guy cancelled on me after I won the bid.

how much did you pay??

Bought it here for 699 Euros = 893.39 U.S. dollars
How are the prices there?

Check handtec.co.uk, they have been dropping the price each week.
Looks like $650.00 including shipping to US.

I got mine from simply electronics for £480, and it seems to be going down every week.

500 euros on amazon.de.

We have to pay BRL1800 in Brazil for you. That's roughly USD1000. Don't you ****ing dare to ocmplain on your prices =p

Agreed! I was bought one in eBay and had to return it because it was pretty beat up. While I ordered that one prices for new ones were around $650. Now they have shot up over $100! Now I am stuck with a complete set of accessories e.g. case, screen protectors, car dock etc and NO GALAXY NOTE

Here in India, it is available for Rs32250 which is roughly $611. Unfortunately, Flipcart.com doesn't ship overseas.

The prices were dropping the prior to Christmas on Amazon. The lowest I saw was 638 or so. They started to go back up and I pulled the trigger at 649.90. I noticed they are higher than that now and Global Mobiles higher also and is running out of stock.
Demand must be growing!

At&t version be released soon. once thAt hAppens the prices will come down

Maybe not, the US one has a nerfed CPU. If you want the real version you still have to import.
I have the import and it is mint with a good screen (no bad pixels or dark areas). I might sell it nd replace with the Galaxy tab 7.7 if that comes out. Still not sure though.

I think what will help is that the average consumer has no idea what a Snapdragon or an Exynos is; but, one thing is for sure supply goes up prices come down!

I bought mine a couple weeks before christmas on eBay for $680 USD with free shipping.

Once the supply is directed to the large carriers there will most probably be a shortage on the unlocked front,Samsung doesn't manufacture Galaxy Notes alone.

I was originally going to wait for the AT&T version but once I heard about the CPU I plopped 690 for the international, should be here in 4 days, time to say goodbye to skyrocket

64GB One in the UK (whether and when)

Does anyone have any reliable info about when/if the 64GB version of the One will be available in Britain?
So far the only snippet I've found is this: www.modaco.com/page/news/_/android/htc-confirms-uk-plans-for-32gb-64gb-one-variants-r965
HTC has embarked on it's nationwide tour showing off the HTC One and it's not long until it hits these shores... but only in 32GB guise initially.
A HTC spokesperson confirmed to us that while both the 32GB and 64GB models will come to the UK in due course, the initial release will be of the 32GB variant.

I hate announcements like that. Even if we can trust it as accurate, there's no clue as to when. If it's going to be two weeks from now, then I want to cancel my 32GB pre-order and wait; but if it's going to be several months, I don't.
Anyone heard anything else?
Finally, a request: can we please NOT have any posts in this thread from people saying "you don't need 64GB"; quite possibly you don't, and that's great, I'm happy for you, and have no argument with you; but I do need 64, and am not especially interested in explaining why.

A good question is do you need LTE? If no look for an online store here in asia which could ship orders internationally. Asia will be getting 64gb versions this end of march.

Yes asia will most prolly get 64gb as they mite not get LTE..Htc is compensating by this.

Confirmed but no indication as to when it will be here:

I already posted that link.

I was at the HTC City Tour in Birmingham on Sunday. The leaflets they were giving out absolutely mention the 64GB variant for the UK. And when I asked when it will be released I was told shortly after the 32GB goes on sale. Couldn't get anything more precise than "shortly" though. It feels a great phone.

£479 for the Note10.1 (2014) 16GB WIFI only, in the UK

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.

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.

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?

Canadian Note 5 thread

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.

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.

Seriously pissed that Canada only gets the 32gb version, and only in black. I have sent protest tweets to Samsung Canada and Telus. Everyone should do the same (Samsung and your carrier).
Choice, what people want. Why does only Apple understand this?

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

Where did you see this demo

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.

Honor 8 announced in Europe for €399/£369.99

I was surprised nobody has posted this yet... The new honor 8 was announced in Europe at a launch event in Paris today, for €399 (£369.99 in Britain - yes that's a rip off, approximately $490)
The first thing that shocked me was that its price exceeds that of the OnePlus 3 (£329) even though the OP3 boasts a better chipset, better UI and considerably more RAM, secondly Honor seems to fancy ripping us Brits off while in the US both devices are on sale for $399.
I have made my choice and already ordered my OP3

One of the biggest phone supplier here in Lithuania promised to sell starting from 270 euros. We'll see...

Shocked at the UK price, was hoping that the 64gb would be around that and the 32gb around £310, then we didn't even get the 64gb!

It's shocking, especially as the US gets it for £300... Estimates I saw suggested it would start at £225 long prior to its release, so much for that...
Anyway I've made me decision and ordered the OnePlus 3, their shipping times are atrocious but their phones are great so they're forgiven

I saw blue 64gb in some russian eshop but I don`t know if it was official distributon. Here in czech rep. will be 64gb only gold for approx. 430€.

Vmall EU's customer service is almost as shocking as the price for the UK. I get that Honor is a rising brand but the justification to put up the price by £120 from the Honor 7 doesn't make sense.
I got fed up being messed around by VMall and cancelled my order and bought an OP3 just like the original poster.
I'm just wondering is there a way to get the phone from the likes of Oppomart and then flash a EU ROM? As the phone can be had for way less.

Got it for ~385€ in Czech Republic.
