I just ordered from Staples and will deliver tomorrow.
I don't know why bestbuy doesn't has it. I ordered the Tab at BB back in July as pre-order.
Yeah, Future Shop and Best Buy have screwed the pooch on this. I just bought mine yesterday from The Source. I hear Staples also has them (try calling them). I bought mine in store (guy had to bring it out from the back so make sure you ask). You can check in store availability online at thesource.ca.
Once the first delay happened I just crossed the border and bought mine in the U.S.
I'm glad I did.

Me too, especially since the 32Gb model isn't coming here at all, it seems. And they're all "Emasculating White" as well.
Picked mine up at Staples in Vancouver a week ago, super nice, feels awesome in-hand in portrait and landscape, already looking forward to next years quad-core and inevitably higher res model.

Too funny, I would have preferred a "Super Manly" coloured back panel as well, fortunately I'm always looking at the screen with it's dark and ominous background picture
I bought mine from Staples two days ago. I'm not using any case, and it feels great in hands. However I bought the Samsung Book case from the Source today. It's a nice case but too expensive ($65+tax). Going to a meeting next week, and don't want to walk around with a flashy GT without a case.
Mine just arrived yesterday, ordered from ncix.com on Wednesday.
Anyone else found we don't have access to the 3.2/Touchwiz UX update yet?
they are in canada. The odd thing though, they seem to be a lot different from the US model.
Also, they haven't appeared to have brought the 32gb version or the metallic grey.
I use mine in canada, but bought the 32gb grey model from best buy in the US so i could have faster updates and the US apps and what not.
Samsung Bookcase $54.99 TheSource !
The Samsung Bookcase for the GT 10.1 is on sale until August 31st at TheSource,. Check the back of this week's flyer )on-line flyer) as website is not showing the sale price.
Other accessories listed at the Source are mobile charger and home charge (also on sale).
Now Available Best Buy/Future Shop
Canada
Best Buy showing GT as available as of: Release Date:08/25/2011
Order Online:
Temporarily Out of Stock: usually ships in 6-7 business days. 94 units available for back order. Limited Quantities available.
Black model listed.
Future Shop showing as being available in-store (back order online)
If you want the white back then go to Staples or The Source (touchwiz installed).
At least the Source is carrying a case. What's missing though is the usb connection kit. I am hoping that shows up soon or I'll buy off ebay. Tigerdirect.ca was showing 32gb models in stock as a combo with the docking port for $680, but I was a bit skeptical. I asked their online sales guys and they confirmed it was in stock. I thought it was a mistake they posted this on their canadian website and sure enough, 2 days later there is no mention at all of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 on the Tigerdirect.ca website. I really like my Tablet, but I would rather spend $100 more and have double the storage capacity since the device is already 'expansion neutered'. The Canadian market is being manipulated for some reason, did other non-us regions get only 16gb as well? I was considering the Toshiba Thrive, but that tablet has bad screen ghosting like the Xoom. It's also kinda ugly... but then it has all the ports you could want... The bad thing about all these android tablets is the lack of accessories carried in the stores.. I mean, how can you launch the Galaxy Tab in Canada and stores like staples don't even have 1 accessory for it. They don't even have accessories for the Transformer (their stock case is horrible btw)....
Rob
How is text entry on forums like this one and redflagdeals with the 10.1?
I returned a transformer as it was rather poor thought I'd have to wait for Tegra 3?

These units should come with touchwiz already installed. Is 3.2 even available at all from Samsung?
Rob
After having checked, it does look like I have touchwiz, but not 3.2.
I have seen them at The Source in Square One mall in Mississauga. I was looking for the book case but they were sold out. The Best Buy's I've checked have the display material out but not the actual tabs, the salesguys all say it got delayed. Weird.

Supply seems to be rather limited at the moment. Both of the staples stores here in Regina only got 2 each. We have 4 Source stores and they seemed to only get 2 in each as well. I really like the tablet, but I'm still annoyed by the lack of accessories (no one has usb adapters) and not having the 32gb model available.

It's fine as long as you disable auto correction and auto completion in Swype. Also Swype seems to be more prone to sluggish text entry than the stock keyboard. And Google Instant Search appears to slow things down, so disable that.
Seems today best buy's webpage switched the razer edge from preorder to available. Is it now? 1 day ship says I will have it on the 29th
anywho here is the link :http://tinyurl.com/bm4ko4q
Edit: called best buy today. Was told that they guarantee the tablet to arrive at my home by monday the 29th. So I guess lets see if it comes in
finally out! anyone else jumping boats? got the 32gb black version sadly need to way until it leaves warehouse nov 8th =(
I have ordered the black 32gb one too, will be giving my HTC One the my wife.
No, I like my One and Sense. I will stay with my One until at least spring 2014 when we will see the next generation of phones shipping or I might even hold on to it until fall 2014 to finally be able to grab the latest top phablet
i bought a red one today

Off topic to this device. This is HTC One section in case you didn't know .
Is any one in here waiting to preorder the tab pro 12.2? Amazon has the 32gb in black up for preorder but still doesn't say when its going to be available. The white one is still not up for preorder yet though.

Ordered one yesterday. B&H Photos stated about mid-March which might make sense: one month of Note Pro sales, first. Rumors are the Verizon version of Note Pro will be released on March 6. I'm hoping for mid-March--or sooner, of course.
Just got a tracking number from amazon. Looks like it will be here tomorrow march 5th. I used 2 days prime shipping.

Seriously so soon? It is only a pre-order even as of today.
It's still showing pre-order on amazon. But somehow, they sent me a tracking number for it. I'll update it once I get it tomorrow.
Mine still shows "preparing for shipment, " but since Samsung just announced March 9 release, it may change soon. I'm also Prime. Ordered March 3 early in the day EDT. It shows in my orders, but I didn't get an order confirmation email.
6:30 PM EDIT: Just received a text that the tablet (+ micro sd card I ordered this morning) shipped for delivery Friday. No email nor amazon.com showing either has shipped-yet.

Shipped through Philadelphia early AM. ETA (south central FL) tomorrow.
Amazon still lists as "not yet released."
Now I wait for root.
@sic_lic1o1, did you get yours yesterday? You probably did and are too busy playing with it in any spare time to get back to the forum.
Yes I did receive mine yesterday. Got home late from work so I didn't have enough time to play with it much but I snapped a few shots of the tablet. I always like the big size tablet. The first thing I checked was the build quality, dead pixels and light bleed. So far I haven't found anything wrong with the tablet yet. There's not any noticeable light bleed compare to my Samsung galaxy 2014 special edition. There's also no lag so far for me.
It's a beaut all right. Thanks for sharing. Mine (my son 's, really) got to Louisville, KY. Amazon still shows not released.

Ours arrived today, but I'm sending for a replacement. There's a row of dead pixels (possible dust as it is horizontally linear--about the size of 3-4 pixels) in the upper left quadrant but closer to the center. In that skyline picture on your last pic, it's just above the pointed spire so not in a very inconspicuous spot.
Once you find those things, your mind can't "unfind" them. It shows on every pixel test screen and on every other screen. I guess it was our turn--over a dozen devices in the past three years and this is the first with the issue. Otherwise, everything about the tablet is what we were hoping for.

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully Amazon will overnight it to you. I like the size so far, its a lil heavy but I don't hold it much. Mine does have some backlight bleeding when i used the backlight bleeding app to test it . But nothing major compare to my note 10.1 special edition.

Thanks. Yep, Amazon overnight. We don't live anywhere near Best Buy (55 miles) which also does easy exchanges, so Amazon gets our business most of the time. Before I mentioned 12 devices. It's actually been 16. Our first tablets were Pandigital Novels. This is the first Android devices that probably won't get rooted. Now I'm supposedly thinking about the 8.4 for myself.

Yep pre-ordered this morning online. Ship date was 19-21 Apr.
I have indeed, Midnight Black. I got told over the phone while making the order that it would arrive on the 29th but on the website it states the 20th for pre-orders. Hope it's the latter! I'm getting it from my network on contract this time though, not buying from Samsung directly.
Yep, preordered mine. Midnight Black. Didn't get any info about the VR though, does that come later?
Vr does not ship with phone. You submit a scan of the receipt and upload it to samsung promo site and then it ships direct from them in 4 weeks or so. Same as it was for S7
Ordered mine last night at 12:06am. Midnight Black S8+. Going to be sexy as hell. Ship date of 4/20-21. Also getting the VR bundle as promo for preorder. Considering paying the extra $99 for the AKG over the ear headphones + 256gb sd card.
http://imgur.com/001E1R6
The ones from Samsung supposedly arrive on the 20th and they include the promotional items. No filling out forms or wating for them to process and ship it separately.
Mine was a complete rigmarole. When I moved from the V10 to the V20 because the V10 just stopped working, they took away my Jump and then when I wanted to upgrade to the S8+ I was told I'd have to pay full price.
Next breath, the rep said, "If only you had Jump..." I lost it on her and told her I was told I couldn't keep jump. Very long silence, and she comes back with, not sure why you were told that, maybe we can put it back. An hour late, and a supervisor re-established Jump and I was able to upgrade to the S8+. Very weird they are stripping people of their Jump when it wasn't sunsetted at all.

I'm using the 200G card they gave away with the V10.
Preordered through Best Buy! Midnight black.
I have been out of the game awhile, is it likely we'll see root on the GS8/GS8+?
(As long as we act quickly once the exploits are out, I know they get patched ASAP)

Forgot to mention I ordered midnite black as well. Sexiest one. I almost got the grey one though.
Preordered a midnight black from Vodafone Australia, but Australia will release on 28th...... need to wait another week..... sad
Are they not unlocked from Samsung in US then? They are from the UK.
I've ordered from Samsung directly this time as CPW ballsed up the note 7 recall so I'd rather go direct. I'm not sure that will result in better service but hey ho.
just ordered mine in Sweden.. We don't seem to get anything extra with it.. No offers for early ordering at all. which sucks.. Got the Arctic Silver, delivery expected on the 20th April.
Just pre ordered mine last night. Says it should arrive the 21st

they aren't sold in conjunction with partners/deals. All phones I've bought from Sammy UK have been unlocked. As are sim free phones from CarPhoneWarehouse.
Preordered a midnight black AT&T S8+ from best buy the night of the 30th. A $100 savings was too good to pass up. Anybody with experience on best buy phone preorders? Is it likely to arrive by the 21st? Or earlier?
