Suddenly this morning the Note was in stock at expansys usa with a big price drop from 950+ to 790. There were 7 left when I just ordered mine. I think the return policy is best here and also I remember reading something about warranty honored with this seller but not sure. I grabbed it asap thinking it would sell out quick.
Looks like their OOS. Can't find it on their site.
negri has it for $815. wonder who the better seller is?
all of these prices are higher than handtec... dont know why you would pay the premium price considering that handtec overnight ships to the US for only 740 USD
Shipment will be from usa---so no chance of customs issues--see other thread for occasional such issues. Also I believe that expansys will help with warranty issues through their UK office if you need to use the samsung warranty--as per other threads on other phones. So that is why I was more comfortable buying expansys even though it was $50 or so more. I am new at this and may be wrong but this is my impression.

I didn't see galaxy note on their website. maybe they are sold out?
here is the link:
http://www.expansys-usa.com/samsung-galaxy-note-5-3-android-tablet-221966/
I think Expansys post out from their French location. That's where mine came from to the UK even though I ordered through the UK site.

I have scouring Gamestop, Best Buy, Amazon, etc. and most places are either out of stock or selling at premium (Amazon 3rd party seller is selling at $340+).
I have thought about ordering from Nvidia directly, but they have high shipping cost AND I am not sure if they have it in stock themselves. I mean, if they are not going to deliver in 2-3 weeks, I rather go with Best Buy because they have the same delivery timeline but I got 10% cashback.
So if you just recently bought the tablet, can you share where did you get it from?

Yeah, there are many if these scalpers in Amazon and eBay. I refuse to support these people and won't event pay them $ 0.01 over the MSRP.
Just picked mine up today at Micro Center. Their website showed the store was out of stock but when I went there they were available.
Dabs.com UK have to wait for cover due in few days
Got mine from scan.co.uk, they sell the bundle with controller, 5 metre hdmi cable & cover which I bought for £315.
This came next day, they had some stock last time I checked.

Order mine for Bestbuy.com on 8/14 to be shipped to store still have not received it .
Gamestop. They had only one in stock.
I really wish NVidia would do more to market this... they're going to become the HTC of tablets... good products, no marketing support, and therefore no market share. And when nobody's buying the products, nobody's stocking them.
Amazon did have them in stock with Prime shipping for a couple hours this morning, back to only re-seller for now.

That seller doesnt ship to the UK, Besides, in the UK 2 years of warranty is standard whereas North Americans get only one year.
I picked my one up from scan.co.uk on launch day for £240 (14th Aug). Tablet only.
It is developing cracks on the underside.

Crap!! Missed that. I wish there's a way for Amazontop alert me on this.
Shield cover seems to be out of stock both company's I use dabs and novatech are for advanced orders been waiting since the 15th and still no god dam cover that goes for my new micro SD to Grrrrrr
Amazon a few days after launch. Just received my cover from Nvidia this week.
Ordered from amazon directly at 130 am, was just messing around when I saw this. BTW you can install an extension in chrome which will email you when a certain product hits a certain price or lower. It's called camel something, not by computer right now.

Someone responded that he had tons of the tablets and reselling it online. Guess we now know why this tablet is rare. [emoji17]

Bought mine today on Nvidia since the only other one I can find is 70 miles away. It said it was in stock but I have no idea if it will ship on Monday or in a month. People on the forums said I'll probably get it in a week, but never get a shipping confirmation until after I get it... What is it with companies with green color schemes and poor shipping? (razer pulls the same **** with me and I end up getting products before I get tracking numbers).
I was about to order one from Amazon when I saw this. It seems to only apply to the white edition. I wonder if they are sending out the wrong version or something. I can't post the link because I am a new user but you can go see for yourself at the US website.
"Item Under Review
While this item is available from other marketplace sellers on this page, it is not currently offered by Amazon.com because customers have told us there may be something wrong with our inventory of the item, the way we are shipping it, or the way it's described here. (Thanks for the tip!)
We're working to fix the problem as quickly as possible."

What exactly is going on there? Sorry I don't know how it is meant to look.
Well basically short its got the 8gb sticker which freak me out cause I order the 16gb, until I check the settings. On amazon in reviews I heard that they were doing that but people were getting 8gb model but ordered 16gb. Even one guy said he bought a 8gb and got a 16gb so win win for him lol

I see, that is probably happening all over then as it's a mistake from the factory.

Probably a vendor bait 'n switch. I usually get my phones from carrier because I'm able to spend a whole lot less on acquiring phones & due to lucrative reasons...I get early buy-outs credited to the account, get the gift cards upon doing a hardware upgrade, giving me money to spend on groceries or electronics, etc. Which off-sets other expenses such as buying sim-unlock codes for the devices. Got my moto g 3rd gen osprey from carrier that way. But I bought a phone off of amazon once, and I doubt I'd be doing it again. Ordered the galaxy note 4, model sm-n910c (marketed for Thailand). Vendor shipped an sm-n910u (marketed for Hong Kong & a few other places), which the same vendor was selling for $100 less. The sm-n910u was selling for an extra $150 less by another vendor. The vendor never redeemed himself, so I asked him to swap the phone for an sm-n910c or price-match the cheapest vendor on the sm-n910u. He said he could either give us his price on the sm-n910u, or refund the phone. We returned the phone, he then said it was not in new condition, therefore he'd charge a 75% restocking fee. We opened a case with amazon and got a full refund.
I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of bait 'n switch on buying phones from amazon, so I'd recommend to triple-check phones upon receiving them when ordered via amazon. If it's within the 30 days of purchase and it's the wrong product, send it back, and if the vendor gives drama, open a case. Don't settle for less!
Dear All,
There seems to be no news on the availability of the 6P for Hong Kong. Anyone have any news on the availability for HK.
Thanks.

Unfortunately i don't think anyone knows anything about Hong Kong availability, i have friends that work at Google in Hong Kong and they don't know
furble,
Considering Nexus 5 release in Hong Kong was one of the earlier cities to get them back them, one would think Hong Kong would be one of earlier cities to get stock since Huawei has a decent presence in HK.
Yeah that's what I was thinking, but you see all these release dates and preorders in other countries and no news for Hong Kong.
Like i said, i asked my friend that works at Google Hong Kong and they told me they asked around and noone knows anything....
Hoping it comes out soon, my current phone is 3yrs old and this is most likely my next phone
dying to know this myself as i'm based in HK too. Huawei has a really big retail market here in HK so I think there will be a set release date with no need to preorder from google. Retail shopping is so big here.
I guess it most likely will be available this year. ?HK is not a big market and it probably won't make a dent in their small inventory.

Ye, it won't make a dent in their market with Nexus phones but there is a lot of authorised Huawei retail stores in HK which will stock them locally. Judging by that, there should be stock on release date.
Nexus phones aren't big here in HK but since its Huawei, and their presence in HK, it should do pretty well.
I remember Nexus 5 wasn't even for sale on any big retail stores. It should change this year.

I think Nexus 5 was available in Hong Kong, because i saw a friend had one the other week (old one) and he said he bought it from Fortress

That was what I thought when the N5 came out. I thought the retails shops didn't have them but they did stock them. I just asked and did have them in stock. Huawei HK website doesn't even mention the 6P so don't know what they are doing now. Like it was with the N5, the retail stores sold them at a premium compared to the Google Store. This will most likely happen this time around with the 6P. Google, make them available in November 2015!!!!!
Hey guys, so I was getting impatient too. I recommend you check out price.com.hk for list of shops that take reservations. I pre-ordered with CW Professional shop in CWB; they provide official warranty and I can pickup the 6P between Nov 3-6. I can't wait!
Where do they get the 6P?

Madeo,
Nice heads up on the find but watch out where they get their stock. Is this the 6P China version? HK version? North American version? I'm thinking their getting the China version which I don't know if there is a difference on the software side.
They said "100% 原裝正行, 中港聯保"
The official Google page have a sign up for news, but that's it.
I'm also waiting for official release in HK.
The Nexus 5 was available to buy in HK, it's just that most shops would rather sell you Samsung/Apple products instead. In the end I bought my wife a Nexus 5 directly from Google about a week after release.
We have to wait for Madeo to receive his handset from CW and see if it is legit or just wait it out. I have a hunch it will be available in November 2015 from Google Store.
How much is it and which model did you preorder?
Don't buy from retail store...

The prices are always higher then Google Store. I remember they priced it at $3800 for 16GB and $4300 for 32GB for N5. Further, they are usually opened and demoed before purchase by the consumer. At least we know handsets from Google Store are sealed box.

Looking back at my purchase history, I bought a white 16GB for HK$3,198 on Nov 20 2014, it arrived about about 3-4 working days later.
Google price will always be around the same as Fortress/Broadway shops, but you don't get any extras (screen protector usually).
Luckily there wasn't any defects on the phone but I think it would have been very easy for Google to pickup and send a replacement anyway.
I bought the Aluminium 32GB for 4688$HK ; that's the expected official price from the playstore hk. I'll let you guys know as soon as I pickup my device. Google will probably release the 6P in HK late November or early Dec but I can't wait; my current phone is dying on me.

Madeo,
Yes, who knows when they will start selling in HK (Google Store). Since, CW sells it at the Google price then it is all the better for the consumer. My Desire 820 alarm is all whacked. It comes on only a few time during the work week which is killing me.
Sin Dat and other local places
Dear All,
Anyone check out Sin Dat for the price and availability. Also, any cases or tempered glass screen protectors available in HK yet.
Can I trust the listings on Amazon and/or Ebay?
I've purchased all my devices on ebay, never had any issues. Amazon prices are a bit higher. Ebay has reviews or ratings for all sellers, check them before you buy and stay away from open box or used devices.
