OK Good people what did you order?
I went with the Ultra 256Gb Mystic White.
Bit disappointed at the lack of decent colours but it is what what it is.
So what did you order?
Just gotta wait til 21 August - Here we go again.
In Ireland I pre ordered the 256GB mystic bronze. Trading in my S20 Ultra towards it.
256GB in black here.
512gb bronze for me
I pre-ordered mine during the unpacked event. I am using the Samsung Upgrade Programme to upgrade from the Note10+ 5G. The process with Klarna and Samsung was very smooth. Getting the Black 512GB and chose the buds for the 'free' gift. They did not let me select a colour so I would assume they will send out the bronze ones as shown in the photo? Maybe they will send matching ones with the note colour that I chose.
There are some missing details here, but Samsung's UK website suggest that we are getting the Hybrid Dual SIM model. Which means 2 physical SIMs or 1 physical SIM and a microSD card, plus unlimited(?) eSIMs. It sounds great.
We are also missing the full band list for modem connectivity. It'll definitely work in the UK, but good to know as we are expecting more 5G bands to be used in the UK and perhaps travelling to other countries (yes, I know quite difficult in the current circumstances, but it might just happen).
ultra 256gb in white also ordered Watch 3 45mm in silver and 41mm in Bronze for the wife so nearly £2k spent
Where are people trading in their S20 Ultra? I tried Samsung direct, but its not in the listed devices for me?
It's on the trade in list on the Irish Samsung website. Just double check again.
Annual UK Note crowd I see I'm in! Note 20 Ultra ordered. Looking for a good carbon case.
Edit: and Watch 3
Note 20 ultra
Galaxy watch 3
Tab S7 plus
All arriving on 21st...going to be a busy day

Glad Someone got their email fine. I want to move to the note 20 but somehow Samsung has ****ed up my date for upgrading which is annoying some how.
I been upgrading to the new note since the Note 8 and been upgrading every august once it was announced at the unpacked event and this year some how my date had moved like under 2 months from when I got the note 10 (pre ordered on the 7th August through the upgrade program and gotten the phone on the 21st and according to their site for me bizarrely that equated to upgrade on the 30th September 2020).
The shop was useless and said it might arrive towards the end of August but can see I am up date with payments. I did post on the forum and one of the mods asked for my agreement number so they can look into it and hopefully they can resolve it as with the note 9 and 10 we originally had sweet fa on pre order bonuses and the one time they finally give something they had to **** up my date and stop me from doing my pre order I had always done in august.
The Camera I was more interested in getting the upgrade for but disappointed they kept their processor and the same one in the S20 and wish for the UK they went the SD 865+.

It seems like anyone selecting the ear buds as a gift will get the bronze colour by default. Oh well...

I got an email a few days before the event telling me that my window opens on the 5th of August. Then I ordered during the event. Got several emails to confirm the loan with Klarna and order with Samsung. Later in the evening I got an email reminding me about the window, which was probably automated as the confirmation email about the order from Samsung includes an item called 'Samsung Upgrade Welcome Back' and I had to answer questions about the condition of my current Note 10+ 5G (which was recognised automatically) while placing the order.

Usually I would of gotten an email saying your upgrade window is open but this year I put my agreement in and it said I have until 30th September which also one of the mods found odd. Just hope they get it sorted in time for me to upgrade.

Yup and we also get the exynos and we buy it knowing full well it will throttle and then we mourn. Us Brits are a special lot though aren't we and Sammy knows it ?.
Woo hoo. Just pre ordered my Note20 Ultra which is my first ever Note. I have been a big Android user since the HTC Magic, but my last Samsungs were S3 and Galaxy Nexus back in the day. Since then I have had every generation of the Nexuses and Pixels with a few Onepluses thrown in for good measure. This year however I just fancied something different but stacked with features so I'm returning to Samsung after 8 years away. Hope I made the right choice!

I jumped from the S3 to Note10+ 5G last year and I am really enjoying it, so also upgrading to Note20 Ultra 5G this year. In the meantime I was away from Android for years.
I'm sure it'll be a good experience for you.

Just got an email and once again it's a delay:
Thank you for your recent order at BestBuy.ca! We just wanted to inform you that your pre-order item(s) is currently awaiting the release date. You will receive a Shipment Notice email as soon as inventory is ready.
This order contains:

This is the 5th delay!

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.
I have always been faithful to the note line and always upgraded to the latest models, but i cannot lie that the s6 edge is truly the first line from the "S" models that will make me go for a smaller phone. Anybody feeling the same way?

Yep, I have the Note 4, but that S6 Edge looks like a thing of beauty, and I haven't really used the S-pen as much as I thought. And a slightly smaller, pocket friendly phone would be okay.
So I have preordered the green S6 Edge. Couldn't resist!
Hold your money i would say. Note 5 will bring this little piece to shame. Trust me note line is the real landmark of Samsung.

Danish here myself, and the green one wont arrive until june. It even says in stock unknown with callme if you check. All other colors will arrive on the 10th except green. If you check everywhere else in Denmark you will se they all say green wont arrive until June. So you are in for a long wait unless you pick a different color.

Bugger, that doesn't sound good. Strange they don't tell me then.
Here in US I'm seriously thinking about it but... I got the very expensive ($900) Note Edge 1st day out. This phone is awesome once you master customizing the edge screen. After using it for awhile it feels very natural. unless you own one it's very hard to understand just how useful the edge is. Don't get me wrong though, I am going to buy the S6Edge but only because it's shinny and new. "The Galaxy Note 5 Edge* is the only real upgrade for me. If the 32g Note Edge cost me $900.(which is the most expensive device I ever purchased) I guess the newly designed metal and glass 128g Galaxy Note 5 Edge will cost? $OMG$

I've just been in contact with them, because I wanted to know if this was true. Thankfully, they said that I preordered it early enough to be in the 'first wave' that gets it on the 10th/11th of April. So that makes me happy!
But of course it's not good news for people who ordered later/too late, and therefore have to wait until the 'second wave' of the green Edge phones arrive.
UPDATE: Bugger. In spite of their promise, they have now told me that it will be delayed to late may or beginning of June...
Jarir and extra are having the same prices, unfortunately only 2 colors are available now according to extra's websites.

When I saw this image on the FMP Facebook page, I rushed to my nearest location thinking that they had the S6 on display at these locations. Unfortunately they didn't have jack.

I got their email too but I am here in Az Zulfi and will go to Riyadh on the 9th. The email said they will hold the unit until 9. A free case? I was wishing it would be the wireless charger. LOL. What is the case?
Anyway, my friend pre ordered on the first day too a 32 GB edge Gold. And he received an email saying it is not available. Instead they are offering the normal s6 in white and black or edge 64 gb black.
Can you take a photo of the case they are giving as a gift?
Also have you seen this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/flash-lit-t3069039
Can you check if this issue is found in your S6?
Last question. Did you buy a screen protector in Jarir or any other cases if they are available?

I would have loved the Wireless charger too! The case is the 'Clear Cover' case from their official accessory list - I'm at work now and couldn't take a pic but here it is:
It's hard plastic but pretty useless as it provides quite minimal protection. Jarir do have other official cases available like the flip and view cases.
I can confirm that my S6 and my friends S6 both have the issue decribed in the linked thread - though its pretty hard to see it in mine, it's definitely there.
Another thing, the shipping firmware for the Saudi region is ANCIENT, almost prototype like - dated 28th Feb! It doesn't even have alphabetical sorting of the apps yet and the battery is so terrible that its almost unusable. I charged it to 100% yesterday and used it at half brightness for 1 hour and 41 minutes and the battery fell to 17%. Let it charge again overnight, woke up at 6:00am and haven't touched it at all because I'm scared and saw at 8:30am that it fell to 67% without any usage. I think they're not letting retailers sell it before the 10th because they're going to push out an update that the user is to download immediately.
shoudlnt you be getting an update as soon as you open it? i remember the note 4 when i bought it asked immediately to be updated and i hope that fixes your batatery problem
I think samsung rushed the phone to be released but the battery should not be that bad at all as I know.. I'm trying to get my device soon and let's see if I'll have the same issues or not
Hi
This morning ( http://www.knowyourmobile.com/samsu...axy-note-5-release-date-specs-prices-features ) and recently I've read a couple of articles suggesting the note 5 under the N920F model number could be landing in the UK in January.
I've ordered a grey from MyGSM.ME but not yet paid for it as it is out of stock. So I'm in a dilemma - do I wait or take a grey (told it should be available in 2/3 days). Coming from a note 4 which works fine, think I may wait...
If anyone has any updates on the new that UK will receive the Note 5 - stick any updates here guys !!!

This morning ( http://www.knowyourmobile.com/samsu...axy-note-5-release-date-specs-prices-features ) and recently I've read a couple of articles suggesting the note 5 under the N920F model number could be landing in the UK in January.
I've ordered a grey from MyGSM.ME but not yet paid for it as it is out of stock. So I'm in a dilemma - do I wait or take a grey (told it should be available in 2/3 days). Coming from a note 4 which works fine, think I may wait...
If anyone has any updates on the new that UK will receive the Note 5 - stick any updates here guys !!!

Well, it´s a roumor - and gadgette revised their wording. Lets see....don´t think it will happen.
If Samsung would offer an S6+ without edge, I would take that aswell. But the edge is terrible. It distorts the image and shifts colors around the edges...
Not sure if its worth waiting for uk version as it will be quite expensive, not worth it. Bought N9200 dual sim and both EE and 3 4g coverage works only cost me 450.00 which is about right.
I'm doubtful it will ever happen. If it does it'll be just 6 months before the note 6 and all you gain is security of a local warranty. I'd rather start using the phone today.

Same here - also, I think in no way will the phone be offered under 600€. So, pretty much any import is cheaper at the moment.
They screwed up big time - if the note 6 will add an SD card slot again my note 5 will be gone instantly anyway.
and if they do the same as they did this time with no UK launch?? That's why I bought the n5, especially after trying the Priv and returning it. The n5 is like a polished (literally!) n4 which I got bored of.

Well I took the plunge into the 3T after owning a Z3+ for two years. Was thinking of the normal 3 but my inner geek wanted the latest. Who here is also on the bandwagon? And all this development nonsense about not supporting is just stupid in my opinion, many people who never got the OP3 and have upgraded from much older devices including developers from other places will at some point.
I decided to go for the 3T and ordered this morning. Have been using the S6 Edge plus but feel it is limited because there aren't any real roms for it. Only roms are all dated not a big deal for me to use so waiting to get my new 3T next week.

Going to be a big upgrade from my Z3+ in which I was disappointed from day one but thought updates would sort battery and heat.
I ordered some cool cases and a full screen protector. They also do the neo hybrid case that I'll get too. There some of the best cases, have a look over at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/accessories/compatible-one-plus-3-t3501030/page1
Also ordered last night, waiting for it to ship like it's Christmas morning. Still using my LG V10, but I find the phone too large and heavy. I know the OP3T is similar sized, but still a bit smaller and much lighter. Aside from no SD card support, I'm hoping I can last 2-3 years on it if not more.
I ordered one last night at 1203pdt and got the ship notice about 30 mins ago. So hopefully will be herd this week if not early next week
Edit.
Mines expected to be herd by end of day thursday. Wooo

I don't think most people get 128GB just because they need the space, but because it doesn't have sd slot, so if 64GB isn't enough later on then you are screw.

If I hit that point, a nice format will clean things up :laugh:
I ordered mine! Should be getting it next Tuesday. I have the G5 from T-Mobile now and it just never got any development. And the camera loses all functionality when you start using the ROMs that are finally coming out for it.
I was thinking a pixel xl 128 but it's never in stock and too expensive. I'm just hoping they release a Android N beta in a week or two...But not a big deal if they don't....and release the camera libs so devs can make sure the stock camera works like it's suppose to.
I'm excited. I'm guessing it will only take a couple of months..maybe just weeks for the dev community to start coming with gas....unlike my G5 that took a billion years.
I put an order for the 128, my only real regret is the expected date says November 29. I think they sold out because if you look on the order page it says ships in 4 weeks. But now I'm worried if my order order changes from Nov 29 to Dec 29.
Selling my Galaxy S7 Edge on Swappa on the 21st paid for $453 of the $479 price tag. So I see it as just $25 for the upgrade. I call it an upgrade because I wasn't happy with the speed of the Exynos S7 I had, and that slippery glass back was something you'd always have to worry about and if you touch it even after washing your hands it just gets ugly.
Mine is shipped and got the shipping number.
I ordered at 12:02am and received a shipment notification at 7:16pm. Got to love DHL Express. I am in California.

I was going to, but decided against it. More expensive than OP and you cant buy sim free. I'll wait and order on Monday. Just trying to work out if it is worth the extra £30 for the 128gb. I never use it, so I might just go for the 64gb.

Thats interesting, I never thought about going into a store. The website was only showing pay for device in full and then adding a pay as you go sim on top. It is still more expensive that OP from what I have read, if it was the same price I would have done the pre-order.
£18 more expensive but if something happened to the mobile later down the line at least i could go instore .
