Leaving Germany the 26th... - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, i'm in Munich for vacations... and will be leaving Sep 26th...
I wanted to buy a Galaxy Note 2 from a carrier or retailer before leaving... per gsmarena.com release is expected in Germany the 27th. Do any of you have an idea on which retailers are going to sell the Note II?
Or if it would be possible to me to get it a day before launch date. If this is possible. Maybe asking politely?

[Q] Buying The Galaxy Nexus In Germany

Hey Guys
My friend going to Germany and I want him to buy for me me the Galaxy Nexus.
Since we do not know Germany (by the way,he is going into Munich), I'd Glad if anyone can help us and tell me where it will be possible to buy it on Nov 17 Germany, Munich
Thanks in advance!
P.S
I heard they sell it in Vodafon as sim-free, Is it true? If so, where it will be possible to buy it there?
Thank you!
Sorry if I went through the Forum Rules..
Hello, I'm from Germany and I would advise your friend to preorder it to a German postal address (by Amazon.de or cyberport.de). I doubt that Vodafone or O2 or even big stores like Media Markt/Saturn have this device exactly on the date of release in stock.
Also, I would suggest him to be there a bit longer (talking about 2-3 days) than just until the 17th as there is no guarantee he'll have it in his hands on exactly this date.
If anyone else has another idea, go ahead. But this are my best 2 cents I have.
Tell your friend to look for "Vodafone" and "O2" Shops, they have been confirmed to carry the Galaxy Nexus during the UK launch of the Galaxy Note.
You might want to look for "Debitel" Shops also since you can already pre-order the Nexus there (for a good price: 530€).
But none of them said they would get the Galaxy Nexus on the 17th yet.
Mobilcom-debitel is also selling the Galaxy nexus without branding or sim-lock for a very affordable 529,95€, you might want to check that out.
Nice to see a thread for German sales in particular. Does anyone know if the 32GB model will be for sale here in November?
Regards
qwer23
edit: Just re-read the post above mine and saw that this shop was already mentioned - sorry!
Back to the original question, will it be possible to buy it on the 17th or 18th of November? Because in Mobilcom-debitel it says you can only buy it from week 47 (November 21st)
The last time I wanted a SIM free phone at a German Vodafone shop, they wanted me to become a subscriber. No thanks.
will it be possible to buy it on the 17th or 18th of November?

You might be out of luck. It looks like week 47 is the earliest date to get the Nexus in germany. There are a few sites stating Nov 24 as release date (= week 47) but nothing more concrete has been made public.
Edit 2011-11-10:
Ok, now o2 germany also said they are expecting the Galaxy Nexus to arrive in week 47. https://twitter.com/#!/telefonica_de/status/134322435293057024

Well, I guess I am out of luck, someone I know is going to be in Germany for 3 days, leaving one day before week 47

I just realized I have family in Munich. Does anyone know if an unlocked GSM is currently on sale there and what the price would be in American dollars?
Anyone know of any German sites that sell to the rest of the EU that can also actually be contacted?
Handyattacke.de simply won't respond at all and mobilcom-debitel.de seems to be domestic delivery only.

It should be available during the next few days. But I don't what is happening now because of the Volume bug. Most of the shops have the 2. December as a date.
The price would be something around this.
529.90 Euros = 712.55653 U.S. dollars

Thanks, but I know about expansys already and they are based in France if I remember correctly. They also charge more than Swedish stores and the release date seems to be the same. The reason I asked originally was because Handyattacke.de has a noticably lower price while the UK has a noticably higher price.

Hm yeah I saw that but I don't know any other stores which sell all over Europe.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Check out this list of german stores: geizhals(dot)at/deutschland/692132
You could try contacting the following major stores: cyberport, redcoon & alternate
(sry cant post urls :/)
handyattacke.de responded when I emailed them on an unlisted email address. They only said they expected them in stock "early december" so not very detailed there. I asked them for an estimate at least.
Apparently they will get it sometime during week 49.
Cyberport seems to the firstone to ship (01.12.2011)
Hi,
So I might be taking a trip to Germany in the end of December and was thinking maybe to get the GN while I am there. Because of ties to the military I will be able to get a refund for the VAT which could mean under $600... But I can only do this if I buy it in a store, not from the internet. Have you confirmed any stores for sure selling it unlocked? I know in my town there is a Media Markt and a Saturn as well as T-Mobile, O2 and Vodaphone stores.
Thanks
Hi,
Vodafone and O2 having this phone in their "upcoming models" list. I presume they will have it by Christmas.
Good luck.
Update:
MediaMarkt is selling out GalaxyNexus since yesterday (30-Nov) afternoon. Price is 599EUR. (With guarantee that if price goes down in Christmas, you will get the benefit too. I have no more information on that.)
Call your nearest MediaMarkt and reserve one as they've limited (first shot) stocks.
I bought one last night and I'm loving it!

[Q] Note II for sale in AT&T stores?

Is the Note II an online only item or will it be on sale in stores on Tuesday? I'm wondering because the AT&T smartphones page has it listed as web-only, but that could indicate the pre-order. The language on other tech sites is ambiguous as to whether physical stores will be carrying them.
It goes on sale on the 9th, next Friday. It should be in the stores. Tuesday is the day that the pre-orders are supposed to ship.
As far as I know the 9th is the official release date. So I can only assume the should have them in stores that day.

UK availability?

Hey all.
Does anyone know when this will be available in the UK? A few weeks back it was at lakeside with the promise of general sale a few days after. I cannot find it even listed anywhere outside of expansys. I really want it!
Cheers!

The 16gb is available at the samsung store in Westfield centre Stratford. Thats the only place im aware of that has stock at the moment. They only stock the 16gb WIFI version though
Yep it's frustrating at the moment, I am almost tempted to order the 3G version from amazon.de, I think if they had the black version I would have ordered by now.
I can't help feeling that Samsung are shooting themselves in the foot the longer they leave it with the new Nexus 7 just round the corner.
Sorry I meant Westfield not lakeside! It's the 3G one I'm after ideally. Maybe amazon.de is the way forward. I'll give the UK another week or so then go German!

Carphone warehouse say they will ship wifi version before week commencing May 5th is you pre-order. However they also said this 10th april for delivery before 19th April. I pre-ordered (they took my money) and I rang to chase on the 18th to see it slip out to May 5th. So I cancelled my order.
So I don't suppose this really helps you! but they are listing it and cheaper than amazon.de.
I noticed the Carphone Warehouse date slipping too, I really looking for a black 3G version which it seems is non existent right now.
I asked Samsung UK on Facebook, they replied
Samsung UK (Facebook) posted this:
Samsung Mobile UK Hi Julie, the wifi version will go on general release in the first week of May. ^George
No details of 3G or 32GB units
I'm in the States, but want the 3G/Phone N5100 version as well. Every site that I've seen it listed at in the U.S. has also slipped from April 23rd to May 8th availability. So those dates correspond well to a 3-4 day lead time from foreign sources such as the initial May 19th, then May 5th dates given by Carphone Warehouse UK.
Hopefully May 5th (and May 8th for me) will be the day! Fingers crossed...
I own a Note 2, and was intrigued by this device.
However, the price really puts me off. For an 8" tablet, it is in a price bracket of it's own. More expensive than the iPad Mini even.
I just can't justify that layout for something that is just a little bigger than my Note 2, it just isn't worth it.
A real shame, because it looks a great device.

Its in a price bracket of its own, because its in a league if its own. Even against the iPad Mini, the Note 8 has the pen digitizer, better CPU, and 4x the RAM (although the exterior build quality is arguably not quite as good, but still great).
Its worth if for those that value a premium device packed with features, versus the "race to the bottom" pricing strategy and gimping of features and quality present on devices like the Nexus 7, Kindle Fire, and Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. I for one am thankful that somebody has stepped up with a quality Android device (in the "smaller" form factor), as the lower-priced competition just doesn't hack it for me.
I am also waiting for the 3G version to become available so that I can replace both my Note 2 and IPad Mini with a single device. :good:
Samsung UK Facebook stated the wifi version would be available on 10th May.
Currys have the same availability date with the Note 8.0 ready to pre-order.
The Note is on Amazon UK - £339. However they are stating a 1- 3 month delivery. I'm confident that it will be available well before that time slot, as they often state this for newly released goods.

I'm assuming you got the WiFi only version? I'm patiently waiting for the 3G/Phone version to be released in the UK or elsewhere so I can get it through an importer to the U.S. (Los Angeles).
Yes just the white 16gb wifi is all they have....hope you don't have to wait to long
Thanks. We'll see. Unfortunately, Negri Electronics has pushed their "Expected Availability" date for the preorders forward twice already.

An Australian grey importer got the the 3G version in stock yesterday, so probably you'll see other importers get them soon.
Decided to wait further, as Australian versions of the device get 24 months warranty, but if you get an international version, it only has 12 months warranty. Endless waiting!

Does it mean that they'll start selling Note 7 on Sept 21? Or the stock is just for exchanges?

Samsung Galaxy Note 10, 10 + 10 + 5G, Pre Order Deals UK Only Plz!!

So which version of the Note 10 did you purchase ? And from where ? Also what offers or savings or trade in deal did you get ?

Got the 256gb Aura Glow 10+ direct from Samsung as i want the dual sim, sod all deals, but got circa £30 cashback going through Quidco so that pays for me case and protectors lol. Took thr £400 cashback for the note 9 as well and dumped it on Paypal 0% but that will be paid off next month so just a little breathing space
No goodies other than the trade in your old phone offer for UK customers. I am buying the 5G version from Samsung.com - the 512GB model isn't available for pre-order yet so will to go with 256GB in black.
Ordered Aura Glow 10+ 256gb through Samsung’s upgrade program, not happy with Samsung tho they doing £100 cash back with Amazon but not there own site?
How long does it take for the cashback?
What are the chances of us getting it before 23rd

None.
Having ordered from Samsung for the last several years it will dispatch late evening the night before and arrive on the stated day
yeah getting it early is very very unlikely, I've had it with other handsets in the past, they either ship late the day before so you don't get it early or they work with a shipping partner so they can send them out prior to the date but then the shipping firm holds them until the date of release, basically these firms have things in place to make sure that no one should break the street date. best you can hope for is a third party seller messes up. but from Samsung it is very unlikely the same is true of Amazon since they use their own shipping firm.
Ordered me some 5G with the Note 10+ in Aura Glow.......Roll on the 23rd......

Anyone noticed Samsung direct orders have swapped to "waiting dispatch"
So it will be sat like that till 22nd then
Ordered from ee 5g. 120gb data for £63.2 pm plus £20 upfront.
Pre-ordered the Note 10+ 5G 256GB in Aura Black while the Samsung event was finishing.
This is a big leap for me as my last Android was a Samsung Galaxy S3 3G. Meanwhile I had a Windows Phone (Lumia 1020) and then I've been with iPhone since 6s Plus. Replacing my XS Max now.
Ordered direct from Samsung UK's website. Order currently in Preparing for Dispatch. I already got a case, a screen protector pack, extra cables & chargers and a wireless charge stand. I'm so excited
I ordered a Note 10+ 5G 512GB Auraglow from Carphone Warehouse (EE Upgrade) which did say 23rd August at the time. There seem to be rumours starting of delays and now Carphone Warehouse are showing 10th September for new orders but unsure if its a delay or initial stock has gone. Weird that Carphone sold the model when Samsung have not released it on their website!

Oh that's interesting. Samsung UK are selling for 5th September delivery now.
I'd say, the initial stock is probably gone.

Its normal for CPW to get an exclusive colour for a set time . Auraglow 512GB 1st batch is now sold out for preorder now on Samsung site
For anyone ordered from the Samsung UK website, they should dispatch with DPD UK. If you have DPD's app on your phone you can set up your account with your address. You will get a notification as soon as something enters their network with your address for delivery

Actually it seems there were no 512GB 5G in either colour via Samsung direct (I believe status has always said "Get Stock Alert" rather than "Preorder". EE and Vodafone had this in Black only and Carphone Warehouse had both colours
