Yep, and given that for $741 USD you can get it in Switzerland/Germany, there's no way I'm forking out over $800 for it.
Seems that in the netherlands they list it for €590 (us$815)
I always hate it when a device is more expensive in specific regions
mobicity and smoothmobiles.com.au both have them now.
mobicity- $899
smoothmobiles- $895
im not sure whether to get one or not, its a extremly hefty price. i was planning on getting a normal galaxy S again, ( other died, no warranty cause i bought it 2nd hand and the owner is not here no more ) so i was going to get a brand new one
not sure what to do now.
Yeah, I'm gonna have to buy one me thinks - I'm addicted to my SGS and an upgrade will be awesome
Techrific has it for $889

Big bump.
So the Australian release will be around June, you guys going to get it now or what?
If its on the Optus $59 I will, if its on the $79 its too much imo, I'd rather get the Arc
I'm selling my iPhone 4 and will just buy it outright from uk, Australia is just such a ripp off.
I'm half way through my contract with optus so, I sell my iPhone for $700 and the gs2 was $724 so for $24 dollars I have upgraded. to top it of when my contract runs out I'll get the sgs3 lol yayyyyyy
Yeah replacing my Atrix with my SG2 which will hopefully be here by Friday. Ordered from Handtec as i didn't wanna get ripped off by Aus online resellers lol
Hey guys, who's getting their SGSII from where?
How much did/will it cost you (in AU$)
Is it NextG?
Which processor?
NFC?
Anyone here ordered a UK versrion of the sgs2? I take it ill have to get an adapter for the charger considering the sockets are different?

I bought from Mobicity, $900 (yay for disposable income). It says NextG compatible, no NFC and with the Samsung CPU (not NVIDIA Tegra 2)
hmmm.... I might get one from expansys.... will probably wait until next week and scope out a few other places as well.
I was upset that it won't have NFC because I believe NFC will become common use in everyday life sometime soon.... but after a bit of research I think NFC will be more commonly built into sim cards instead of phones themselves, so it's not so much an issue for me now. Also it's probably not going to hit mainstream until after the London Olympics by which time I'll have a new phone anyway.
handtec, price was AUD $700, i don't care about NFC, it is gonna be switched off constantly anyways, don't think it will get popular soon
Where to buy
Hey guys,
I've been doing some research on where to buy, I'm listing them in cost order, cheapest first. If I've missed out on a site, let me know.
If there is any reason why you wouldn't buy from the cheapest, please let me know.
I've never bought a phone online before and I'm kinda anxious about it.
I've gone as far in the checkout as I can, and prices include shipping to Melbourne, the cheapest option (no more than 7 working days).
Not VAT. Is that correct?
Currency conversions using Google on 4/05.
Unlocked Mobiles £435 $663
Handtec £456 $695
Clove £464 $707
Expansys $720
Mobiciti$914
Smooth Mobiles $924
So the cheapest is from Unlocked Mobiles, and the cheapest Australian store is Expansys.
Which store are you going to buy from, and why?
!!!!!!! I had it all nicely formatted, and the name of each site was a direct link to that website's listing for the SGSII.
But I can't post links.
Spent ages typing it up too...
my DHL online tracking still says Departed Facility in LONDON-HEATHROW - UK, same as 30 hrs ago... hm..... hope i can get it tomorrow

I can't afford to buy outright just now, so I am waiting patiently for it to be released so I can grab it on my plan with Optus! Waiting, Waiting, WAITING!
Just found this - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/330673087472
3 new Galaxy Notes for sale for £395. I've bought one. Been waiting for a great price like this. Fingers crossed all is good when it arrives!
Its not new, there is no box, just the phone and charger so probably returned or refurbished even though says new.wonder what's the warranty situation for these phones bought from Ebay. price looks fine though. Tempted myself to get one for my wife but probably worth the extra forty quid to get from Amazon.de

Well, they've wrote "this is the samsung galaxy note n7000 new". It's completely against the rules to be deceitful about things like that, and doing so can warrant a full refund and negative feedback. Neither of which an ebayer ever wants. I'll let you know how it all looks when it arrives.
The price on amazon.de is fluctuating a lot due to shortage of stock, so you need patience to get a nice price.
I found this store on ebay (http://www.getgoods.de/mobilfunk/samsung/441391/samsung-galaxy-note-n7000?c=156) and it's selling the Note at 499 euros.

I've been waiting for weeks, trust me I've been patient
When I started looking they were about £470, they dropped as low as £430 at one point, which I almost went for.
Patience is the key. Early adopters are the heroes. We get a chance to sit back and watch the bugs ironed out.The development processes mature and the prices drop. Waited a few months to jump on the SGS II and recently bought my wife one which was less than $400 used with a pile of accessories. If I have can hold out till April or May it should prime for all the advantages of waiting.
In the mean time the SGS II is the same device only smaller.
I have my eye on this:
http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B006T2KTEU/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&s=ce-de&psc=1
White Note!! Finally!!
Amazon.de have run out of the black ones though... 60-70 Euro price difference... I will wait till the black and white are priced roughly the same before buying it.
I'm having a lot of trouble locating one of these. It's currently out for AT&T correct?
Not on newegg or amazon.
For those of you using this as a phone as well.. could you give me feedback on how you like it? Do you use a bluetooth headset? If so, what brand/model?
Please take some time to read previous threads on this.
after doing a bit more research heres what i've found (cant post links bc im a new user):
ebay - 629.00 - 7 day return policy - 1 year seller warranty.
amazon - 659.99 - no warranty
not on any major sites (other than amazon) such as newegg and crutchfield, or bestbuy.
the ebay deal > amazon (obviously).
surprised its not sold by these major retailers... what gives?
also, its factory "unlocked" meaning it isnt carrier specific?

Negri - ~$580 with shipping
https://negrielectronics.com/samsun...gb-wifi-only-black-open-box.html#.T2n_38US1Ng
Craigslist
That's where I got mine at a ridiculously low price. $400 with a 2 yr square trade warranty. It was purchased from Negri.
I've seen other listings on Craiglist as well for lower than that Negri price.
OK.... IF you have AT&T already (smart phone with data), then you can get the International version of the tab. (6800)
AT&T and T-Mobile currently DOES NOT offer therse in there product line..
BUT They do work on those carriers..
.And the phone parts works too as well as internet, txt and mms messaging.
Verizon DOES carry them, but there is no phone capabilities built in . So no phone, txt or mms with Verizon
Here's a thread on where to buy in the USA.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468325
The Negri link that maverick 777 posted is for the WI-FI version only..
That device WILL NOT give you phone, txt or mms capabilities.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525108
If you want the phone etc with using your existing sim card from your smart phone with data plan with AT&T or T-mobile...
Then you need to get the international version with quad band etc
So I just remove my AT&T sim card out of my smart phone and jam it in my 6800 tab and BAM!!! Now I have a 7.7 inch screem smart phone!!
As far as using it for a phone.. it's cool IMHO, but you'll read where others distain the look and feel of a 7.7 inch phone..
I get along with it just fine...

.good luck with your decision

i just read that negri isnt reliable. can someone who bought from there give insight?
edit: After reading the links, Negri is obviously reliable. There still wasn't a definite answer about the 'white' back and the 'silver/black' back. Any insight?
I'd say call Negri directly... may as well start at the source..
They're 800 number is in the web page..
I got mine there.. still waiting on the USA adapter for the charger though they promised it was in the mail twice now.
They should be able to tell you if they have any white ones..
Good luck
.
I believe that Negri lists white and silver models separately on their site (and they have different price). So you can order the one you want. When I was ordering, the white ones were back-ordered.
I bought my GT 7.7 (and a Nokia N9) from Negri and was very satisfied with both orders.
Negri Most Reliable
I bought both my Note and 7.7 from Negri. They seemed to have inventory before most, and always comfortable to buy a product from a Company in the U.S. (Las Vegas) They shipped same day and delivery exactly when they said. I will buy my Note 10.1 from Negri when available. Both units previously purchased were international, which is best if you want to spend the extra money.
My experiences allow me to highly recommend Negri as your source vendor.
Negri has the 6810 for only $498.50. Sucks I just paid $572.50 less than a month ago!
I wish to get a Galaxy s2, i much prefer it to the Note still, not dissing the note, great kit, just lil too big for me.
How much does an unlocked note sell for second hand in mint condition, anyone got any ideas, im in the uk, ive googled it and ive seen prices of like £300, but i find that hard to believe as the phone is £599 in the shop still where i got it from, so im concerned that some of those online prices me be for copies or variants, i know the S2 had copies knocking about for a while.
Any advice appreciated.

I bought a 2nd hand note for my wife for £370, my mate bought a 2nd hand one for the same price off ebay. I've even found it for sale for just £354 plus £10 postage..I bought my tablet off these guys so its legit.
So about £350-380 would seem to be the going rate for selling it as used.

£599??!! You got ripped off, I got mine brand new for £430 a month ago.
Daaaaayum
Daaaaaaaaaaaaayum WTF the only £370 BNIB Unlocked on Ebay, im selling my GS2 to buy one
I would say 300 2nd hand is about right. I just picked one up on contract for a total contract cost of 370 (so that includes 200 mins/unlimited text/100mb data). I reckon within a month or 2 the resale value will be 200-250.
Mobiles just dont hold their value as well any more imo. Example would be my LG Optimus 2x I paid 480 or something new April last year, by November/December you could pick them up new for 200 new, now I'd be lucky to get a 100 2nd hand for it. After that it put me off ever buying another device within the first 6 months of its life cycle.

got a quote off CEX today, £330 in its mint condition, so ill be listing it around that, i guess online you can get anything cheap if you look hard enough, id like to know if all these foreign cheapo Notes are actually N7000`s or if they are actually the variant.
If i wanted a HTC One, yer i can get it cheap online, but it aint the HTC ONE X, its a different cheaper model.
Checked again today, all highstreet re-sellers have the Note listed at £500+.
With used N7100s selling for over $600 on Ebay and a dearth of them on the closing marketplace here, I think it will be awhile for prices to drop into the $500-$550 range. I pulled the trigger on one. New Egg has a 30 day return policy and ships quickly. I buy all my PC building parts from them.
Samsung Galaxy Note II N7100 Titanium Gray 3G Unlocked Cell Phone w/ 5.5" Super AMOLED Touch Screen / Bluetooth 4.0
$30 off w/ promo code EMCYTZT2557, ends 11/27
And then you go to pay, and they say the device may be manually unlocked with scratches...
I didn't order, and bought for 550$ from eBay.

The N7100 does not have to be "manually unlocked"
That is for US carrier phones that need to be PHYSICALLY unlocked! LOL Its a disclaimer that does not apply to already factory unlocked phones. and with a 14 day no questions asked return policy, there is not much risk taking here. NewEgg is a very reputable online store.
The only phone on Ebay for $550 was or is a used white one missing accessories. I did not see any new devices selling for $550. I would have bought it if it was a US company.
ALL unlocked phone sellers should have that disclaimer.

There was a black friday deal on ebay for a BRAND NEW Galaxy Note 2. for $550. They sold 1,000.
see if this link works for you, its an expired listing now. but u might still be able to view it.

I think newegg.com extended the sale to 11/27/2012
I purchased mine from Newegg, beginning of November when they had it on sale for $589. It was brand new in the box and runs SWEET!

I jumped on the $49 with rebate Tmobile deal. TMobile screwed up soooo badly that online orders got canceled and my phone order didn't get processed till after the deal was closed in their system. So as result they manually gave the deal, $49 and I do not have to do the mail in rebate. So not bad, I can get the phone for $49 + $200 etf + $63 for the month of service. Wish I had ordered 3 more.

I am sure and in January maybe $500 LOL At some point I had to jump. Anything less than used pricing was good enough. $550 would have been great. But My Note is on Ebay now and that would be worth less as the Note II goes down so it's a wash going forward. But yeah $550 would have been sweet considering the used ones are selling for new prices on Ebay. Crazy! I am curious what my blemished Note will bring. Its at $290 I had a BIN price pf $350 with 32GB SD Card. But that's gone with the first bid. 5 day auction so it won't be active until later this week.
