Samsung Galaxy Note coming to O2, Carphone Warehouse and Phones 4U 2nd of November - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General

http://recombu.com/news/samsung-gal...use-and-phones-4u-2nd-of-november_M15662.html
Good News
I have been waiting for ages and I am out of contract.

If it's only available on 02, this is awful news. I'll pop into CPW and Phones4U tomorrow, see if they'll be selling it on any other networks.

Ask about vodafone please

I really want it to be on T-Mobile.
The T-Mobile/Orange partnership is going well so far. Excellent customer service and website.
I really want to stay with them. Also my contract expired on the 14th October so I am hoping they can do me a deal.
If T-Mobile don't directly get it but phones4u/carphone warehouse offer the phone on T-Mobile...can I haggle with T-Mobile directly regarding price etc?
edit//
It's out tomorrow at carphone warehouse...

TMobile UK

Does anyone actually know what the state of play is with Tmobile and the X1?
I have read on another forum that people have been told in stores that they are going to stock it, but tmobile people on the Forum say they are not going to stock it at all.
Anyone got any clues on this?
I spoke with T mobile regards this, and was advised that they would be stocking the X1 but that it'd be in a few months. This is due to, and i quote, "all recent sony touch screen phones have been crap" - i.e they will be quality testing the **** out of it (Maybe rebranding it/the software) before considering selling it to the consumer.
As a result, when my contract is due in 10 days, I'm not renewing.
Thanks Naffets. I really want to stay with T-Mobile this year due to the good customer service/back-end systems they have. But at the end of the day the first network to stock the X1 gets my money

hmmm. nothing on their site. i had assumed that vodafone were going to be first.
if anyone finds out any more info, please update this thread ...
I've been told by Vodafone (UK) the 17th, but I had been told the 12th and before that the 6th....
k so i was wrong
very very wrong
Quite annoyed actually, my informant was wrong.
At this stage i'd pay a fortune for a retail x1 unit

I have rang o2 every day for the last two weeks. It was due in on 6th, then put back to wc 13th rang them today and they still have not recieved them yet. It is not their fault (aparantly) and they will be selling X1 as soon as it arrives which could be this week. If not wc 20th

Yay, one X1 ordered to arrive on Monday
spoke to t mobile on 23/10 - they wont even confirm if they will be doing it this year - and thats after i said i'd leave if they aren't doing it straight away - useless, really.
The touch pro aint even available with them, idiots.
Well, time to move to o2...

UK:
Carphone Warehouse dont know when it's going to be in. They advised next couple of weeks.
Vodaphone had a Dummy Unit and were to busy for me to ask if they had any in stock before I left.
O2 dont really have a clue, salesman looked a bit dumb founded when I said Xperia. He said SE are having quite a few releases in the next 2 weeks to a month, so come back then.
Just dont know which to go for, Omnia (Free on T-Mobile @ £30/m for 18 Months, 700 Mins Unlimited Texts) or Xperia (Free on O2 @ £30/m for 24 Months 600 Mins and Unlimited Texts) ...
Xperia felt a lot smaller than expected and I didn't see too many issues with the D-Pad, but then it was the Dummy Unit. Omnia was obviously thinner but felt like a boat width ways. Hmm ...
CPW already have the X1, as do mobiles.co.uk and Vodafone.
I have a Vodafone X1 but I'm using my Tmob sim as I have a better contract with Tmob.

Which CPW you on about then? My 2 Local places both Didn't have them and didn't know an exact date when they'll be in ... ?
And yes Mobiles.co.uk do, but tried to order today only to find them Out of Stock.
I'm curious about something.
From the looks of it T-mobile will not be carrying the X1 instores for a while.
But how are companies like Expansys able to offer it for free or at reduced prices with T-mobile contracts?
And are those models unlocked or T-mobile branded?
Just curious as I've already ordered mine from Clove unlocked, but wanted to know how this system works.

They sell the unbranded version which they have bought at wholesale prices. They also sell you an airtime contract, for which they receive a commission from the provider. They use this commission to subsidise the sales price of the handset.

Fair Enough. i figured it might be something like this but nice to see some confirmation.
Was thinking of getting it on a contract, before I realised that I'm going to be spending over 6 Months travelling and didn't want to pay the price of a new expensive contract ehn I'm not going to be able to use it.

In stock at Expansys

Website has just updated 100 in stock
Priced at £524.99 inc Vodka and Tonic

But i do understand what you mean.
It's in-stock on the UK website, but the USA website is awaiting shipment next week around the 12th or 13th from the UK wharehouse.
I pre-ordered mine from the USA website today.
Hi!
I telephoned Expansys at 2.30pm today, UK time, and they said NOT in stock, expected tomorrow.
So I bought from Clove, delivery tomorrow
Ofiaich
I would rather get it from CPW or Play.
Phoned CPW today whilst at work. They said it's not even loaded on their system.
Although it was obvious, when I raised the prospect of upgrading through them but them getting the Touch HD from their mobiles.co.uk partner, they said no.

Thanks for that as this saves me a call.
It's in their new catalogue for November, so hopefully soon.
I ordered mine from Clove, UK. I live in the US. They shipped mine yesterday and It already came to the US and got stuck in the Customs for clearance. I was hoping to get it today... But I guess I will not get it until Monday or Tuesday now....
I HATE this waiting... so close, yet not in hand.
I received a email comfirming from expansys that they have shipped my Touch HD, looking at the tracking status I will be receving this early morning tomorrow...... Man can't wait any longer it been month since I pre-order my touch HD
Too happy!!!
Did you guys notice?? Yesterday Expansys and a few more webstores upped the price of the HD!!! Bastards...
They did the same when the Touch Pro got out.
Need another source
Okay yesterday I attempted an order from Expansys. Now on the website it looked as if they had more then enough in stock. After placing my order and validating credit card shipping stuff, I found out from their customer service that most of the first shipment went to back orders. So now I'm stuck waiting for the next shipment which can be from Friday til another week or two.
So I ask....Where can I order this device from and plan to get it by this Saturday ... MN USA? Again, If I was to order it right now somewhere ... where would it be that will gurantee arrival before this weekend?
Please Help
Bump.........
Mine was suppose to be here today but Fedex decided not to honor the next day air I paid for. Should be here tomorrow

Pre-orders (UK)

Updates: Clove, Unlocked-mobiles, mobiles.co.uk have all started shipping orders. Handtec are expected to by the end of the week. Expansys have 14 in stock. Vodafone and Carphone Warehouse seem to have stock in stores.
Has anyone pre-ordered this phone yet? The prices for the 8gb model are currently:
play.com: £449.99 - due on 19/06
http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/...apixel-Touch-Screen-Mobile-Phone/Product.html

http://www.unlocked-mobiles.com/sim...s-sim-free-unlocked-mobile-phone-p-60773.html
expansys: £479.99 (408.50 ex VAT) - IN STOCK (31 as of now)

handtec also have the 16gb version for £528.74 (£449.99 ex VAT), but see below.

mobiles.co.uk: various deals with a Vodafone contract (usually ends up costing around £480-£600 over the length of the contract)
http://www.mobiles.co.uk/vodafone-samsung-galaxy-s.html
Thanks to Archius for the handtech and clove suggestions, and jasonfreeman27 for mobiles.co.uk
Archius also pointed out this US site:
auroracell: $500 no shipping date yet
http://www.auroracell.com/samsung-i9000-galaxy-s-8gb.html
It's a good price, but does not take account of shipping, and tax could be expensive. Bear these things in mind if you are going to buy from them.
On contract, Vodafone will have the 16gb model, and all these prices are for the 8gb (except expansys).
***UPDATED DATES AND EMAILS***
OK, dates have been changing like crazy, and I have tried to keep up. The latest info (as of Monday 14th):
-------------------------------------
Unlocked mobiles (email thanks to Ferdimage)
-------------------------------------
Dear Customer
Just to advise, all Samsung i9000 Galaxy S orders will begin shipping tomorrow. All pre-orders will be
fulfilled and shipped by close of day on Wednesday.
Our stock is the 8GB version. If you require additional memory, we have a high quality 8GB Sandisk
Micro SD available for 22.40 inc Vat (saving 10%).

Thank you all for your pre-order for the Samsung Galaxy S from Unlocked Mobiles.
Should you have any further questions please advise.
Regards
Unlocked Mobiles
-------------------------------------
Clove (emails thanks to Beards)
-------------------------------------
Part I:
We were told last week that the shipment would take place on the W/C 21st
Some distributors still believe they will get the shipment this week, but I think this is simply that the sales guys have not been updated.
I have a call in to Samsung to try and establish the exact date and whether any shipment will reach Carphone before the channel - I would be surprised
Lets await their reply later this morning.
Shipment delays on launch are always frustrating, but also very common.
However the more I see of the i9000 the more impressed I am!
Regards
Chris Love
Clove Technology
Part II:
I have just spoken to Samsung and they now do think they will get stock out later this week.
I have asked if all distribution will get stock (we have orders with all of them anyway!) and when the expect it actually to land in the warehouses.
They have confirmed that Carphone DO NOT yet have stock.

-------------------------------------
Thanks for your email,
With regards to [the 16gb version] we are still awaiting full confirmation of this however upon the release day we would contact you regarding this, you may wish to take an 8GB model with an 8GB card, or alternatively downgrade to a 8gb version?
Please advise,
Kind regards.
30/05: Just spotted this thread over at modaco: http://android.modaco.com/content/samsung-galaxy-s-s-modaco-com/309557/prices/ No new UK info, but it does have some German pricing.
31/05: Added auroracell and edited post to make it easier to read. Removed paragraph about why I am preordering.
09/06: edited all the new dates in
14/06: added all the emails
Thanks for unlocked-mobiles.com I haven't seen that website before. For international (canada) it's very cheap.
There is also clove.co.uk which has it for a good price.
I will be pre-ordering probably.. and most probably this week.
I will maybe use unlocked-mobiles to order, however I heard that Royal Mail is not the best service to use.
In my opinion the Galaxy i9000's ROM is nearly full featured. Root will definitely help but it seems already great, and it's one of the reasons I will be choosing this over other phones. Also the good large screen that is good against the sun's reflection.
Edit: Actually it seems complicated to order internationally with unlocked-mobiles. I'll stick to expansys.ca or clove.

Just to let you know that I have never used them before, so don't know how reliable/etc they are. As I say, I emailed them last night and they got back to me before noon today, so at least their customer service is pretty good.
For me it is easy to recommend Chris Love's Clove Technology.
I've known Chris for the best part of 20yrs and have never come across any other seller who is committed so highly to his customer base.
Clove are a reliable Family run business where they extend their family approach out to their customers.
They may not be the cheapest but you can guarantee if your phone develops a problem you can easily turn to Clove.
I heard also that Clove has great customer service and very reliable even for international shipping.
I've pre-ordered mine on www.mobiles.co.uk/vodafone-samsung-galaxy-s.html. Picked a £15 contract on Vodafone with £229 down payment. Unlocked of course. They are quoting stock for June 4th, as I ordered mine about 5 mins after they put up the pre-order I hope to be on the first batch

Awesome! I would love to get one as early as that! I have been waiting since it was announced, and I am so impatient...
I am put off Vodafone as their "unlimited" internet is 500mb/month, while t-mobile is 1gb (does anyone know if they will give 3gb if you tell them you are using an android device, even if they don't sell it to you? They have a 3gb allowance for android in their fair usage policy)
Do mobiles.co.uk sell unlocked phones? That would be neat, because I hate branding and the apps that the networks install. Hence why I am favouring unlocked (sim-free) phones now rather than waiting for the contracts to be announced.
Yep, all their mobiles are unbranded and unlocked. Am not too worried about the internet allowance, I tend to do the big stuff within WiFi range. But I think those caps will have to grow as more people start using android phones.
I'm so jealous right now even though i got a nexus one this phone is amazing i really hope T-mobile USA gets this.

I read somewhere that Samsung are releasing a T959-or similar which is a Galaxy S without the i9000 label. Usually the Samsung Txxx phones are T-mobile USA, apparently. So it's looking good for a T-mobile release over there.
Rumours are that all your 4 (?) major carriers are getting it. I hope something similar happens here: Nothing like good competition to bring prices down...

Strangely enough I contacted Chris Love of Clove only this morning to query the UK release, given what we heard yesterday at the Singapore Live Show where Singapore will be getting the phone first on the 5th June.
Chris came back to me and told me they had JUST received confirmation from Samsung tht a revised date is now as of and I quote from Chris ~ "We have now been given a shipment date of WK23 (W/C 7th June)".

Clove are now emailing all people who pre-ordered asking them to confirm they still want to go ahead.
All you need to do is either ring them or click on the email link they will send you.
Good news!
but is the price set yet ?
It's still on the estimated price, I believe.
It is set at £385 + VAT where applicable.
He did email me this morning from clove because I had asked a question and he said it is still an estimated price, because I wanted to pricematch with handtec since it is 20 less. I'll buy from handtec then since both will be sold during June 7 week and it is cheaper and offers fedex shipping 2-4 days (to canada)

Orders from O2

Thought I'd make a separate thread for o2 as finding information seems to take forever as posts are scattered about.
Pay as you go orders - From what I've heard so far everyone is still stuck on "in progress" (as am I) and delivery for pay as you go units arriving at the o2 warehouse are expected on tuesday (this information is from someone phoning up). There is no confirmation whether these will be locked/unlocked and whether they will be branded. Some people have phoned up and been told they will be but can't be sure until someone receives the phone as everyone's saying different things.
Pay Monthly Orders - I think most of these have gone through and some people are expecting to get their phone tomorrow? No no one knows for sure whether these will be locked/unlocked and whether they will be branded.
In Store - So far no store has sold these from what I've read and are expecting delivery either tuesday, some wednesday and some even later during the week.
Will update this post to reflect once users have received their phones whether they are branded and locked to o2.

I get this reply from them:
Hi Jon
Thanks for emailing us.
All our Pay & Go phones are locked to our network.
To get the Samsung Galaxy S II unlocked, you'll need to use it for 12
months on our network.
Once its unlocked you can use any other service providers sim and other
apps other than O2 apps in it.
Did you know about our O2 Money card services ? You just have to load
money on to this card and use it when required. To find out more about
this, click here:

If there's anything else I can help you with just let me know.

Thats what they have said all along . However they said exactly the same when i bought SGS 1 and that was unlocked .
jje
I hope it is unlocked but I don't think it will be @ £399. If it is not unlocked I will try mobileunlocked.co.uk and if no luck with them I will send it back and get SIM free for £499.
I ordered Friday morning over the phone from o2, my order is awaiting collection by DHL so im expecting the phone Wednesday
Good idea for a separate thread.
My PAYG order from Thursday evening is also still In Progress but my pay monthly order from Saturday morning was confirmed Sunday morning but is still awaiting collection so I don't expect it now until Wednesday.
I would also be interested to hear how long it has taken Quidco to track orders. My PAYG order was tracked in 36 hours but the pay monthly has still not been tracked after 54 hours. Hope I didn't muck it up as the pay monthly will be more expensive than the PAYG if I don't get the cashback. I won't be using the SIM.
Waiting for tomorrow to see if the o2 phones are locked or not.
Iv been told by o2 many times that all their phones are locked to o2 and have o2 software on them..
If thats not the case i will cancel my order @ carphone warehouse and buy one from there.
My contract order has been completed so expected Wednesday.
Going to get the unlock request off to O2 as soon as it arrives so my 3 sim will work
Sent from my LT15i using XDA Premium App
My O2 online contract order was placed yesterday (Sunday) and is now showing complete with tracking information. I'm expecting it to arrive on Wednesday since DHL haven't got it yet.
I was told it will be locked, but I can get it unlocked immediately by O2 for free since I'm on a 24-month contract.

I got my tracking information on thursday evening for a contract phone . DHL website hasn't been updated since then and states " Parcel data received awaiting coll." Has anyone elses tracking information say anything different?
I don't really care it's locked or unlocked, since I'm on giffgaff anyway, and you can use an giffgaff SIM in an O2 locked phone.
More of my concern is whether these will be branded? That would seriously put me off buying it Does anyone have any info about this?
Ordered Saturday night, still processing at the moment. Heard various days for stock, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday - but nothing so far.
Hopefully with tomorrow going back to normal in the UK something will actually happen.
Not concerned about lock/unlock as I'll be moving to GiffGaff and I doubt there'll be any branding as I've not seen branding on O2 phones in along time. If for some strange reason it is, it'll be going back!
Hopefully tomorrow brings better news and progress.

Any idea on how soon is "soon"? ... I'm waiting to get it from CPW but don't want to stump up the current £494.95 only to have them drop it a few days later.

Will an O2 store sell it pay as you go? If so, I'm off in there tomorrow.

They did do so at launch... but some people are reporting that O2 stores have been told by HO not to do so atm and it seems they've taken that option off their website now too. CPW has introduced Network Price Promise so they may price match but might not do so now/yet because of O2's apparent withdrawal of their 399 GBP payg deal...

Yes, I reported on the memo from HQ. Wasn't sure if it had expired yet or not...

Best buy, either lakeside thurrock or croydon have stock unlocked and price match like carphonewarehouse without the attitude
Sent from my GT-I9100
Just went to a few other forums and it seems like O2 stopped the PAYG deal on the 6-7th May and someone who called them today says they may start the deal up again when they get some more stock due 16th May...
Will this phone be for sale in Aberdeen as well?
What store? I will be in Aberdeen about few days, and leave again about 25. this month.
Is it possible to pre-buy, and pick it up at the store?
Any places that I could buy this phone?
I will arrive Aberdeen tomorrow morning and leave after 2 hour again.
Would like to "pay as go" or with free sim / no contract.
Thanks for any help
