WHITE NOTE DELAYED AGAIN - buy from ebay? - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General

It seems that handtec has posted yet another delay about the white galaxy note
Update : 28th November 2011
Samsung distibution has confimed delays on the release of the Samsung Galaxy Note White
The date has been removed and we are awaiting further info
This week we have received further shipments for the blue version
Would there be any issues with buying a white galaxy note from ebay or simplyelectronics as i'm getting bored of waiting now.
Will it have a foriegn firmware on it and suffer from having problems when upgrading the firmware? or is it simply the fact that it may come with a non european charger.
Many Thanks

Mine is from Hong Kong and it works great, no probs updating or anything. Find a reputable ebay dealer and get it.

Can't seem to find one on ebay - only willing to pay max 540 for it
Anyone else waiting on handtec and think that it is getting silly with these delays? - I NEED WHITE NOW!!!!

I'm waiting on Handtec too got this email form them tonight but won't hold my breath until the blog gets updated, I won't pre-order because they can just move the dates again.
Thanks for your email.
We are currently expecting stock of this item to arrive next week, however please do see the website for all updates.
Kind regards.

I'm glad o have already bought the Blue one. Cannot wait for it to cone

Super annoyed with Handtec. From what I hear they have great customer service, and so far I haven't heard any bad things from anyone about handtec. But my experience has been this:
- Show "Due in soon. Taking pre-orders." for a month even though it isn't "Due in soon."
- Post that the shipment is due in on the week of the 21st. (Suspiciously gaining pre-orders directly before black-friday), then don't actually get it in.
- When people ask for updates on the blog post, they have never responded. Wow, thanks a lot.
- When asked on Twitter, they responded that it will be in later.
- Even after all this, they still have "Due in soon. Taking pre-orders." and they haven't updated the blog post, nor tweeted anything publicly to help people.
- Interesting how they will most likely just end up getting it in sometime in December. When the rumored release will be.
So glad they're taking pre-orders. Thanks a lot handtec.

got my white note from http://myworld.ebay.ca/imobilephonex/?_trksid=p4340.l2559
came pretty quick, ordered late thurday (4am fri morning) and came tues around noon. expensive but hey, if you wanna be cool and have a white note itll cost ya

simplyelectronics.net/mainproduct.php?pid=15405
Although if you google simplyelectronics some of the reviews make me woried. Blatently Hong Kong imports rather than the European ones handtec and clove will be sourcing...
Anyone had any dealings with simplyelectronics

Once again I've tweeted them and still the next day... no response... thanks Handtec

I've just received an email from Clove to say that the rollout of the white note has been put back until early 2012

I also emailed SupereTrader and they said that they will arrive from the 6th to the 13th. So im hoping before the end of next week !
Was holding off with my order but have just ordered through clove.co.uk so hopefully will have my hands on this badboy next week!
Their website states the 11th Oct which is still better then Nov.
Yer im confused as to what to follow .... maybe 6th is the date but they are saying 11th just in case there is a lil delay
What difference does it make 6th or 11th life goes on, enjoy what you have and make a difference to someone.

I hope you do get it asap. But when I ordered the HTC HD2 from superetrader they advertised as in stock & immediate shipping 2 days before the actual release date. So I rang them & they said yep we have 3 in now for immediate shipping so I ordered & waited the next day & the next, so I rang them & they said that they hadn't had chance to pack it & post it. Another day went by & nothing, so i rang & same excuse.
3 days later when everyone else was shipping did I get mine.
I won't be using them again.
Hope u have no problems with them, I just don't believe a word they say.
Ahhhh shoot...!

Shame, but I still keep finding new fun things to do with my HTC Desire, so maybe a little longer before I send it off to a new owner isn't too bad...
...
Nope, not good enough. I wish my new phone would f**king hurry up and get here!
clove in the only one that set it to oc 6 ? i hope so...
I'm fine with 11. That would be next week.
I went into Carphone Warehouse and Phones4U in Aberdeen today and neither had a clue when it would be in stock. One salesman suggested the end of November.
I accept there will be a delay between online and retail but even that seems a bit much.
I'm pinning my hopes on orange as I'm due for an upgrade now-ish. Hopefully they'll get their collective arse in gear and stock the HD before too long. However I feel I'm going to be waiting longer than I want to

My HERO is serving well with Elelinux V1.9 but it is time upgrade. The phone is starting to age very rapidly and I think it's slowly dying I can wait until november but I hope it doesn't slip.

Changes on the Clove website

Clove have removed the expected delivery date for the Venue Pro and instead just have a means of registering your email address to be notified of when it becomes available.
They also seem to have removed all the specs.
This doesn't bode well - any thoughts?
Just spoke with Clove. It seems the availability of the phones is being delayed - 'possibly until next year'. Further info will be sent out by email, they tell me.
I'm starting to feel slightly better that I decided to go for HD7 in the end
Am wondering if it's worthwhile jumping ship to Expansys, they're cheaper anyway as the postage is free.
I like that Clove is accepting Paypal unlike Expansys... Still would be good to know if both are expecting a delay.
I called Expansys, they said they are expecting 250 Venue Pros on the 16th and currently there are 80 pre-orders, so there's going to be plenty of stock to go round.
I just cancelled my Clove order and ordered with Expansys instead, saving myself about £6 in postage into the bargain.
Expansys seemed a lot more confident of delivery than Clove.
News from Clove
Dear ...,
Thank you for ordering a Dell Venue Pro, it is appreciated.
We do today, however, have some important news. We have been informed that the
first stock of the Dell Venue Pro to arrive in the UK has been delayed until
January, due to a supply issue with components.
This is a problem that is plaguing many other manufacturers too, so Dell is not
alone. We appreciate it does not ease the situation, but reconfirms the issue
globally.
In addition there has been some confusion over the on board memory and microSD slot
on the Dell Venue Pro. Despite being told earlier that it will have a microSD slot,
it has been confirmed that the stock set to arrive in January will have NO microSD
slot, but will have 8GB of internal memory.
We are very frustrated by the delay and change in specification but pass this
information to you at the earliest opportunity.
Unless we hear otherwise from you, we shall now hold your order until the stock
arrives and ship it when it does become available.
We thank you for your custom and understanding.
The Clove Technology Sales Team.
That really sucks.
No such gloomy news from Expansys though, but then they are further up the pecking order than Clove...
Do we have any idea if Dell UK intends to sell it?

I talked to a Dell agent, they have no information. That's again ridiculous.
Also I asked if a US VP would work in the UK and they said I need to ask Dell US .
Well if we do have to wait until January, at least by then the Cut 'n' Paste update will already be out, possibly with a bunch of other updates and fixes. Which may save us a couple of months of pain.
I jsut got email from clove say fist shipment has been delayed until january.
Any news from expansys? They seem to be adamant on their shipment dates next week...
I emailed eXpansys, seems they're saying it'll be delayed too now.

I'm in the same shipping bracket (jan 15-22). It seems people with an expected shipping date of Jan 9 finally got their Adam shipped. So, we need to wait a couple of more days?
I'm the 15-22 also and have yet to get a shipping notice

Rohan just posted unboxing photos of Adam in his blog.
Adams were shipped in 2 steps - China to HK, and HK to India. So, there is 2 tracking numbers for each unit and the 1st one (China to HK) is not share with a customer. So, I expect those people in the pre-order 1 batch will receive the long waited tracking number soon.
Got the email with TNT tracking info today ;-)
Congratulation!
I hope they ship mine (Jan 15-22) before the Chinese New Year holiday.
9th Jan pre-order here and also got shipping confirmation today!

Mine, too. Jan9 to Jan15-22, now Jan 29. So, it's a shipment delayed, not pre-poned.
The February orders were preponed, ours were postponed. Possibly combining the February and late January orders
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
OK, time for me to post here, every post I have made on the NI blog is "awaiting moderation"
While it’s not life altering it is a bit disappointing that my shipment has been moved from the 22 to the 29th, but I’ll patiently wait. It’s looking like a pretty good piece of tech and I love my gadgets
There seems to be a lot of people on the NI blog who think this tablet is going to change their lives, I hope they are not disappointed when it arrives, after all, it is just a computer. Yeh, it’s definately the leader in its field at a great price… but it is still just a piece of tech.
My speculation for why there are delays is that NI are buying production time in a Chinese factory, so actual production days are out of their control. Surely if it was their own factory the production line would be running continuously and we wouldn’t have batch 1 / batch 2. Just my speculation and I have been wrong once once or twice in my life before.
Same here. None of my posts on the blog make it either. My last one was a my 2 cents, hurry up and wait being something im use too, just chill no need to stress since the lucky preorders while have their adams soon enough and will look back and maybe laugh. I'm just hoping it turns out all good and I will get a chance to order also. Its just tech, will all be looking for our next big toy after this one....still eye'ing a kinect.
Mine is at Lisbon at this moment, but according to TNT they cant release it yet, and only tomorrow ill be able to grab it, but since i got to work maybe only at night ill be able to post some videos of the unboxing.
24 Jan 2011 11:34:24 Lisbon Shipment Awaiting Physical Release From Customs Controlled Area.
Same here... originally the 9th. Pushed back to 15-22. Now it's showing the 29th.
It was pretty clever of Rohan to blog about orders being "pre-poned" when in reality this only applies to the February orders which was the smallest batch of the pre-orders. Based on Rohans comment in the latest blog post, it looks like the next largest number of people were in the 15-22 range and their orders have actually been delayed yet again. What a creative use of the press...

Is this website trusted? anybody get item from this web before?

I ordered one around 1am est the day of the sale and still no shipment. I hear this company can take up to 2 weeks to ship out a product. From what i hear the company takes orders first. Then they order the stock for the number of orders they had. It seems like they dont have the product on hand before they sell it which is a really bad practice. You cant really short sell in the retail industry.
If i dont get a shipping notofication by Wens i will be calling them. Ill update this thread if my Tab 10.1 ships.
I ordered one as well and no shipping information. Waiting till end of week before I contact them. Although they did charge my paypal account fast!

Yea that is kinda what pisses me off about this company. You are quick to take my money but you aren't quick to send the product. That to me is just foul. I already sent them an email asking about my purchase. I don't even know if i'm gonna get a cancelation because they are out of stock.
Aight. Let us know if you get a response.
In their defense they have a policy to ship within 6 business days. After today 9/20 its only been 4 business days. Which is why im gonna call on Fri if they dont ship.
On the BBB there arent too many complaints. Woot actually has a lower business rating than dailysteals. And ive yet to have a problem with woot. So idk
I get how slow shipment times can piss someone off. Im spoiled and have amazon prime so im used to recieving things a day after ordering
crossing my fingers
Sadly I didn't read that before i bought it. If i had i would've just bought one on ebay. I'm not too concerned with waiting but i'm more fearful of an email 6 days later saying oops we were out of stock when you ordered. That will piss me off to no end.

Well i bought it because the price was good. The wait isnt bad as long as it ships this week.
However in my excitement i went over to the tab 10.1 forum and i noticed that the 10.1 has a high percentage of users reporting newton rings. So now im a bit upset, with my luck the tab i get will have this problem.
I love my galaxy tab 7 i hope ill love this 10.1
really very cheap
Hi, new member today! I'm in the same boat in regards to patiently waiting for my 10.1 to ship from Daily Steals. When I ordered it, I completely missed the part where it said, "up to 6 business days before it ships". I had a refurb 32gb on order from Fry's but cancelled it when I saw this one.
I've called, emailed and chatted with Daily Steals and I've gotten the same canned response. As I explained to them, I can understand waiting 1-2 weeks for a $10 or $20 item but to go 5 or 6 days with no updates on a $350 tablet is inexcusable.
The other thing that would be helpful, is having a message board on their site like WOOT. This would alleviate a lot of anxiety when waiting.

Update. Live Chat is a complete waste of time with Daily Steals. The only thing they could/would tell me is that it would ship within a day or two.
Beach Camera via eBay had them for $299 this morning. Lasted only about an hour. Sold out fast........

I 100% agree. I would be ok if they were actually going to send me the tab lol. I'm expecting another Touchpad incident where i bought one and like 4 days later they send me a cancelation. Which made it much harder for me to buy one any place else. I've seen the Gtab 10.1 on ebay for 350 plenty of times so the deal wasn't amazing but it was something i didn't have to wait for.... So i believed lol.

London Galaxy Note Launch

Does anyone have any details about this launch which I understand takes place on the 27 Oct?
Go to Clove.co.uk
Check oit Clove.co.uk, they've been accepting pre-orders since 10/13/11. The buzz WAS it's release date would be November 1 - but it looks like they've done a 360 and are now stating it release could be 11/17 as originally announced.
I pre-ordered cuz of the earlier release date, they've already charged my card:, and now I don't know a damn thing!

It seems Clove is now saying that the release date is now "early-mid November" which is very disappointing. However, according to their Blog, anyone who accepted an invitation to confirm their order on the basis of a release date of 1 Nov can get a refund. If the original 17 Nov proves to be the actual release date then I'm not sure it is worth asking for a refund and risk not getting delivery on the 17 November or even before Xmas because you will have lost your place in the queue.

Do you think there is going to be a huge demand for this phone? I figured the price alone would hurt its sales. I haven't even put a pre-order in yet, as I figured places would have plenty of stock. What are people's thoughts on availability??
Hmmmm ........
I thought it was released already..... I know a couple ppl have them already wonder how they did that both in U K
Either way Looking to get one as soon as possible......
It's looking like mid November possibly later. Touch Wiz has to be able to handle Ice Cream (rumor.)
The release date still hasn't been confirmed. I have pre-ordered from expansys which says could be available on 28th. That's the next day of Samsung's 27th announcement.
Sent from my HD2 using XDA App
Third party vendors on the german amazon claim to already have it in stock. However my "original" amazon will be delivered in "1 to 3 weeks".

Do you think there is going to be a huge demand for this phone? I figured the price alone would hurt its sales. I haven't even put a pre-order in yet, as I figured places would have plenty of stock. What are people's thoughts on availability??

Hm, I was thinking that too - in about a month this device will sell at least 20% below release date prices. By that time there would be reliable root and a decent Touchwiz ROM. An AOSP ICS ROM will also likely appear before the end of November.
Problem is, demand is going to pick up with the Christmas shopping madness, so prices will not be dropping as fast in December.
I will probably get myself one of tthese Notes towards the end of Jan. - the usual retail capitulation time of year. Will not pay over 400 euro for a smartphone - even 400 is ridiculous.
By that time I guess it's going to be clear if you guys early adopters like it.
Here is a site giving more details of the London Launch.

I don't think the device will drop 20% in 2 month. I took a look at SGSII, the price is still high, dropped 100 EUR in a year. Note might not sell the same number of phones, so you might be right, but phones don't lose value until around 4-6 months.(Unless Samsung announce: NO ICS FOR NOTE ) aftar that you et it for free
Is it me or do amazon have it in stock already?

It is not being sold by Amazon UK, but by a third party dealer called Soteluk who are located in Germany and who are quoting a delivery date of 3-18 business days, so not necessarily an earlier delivery than UK based retailers such as Clove.
