I've been waiting for a UK supplier to order the 7.7 and I've decided to get the 16Gb WIFI model from Amazon for £477. I already own a Note and hope to get the ICS upgrade for it soon. I understand the ICS upgrade for the 7.7 is due in March so I'll be on a common OS when that happens. I look forward to using the Forum when my 7.7 arrives next Tuesday.
Hi can you send me the link for that as i can only find the wi-fi only one for that price - are you sure it's the 3G?
Thanks

No problem, here it is:

Sorry, I think you are right, it is WIFI only but that is OK for me as I will use my Note for calls and tethering
I can't wait any longer. I just ordered one from Ebay UK. 425 for the 3g. I know its a grey import most likley but for the money? Edit: Warranty info removed, the Samsung warranty website UK accepts registration but the actual warranty situation is unknown.
Let's hope I don't regret it!

Good luck with your Ebay purchase which is a very good price for 3g. You are unlikely to need to use the warranty for Samsung produces good quality devices. I am upgrading an original 7 inch Tab which has 3g but only used the 3g once in over 12 months to make a phone call. So it was not worth having a SIM card with a data plan or even PAYG as I use my home WIFI and when I'm away from home I'll use my Note.
Is a good price. I'm a bit impatient too. However, I just found out it takes about five days to get money from my bank into paypal to pay for it..........so I'll have to wait!
You also have to pay fee for crediting PP account. Check the charges. Normal funding method is direct debit so foc if purchase through Ebay etc.

Well, I have a cunning plan (may well back fire) I reckon dev support for 3g will likley be better and I wanted to try and go to ONE device. I could then sell my sgs2 to get either note or take the sting out of an sgs3 when the time comes? I very rarely use phone just for key holder thing at work, mainly SMS and email

My local store in Switzerland has the 16GB 3G version for 569CHF (£390, 470EUR, or $619) and the WiFi only version for 469CHF (£322, 388EUR or $510)... excellent prices!
Will go down and check one out soon I think.

Ordered mine from panamoz in Hk. 16GB 3g model for £430 including postage. Arrived three days after order and I'm very happy with it.
Sent from my GT-P6800 using XDA App
another one bought via Panamoz - wifi only for me. Loving it. Those Swiss prices are v. good indeed.
I got mine (hk grey import)a week ago and I love it to bits. Now using it as my one device and my galaxy SII is lying dormant in a drawer.I paid $720. A bit steep I know but hey, I'm an early adopter with disposable income
Figured I'd make this one stop thread for early adopters like myself wanting to get the device on launch date. Or even those who cant get it on launch date but to use as a future reference.
I'm in the US on ATT hoping to get it same day shipped on released.

For me personally it is also important to consider insurance. If I'm forking over 700 US$ I want to protect my investment
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium
Amazon has them but hardly ever at release date. MoCity usually have them but the price is normally more expensive from what I remembered. Clove normally had the best price.
But from my experience with clove and expansys, you have to pay upfront. But remember this for those in the USA, if you order from UK sites we don't pay vat and the total including shipping is cheaper than ordering from America.
With regards to insurance, never had a problem personally, but if I did samsung has warranty covering it.

I ordered by Galaxy Nexus through Handtec (handtec.co.uk) and had a good experience with them. If I do pull the trigger and order a GS3 then I will probably do it through them. Depending on price.
Expansys been taking pre orders for them.
Expansys UK
Expansys US
Negri Electronics
Carphone Warehouse
I always buy electronics from Negri. There probably the best customer service I've dealt with. It all comes down to personal preference with this type of stuff.

They only had the wifi version in white - couldn't resist so purchased although ideally wanted the 3g one with more storage.

Hey,
Just wondering was that amazon.com or .co.uk? I can't find it on the UK site - has anyone else found any UK online/highstreet stores with the note 10.1 in stock or for preorder? I'm after the grey 32gb.
Grey is not up yet.
Amazon is really stupid. You have to search through electronics and samsung.
Only the grey 16gb version is available and the white 16gb. Funnily the grey version now shows as unknowing date for delivery and stock. Only the white shows as in stock on the 1st of september.

It's 440 pounds (+ VAT for the EU), shipping first week of October. My phone should arrive by my birthday.

Looking to buy international, but not sure if it will work on AT&T USA and have 4G service working on it. I don't have LTE in my area so I don't care about that.

On the handtec website....it says it has 4G LTE but it is the N7100 model as well:
http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.ph...16gb--n7100--sim-free-unlocked--marble-white-
I'm a bit confused, I thought the new Note 2 has LTE support, which is something new!???
They must be wrong.
For what it's worth, PhoneArena said it has LTE support as well.
Not saying they're right, but who knows
I got an email back from clove this morning stating that the veraion they are stocking is 3g and not lte.
"As 4G / LTE has only begun trials in the UK very recently the version of the Note 2 we are receiving next week will not be LTE compatible. EE will probably have a locked down LTE version of the Note 2 at some point in the future, hopefully this year, which means a SIM free version may become available. If it does and we have access to it then we will place it for sale on the website

I pre-ordered mine from clove, but ended up actually buying one (well, ordering and paying for one) from , because of some issues paying for it on the website. Handtec have got the same dates listed, so it's just a case of waiting for it to arrive now.
Swyped from my finger to your face, on my Samsung Galaxy Note.
...Specifically Toronto GTA area people, where are you buying the NOTE 2? I well remembered last year when I purchased the NOTE from Handtec, I had to pay $100+ in duites.:crying: Trying to avoid that this time around.
Any sources?
I was thinking of it, but then I read that the international version isn't compatible with the LTE band on my carrier, Bell.

I will be getting one, was very close to ordering from handtec, but then i read ur comment, I think Coptech will be getting it next week, CanadaGsm doesnt have any pricing yet, expansys canada doesnt have it in stock yet, I not sure what will happen if I order from ebay.com, probably will be screwed with duties and taxes. I thought cell phones were duty free items, but I guess not.
I ordered mine from Clove in th UK.
Since Winnipeg sucks and we're never going to get LTE, I'm fine with the 3G only version.

Bell Canada is selling the original note for $729.95, which is only $10 less than the Note 2 at Expansys... I can't see the Note 2 selling for much less after launch. At best $699, but I think $750 is more realistic. So.... maybe expansys (or newegg) is the best bet for those who don't want to wait at least another month for the retail launch.
When I ordered the Galaxy Beam from Expansys uk last time, they cancelled my order and told me to order from the ca site. Never happened before. Eventually got it at Clove and probably will do again for the Note 2.
Doesn't matter to me if it there's no LTE as I wasn't going to put the sim in anyway.
I ordered the note 2 from Expansys on Wednesday and received it yesterday. Waited less than 24 hours.
