[UPDATE]my best buy said the 32gb Galaxy note 10.1 was deleted from system. no 32gb

So I've debating switching up to the 32gb version. When I got my note, they only had 16gb in stock. They said to check on Tues. And Thurs as that's when they get in new shipments. So I called today to see if 32gb came in yet. The girl checks her computer and she tells me the 32gb version has actually been deleted from their system. Meaning they will not carry it. I guess they will only carry 16gb version.
Has anyone actually purchased a 32gb from Bestbuy? Or has anyone heard anything like I described? Strange that it would be deleted since its so new. I'm skeptical that she is correct. If she is right, I now have to decide whether I keep the 16gb version or go get my money back. Then find another brick & mortar store that sells the 32gb. I like BB return policy though. Which states I have 30 days to exchange or get a refund if I wish. I paid in cash so I'd want a cash refund. Store credit wouldn't be any good if they never plan to carry 32gb.
What other B&M stores are carrying the 32gb note 10.1?
8/24 UPDATE:
Well I came to the conclusion that 16gb wasn't enough. So I just returned my 16gb to best buy and had them order me the 32gb version. Its deep gray. I really wish they had the white one in that size. They only had gray. The difference I had to pay for uprade in storage space was $52. It will arrive by 8/30 to that best buy location. Didn't want to take any chances having it delivered to my residence and the delivery people leave it sitting outside my door..lol
I got tired of seeing my storage space decrease fast and I haven't even really begun to install everything I want. Games take up the most room. Nova3 alone is almost 2gb. I have alot of great games THST I paid for already that I want to install. Like Broken Sword for example. So me getting 32gb will give me more than enough room to store my games and movies I download. I can easily fill up the 32gb also but at least I have more to work with initially. 16gb out the box equates to only 11gb storage left to use. Didn't want to have to resort to deleting stuff constantly to make room. Then I eventually want to root and flash device. So the backup will take some space also. I'm managing my 16gb Nexus 7 well but I don't need so much installed on it. As its my more portable device and only needs the best and essential apps.
Well my wait begins. I'm posting this from my Nexus 7. I miss the Note 10.1 already lol. I'm ready for 8/30 to hurry up and get here. It'll be here either next wed. Or before. Plenty of time to keep reading up on things and to find a good case.

So does this mean you are giving up on the infinity? Not trying to be a ball buster, actually value your opinion. You have been ASUS biggest supporter when they needed one and now it looks like you are going to the dark side ( or the bright side depending on how you look at it). I trully cannot decide if I should keep my infinity or not. I have definitively said I was keeping the infinity twice and everyday I wonder if I am doing the right thing, especially as I hear how JB is just a big a mess on the 300t as all the prime issues.
So, what is your call? Is the Note the way to go and does the screen resolution really make a difference?

Why pay 50 bucks more for a 32 when you can buy a 32 GB sdcard for under 50 bucks and have 48?

Because you can't store installed app data on sdcard anymore. On older android versions you could but no longer. So it's not like if I have 0 internal memory left and 32gb SD card, I'd be able to install a 1gb+ game. It won't let you install it into microsd card. So once you run out of internal memory on tablet, you can no longer install apps and games unless you delete other stuff you have on internal memory.
I know I can store my movies and such on memory card, but I cant install new apps and games on tablet once internal memory is used. It won't matter if i have 32gb sdcaRd :

They won't sell the 32GB instores for some reason, only the 16GB. You can purchase it from their website. Yeah I know, its not the same, and not ideal.
Here is a list of retail outlets that Samsung said was going to carry it the 10.1.

I ordered a 32GB from Best Buy online. They charged me the correct amount and it should be here tomorrow. I just checked and they are sold out of the 32GB online. Not sure if it is gone for good though.

.I'M in the testing phase of this tablet ATM. I was impressed by the pen feature plus wanted to see exynos 4 quad core performs. As it's CPU and gpu is more powerful than tegra3. Tegra3 still a great Social btw so I already know how the infinity would be. Basically a more powerful prime with 1080P screen. So I said why not test out the note first. Since I bought it from BB, I have 30 days to try it out. If I DONT like it I can always get a refund or exchange for infinity pad.
As for which I would recommend, that's depends on what matters most to you. If you bought your infinity from BB, try out the Note 10.1. If you don't like it, take it back and get another infinity. I do know jb is coming for infinity. I would pay those threads much mind on how its performing on the 300. I'm sure jb is performing much better than previous ICS version. As jb on my nexus 7 is flawless. Which also is a tegra3 tablet. I have seen the threads on different issues with infinity like the I/o. Although update improved it.it didn't completely solve it. I can only go off what I read on their forums since I don't own an infinity. Or at least, possibly, not yet
How is your device performing? If it performs fine, you just may be suffering from wanting the newest latest tech..lol. if you having issues, give the Note 10.1 a try. IVE been very impressed with its build, performance,and display. No complaints and not a single ANR since I had it. This processor is very fast and battery life is great on this. This device will get better battery life than infinity pad. Based on what I read people reporting on infinity battery life. As for will the display resolution difference be a factor, I doubt it. Although this has the same resolution as prime, this tablet display looks slot better. The color reproduction and other stuff looks so much better. So for me, it looks good enough. It's a great display and makes the games look better. I noticed the difference playing nova3. The images and everything pop out more. It is a 720P display. Which is HD. Just not full HD(1080P). I've seen alot of people here saying they exchanged their infinity pad and ipad3 for this device and hardly notice difference in resolution. They were impressed with display.
I still support Asus as my experience with them was good. Which is why I bought a Google/Asus Nexus 7. Very impressive device also. So just because I have a note 10.1, doesn't mean I switched sides. Just testing the waters. Plus I always heard Samsung being thrown around as good quality. So I wanted to see for myself how it performs. Which admittedly, performs very well. Exceeds my expectations on it so far. I forgot to add, this tablet has the best stereo speakers on any tablet. Sound is amazing on this. True stereo separation, bigger speakers,and Wolfson audio equate to very rich, loud, and impressive sound coming from this tablet.
Final verdict: try it out. If you don't like it or not impressed, just return it and get another infinity pad. Nothing wrong with testing out other devices.

Thanks.very strange why they won't sell those in stores. Ill see how my memory goes during this 30 day refund period. I have alot of games previously purchased THST I'd love to install and try out on this display with stereo speakers. These more intense games now take up to 1-2gb of storage space. So it'll take no time to Max out 16gb. I remwber I was running low on space with my 32gb prime..lol. some games I can't install on this because they are tegra3 games.
Out of the box, a 16gb note 10.1 only has 11gb of free storage left. Even now I only have 7-8gb free storage left. I haven't even scratched the surface of all the apps n games I want to install on here...lmao.
Thanks again for the list.

Good to know. Thanks. Can I get the best buy store to order it from their online site for me, if online shows it in stock? Like if they don't have it in store, they can order it from their online store instead.
Edit: they still sold out online and shows not available for store pickup. Well I have 20 something days to decide if ill need more internal space(for games & apps) or not.

I got my 32 at Fry's yesterday. Only a 15 day return policy, though.

I just walked out of BB and they told me I could have the 32 in 3/5days
If I trade my 16 in on a 32 it will be the fifth different Tab I walked out of BB in three weeks.
I love that place

Yeah, online is sold out right now. Plus it seems only the dark grey is in 32gb. I'd love to switch up to a white 32gb. The white looks very nice.

The way it seems is that they only made 32 gb grey. I didn't see the white anywhere.
Try using

Exact note page is

That site is great for tracking when it comes in stock and you can set up email/mobile alerts. This is how I ordered mine on day one.

Good to know... I'm loving my note but thinking of returning it for the 32GB version. BB website doesn't say back-ordered, it says sold out. I'm wondering if maybe they won't get it back online again??? I'd prefer getting it at BB because of the service/return policy and proximity of the store to me, but if they don't carry it Fry's will get the sale.

Wow, just checked Fry's return policy. It's changed, and not or the better:
10. Unless defective, a 15% restocking fee will be charged for all returned opened GPS/Navigation units, network-attached storage, projectors, cameras, camcorders, notebooks, netbooks, tablets and iPads, desktops, monitors, MP3 players and iPods, and Apple TVs. 11. Physical damage to motherboards or remote control aircraft being returned voids any return / exchange privileges

Now that sucks..lol.

I'm considering returning my 16gb Note for a 32gb one as well. Same concerns about the app data. I draw a lot and could see how I might run out of space if I'm not careful. Also, this Note I have seems perfect so I'm doubtful of getting another great one

Best buy online has them in stock again.

Op updated. Best buy has 32gb available online again. Better hurt up if you want one. They sell out fast. Check OP.

How come the n10 never hit retail stores in Canada?

I was happy and surprised when the n7 came to canada at the same time as the US, (well I think a week later) when usually we may get a product at a much later date, so I thought the same thing would happen with the nexus 10, but it never did. It's still not on sale in retail store here and I assume never will be. Yes, samsung made this and not asus, but other samsung products are sold here, so why not this?
I kind of get the impression that the n10 didn't hit that many retail stores in the US either, but I could be wrong.

Staples and Walmart as far as I know are the only two retail stores in the USA . And only the 32gb at 499
Got mine at Walmart yaaay no shipping lol

Samsclub also has it but that's owned by the same person as Walmart. I got mime from there
Sent from my Xperia Play (r800x)

Ok so it seems it was a very limited release in the US and not at all in Canadian retail. Why was that?
It seems like they had a huge retail success with the N7 and the 10 inch was a very competitively priced tablet for the hardware you were getting and seemed poised to be another big success, so it seems weird to me to barely give it a push distributing it in such few retail markets.
Especially when considering the rest of samsung's line is available here in retail.

I think it's because Google started selling it directly from thheir play store you can order one from there. They have international shipping
Sent from my Xperia Play (r800x)

Well, yeah I know you can buy it online, even in canada, and although online shopping is growing, retail is still a huge market.
And they had online shopping with the nexus 7 as well, but of course also decided on retail distribution. I'll be surprised when the nexus 7 successor is announced if it is online only.
I had a couple of friends who wanted to buy a n10 for christmas and asked me and I said yeah it's online only and they instead went with something else.
I still like to buy retail cause if there's any issues I can go right back to the store for a replacement. Say I had an issue with my n7, then I have to mail it back and be without it for a week or whatever if I bought a dud?
As I said you can buy samsung's other tablet products retail, and google's other offerings retail as well, except the n10.
Well I thought it was an exception and there was a reason why, but I hope it's not a sign of things to come.

Best deal on HD+ or wait till Black Friday

I have gone from Nook Color to Nook Tablet and now want the larger screen of the HD+. My previous devices have all been refurbs directly through the B&N ebay site and have never had a problem. It seems like most of the local stores don't seem to have the HD+ in stock any more so I'm wondering if there are going to be any good deals for a brand new unit for Black Friday. Should I just go with one of the ebay sites selling refurbs for around $115 now, or wait to see if I can get a new one during Black Friday? Does anyone know if B&N ever sells the refurbs any more or do they just have other sites doing it now? I felt a lot better getting it directly through them before.

You can do what I did- Staples lowered the 16 gig price to 129; I called them up about 3-4 time till one of their customer service reps applied a $20 off coupon manually (it technically probably shouldn't have been applied). Got my brand new 16gb for $117 including tax and shipping. Having a little trouble getting it to run as smooth as I like, but once I work all the little kinks out I believe it will be one of the best deals I've ever gotten. I wanted to try waiting till black Friday, but I figured a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Good luck!!

Staples does not have them available online and there are no staples in St. Louis (or nearby) for some stupid reason. Best Buy seems to be out of the 16GB. B&N retail stores have them, but I doubt they would price match Staples since they are not available. I just ordered some screen protectors so that when I do order one, I can stick one as soon as I open it. Hopefully the Black Friday ads start showing up so I can see if there is going to be any deals. I'm almost ready to just pull the trigger on one of the Ebay refurbs.

Ahh that sucks they dont have them anymore. Wish this thread would have been up even two days earlier, just friday I sent back a $99 refurb That I had ordered right before I had caught the staples deal.
But either way, depending on what your using it for, this can be a great tablet. Even though its a little older and not pushing as many pixels, I have found that my touchpad was running a little bit smoother than this. But I think as more builds come out, and people keep tweaking etc. this is going to be a really really solid tablet.:laugh:

Has anyone else seen any good deals on a new HD+ from a local store (B&N, Bestbuy, Target, Walmart, etc)? I'm hoping I'll be able to order one online through one of these sites on Thanksgiving day (or earlier). I won't be able to go out in all the Black Friday madness.

Only thing I would suggest is to watch those deal sites such as Bens bargains for deals or try craigslist. Good luck.

They come and go at that price. I bought one from beststopdeals for $99 ten days ago. They are higher now.
I would not expect Black Friday to feature any Nooks at fire sale prices. Black Friday specials feature second and third tier merchandise at ridiculous prices, not "pre-owned" skus that have been on clearance for months. Maybe someone (probably B&N) will be selling new units for $129 (again).
Here's how I get the best prices if I'm willing to be patient:
1) set up a search with email notification at stuffalert.com. This free site only searches *bay but you can specify the country, buying format and price, etc.
2) set up an alert at slickdeals.net. I often find very good prices at big box stores like Kmart and Walmart where I don't usually shop.
Good luck.

I'll check a couple of local OfficeMax's and see if they have any. Too bad you can't check online. I might be willing to go $129 for a new one.

Right now a local Staples is holding a Nook HD+ for $130 for me. While the local GameStop is selling off the Nexus 7 2012 version for $99. I am unsure which one to get. I talked to the Staples store and they will price match the Nexus 7 from GameStop I know this is a Nook forum but which would you recommend. I like the bigger screen, but am worried about being able to upgrade to KitKat like the Nexus products will be able to do.

I ended up buying a refurb one on Ebay for $115, it arrives tomorrow. I was just out shopping and looked around in sears and they had a new one for $129. Wish I would have stopped by there last week. Their online price shows as $149 and it also says they didn't have them at my local store. If you are interested in a new one, it might be worth stopping by your local Sears to see if they have any for $129.

I just bought a 32gb this morning from staples with a $50 off coupon and the amex $25 off $75. Came out to $115 so I'm really excited! I saw one of them on display at target and thought they look great! I was ready to get one from ebay refurbished too so am really glad I didnt. The 7 inch tablets are too small (have 1st gen kindle) and tried an Asus 10 inches that was too big so this is middle ground.

target nook hd 79 on black fri but go to your local walmart they will price match and you will not have to wait in line at target also you can buy the warranty at walmart and they will give you a gift card if it breaks not you having to send it in and them fix it. its a gift card for the full purchase price and the warranty is 2 years for 9 dollars well worth it. already had to use it once

Nexus 9 Hong Kong Play Store

I have not seen this thread yet so I have been calculating how long it was for the nexus 6 to appear on the Hong Kong play store. It seems that Nexus 9 is out on the Hong Kong Play Store. Only grey color and only in Wifi so far. Also only delivers in 3 weeks. HKD 3088 for the 16gb and HKD3688 for the 32gb. Anyone already ordered one?
Personally I am thinking of waiting for the gold one, also for the keyboard to come out. Although Google has not always been that great with accessories and their availability.

Keyboard is ridiculous price! Cheaper alternative for me!

Can't believe it's so cheap in HK!
Man, tempted to go to HK for a holiday now and buy a Nexus 9. My gf would love to go back sometime. We lived there for a year 2012/2013. Plus UK plug heads etc.

The prices at different regions depend on the tax (at least part of the price). If I remember correctly the tax price of tech product in HK is not that high comparining to Europe.
PS. I also ordered mine from HK play store

How much is shipping from the HK Google Play store? I'll be travelling to HK soon and am thinking of getting one whilst I'm there.

Hong Kong really cheap

The term "cheap" should depends on the average income for people in that region

So, up until yesterday, the Play store was showing shipping as 2-3 weeks. This has now been updated as showing "Leaves warehouse by November 5".
Also, should add, no sales tax in HK, which is sometimes why things are a bit cheaper here sometimes (but we do have lots of unofficial hidden taxes which sometimes result in things being more expensive here compared to other parts of the world).

I have not been able to see the white one, must be different for everyone. I think you can RMA with google play store in case of QA problems. It is tempting to be one of the first to use the Nexus 9 tho.

i am heading to HK on holiday on Nov 14, any kind friends from HK can advise me when is the rough date to order the nexus 9 so it can reach my hotel say between 16-18 nov? Also, is there any post office or service address where i can have it ship to so i can self collect while they safe keep for me? i would prefer the latter though. thanks!
Also, would you ahve any idea of trusted and reputable retail shops in HK to purchase the nexus 9?

The official claim from Google is 2-5 business day for delivery after the product has left the warehouse and the warehouse for Hong Kong market is located in Singapore.
Most of the big stores in Hong Kong are trustworthy, but you can expect they might sell it a little bit higher than Play store

Waiting for LTE 32GB to be available.

I have not seen this thread yet so I have been calculating how long it was for the nexus 6 to appear on the Hong Kong play store. It seems that Nexus 9 is out on the Hong Kong Play Store. Only grey color and only in Wifi so far. Also only delivers in 3 weeks. HKD 3088 for the 16gb and HKD3688 for the 32gb. Anyone already ordered one?
Personally I am thinking of waiting for the gold one, also for the keyboard to come out. Although Google has not always been that great with accessories and their availability.

I do not have much color requirements

Neither do I really, but my wife HATES gold stuff and it might be fun to piss her off

Never piss off wife. You always have to pay that too with interest.

Now showing as delivery within 1-2 business days. Did anyone decide to get?
Seems the reviews have not been the most favourable.
I am debating whether to hold out until seeing how Lollipop performs on my N7 before committing to the N9.

Motorola Moto G 2015 under review on Amazon

I was about to order one from Amazon when I saw this. It seems to only apply to the white edition. I wonder if they are sending out the wrong version or something. I can't post the link because I am a new user but you can go see for yourself at the US website.
"Item Under Review
While this item is available from other marketplace sellers on this page, it is not currently offered by Amazon.com because customers have told us there may be something wrong with our inventory of the item, the way we are shipping it, or the way it's described here. (Thanks for the tip!)
We're working to fix the problem as quickly as possible."

What exactly is going on there? Sorry I don't know how it is meant to look.

Well basically short its got the 8gb sticker which freak me out cause I order the 16gb, until I check the settings. On amazon in reviews I heard that they were doing that but people were getting 8gb model but ordered 16gb. Even one guy said he bought a 8gb and got a 16gb so win win for him lol

I see, that is probably happening all over then as it's a mistake from the factory.

Probably a vendor bait 'n switch. I usually get my phones from carrier because I'm able to spend a whole lot less on acquiring phones & due to lucrative reasons...I get early buy-outs credited to the account, get the gift cards upon doing a hardware upgrade, giving me money to spend on groceries or electronics, etc. Which off-sets other expenses such as buying sim-unlock codes for the devices. Got my moto g 3rd gen osprey from carrier that way. But I bought a phone off of amazon once, and I doubt I'd be doing it again. Ordered the galaxy note 4, model sm-n910c (marketed for Thailand). Vendor shipped an sm-n910u (marketed for Hong Kong & a few other places), which the same vendor was selling for $100 less. The sm-n910u was selling for an extra $150 less by another vendor. The vendor never redeemed himself, so I asked him to swap the phone for an sm-n910c or price-match the cheapest vendor on the sm-n910u. He said he could either give us his price on the sm-n910u, or refund the phone. We returned the phone, he then said it was not in new condition, therefore he'd charge a 75% restocking fee. We opened a case with amazon and got a full refund.
I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of bait 'n switch on buying phones from amazon, so I'd recommend to triple-check phones upon receiving them when ordered via amazon. If it's within the 30 days of purchase and it's the wrong product, send it back, and if the vendor gives drama, open a case. Don't settle for less!
