How soon should stores like Best Buy get a demo? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I would really like to demo this. Anyone work there?

Likely won't see any until sometime next month.

If it were anything like the S2 or S3, my pre-order was the first device though their door; I don't believe that they give out demo units before the phone arrives. It's up to the store to yank a device from stock to put on display.

I've seen demo (Fake phones) Come in before a release.

Samsung sends out test phones to fix most tweaks and bugs. Once they have a stable product, they release it .

(HC 3.2 tegra 2, 1 gb ram, 7 inch tab) Acer iconia A100 at 189 on black friday

Guys this 7 inch tab is the bomb. I have no idea why the dev section is so dead. Acer promised ICS official release on January as well.
Only downside is 3000mah battery which leads to around 5 hours usage.
1 gb ram, dual core tegra2, name it this tab has it. So if you are looking for something other than a nook color at value price this is it. all we need on this is dev community! (For instance I'd love cm7/miui option on it haha)
It is going to be available on bestbuy on black Friday. To all devs out there- BUY IT! lol
Also if anyone could be kind enough to pick one of these when they are picking one up for themselves and are willing to ship one to UK ill give you a big hug lol. Will pay obviously for the tab and shipping and a tenner as a thank you!

They have batch 1 still which had more faulty products+this time they are selling from their own website which means that nobody can force them to refund u in case item is faulty.+they say all sales are final which means no returns are accepted. And if I am not mistaken their shipment takes 2 or more weeks to arrive and by that time I think price might have lowered even more. So yeah buy at your own risk.

I'm going to do the same thing I do with all of my other phones...use it . As far as making reach its full potential, I'm waiting for a bad ass custom ROM to surface. Once the boards are riddled with new ROMs that really push this hardware, thats when my fun really begins. For now, I'm going to run stock for a couple months to give the development community some time to cook up some awesomeness.

I really like JBs new style, and Google Now looks great. If there is a nexus device based on this hardware that would make an almost native porting environment I would be crazy happy!! A guy can dream can't he?
I would have bought a GNex but this hardware is just in another league,

What case are you planning on buying? My sister wants to put on a cell phone charm as well, but the only cases that have a cutout for the lanyard are Samsung cases that we've found so far.
Actually...I liked "Take over the world"
Buying more accessories for it than I need. Cables, cases, batteries, chargers, screen protectors, etc... till I figure out which ones I like best and use most often, then the rest will stay in a box as spares.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 Overview video

I just found this video on youtube. 10 minutes of delicious Note 10.1 information.
Overview video
Enjoy!
Edit: up to 13 hours of battery life!
Cool, the headphone jack also doubles as a line in jack. Might come in handy.
Release it already ..
Oooooooooh!!
Aaaaaaaaaaah!!!
I take it that all that was discussed in the video will pretty much be a summary of the details Samsung will announce tomorrow at the event in NY they're having. Cool find!

The BB near me also has a big stack of them. The current price for the skew is $10,000! That's how they're preventing early sales the manager said... He said check back Thursday, that's when he thought they'd be for sale. No price until then...
Official pricing for U.S wifi is $499 for 16 GB and $549 for 32 GB. Also says on BB website.

I paid £600 exactly in UK and it came with an hbh20 BT headset. Think there's a few more weeks til it's stateside, heard rumours about 11th October... They didn't officially announce it here at all, just turned up in stock on 11th and luckily I was keeping an eye out. Awesome phone, man, just awesome, hope you get yours soon, be good to have you on their forum.
The 6802 is available I think which is the 3g version.

It will. It supports AT&T and T-Mobile's networks if I'm not mistaken. There's a discussion going on regarding this in the Ultra section (general). I'm on mobile, so links are a *****

Portability is better than I expected... It fits fine in trouser pockets. Very nice phone. Best to see it up close as it is a shock first time seeing it.
