For those of us in the states who are waiting to get one from overseas what is your impression of using this as a phone?

To be perfectly honest, it takes some getting used to. it feels a bit funny - holding it to the head as a phone and especially placing the earpiece on the earr with a BT headset its been great!

I use it when I need a big screen. I still carry my Note II as my main as I'm a heavy user. I download torrents of videos directly with my phone. The Note 8 can give me only up to 7.5 hours of normal screen usage per charge. This is during a 12 to 16 hour stretch for the day.
Note 8 works fine as a communications device under regular usage.

It seems weird.
The mic and speaker placements would seem to be further apart then your mouth and ear.
How was that? Got any pics?

It looks as if my Note 8.0 3G+WiFi Int'l N5100 should be shipped very soon from Negri Electronics here in the U.S.
My credit card company sends me email alerts every time there is a transaction over $300, and they just sent me a Transaction Alert for a charge from N.E. I have a preorder in for the Int'l Note 8.0 and IME, they only charge your credit card when they have stock in hand, so my fingers are crossed.

UPDATE on my purchase from Negri Electronics in the U.S.:
I received an email from Negri Electronics today with a FedEx Tracking Number for the Galaxy Note 8.0 3G+WiFi (GT-N5100).
However, it is being shipped directly from Hong Kong and not from the N.E. location in Las Vegas, so it will take a few more days to get here than I originally expected (Los Angeles area).
Other devices that I have purchased from them have shipped from the L.V. location so I didn't expect this when I placed my preorder. If I had known ahead of time, I might have ordered one from eBay seller 'never-msrp' in Houston, TX.
Either way I'm looking forward to getting it. I just wanted to let anyone else who has preordered from Negri, or is thinking about it, know what's up.

It's strange, since HongKong only sell GALAXY Note 8.0 LTE (N5120) which is still unavailable now.
After you received your N5100, could you check it "Made in Korea" or "Made in Vietnam" ?

Does it matter? Most probably it'll be the same as my unit in the Philippines - Made in Vietnam by Samsung" it says at the back in small print.
Is there a huge difference between the quality if the Note device is made in China or Vietnam? Is like everyone going nuts over Nokia units made in Finland over China in the height of its sales before.

I received my GT-N5100 (3G+Phone) on Tuesday afternoon May 14th. The 1st FedEx scan was Monday 5/13/2013 at 12:26 pm in Kowloon (HK Time), so very fast FREE shipping. They also included a free power plug adapter for the charger.
The back of my device says, "Made in Korea by Samsung".
So far I'm loving it. However, I was/am slightly disappointed because the back cover on my unit is also not seated or attached perfectly on the side between the microSD and micro-SIM card slots (perfectly centered along the side)...and this was right out of the sealed box. It's just the slightest bit of play/looseness/flex, but it's definitely noticeable, and disappointing.
I would be shocked if I received an Apple or HTC device like this, but unfortunately, it seems to be par for the course with Samsung. I'll always have some type of protective case on it, so I'm not terrible concerned, but Yeah, jus' sayin', Samsung, you need to step up your (build quality) game, or at least QC before these leave the factory.

Today is a very sad day!!

I droped my Galaxy tab and the screen is craked, however it is insured with Currys Knowhow they are not replacing it or going to fix it they gave me vouchers to the value of the product .
I went to my local Curry's to buy a new tab and was told that the original model the one that makes and receives calls has been discontinued. I am devastated I use my tab to make calls, for work, emails, diary, calender, to do, the alarm and so much more it has become part of my life. I like the tab because I only have to carry the one device. There is an alternative, I could buy the phone free model but I will still need a phone and I will be carrying two devices.
I've been told by Curry's that they will be stocking the Samsung 10" model but for me this model is to big. My question is will Samsung bring out another 7" model or is the 7" tablet dead?
So curry's are only stocking the P-1010 wifi model now? That sucks.
Have you tried carphonewarehouse? I saw some there last week, price unknown though.

How much are you getting for it?
You could get the new model, maybe an Asus Transformer and take it to CEX and trade for a Tab and you'd probably have a chunk of credit left over.
Noooooooo !!! I feel your pain. My Tab is like having an appendage. How about looking online for used ones?

I just ordered from Staples and will deliver tomorrow.
I don't know why bestbuy doesn't has it. I ordered the Tab at BB back in July as pre-order.
Yeah, Future Shop and Best Buy have screwed the pooch on this. I just bought mine yesterday from The Source. I hear Staples also has them (try calling them). I bought mine in store (guy had to bring it out from the back so make sure you ask). You can check in store availability online at thesource.ca.
Once the first delay happened I just crossed the border and bought mine in the U.S.
I'm glad I did.

Me too, especially since the 32Gb model isn't coming here at all, it seems. And they're all "Emasculating White" as well.
Picked mine up at Staples in Vancouver a week ago, super nice, feels awesome in-hand in portrait and landscape, already looking forward to next years quad-core and inevitably higher res model.

Too funny, I would have preferred a "Super Manly" coloured back panel as well, fortunately I'm always looking at the screen with it's dark and ominous background picture
I bought mine from Staples two days ago. I'm not using any case, and it feels great in hands. However I bought the Samsung Book case from the Source today. It's a nice case but too expensive ($65+tax). Going to a meeting next week, and don't want to walk around with a flashy GT without a case.
Mine just arrived yesterday, ordered from ncix.com on Wednesday.
Anyone else found we don't have access to the 3.2/Touchwiz UX update yet?
they are in canada. The odd thing though, they seem to be a lot different from the US model.
Also, they haven't appeared to have brought the 32gb version or the metallic grey.
I use mine in canada, but bought the 32gb grey model from best buy in the US so i could have faster updates and the US apps and what not.
Samsung Bookcase $54.99 TheSource !
The Samsung Bookcase for the GT 10.1 is on sale until August 31st at TheSource,. Check the back of this week's flyer )on-line flyer) as website is not showing the sale price.
Other accessories listed at the Source are mobile charger and home charge (also on sale).
Now Available Best Buy/Future Shop
Canada
Best Buy showing GT as available as of: Release Date:08/25/2011
Order Online:
Temporarily Out of Stock: usually ships in 6-7 business days. 94 units available for back order. Limited Quantities available.
Black model listed.
Future Shop showing as being available in-store (back order online)
If you want the white back then go to Staples or The Source (touchwiz installed).
At least the Source is carrying a case. What's missing though is the usb connection kit. I am hoping that shows up soon or I'll buy off ebay. Tigerdirect.ca was showing 32gb models in stock as a combo with the docking port for $680, but I was a bit skeptical. I asked their online sales guys and they confirmed it was in stock. I thought it was a mistake they posted this on their canadian website and sure enough, 2 days later there is no mention at all of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 on the Tigerdirect.ca website. I really like my Tablet, but I would rather spend $100 more and have double the storage capacity since the device is already 'expansion neutered'. The Canadian market is being manipulated for some reason, did other non-us regions get only 16gb as well? I was considering the Toshiba Thrive, but that tablet has bad screen ghosting like the Xoom. It's also kinda ugly... but then it has all the ports you could want... The bad thing about all these android tablets is the lack of accessories carried in the stores.. I mean, how can you launch the Galaxy Tab in Canada and stores like staples don't even have 1 accessory for it. They don't even have accessories for the Transformer (their stock case is horrible btw)....
Rob
How is text entry on forums like this one and redflagdeals with the 10.1?
I returned a transformer as it was rather poor thought I'd have to wait for Tegra 3?

These units should come with touchwiz already installed. Is 3.2 even available at all from Samsung?

After having checked, it does look like I have touchwiz, but not 3.2.
I have seen them at The Source in Square One mall in Mississauga. I was looking for the book case but they were sold out. The Best Buy's I've checked have the display material out but not the actual tabs, the salesguys all say it got delayed. Weird.

Supply seems to be rather limited at the moment. Both of the staples stores here in Regina only got 2 each. We have 4 Source stores and they seemed to only get 2 in each as well. I really like the tablet, but I'm still annoyed by the lack of accessories (no one has usb adapters) and not having the 32gb model available.

It's fine as long as you disable auto correction and auto completion in Swype. Also Swype seems to be more prone to sluggish text entry than the stock keyboard. And Google Instant Search appears to slow things down, so disable that.

Amazon or Expanys USA

Howdy,
I've finally aligned the stars and am ready to by the international note. Before I buy, I'd like to know how everyone feels about buying through Expanys USA vs. Amazon. I've used both companies before so I am very comfortable buying phones from them.
I just want to make sure that I get the version that has been updating the fastest. Not talking about ODIN, but software update to come to phone.
What versions are they selling - German, Hong Kong, etc?
Thanks!
You can probably get it for a bit cheaper off Amazon. If you're buying via Expansys make sure you look up for some discount vouchers. I bought my white international Galaxy Note from Expansys just 2 weeks ago and wow, next day shipping was AMAZING!
I got mine from expansys its German.

At this point just get it for the cheapest. If you choose amazon, make sure to check out the seller feedback. I personally went with expansys when it was first released.
Unless its under a certain price, i rather spend the extra for smooth transaction. Amazon is to much like ebay.
just wanted to vouch for global mobiles on amazon..i bought by note from them about 2 weeks ago ($30 more expensive then..=(), and they were fantastic. perfect condition German model,packed well, very attentive to detail.
also had 1-day shipping for 3.99 on prime..and it arrived less than 24 hours later!! =O
i just got mine last week from amazon...with 2 day shipping....super awesome service....my experience with amazon has been very excellent...no complaints so far.....i would suggest amazon

From a hardware standpoint, each version is exactly the same. The only real difference is the pre-loaded software/firmware. If you're planning to update via Kies, then it's probably best to flash a Euro firmware and take it from there. I know you mentioned that you don't want to deal with Odin, but honestly it's the best firmware solution for Samsung devices. It's really not that difficult either honestly.
Amazon, even if you have to pay taxes.
Amazon shopping
Got mine from Amazon. $608.99 sold by TRD Trading GMBH white unlocked. Ordered Thursday March 30 Amazon Prime plus $3.99 shipping upgrade I got it Friday. Came in Samsung sealed box. Shipper included a US plug adapter to work with the international Samsung charge adapter and a couple of printed notes for how to change the language at startup from German to English and to setup the APN to AT&T. Had to look in here though to get MMS working.
All in all I'm extremely happy and finally enjoying my Note this weekend.
I got mine in November thru Amazon and TechnoTradingHouse.
Excellent experience with them. Mine was slightly delayed (5 days) and they bent over backwards to keep me posted as the delay was out of their control (customs).

Thanks for the recommendation! I think I am going to go with Amazon due to nostock fees. I remember when I used Exp in the past, they tacked on a nice nostock fee with my return. Although, in the end they are excellent too

Wow. I'm soo sorry to hear of your bad experience. I guess this reinforces my first instinct to go with Amazon. I swear you can buy everything including your spouse on Amazon
There are so many sellers out there selling Note from different countries. Is the one from German is the best one?
I heard it's better to get the one from UK since:
a). They have good customer service and ACCEPT service request from out of UK
b). All the manuals are in English
So which country should I get the Note from? UK, Germany? ROM I can deal with, defective hardware.. well.. if it's not covered by Samsung in the origin country, I just lost $600!!
PS: Global Mobile in Amazon sells their Note from Germany

Sounds like user error to me. They only replace up to 30 days. Never had a issue with them. They actually contacted me to give me a full refund so I can take part of a 100 off promotion they did shortly after my purchase. You kept a sgs2 with a blemish longer then 2sec. Sounds like your fault.
Cant go wrong with expansys. Mine included overnight shipping for free on both devices.
Amazon is much better than Expanys anytime
I got mine from Amazon cos its cheaper
What are your guys thoughts in term of WARRANTY? I spoke with one of most popular seller in Amazon and they said the Note they're selling are Germany version and comes with 2 years warranty.
For warranty work, their approach is:
1). Send the phone back to THEM
2). They'll prep the phone to send it back to Samsung in <insert country here>
So the turnaround time could be in many weeks. I.e. ship to reseller --> reseller ship to Samsung outside of US --> Samsung fixed the phone --> Samsung ship to reseller --> reseller ship to customer.

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.

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

Where to buy Galaxy Tab A 8 (2019) with S Pen (SM-P200 or SM-P205)?

I am from the US and can't seem to find an online store that sells it. Is it possible to use the Asia or UK variant in the US? It's the perfect size for note taking at work and much more convenient with the built-in S Pen.

They also have the sm-p200 which I just ordered. Free shipping to US is hard to beat.
I believe they are in hong kong but the site is very US friendly with prices in dollars and they take paypal.
If you are asking about using cellular in the us I have not seen any reviews on that yet. The bands all look pretty familiar though.
I just went with wifi as I would rarely have a need for cellular on the tablet.

I would get the LTE version since I use it for work. I am concerned with the 4200 mAh battery. That's even less than the S10+ 5G in a much larger package.
I would happily pay $500 for this tablet:
8 inch & built-in S Pen
4:3 or 3:2 aspect ratio
SD835 or better
4GB of RAM
64GB of UFS2.1
Did you recieve your order yet? I ordered the tablet from this site like two wks ago and I still havent got it. They told me they ran out and will restock in 5days so after I emailed them again after 5days but its been delayed for another wk apparently. Im running out of patient/trust so Idk if i should cancel or not. This is the only site that has a good price w/free shipping though
No I cancelled. Can't stand sites that sell things they do not have. I don't think anybody has it right now.

I too placed an order with TobyDeals and have been waiting for 3 weeks. The buying options right now are limited. I haven't seen any listings on eBay, Amazon, or Alibaba. There should be greater availability in the coming months.
My reality is that I am desperate. I've been using a Samsung tablet as my primary phone for the past decade. I was quite happy with my 2015 Tab A 8" until it broke 18 months ago. I've been waiting for the updated version of this tablet for a long time. In the interim, I bought a Tab S3. It was too big to be my daily driver. So I bought a Note 9 and have been using it. But it's too small. I am looking forward to enjoying the new Tab A 8". I know its the perfect size for me.
Anybody received the order yet? I ordered Wifi version sm-p200 from Toby almost two wks ago and it's still in process.
They told me they will restock in 3days, I will wait till Thursday and will resend email.
I've got a similar experience so far.
I ordered from them last Wednesday (5/22). Sent an email (to [email protected]) last night requesting a status on the order.
Got an email reply early this morning stating that they are currently out of stock and "more stock to arrive in the next 3 working days".

You got it from Toby? My SM-P200 is on the way via DHL.
Does it look like brand new to you? (no sign of refurbished or any?)
Toby has the lowest price and it makes me worried.

Mine just came today. So far so good, only the camera is a little disappointing.

Mine just arrived too!
So that makes it 2 days after their email letting me know that it had been dispatched from their warehouse.
I'm at work right now, so I'll give it a closer inspection once I get home later.
I got mine through a seller on ebay. It seemed sketchy but after confirming his paypal email was correct and matched his little online shop I decided to give it a shot.
Took about a week from Israel, but it did hit new york during memorial day weekend so it sat there for 3 days.
He does have more if anyone wants to try (pm for his contact info), but toby deals is probably cheaper and faster IF they have stock.

So I ordered the SM-P200 from tobydealsau.com on May 22 and it arrived yesterday. Happy it did not take as long as others have reported -- I was a little nervous after I saw what others experienced.
It arrived well packed and the box was well sealed. As far as I can tell it looks brand new and genuine. The box was sealed and the serial numbers on the box and on the device matched.
It came with a European usb power supply, but included an adapter for US.
So far it is working as expected.

How's the performance? I do a lot of split screen with YouTube and Chrome. My concern is that the 3 GB of RAM is not sufficient.
Was looking at buying the 10.1, but it was just too big. Glad I didn't pull the trigger, I would MUCH prefer the 8.0 especially with s-pen. Any guesses if this comes to the US officially?

@KevinN206 I rarely do split screen on mine, so I really don't have any expectations as to the performance in that situation.
But comparing it to my older SM-T380, I can see a noticeable performance upgrade.
