Basically I decided I want to buy a Note 3, and I found the n9005 model, which I have been told is the higher end model at a great price, http://www.ebay.com/itm/121261259249?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 maybe too goo to be true. Does this look suspicious to anyone else? It says its even unlocked and new. How come other phones are priced for close to $700 but this seller is selling them for a flat $500. Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, Im just eager to get one so I was planning on ordering one asasp.
Idk but if you look up on amazon.de you get a note for 515 euros, samsing phones drop fast in price.
Also if you buy soom you can get the "samsung new your bonus"

Region lock probably not, however band/frequency issues yes. @PatienceWithin bought an N9005 abd it wouldn't run ATT's 4G network so he had to sell and buy an N900A in the end.
Just make sure if you get the N9005 you can run it on your network.

At the current exchange rate 515 euros is $700, T-mo has them for $708 and had discounts for more than $50 before, so that Amazon.de price is nothing special, compared to US. But as others said frequency differences are more of a headache than it's worth it even if that price was much lower, which it isn't.
BTW how come your e-bay listing is gone? Too good to be true?

A few questions;
I'm in the United States and looking to pickup a Galaxy Note. What are some things I should consider when purchasing in regards to Warranty coverage i.e. must I buy from an "Authorized" samsung vendor?
Anyone with a International version in the US that has send their phone out for warranty repair? if so, how was the process...
... and on a side note.. (no pun intended) whats the CHEAPEST place right now to purchase a white note
All of them should come with a 2yr warranty directly from Samsung but you have to send it in yourself...I hear Expansys USA will do this for you but I also hear they have issues actually replying to emails of customers.
Oh cool! I thought the warranty was only 1 year. I'm debating if I should go with the att branded note or dish out the cash for an intl version.
I love my gsii exynos

I went with the inter.. note mainly because of the hardware/home button/ and being able to go prepaid and save money in the long run.
Thanks for the input... yeah I currently have a international gsii and love the physical button.
Just debating now where to buy....
Where's the cheapest place currently? Handtec pricing confuses me due to the vat and non vat pricing

Hello,
Is there any link apart from amazon.com (US) and canada to pre order the OCTA version that we all want ?
I can't consider buying any other version since it's the one and only GS4 samsung advertised and the only one I could consider spend money on, the flagship GS4
I hope we will find a retailer in europe, they must have one in whole europe :highfive:
Found one link but for morocco :s
http://translate.google.fr/translat...e-offert.html#product36416&act=url&authuser=0
A shame that africa can benefit from the best variant of the GS4 but not europe !
any news on this?
It is now available on ebay, but would prefer some store, with invoice so I could activate warranty if needed

Nice find but that price it's a joke.
Do you guys think the Note 3 is worth getting at $725? I don't have an upgrade, but am really want to get the Note 3..
That's a super hefty price for just a phone! I don't think it's worth it. Maybe at $500? I'd take it.
lol
This phone costs 1000 usd in norway and im still getting it ! Cant wait for it to get release since my note 2 got stolen and i got back on insurance

It's not just a phone, it's a power house! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2438466
However, its initial price is indeed abusive anyway.
I would suggest waiting a couple of months till prices settle a little.
And if you still think price remains abusive, set you eyes on a Note 2 which is going to be 30/40% cheaper in comparison and it's a GREAT phone ( I have it)
You gonna have 2 choices:
1) Note 3 State-of-the-art phone but quite expensive
or
2) Note 2 an excellent phone nevertheless and way cheaper
:good:
Yes its just not a phone, it is a phablet. But anyways my justification is that I just sold my HTC One and will be selling my S4 for a combined total of 750. So I'm basically trading two phones for one. Also I saw that m4sta2k was going to buy it for $1000!! which makes my purchase alittle bit better. ha.

I dont know about the Note 2 being way cheaper. I remember paying full price last year ($650) and its currently $704 on AT&T's site. I guess its success caused a price increase. I can see it going down a little but not much. I would love to get the Note 3 but I really love my Note 2. Hoping to get the 4.3 update and some other goodies in the update before the end of the year or I just may get the Note 3.

Well, I can only talk about how things go over here ( Holland ) and about sim lock free phones ( no plan/contract)
The Note2 is already around 100 euros cheaper ( 132$) than one year ago costing around 560$ at my favorite webshop
It will get even cheaper after Note3's sales warm up
Anyway I will be visiting NY next month and gonna check some gagdets prices in places such as B&H ...

700+ is the usual price, it was the same for my note 1 and note 2 upgrade

i just dropped $745 on mine off contract from verizon
I can beat that price, but not by much.
T-Mo is selling it for $703.99 full retail.
http://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phones/samsung-galaxy-note-3.html
I know this is an off contract price but I'm not sure it's an unlocked device.
Cheapest UK price I've seen is from Handtec, where I got my Note 2 from when that was released. It's currently 586 then a fiver postage, I'm literally on the site now about to place the order, but reluctant to until I know which variant is gonna see the most community activity, 3G or LTE.
As the the ones listed on, Expansys, Handtec, Clove etc are all LTE, looks like my decision had been made for me but would still love to know what version is gonna sell more.
How tough is to buy a phone without contract (simlock free) in the US ?

You're not beating the price. He meant with tax included. It's $699.99 and you don't have to pay for the SIM with Verizon. Neither phone is unlocked.

This is still better than ATT&T at $725+tax

That's a rip off to pay that much and your device and not be unlocked.
True you could probably hack around and unlock lock it, but it's the principle.
It does not pay to be first when it comes to electronics.
I feel it's not viable because of the high price.. in India is quoted at Rs.49990 nearly 800 USD .UNLOCKED... way too expensive... think Samsung has got the pricing absolutely wrong this time... 40k should have made me think off an upgrade.....

It depends on whether it has features which one really needs and which cannot be found on NoteII. Maybe you look at it from that angle.
Just wait till its available (25Th September on wards), 49900/- is the MRP should be available or around 47.5k give it lill more time till October end and u should be able ti buy it for 42/43k, most of the online store are selling sony Z1 for 43k where as its available for 40700/- locally.
Personally I won't be updating this time around. The only features which really grabbed me are the new note taking ones but I don't even use my note 2 for that. I have a note 8.0 which is much better for the purpose. Phone calls, texting and email work just fine on the note 2 and battery life is great so no reason to upgrade until note 4.
Sent from my GT-N7100
No. Maybe N5 or N6. I have my N2 for 6 months.
No , going to Note 4 or S 5
No, Note at All
Actually I am very happy with note 2.
Who will go for 49000 INR mobile phone.
Rather I may buy another Note 2 for my wife because I can get it at 28000 INR only.
Practically there is no app in the Google Play that could not be run perfectly on Note 2
I was going to but my dad just got an s4 and I've been setting it up for him. And honestly most of the new features are pointless and possible battery hogs.
Granted there's 1 or 2 i would like. But unless I can get it for say 50 quid plus my phone? I don't see the point.

That's just the launch date price and in store price. I buy my phones off of Amazon.es, since I'm here in Spain. They go down in price really quickly. The note 2 was 700 euros when it launched last year, in October (mid october) I bought it online for 540. Which is 160 euros off the list price in stores. 8 months later in store it was still 700 euros.
I think stores have to get more competitive or else they will lose more clients. I can't beat lower prices, free 2-3 day shipping and being able to buy stuff from home. I still go out and buy stuff, but really expensive stuff is a lot cheaper online. I found my current house thanks to a listing online! haha.
Back to the topic: I am thinking of the Note 3 as an update to my Note 2, but not this month or maybe even next. November? December? January? I love my Note 2. But I am also eyeing the Sony Xperia Z1 as well was waiting for the Nexus 5. After we get some proper reviews I'll think about it. But I honestly think that 550 is a good deal for the Note 3. I refuse to pay more than 550 for any mobile phone (unlocked of course). So just wait a few days or weeks or maybe even a month and you'll see the price drop quickly, especially online due to competition with other online retailers.
So... Are you going to buy it ?
For battery the LG g2 is also nice!

Just wait for the JB 4.3 update for your Note 2....then you will have a note 3...except for the tacky plastic simulated leather case. Admittedly, it may not run as fast as the Note 3....but it will do everything the note 3 can do....why waste your money if you have a N2?:fingers-crossed:

Okay the press release reported said that 14 November was the pre order date.
Well the Samsung UK web site mentions the Note Edge but it is not available to pre order. CPW say it is not available for pre order and think it has not been fully tested for UK networks. Stratford Samsung store are not taking pre orders. Vodafone say they are still negotiating with Samsung.
Please add your news and information.
No news but I too was eagerly waiting for more information today.
Vodafone offered me a superb retention deal on the Note 4 but I declined because I dislike the build quality and back cover of the note 4.
However I am willing to overlook these for the extra screen in the edge.
The edge should not be priced higher than the note 4 regardless of additional costs of manufacturing. It should be priced at the same level as the note 4 and simply be the product to tempt customers to Samsung where the Note 4 was not enough. I know I will not pay a premium for this phone and will be expecting the same retention deal when I call Voda on the 28th.
CPW now say Edge is coming in December
It won't be long at all for pre orders. Samsungmobileuk tweeted 8 hours ago approx a cryptic message that was easy to decipher however the price with be expensive at first.
Good thing I didn't wait. I am very happy with my purchase. Using my 3 network sim in it. Super fast and super everything!
I did an unboxing video last week, tomorrow I will upload a couple more videos show edge screen features and the flip wallet. ?
