Is there any stores in London UK that are selling the Samsung gear live??
I am going there next week and hoping to get my hands on the Gear live...
Or are both the Gear live and G Watch only available online?? I know i can´t order it here in Sweden from the Playstore

The Australian Samsung Galaxy Note launch will not happen till February!
While announcing it's Galaxy Note World Tour event in Jakarta, Indonesia,
"Samsung also mentioned that Australia will only see the handset come February 01 in 2012." according to Cnet.
February is quite some time away. Could Samsung be waiting to roll out ICS to the note before launching it in Australia to avoid more Apple lawsuits?
Samsung recently changed the look of the galaxy tab in Germany for the same reason.
I know companies launch products in different markets at different times for a huge variety of reasons, but I can't stand the waiting game
(need to get it on plan as a work thing, so no ordering from overseas, ha ha)
Also, I have been asking Optus about the Galaxy note:
-Online help confirmed that they are looking forward to its release on the Optus network and to expect to hear more soon.
-An instore sales rep also said that he had played about with one at training in Sydney recently, but they still have yet to confirm release date for the phone.
So looks like at least one carrier will be selling the Galaxy note over here
That's Australia For You

I live in perth and naturally knew it would be a life time before Australia gets this phone so I it ordered online. If you can afford it, it's worth it because I just went and stuck a virgin sim card in there and went on my way.
It's a better option than waiting till Feb and then seeing the optus deal somehow fall through and the note only being on telestra or something haha. By all means do what you feel comfortable with
Got mine from becextech
Took about a week from placing order. Came from Hong Kong. Had it for a week & very impressed.
Gave the missus my 3GS
My wife bought me the Note as an early Christmas present.... Ordered Friday afternoon from Handtec in the UK, delivered to my hand in Australia mid-morning Monday.
At the time it came in at 449GBP plus around 30GBP in delivery I think?
Screw waiting for Australian carriers to realise it exists, then buggerise around organising their 'deals' with Samsung to install as much crap on it as they can get away with before finally letting their privileged customers get their mitts on it for $79/month or more on a 2 year contract.
got mine from mobicity. it was a polish version that was shipped from hong kong to australia. got it within 3 days of ordering, which is pretty awesome. they also offer a local warranty, which is pretty nice.
most of the time, buying a phone in australia is silly. despite our aussie dollar being pretty strong right now, they still expect us to pay outrageous prices for a local model. as an example, i nabbed a brand new n900 on ebay for $400 from hong kong, harvey norman were charging $850 for an n900.
just buy it online, its worth it.
I love the fact that all 4 replies were convincing me to get it right now...
actually worked too!
I think I'll order one next pay check, since they will probably put it overly pricey contract at first anyway D: Thanks guys!
Got mine from Expansys, was here in a few days, screw waiting until feb so they can bake some crappy exclusive Telstra/Optus/Vodafone firmware with a ton of bloatware, probably also cheaper to get imported.
I paid $730 delivered, can't imagine the outright price from any of the AU carriers will be close to that.

The Samsung Galaxy S III has arrived in Dubai a week earlier than expected and is already on sale for $666.
This has been confirmed by a vigilant Reddit user who noticed an "Available Today" sign under the S III name in a mall store in Dubai. Speaking to an employee he gathered that the store has plenty of Galaxy S III units in stock and all being white variants (no word on which internal storage version it was but we're guessing 16GB).
Other users have also found the phone available (and purchased it) but for around $680. We guess a hefty bunch of people who pre-ordered the Galaxy S III will be less than impressed right about now.
One of the visitors of such a store sent us the pic you see on the left. Unfortunately, the store has already ran out of stock when he got there, but reportedly, more units are on the way, due in the next few days. He confirms the phone was priced at 2500 AED or about US$680.
And hey if you're still on the fence about getting an S III, you might find this useful.

Dupe of this thread.
Please search before posting.
Thank you.
Hi there,
just wanna know if anyone here know when this phone will be available for New Zealand consumers. Also if i wish to buy early which online site is best for purchase this phone. Do you guyz think motorola will ship this phone to NZ, if I purchase this phone from their site after using Moto maker.
And lastly how much custom duty i expect (estimated) for purchasing online.
thanks for any help
Considering it doesnt look like yous get the option of buying directly through a New Zealand Motorola Online store I guess it will be atleast few weeks after world wide release which is set for September.
Custom duty ... first the actual price needs to be established and whatever country you actually purchase it from.
For example if you bought it from US ... Landed cost will be about NZ$820.
Thats based on US$400 phone and US$40 shipping.
All assumptions I know.

Moto maker is not available for Australia or New Zealand. It will be sold in NZ and AU in set colours. You could check to see if you can use NZ Posts address in USA and get it shipped back to NZ. You will pay 15% gst upon arrival.
nah im not gonna import phone and pay extra... lets see what options we get for moto in NZ first. I'm still waiting for its reviews...
also i'm looking into LG G4, I am getting that one for 750 to 800 NZD... coming from iPhone 5 i'm worried if i'll get used to 5.7 inch Moto display. so lets see.
Can anyone at all, please explain why the UK play store says "Coming Soon" rather than Preorder Now?
Anyone at all.
What country do you live in? I believe it was only US UK and Ireland was released for per-order last night, but could be wrong.
I got the pre-order in on the UK store as soon as it went live
I also just checked and you can buy it now ?
I pre-ordered two devices yesterday as soon as it went up on the store. They're still available to pre-order though as of now.
The only configuration that isn't available is the 32gb frost. Although it doesn't say sold out, or coming soon, just simply that the configuration is not available.
This launch is so crape on so many levels when on earth will it be possible to get the grey one in the UK or am I better off ordering one from Germany etc?
How are we supposed to know?
Ordering from amazon should be fairly safe in terms of return policy etc, but they don't have it in stock yet either, so I'm not sure how much that helps. I also wouldn't pay significantly more just for the chance of getting it a bit earlier.
I don't suppose you plan a trip to Germany because Saturn Germany has the grey version available online but they are only shipping inside Germany so I let it ship to a store in Passau and am getting it today.
I picked mine up today aswell from Saturn Passau.
Here to confirm availability. Just picked up my grey Axon I ordered on 04.09 at Saturn Germany.
Sometimes I wish I didnt live in the uk get crap everything.
I live in the Netherlands and just ordered a gray Axon 7 at Media Markt Germany because I also couldn't wait for a (not even confirmed) release in The Netherlands. I used a site called mailboxde.com to ship the phone to one of their deposit boxes in Germany and they will then ship it to my house. I read overwhelmingly possitive reviews about this service so I have high hopes I won't be screwed. I will keep you updated when I do indeed receive my phone. Maybe if Mailboxde proves to be reliable it will be a valid option for you too.
