According to this Verizon will open prereg order direct tomorrow.
So as many of us know, Best Buy did not show the leather as being available only white, blue, grey. And they want $609 versus $550 direct from Verizon.
So, I might now bail on the Best Buy one I PO'd and order the leather one direct and forgo the $100 best buy gift card since I would have to buy the leather and since the VZW one is $59 cheaper + not having to buy a leather back, now the Verizon direct might be a better deal since I DO want leather.
BB = $609 + tax = 658.79 - $100 gift card = 558.79 + have to buy a leather back (60-80$ so say $60) = $618.79
Verizon = $550 + get leather (and maybe the plastic back I hope as some in the UK get a plastic when they buy the leather so 2 backs in 1 buy) - having to buy a leather back + less tax $44 = $593.98
OR.. maybe get BB to match the $550 price and then you are back to being ahead if you have to buy the leather back but I just called, and they say they do not price match... oh well. Tomorrow I decide if I keep the BB po or order the VZW direct.
ps - And these preorders will begin shipping before its in stores on Thursday, June 4 (which is when BB has earliest pickup).
I'm in the same boat... Lol... Finally pulled the trigger and pre-ordered from BB. But that leather is probably going to make me cancel too.... Choices.... Choices... Lol

Good for you for finding that. I looked at the time I posted on their site & that was not posted. I figured tonight @ 9pm I'd check as that would be the 28th on the east coast.
No matter who I order with - likely Verizon given my logic above - I'm all over the "freebies".
you can actually add the gray and white to cart on verizon. i was thinking about picking up a leather one. i also noticed tmobile leather and regular is same price as well
Ordered a black leather G4! With free 2-day shipping it should arrive 6/3 or 6/4.

I just did the same thing.
So now i have a BB preorder and a Verizon preorder 1 will get cancelled since the Verizon is set to ship 6/1 so maybe 6/3 or 6/4 delivery then I fully expect to cancel the BB preorder - the day I get the VZW phone - because as per above, the direct Verizon is a better deal IF you want leather - and I want leather.
Just cancelled my BB order. Getting the leather from verizon. Just a heads up... I had to call best buy to cancel... Online would not let me.
Or you can live in a state like me with no sales tax and still win leather back is useless unless you're planning on not having a case (which is just stupid).

Yes, it is the "black" one. And yes, they do not make it entirely clear and obvious, especially when on a mobile device.
Some might be able to find out today what we get in the box - and how the phone seems - since Verizon claims "select stores" will have them in shop to see as of today. My local shop did not.

Lollipop has barely been adopted and pushed out to phones - atiny laughable 1.6% of Android OS usage - and now they are on to something else. This is part of the fragmentation downside of the Android OS. Most are still on KK and JB. Some might even end up skipping Lollipop usage actually. And even if this phone can support M - which I bet it can - that could be a year away (or more) based on M offical release and then, the provider prepping it for the phone and then pushing it. M? I couldn't care less about M right now.

Long line still?
lines aren't bad. I was actually one of the first 50 but gave up my spot after talking to the Samsung rep. they're quite disorganized tho
i got there at 11am. i was honestly turned off by the whole experience. the Samsung reps don't know when they will be shipping the grey models. they just told me to keep checking. it really seemed like they were not ready to release this thing yet.
Any word on when the 8.9 will be available?

Time is ticking. The tablet market is hot, and moving very rapidly. All tablet manufacturers have to push these things out as fast as they can, before more competition gets their units out, ramp up production, or newer, better models come along. They don't really have time to come out with a polished and well planned launch. I'm sure this is why it was a NYC only event. They just weren't ready for a full launch, but are trying to get these released as quickly as possible.
Wait, sorry if i'm off here but, everyone is upset because they only have the white model and not the grey one?

if you were there at the launch, you'd be too.
1) no announcements were made that they only had the 16gb white model. there were a lot of people who were waiting longer than me who left the line after hearing the Samsung rep tell me about that. they all wanted a 32gb model, due to the lack of micro sd slot.
2) Samsung reps had no idea when the rest of the models will be available. no eta. only told me to keep coming back. it was a disorganized launch. there were gaps in information between Samsung reps and Best Buy employees. the Samsung rep even admitted that they had to ship some models last second just to even have demo versions.
don't get me wrong.. i'll be going back there again tomorrow in hopes that they suddenly get some new shipments of the grey 32gb model.. fingers crossed.
i bought the 16gb white model the only model available , was planning to get the metallic grey , might return this for the metallic grey once that comes out.
Also got the free leather sleeve . the line wasn't too bad i reached there exactly at noon.
I bet the grey will be out on the 17th. I would be a little bit miffed to get there & wait only to find they have 16GB white models if I was wanting grey or a higher capacity.
They talked the release up enough that they should have mentioned that model was to be the one released.
I'm still bombed at still no word on the 8.9.
I think i'll give it a few more weeks after that I'm probably just going to bite the bullet and place an order for the iPad2 :-|

Yeah it was super fishy that the annouced launch way back from Jan of this year was a one Best Buy only launch with the rest coming a week later.
It appears now from your experience that you are dead on correct, they simply wernt and still ARE NOT ready to launch but are scrambling to get them ready.
The sad part is that the average non XDA tablet buyer will be non the wiser until a major new publication decides to cover this.
My biggest question is this: What is the exact count of 16GB white versions avaliable at Best Buy today?
I would buy the 16gb white one then.... wait and return for whatever tablet you want.

i asked.. Samsung rep couldn't tell, Best Buy employee didn't know. there really was that disconnect. i also asked them if there was an option for those of us there that showed up - if we could get some sort of email or phone notification if the model we wanted came in stock at the store.. nope. no luck

I'm personally not upset the white 16gb was wat i wanted anyways, but i forgot about the leather sleeve, since i doubt the sold 200.
Anybody in the area stop in and see how many of these are still left in stock or estimate of how many has been sold?

I got there after 2pm and they had stacks on the desk where the samsung employees were demoing. I would b shocked if they become out of stock. They had alot of keyboards, docks and folio cases also.
so its safe to say their strategy was a smashing failure. hope this expedites their worldwide launch. they should've premiered elsewhere

That is a bit disappointing
I was going to attempt to make a trip out.. glad I didn't.
I pre-ordered mine on bestbuy.com and got 18 months no interest financing (not that I need it or care for it, I guess it is just kind of cool to get)
Just as a side note, does this best buy have a parking? Hey, its NYC and parking is tough
They do not.

Return it and get another one. Or, if they have good service, they'll refund you the $150.
Sweet deal.
Does the 14 day return policy go into effect when you receive the phone or when you order/they ship the phone? I wonder if a lot of the 11/11 orders might be able to squeak in a return/price match if the former.
I'm hoping that will happen for me. I talked to them and they say there are going to get back to me. I also sent them an email.
Oh man. I am in on this.
Now I just need to decide which one to get.
Currently using 8.9 GB on my HTC One and the 16 GB Moto X only comes with 11.9 free, so that would leave me with 3 GB Free. Hmm. Probably need to get the 32 GB. Damn.
Then it's Dev Edition vs custom T-Mo. I like the black front because it blends with the screen. Not so sure about the woven white back of the Dev Edition though. It's one of the more slippery backs if I recall. The woven black feels nicer in hand I would guess since it's softer.

I called they wouldn't refund the $150 but offered me $50 in accessories which I don't need so they gave me a $50 Visa gift card instead. Best I could do without having to go through the hassle of returning the phone and ordering another one and waiting a week or two for it to be delivered.

Wow. I ordered on the 8th and it was delayed and shipped on the 12th. I can't believe that the delay may end up saving me $150 (grand total of $250). On the phone with a CSR right now and hoping for the best.

If you buy another phone on Monday and return the old one for a refund its a 4-6 week wait for a refund. Also from experience you have to have ALL the packaging the old one came in. I keep everything in the box, plastic bags, rubber bands, etc., just in case of getting hassled on this.

My return for refund has been processed. They are sending me a return label via email and I'll ship it out tomorrow. Luckily, I kept all the packaging, plastic, charger etc in the office so it's just a matter of factory resetting and sending it back.
So I have been dead set on getting this phone to replace my aging HTC Rezound even though its running KitKat pretty damn well. I have been holding out for the wood backs but they seem to be no where in sight and this is too good of a discount to pass on especially when its priced the same as the N5. So my question is should I get a Verizon MotoMaker 32GB version of the Developer Edition (just in case the dev community picks up)?

I wanted to return it out of principle but then the hassle of waiting up to another 2 weeks for a phone doesn't sit well with me. After having to pay to ship it back and they then deduct the original shipping charges out of the refund I'd only save about $130 so with the $50 gift card I'm only out $80.

On one hand, the phone is really amazing stock. You would lose the features that make the Moto X so good by flashing custom roms. On the other hand, there isn't much development on the Moto X and root for future builds/releases may not come. With the Dev edition you'll never have to worry about root (recoveries may be another story).
I'll, most likely, get another Dev edition.

I would go with the dev edition, which I have, just because it comes with an unlockable boot loader out of the box. It's pretty much the closest thing to a Nexus you'll get without buying one and for $400 its a steal. I love this phone too, a lot more than my Nexus 4 but the battery life is about the same. Its a little slippery though as the white back on the dev edition isn't rubberized.

Yea I've never been a huge fan of white phones as I feel they'll start showing their dirtyness after being heavily used for an extended period. Also I heard those woven backs are slippery. I could get a super thin case and see if that helps at all. Right now I only see the need too root to get free tethering, ad-free apps and PIE controls via xposed
Decisions, decisions. I ordered on the 18th and received it on the 21st. I wonder if I should return and get another on Monday. Questions will I be able to get another at $350, says supplies are limited.
I got the Navy with Black front and silver accents, I wish the blue was a little lighter so if I reordered I could maybe go with the Royal Blue. I really like the yellow back, but worry about it staining in my pocket (i,e. wearing blue jeans).
Hi all, just letting people know of the deal over at currys/pc world where you can get the tablet for £399 and get a cash back of £50 after 21 days.

I was on the fence with this, but this priced pushed me over the edge and ended up upgrading my 2012 model this morning. If anyone has put up with the lag on the last model, they will absolutely love this model. There's a night and day difference in speed and this is before I've updated it.
I'm just trying to hold out from rooting it until custom roms come about as I can guarantee this'll be the best tablet on the market without a doubt once it's been slimmed down and optimised. Extremely happy with the purchase, even more so for that price.
Now back to playing PVZ2 in hi-res. Beautiful!
The £50 cash back only appears to apply to the white model.

Web site says £399 is price after the cash back.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
If the tablet is £300+ you get £50.
I can't link it but click on Full Terms Apply it'll show you.
The Official price is still £450 but with the cash back deal they allow you to buy it at £400.
BUT they do say that any purchase over £300 gives you cash back of £50, so I do hope you can claim the £50 because I think they have made a hash of things on their site, just like their description haha.
Anyways hopefully it works out coz that would be a canny deal.
You would be stupid to not buy this amazing tab this cheap.
You need to reread the website, £399 is the price AFTER the £50 cashback has been taken off.
So its 449, minus the £50, which is £399, which is the price they show.
EDIT Oh I see now, it looks like they've messed it up with a misprice? They sell it for £399 cash... hopefully the cashback will still apply

I would try it you have nothing to lose, Might be an interesting legal argument on the wording especially as to the "advertised price".
"Discount" or "cashback" 2 different sales definitions.
Go for it.
John Lewis is cheaper at £399 ... and they have the choice of the black and white models of the sm-p600
Just so the UK bros know - im working on a ROM, so dont worry about feeling left out or anything, we will definitly have some good stuff coming soon.
Definitely £399 - £50 = £349 after cash back
Just to clarify. They know it's not a mispriced as that's how it's being advertised in store as £349 (after cash back). Trust me I paid £399 for and received a coupon to claim the cash back after 21 days (the same length of time they no longer refund you if it becomes faulty) and before 60 days (picture taken with the Note 2014 in low light).
@punkmilitia I know right. I wondering if it'd be considered stupid to NOT buy one for my wife also even though I know she wouldn't half use it Thanks for not forgetting us tea drinkers as I'm dying for a rom. I have to ask when do you reckon will see these pouring through.
Thanks!

They don't appear to have much black stock although they seemed to have it yesterday. If you're after the black model I'd say keep an eye on that link and maybe throw in a few google searches for it.
Hope this helps.

I couldn't find these offers through their website, I had to find them using Google! Definitely agree that they're muppets.
They do stock the black version, when I went to buy it they ask which colour I wanted, although the cash back didn't apply to the black model which it does now.

Yeah I just rang their stock check man (I didn't give anything away) and they say no stock anywhere!!
Wifes note
If I can source a black model at this stupid price I'll buy one for her also! The race begins.
I've been told to wait five minutes to post this to protect against spam? I'd have you know I've been registered since 2006 back in the great PPC era [said in an old mans voice whilst waving a walking stick at the screen]!
agreed that currys/pc world's web pages are confusing for this. the page for the white model says that £399 is after discount, the page for the black model doesn't say that. At first I thought it was the price for the original note 10.1, but the pictures are definitely for the 2014 model. The specs seem all over the place on the page as well, the processors are correct, but the o/s, ram, camera and weight look wrong to me.

I think what they mean by price after discount is that it use to be £449 in store, but later dropped it to £399 to match John Lewis and avoid having to pay the 10% difference they offer. The £50 cash back is only received after applying for it 21 days later.
I first thought it was for the older model too, but this is definitely a 2014 edition in front of me lol.
Here's the correct link to their entire tablet range, you can filter it by samsung on the left.

I suspect someone may have got wind of this and bought them all for ebay as these are bound to go back up to £450 and even still sell for that now over there. Who knows they may get some stock back in before the end of the year.

@punkmilitia I know right. I wondering if it'd be considered stupid to NOT buy one for my wife also even though I know she wouldn't half use it Thanks for not forgetting us tea drinkers as I'm dying for a rom. I have to ask when do you reckon will see these pouring through.
Thanks!

Personally - im aiming to release a rom when kitkat arrives. It includes tons of features and saves a lot of battery. I get 15 hours a day use now and it was about 11 hours vanilla. I might release it earlier though depending on demand.

KitKat! :crying: It took us ages to get jelly bean on the original note and I'm sure their flagship S4 just got 4.3 throwing us even further down the list. Of course beggars can never be choosers, however I wasn't going to get this tablet due to the lack of custom roms being available and I'm sure there are many who haven't for this reason.
As you know, Samsung make great devices, but clearly don't care when it comes to optimisation (it's spelt (omg it's correcting that too) with an s not a z stop correcting me!) and instead just keep adding more junk leaving them less stable. As much as I love my note right now, I won't be setting it up 100% as I know I'll be doing it all again the moment a sexy rom becomes available.
Conclusion: everyone start begging.

Heres an article hinting that the lg g4 will be coming out possibly on June 4. it talks about Verizon releasing a hint on a pic, Not 100% sure were the pic is though.
I'll be ordering whatever day it is. But that is an interesting subliminal message. Seems reasonable as there would be no other reason for that date to be on the phone otherwise.

the actual Verizon page :cyclops:
That would be a first for vzw to release a new phone before their competitors.
They sure as hell better be offering more than just white... as in the better be getting leather options.

Yes, please release the leather version so it drives down the plastic ones in price.

got a chuckle out of me, ha but agree. i wanna see that leather
It would be such the Verizon thing to do to release maybe 2 colors and then in 3 months a new color. In this case, I hope leather is an option up front BUT I bet if it is, they will likely then release a different leather in a few months.
We may end up having to make a G4 back swapping thread so people can swap/sell/trade various leather colors to get the one they want. For example, I like the mustard one and I bet no way will Verizon get that. But if Verizon does black, maybe I could swap with someone.
Preorder Date!!
My contact says VZW will go live with pre-orders on May 28th. No word on colors yet....

With that thinking AT&T will release June 5th. http://www.att.com/cellphones/lg/g4.html#sku=sku7570315
I'm with AT&T and would love for this to be the case, My S2 Skyrockt just became bricked this week and the G4 was on my radar.
Beautiful looking phone!

I'm sure the pricing will be similar / if not the same as Sprint.
http://newsroom.sprint.com/news-rel...extra-battery-and-battery-charging-cradle.htm
I wonder what Freebies VZW will include.
I'm thinking the same thing. Prolly same price. Hopefully Verizon has some deals for those who buy in the first few days when its out
For Verizon people, check this post out I made about Verizon pricing and colors (NO leather) at Best Buy.
And Best Buy does confirm June 4th...
Pre-Order
Pick it up on release day
Thursday, June 4, 2015
Select a store
So.. If you preorder from BB you get a $100 gift card + if you then apply for the Lg G4 freebies you can get a spare battery, 32gb card, spare battery charger... that is nice.
Looks like that hint was spot on

I don't know why but I also remember June 6 on their website.
Price is 600 for plastic.
650 for leather

June 6 was an early rumor date. I've read nothing official from verizon about a 6th date.
We now know, 100% confirmed, best buy preorders can pickup in store the 4th. No one else from Amazon or Verizon direct have listed any official price, dates, models - only best buy.
I have seen nor read on verizon or any best buy site - which has the 3 models listed for purchase and all are $609 and no leather is listed - of verizon showing any leather let alone leather at $650. I also remember those as early on rumors.
i hope verizon doesn't put its ugly branding on this phone
Just ordered mine.
great price

I love how it's the same price for leather or plastic.
If only it was compatible with Verizon, I'd pick it up from T-Mobile.
Well I've tried to but it would appear that T-Mobile is not interested in my business. I kept getting an error that my information couldn't be verified and I'd need to go into a store which I won't be doing. I cannot believe how wireless carriers can screw up the simplest of tasks like purchasing a phone. I give you my address information, my credit card info and you send me a phone.. Not rocket science...
Very unhappy right now!
Ordered my brown leather before bed last night and it should be delivered tomorrow! I paid for 1 day shipping. Can't wait!
Ordered at 0700 central time and order is already processed!

T-Mobile is REALLY good at pre-orders, as long as the system doesn't mess it up. I ordered my S6 the first day, 3/27 (a friday) and got it 3/30 (that monday). No complaints at all, aside from the phone being an overpriced defective POS.
Mod Edit: mind your language
supposedly I will get my G4 tomorrow since my order was updated as shipped. I hope it comes with the plastic and leather back, so I have better case options.

Why would it comes with two backs when they are the same price?

The UK, Netherland versions e.g. carphonewarehouse etc come with the plastic backs if you ordered a leather version. This has been confirmed. I'm only hoping the U.S. variants will do the same.

Didn't those leather versions cost more though? It would be nice, I just don't see why they would unless the leather was more expensive.

I don't know, but that link I listed is a Tmobile unit (non US). I wasn't sure on the pricing structure in those countries. Since I haven't seen a retail unboxing of TMO's G4, I will hold on to hope. Most likely won't happen though.
Just ordered mine
I'd say there is 0 chance that any us carrier includes both backs. It's just not the USA way.
Ordered mine. Also paid for overnight shipping as I'm moving this weekend to another state and wanted it in my hands before the move. Some points though:
I bought a metallic gray G4 using the link above and paid $11.99 for overnight shipping. I plan to stick with Cricket though (20GB/month for $55/month). That being said...FYI to anyone buying the phone:
I bought a metallic gray G4 using the link above and paid $11.99 for overnight shipping. I plan to stick with Cricket though (20GB/month for $55/month). That being said...FYI to anyone buying the phone:
1) You pay $50 or so in taxes (at least I did as a NY resident). I was hoping it would be tax free because online, but alas, tis not.
2) There is a mandatory $15 SIM Starter Kit that you have to pay for
3) There is no TMo logo on the phone according to customer service
4) You will need to apply for an unlock code by submitting an unlock request by calling customer service at 1-877-746-0909. That is, if you plan to use a different carrier like me.
5) As stated on Droid-Life by SDotNYC, you must go to www.lgg4t-mobilepromo.com to get the 128GB SD card by submitting proof of purchase by July 6th.
YES! I can't wait to get this phone! Finally the day has come!
Yeah not tax free because they have retail stores in your state, but I cant get the lgg4t-mobilepromo.com to load anyone else have that issue?
There is also another promo for a free battery and 32gb SD Card
Any differences in this that would keep me from fully using it on att? ie.. lte. This is a really attractive price
The website for the free SD card finally started working for me but you have to submit a copy of your receipt and a picture of the box showing your IMEI or MEID. So you can't actually submit anything until you get the phone.

Mine gives me a generic message asking for MEID and receipt and to come back when I have them. Site must not be fully live yet. No place to enter that info.

I plan to use it on Cricket (basically AT&T). I compared the bands specs via a document on Droid-Life and PhoneArena and the bands are the same as they were on the LG G3 which works with both AT&T and Cricket obviously.
How to order without upgrade or adding a line
Gee, I hope I'm not thick, but the only options I see for buying are upgrading or adding a new line. Someone kindly explain how to buy without the hoops.
Thanks,
