Hey Guys,
Figured I'd start a thread for us Canadians to watch so we can see when this device actually becomes available to us!
I should point out that tigerdirect.ca is selling it but at inflated prices (hopefully, anyway). I would consider buying from there but I'm holding out for champagne.
So, please, if/when anyone sees this for sale in Canada, post below!
(I've been waiting for this effing thing since my Prime pre order was delayed by 2-3 months! %[email protected]#%$ Asus!)

Any places you find can be added to my master list, I'll add a Canadian section.
It's available a TigerDirect.ca but it's a ripoff, the tablet is on sale for 574 and the dock 172, so in total a good 100$ extra than the regular price. The catch is, they list it as shipping in 3-5 days, i bought one, and after chatting with a agent, he said everything is backordered until at least june 25th. So basically, it's a smart way to try and make an extra 100$ off having the "exclusivity" of the first ones to sell it in canada

Yeah, I mentioned this in the OP. I was tempted to do it anyway but no champagne...
Hopefully amazon will have them soon!
sorry, didn't read all op. but amazon aren't too fast to move their stock up north, my money would be on ncix since they already have their template page up but inactive for a few days: http://source.ncix.com/asus-tf700t-transformer-pad/
EDIT: Ok so this morning it was just a page with no way to click the buy button but i can now see that the buy button redirects you to the actual product. The only things is that the actual TF700T is not on their website if you search for it, only if you use the link i have. In any case, the price is 499 so i just put in my order and i'll be patiently waiting until the probably stock fill day of july 25th

Sitting here with my new Acer A700...would have got the TF700T but I need something for my trip in early August.
Despite all the reported issues with the A700, fine with me so far, but I would like to give the TF700T a spin...so tempting to preorder this from NCIX and see if it ships in time for my trip.

Damn it! That's so tempting but I want a 64GB/Champagne! I went through this last time with the Prime, too. 64GB and gold ones were the very last to ship...
meh, i dont really care for the 64gb because the only things that take up space is my music, and that i have on my GS3

True enough, plus I have 2x 32GB cards already so that could be 96GB of total space... But I'm still wanting the champagne colour.
Tigerdirect.ca shippment notice - on it's way?
Hi, ordered a TF700t from Tigerdirect Tuesday morning. I received my shipping notice Wednesday morning. I should have the table by Friday (or Monday). But.... I've also seen when shipping notices are created but they aren't actually shipped until later. Not sure if this is happening here.

same thing happened to me, except i ordered monday night. then i called in on tuesday and asking them if the item was in stock and they said that even though my order was marked as shipped, it is back ordered until the 25th. This is just a very stupid way to keep customer exited about their inflated prices.

Wow that's actually the most stupid thing...
I have a pet peeve for poor customer service so if that was me, I would have cancelled the order before even getting off the phone...
If it's a 32GB, you might as well order from NCIX and save yourself some $$$.
Yup...done! I've been a client of NCIX for years, should of waited for them instead of letting my geeky impatience guide me, at least i know they dont have a dildo waiting for my a**h***

Of course just after I posted my last comment I checked my Tigerdirect / UPS tracker and in fact my order has actually shipped and it's some were in the States.
But I will only half apologize to Tigerdirect because it still is $90.00 more than B&H.
So a small hurray for Tigerdirect.
Mr. D.
hmm NCIX or Tiger Direct, I'm willing to pay more but if it's going to be delayed anyway I'll just use NCIX....or maybe just wait til memory express starts selling it, but it could be 3 weeks from now...decisions decisions...
Has there been any dates set for Canada yet?
I have only read that it will be early August but that's it

Hi all,
Infinity arrived from Tigerdirect Monday July 23. All is good . Need to find a case, etc.

Just recieved an e-mail:
TigerDirect has the Gtab on sale for $299.99 with Coupon code BOU24478.
Says it's a 72 hour deal.
If you missed the deal at woot, now is your chance to save a little money on it.
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7212231&CatId=6957
Since you can't post a link yet there it is for everyone to make it easy. Also for those who haven't ordered from Tiger direct. They're great ship fast and no tax unless you're in Florida.
Just ordered one. $307 with shipping. Great deal! Thanks for the heads up.
TigerDirect prolly bought 5k of the 10k sold, lol.
Sell them for $15 more...
$15x5000 = whoa
So where does the coupon code go?
Edit - never mind. Finally found it at the bottom of the cart...
Returning my item bought on 3/16
I bought my g Tablet from them for $349.99 on 3/16. I am returning it. Also, I got one from woot this week.
I bought one from tigerdirect.ca on Sunday for $399CAD (received it Tuesday). I just emailed them and they're refunding me the $60 difference on the new price drop.
Great Forum
Ordered mine with a 32 Gig SD card. Thanks to everyone for all the great information and all the hard work. I have no doubt I will be enjoying this for a very long time.
Yea, I'm kicking myself for buying one for $100 more than the woot deal just long enough ago that I can't return it. Goodbye resale value.
Thank you LucasMN for the deal info, and thank you jcdsilva for pointing out Tigerdirect's 30 price protection policy... I was the one who posted the $339 deal a few weeks back and already emailed them about refunding me the difference!!! Now I don't have to bang my head against the wall while cursing WOOT WOOT WOOT!!!!
Yet again, guilty... just ordered 5
Thanks for the heads-up. Wife's been wanting one of these and the 3 bills price point was my target. She'll be happy!

cool... that was nice of them.
Exact thing happened to me. I missed their $20 deal by 1 day, bought it for $399 on Sun, got it a couple of days ago and today it's on for $60 less...
So what did you say to persuade them to give you the refund?
Thanks....
man i shoulda waited for this deal instead of jumping on woot. The shipping at tiger is dirt cheap in contrast to other etailers and I could expect the product to be shipped same day. Now since woot doesn't have a real order history that shows order status, I have to basically watch it like a hawk to see when my order ships because my area is high crime. Most packages get stolen if not immediately intercepted.
Buggah, can't order online for international delivery.
Have to make phone call.....
Just ordered mine with 2-day shipping. $311, not bad considering Office Depot was $379 and Sears was $399.
If video chats were viable, I would have no qualms in buying my 2nd unit from CC/TD/Compusa

Many thanks to the OP and all who posted here. I did pick up one from Tiger Direct today using the posted code.
I dithered all day on the Woot deal finally telling myself not to buy version one of anything. Then was at Best Buy and played with the iPad one and two which sold me on the concept.
With Woot charging sales tax and Tiger not I will actually save about $2.

Just to note, it's a few more states than that:
"We only charge tax in FL, IL, NC, TX, GA, SD and ID"
(I knew they'd have to charge tax in IL because they have a warehouse in the Chicago burbs and have a couple stores as well)
So, please tell us if you received your order and from which retailer or if you have placed an order and that order is in backorder along with the name of the retailer.
I would say that if your order is in processing, you shouldn't vote yet until there is status update. So, one of my orders with newegg is sitting on "charged" so, I am going to see what happens with that before voting.
Also - you don't denote whether you ordered the 32 GB or not. I ordered the 32 GB and thus knew I wouldn't be getting it shipped right away.
how any of these threads do we need?
Yeah, well order is an oder be it 16GB or 32GB version. I can't edit the poll, please someone edit the poll with list of all retailers and same options for them.

21st in line on NCIX.com in Canada. Hopefully mine is shipped in the next batch they receive!
Hey!!! Why no Walmart or received from other..lol. I ordered (16GB version) on the 26th and got it today around 2:00pm EST. So far it's pretty awesome
Why not walmart? I can't edit the poll anymore so a mod will have to edit and enter other retailers in.
My amazon order had small update but thats about it and it seems most of the people here have orders stuck with amazon.
I've got a preorder from amazon with no shipping estimate
An order from AAEFES that says - "Order received by supplier"
Both for the 32gb
Ordered via eBuyer in the UK last night at 9.30pm. Received this morning at 7.45am. Doesn't get better than that.

Order mine on the 4/29 from B&H. Still in backordered.
want to hear from others that were wronged by amazon wireless.... After doing my research on what phone I wanted, I took advantage of the deal going on @Amazon wireless on Thanksgiving, where you got the skyrocket for a penny--- went thru the steps---approved thru AT&T--showed IN STOCK ordered it.... Supposed to ship within one week (2 day free shipping...yeah right) So the next day I return to the site to gain more info---now I see the skyrocket is "not available" backorder... Thought , good thing I bought yesterday (said IN STOCK when I cashed out) so I check my order and find that ship date is JAN. 9 ! Ordered on Nov 24th, I called in and found that they threw me in the backorder pool...That is BS I told them , because it said IN STOCK when I purchased... Had this info been laid in front of me @ time of purchase I may have done something diff. Even now if you go to the site, it will show "backordered, ships in 1 - 2 weeks--really? And my order from Nov 24th goes all the way to Jan 9th? So, looking for others wronged by Amazon..... . I also checked with both at&t and Samsung. ...no shortage of skyrockets........... Thanks for listening
Sorry about your bad luck my friend. Mine showed up from Amazon two days after I ordered it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
I ordered on the 21st and didn't get it until the 28th because Amazon shipped too late in the day for ups to send it on time in 2 days.
I also ordered on Monday 11/21 and got mine Wed. 11/23...sorry for your bad luck. But you still got it for $.01 right? I've checked prices and they're now at $189 or something.

Republic wireless has hosed me though..i ordered from them the same go-live night and i am not getting shipped till xmas..that's a month and half late..
hope its worth the $19 unlimited everything deal for my wife.
Wow bummer.. least its only a penny for the wait
I ordered on the 25th and it said I should get it Dec 8th. I'll check and verify that's still the case. When I ordered it, it said it was out of stock, so I was expecting a delay. But Jan??? That's a bit much.
Amazon Wireless actually sent me two Skyrockets.
I originally placed an order but was required to do a manual review by ATT/Amazon and was too lazy to do it at the time so a few days later I placed another order and actually did the manual review. After I finished the manual review I got a confirmation of the first order as well as the second one.
I get two shipping emails but only one new number email. I figure it is a mistake and that Amazon would catch it before shipping after the Thanksgiving Holiday. A few days later I have two Amazon boxes sitting at my front door. I only opened one line but have this extra Skyrocket sitting on my desk.
I love Amazon.
EDIT: I'm sorry if I got your phone.
Oh you got my phone! I'll PM you my address si tgat you can forward it to me ASAP

eh i got a 249$ phone for .01 ... even though it took a week to arrive i am still happy with it.
at least they still honored the .01 price if it was out of stock .. most black friday sales just tell you that you are sol if the item is out of stock.

I ordered on 25th as well and mine should be delivered tomorrow. Along with SGS II and Captivate Glide (Moving 3 lines from Tmobile)
I ordered 1AM on Tuesday and it arrived 3PM on Wednesday. I was actually impressed because I was expecting it the following Monday after the holiday.
I'm sorry you still have to wait. But for a $.01...I wouldn't mind the wait. Maybe you can get them to send you a white one?

I think my wait was attributed to Captivate Glide because it was suppose to ship in "8 - 10 days".

Amazon's customer service is top notch. They use all their muscle to right any wrongs. My guess is that you will be getting your device much sooner than Jan 9.

apparently the clove website has a release date of july 15th for the next gen sony smart watch.
price...a sweet £120.u can read the rest in the article.
sorry but official sonyxperia account confirmed that it is going to be released in September. here is the picture. hate that this rumor is not true..if not it'll be a good price...

Just made a pre-order myself @ clove
Well, Sony has said that it will be available WORLDWIDE in September, the paramount word here being worldwide. UK is not worldwide and it's not as if they necessarily just stock up produced watches and then ship it everywhere at the exact same time. Clove is a reputable company IMO, but I'll get back to post here when I have my watch before the end of this month :victory: (fingers crossed)
Keen to get this too.. just not sure if warranty is international or not though!

There are at least three UK web sites with the Sony SmartWatch 2 on pre-order in two weeks (July 15 week): Clove, MobileFunUK, and Handtec. I pre-ordered from both Clove and MobileFunUK. Clove already charged my credit card!
I ordered the current generation from MobileFunUK last year and it was delivered earlier than the rest of the world by a few weeks if I recall correctly.
So it seems very real!
cant believe theres STILL no speaker and mic. this is a must have imo. ive been waiting for so long for that, now going to have to wait longer!

Its not trying to replace a bluetooth earpiece, not to mention it would make it too bulky. Look at the Kreyos. Great features, but looks ridiculous as a watch.

im not sure where it says what its suposed to do before its released? so there is no reason they could not do it these days (im sure it could be done without being bulky) ive read of many users that would love that functionality. i would be quite willing to pay the extra price. it would turn it from being a good watch to being the best. (especially if it included a camera too!)

Yes two for now. I have 4 Sony current generation ones. I typically get multiple for various reasons including being able to have failures/damages.
Some web sites charge on preorder, I didn't realize Clove was doing this but am OK with it.
It will be interesting to see which one gets delivered first, as I also selected the fastest option available with each.
Thanks

Are you in UK or US? But guess good thing is by charging you, you get locked in to that price? Because reports indicate it should cost more come September

Canada, yes I think the current price is reasonable.
Clove is a big fat no-go
aleekwen said:
Yes two for now. I have 4 Sony current generation ones. I typically get multiple for various reasons including being able to have failures/damages.
Some web sites charge on preorder, I didn't realize Clove was doing this but am OK with it.
It will be interesting to see which one gets delivered first, as I also selected the fastest option available with each.
Thanks

In Clove's FAQ they write the following:
Do you take payment straight away?
Unless you have ordered an item that is marked as 'pre-order' on the product page, you will be charged straight away for the products ordered.
I pre-ordered, obviously, and they charged me straight away, now they just happen to have to delay it till week starting September 9 because Sony misinformed them. Yeah right. Lying sacks of s.... I'm fuming right now. Mobilefun.co.uk has it for preorder too and having bought 10+ times from them already and always really satisfied, I'll preorder with them instead. Also they answer questions and their watch is the plastic or silicone strap, which I prefer to the leather one that Clove claims to get - if ever. Like I'm gonna lend them all that money for 2 months
EDIT: So delay is legit, but their charing immediately is still crappy business practice.
Yup just got the Emil from Clover about the Sept 9 delay also.
Not too keen on their charge of the card now may ask them to reverse it till shipment.

Just take a look at who you should trust. Trustpilot is a Danish company, so not as well known by non-Danes, but I concur with the reviewers.
Check Trustpilot website and read about Mobilefun and Clove and then compare them.
Can't post links because of this damn spam prevention 10 post system. At least this way, replying and hopefully helping you, I'll rack up enough to be able to post in developers section. By no means a newbie but unlike some I always search forums thoroughly, so never needed to ask much myself :angel:
I have just ordered it from Mobilefun and theirs is the rubber strap that I wanted anyway. Even it I still won't get it till September, I trust them regarding any problems with the watch later, should such arise.
Clove just responded that I'll get my money back within 7 business days!!! What? They should do it today so I'll have it by tomorrow. I might get it by tomorrow, I guess, but never have I dealt with anyone that slow.
Best of luck and Mobilefun FTW :victory:

Can't post links yet but to to mobilefun . co. uk and type smartwatch, then find version 2 and read the correspondence. They seem quite certain it will be in July, or it would seem, at least before September. You could give it till tomorrow to see it they change their prospects like Clove did, but unlike those sons of cloves they won't charge you until they actually send it.
New update as per July 9 afternoon

Verbatim copy paste from Mobilefun’s website where some dude asked what we’d all like to know.
David:
Hi there. I have this on pre-order with you in anticipation of the 15th July release date. However, sources are saying as of this morning, Sony has now pushed back its release date to its original one of September. Do you know if this is now the case? Thanks.
Mobilefun:
Hi David,
The release date of the Sony SmartWatch 2 has been put back to September and will not be launching week commencing 15th July as previously stated. The revised arrival date is week commencing 9th September. At all times we provide the most accurate information we can based on data we are supplied. It has transpired that the date of the 15th July given by Sony’s distribution arm was incorrect.
We are sorry for any inconvenience this delay may cause.
So it seems the delivery delay is the same for Mobilefun and Clove. Only difference now is that Clove will charge you immediately and Mobilefun won’t until they actually ship AFAIK. Clove’s comes with a narrow black leather strap and Mobilefun’s is the silicone strap. I’ve opted for the latter since I don’t want a splashproof watch with a strap that can’t handle water at all, or sweat for that matter. The silicone one is wider and more supportive and hugs the watch making it look smaller and the little holder things appear less prominent. Sony will release extra straps later, but that could take a while and if their overpriced M2 micro-flash cards are anything to go by, they’ll cost twice as much as a similar 24 mm strap on amazon/ebay. The silicone one is a fit, but the leather one is generic, so buy the durable silicone and you can then easily replace with a less durable leather later. Just my two cents.
EDIT: Mobilefun also charges immediately. Guess there's not way around that, but I don't care anymore. The other stuff I got from them I've liked and their service has been good so far.
and am looking forwards to receiving it. I know the processor is only the 845 but I am getting it primarily for the camera setup as I take lots of photos with my phones. Anyone else pre order theirs yet? I live north of Boston, Ma.

You can also just walked into a BestBuy and get it for $599 this week. I think I need to do that to get a hands-on and check out the camera app speed. A few seconds delay between the shots sounds a little too much.
I currently have the device and downloaded a pixel camera apk that seems compatible with it. Though question I must ask, does all five cameras work on third party camera apps as well… (night scape on this device would be fantastic). Nokia 9 five cameras’ design using a compatible pixel 3 camera apk would make me not purchase the google pixel 3 xl.
I picked mine up at Best Buy last Friday (March 1). Some locations had them available.

What are your thoughts? I picked one up as well, but haven't opened the box yet.
I ordered one from B&H, not sure when they ship but I'm happy just knowing I have one reserved for now.
I ordered one from B&H too! Hopefully they get some stock this week. Might arrive faster than the S10!
Very Excited.
I'm in the UK and I pre-ordered on the 28th Feb.
I have been on the fence about buying a new phone for around a year and I hadn't seen anything about this phone before the 27th. It hauled me down off the fence quicker than I expected, especially when I saw the UK price with the earbuds thrown in.
Really excited about the potential of the camera and the early review shots have looked great.
Although Best Buy has it on hand(at some stores at least) I preferred to order from BH Photo . Best Buy charges $25 for returns while BH does not charge for returns and it is free shipping to/from them. I have bought a lot of gadgets from Best Buy and BH and , BH photo usually has the best customer service. Of course BH does not charge taxes either (they are located in NYC) and I live in Massachusettes. Shipping from BH photo , when supply is in, is 1-3 days.
Looks like B&H may ship tomorrow according to an email I just got:
"Released in limited qty 03/05/19"

Also in the UK, ordered March 3rd and it is saying expected shipping date is April 1st, which is later than some other regions. I need to replace my S7 Edge and I'm seeing this device as a bit of an upgrade over the OnePlus 6T. I suppose I could wait for the OnePlus 7 but I expect that device to be more expensive and have no wireless charging. Also the camera is a bonus, and HDR10 support on the screen will be interesting to try.
Nokia are also claiming HDR video recording, though I am not sure what that really means yet.
Mine should be here tomorrow! Super excited
Interesting to hear that the phone is available in some markets. Ordered mine, but no indication on when the delivery starts in the Netherlands. Some rumors say 15 March, others early April.

Where did you buy yours from? I ordered from B&H, but they said they don't know when their inventory will arrive.

Best Buy, but it looks like they're sold out of them now. I originally did B&H, but on Tuesday I saw BB was promising delivery date of the 7th so I canceled my order with B&H and went with BB.

I just got the charge from B&H, and invoice says it has been sent to the warehouse. I'm guessing they have stock and will ship soon.

I pre-ordered mine from Best Buy on the 3rd of March, at around 3am. I received it yesterday (7th) from UPS at around 3pm. I am near Cleveland Ohio. I chose the free shipping, surprisingly I was expecting UPS to hand it off to USPS because it was sure-post method, but UPS ended up delivering it. I have to go to the AT&T store today to get a nano SIM, my current/old phone was a micro SIM, so I have yet to power it up and trying it out. I will later today *crosses fingers*.
