it's out of stock everywhere and the only option now is second hand, should i go for it? my other option would to buy a ipad 2 16gb but i feel that won't be enough data for me and i am so used to android, anyone give me advice?
Uh... I would say, wait until they get some stock? Find a place that will restock? Import? Craigslist may also offer some new ones from people who bought at a discounted price.

i can't wait till they get stock, it could be up till a month before they come back (can you go a whole month without a tablet?) and the price would increase and i would miss out on the £50 cashback, i can't even buy second hand from cex they are all gone, its all because of christmas, bah humbug i say!
i will try the stores on the high street today but i've checked all their stock online, they are all gone, i think i will have no choice but to buy a ipad 2, its either that or go without a tablet for a whole month, i can't use a samsung galaxy S2 to browse the web e.t.c LOL screen is tiny and impossible to type with (using it now to type this post)
I would go without a tablet for a month. You want warranty for something like this. I had the opportunity to get a used but unopened note off craigslist for $75 less but I decided against it.

i found one from the high street, it costs more at £355 but i am happy i have got one, i don't think i would have been happy with a ipad anyway.
Picked one up at tescos(York) yesterday for £318 and to quote the samsung guy 'there's load in stock'.... sure you tried everywhere?!
And for those that dont know you have to purchase up to and including the 31st December to be entitled to the £50 cashback.
EDIT: By the way, something else I also found out yesterday which could be relevant to you, is that Tescos website on purpose prevents you from checking stock of these items.

yeah i saw tesco direct website had the tablet for £318 but i heard such bad stories about their delivery i decided to pass on that and that is strange, why would they not let you check stock on online :S
i am going to claim my £50 cashback tomorrow, gotta setup the tablet tonight so tired too.
Oh sorry didn't see you managed to grab one! Annoyingly you cant start cashback claim process until 15 days after you buy it...probs to prevent you buying one claiming cash back and taking it back. But at the same time it has to be claimed before 60 days......probably in the hope you forget to claim!

Basically you're perfectly fine. if you look here:

At no. 2. You just have to claim before the 28th feb(or 60 days after purchase, whichever is sooner), but have to have BOUGHT it before the 31st December. And you have. so youll have no probs! Just make sure you claim before that 60 days expires.

Both Minnesota Districts have no Thunderbolts in stock and 0 on the way, and 0 in the territory warehouse. I watched as the employee in Lakeville, MN today showed me the RSS page (Best Buy Inventory program). Had the right SKU, $749.99 price. Sad to say but it is really looking like the 24th. Keep in mind, these are the 2 districts their headquarters reside in. There wasn't even any in Edina, the location that is literally across the street from Best Buy HQ...
The question to the Florida guy, did you physically see these stock numbers?

Trust me I want to believe! I was just throwing in what I found today. And im not calling the guy in florida a liar either. Having worked at best buy in shakopee, mn for nearly a year, 3 years ago, I never saw a product that suddenly change to show tons of stock and see none on the way. Only way I see this as being possible is if Verizon and best buy made a huge deal along the lines of "hide the tracking info in case the iphone sales flop we will let you exclusively release it early." Just my thoughts.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Well I've bought alot of Phones from BestBuy In some cases, they would not get that phone until Fedex delivered it on that release day. I dunno Maybe the Verizon rep is right or wrong, but never the less its coming this month.
I don't know why they'd release it without advertising...most likely to help the iphone get as many sales as possible, but that's just sad. this thing is a beast, and deserves the kind of marketing the EVO got from Sprint..

a week ago i made a post saying it was gonna be the 14th, when i was on the phonewith various people from besy buy corp, id say about 50/50 of the time, id get a response saying...stores will start selling them on the 14th, however the stores who had the bad winter storms could be as late is the 17th.
is wisconsin one of those state that got 2 feet of snow by chance?
with that said, id think that was period when the phones were actually shipped, (when all the snow went through the midwest areas) apparently with a "tell no one they are here" note stuck to them? just my theory for what its worth i guess
OK, I'm ready to give up my Backflip, and move up to a Infuse. I saw that Best Buy has them for around $100, any better deals out there? I am elgible for upgrade, with ATT, and saw that Amazon has it for $150, and Walmart for $130.

If you're a costco member, it might be worth the extra money to buy it there. They give you 90 days to decide if you like the phone, with unlimited exchanges and model swaps.

I believe you can tell them you want to "check it out" and they will give you a 1 day shopping pass but you pay 10% more. It's also possible you can buy at the mobile kiosk without being a member (just like the pharmacy). Besides, you must have at least 1 friend who is a member.
Just looked online, Costco on line is $119. I did notice that several of the phone prices are cheaper instore, vs online. Walmart online was $129, but $98 in the store. Might be time for a road trip, nearest Costco is 50 miles away.
or, as my wife is advising me, I could just wait........

I doubt you'd be able to buy it without a membership. I don't know about the one-day pass, but when I purchased mine at costco, the mobile kiosk sent me to the regular checkout with a voucher to pay (where they checked my costco card as usual), and they had me wait there while someone ran back to pick up my phone/accessories.
One additional point is that you do get a free car charger and some other useless crap along with your purchase, so if the prices are similar, you save the $5-10 if you actually want one.

This is how they make money by boosting the shipping cost. I live in China I know how much they pay the phone and I know how much it cost to ship a phone. I shipped a guitar for 40$ in Montreal from Shanghai so 99$ for a phone makes no sense.
They are local to me. I wonder how much if i picked it up and pay cash.

If the Korean Version did have octacore and support LTE it would be worth waiting for, as long as it wasn't 3-4 months down the line anyway.

I was tempted to order one myself but wanted confirmation that it was the I9500 and not the Snapdragon 600 I9505. So I sent him a message early this morning. As yet - no reply !!!
This doesn't inspire confidence in buying from him even though he has a very good seller rating. Also, as you say I can only see 1 positive feedback from someone who has purchased an S4 - yet he has sold over 1000.
I was prepared to order this morning but not now. Especially after reading your message and not getting a reply to my earlier question, I'm not sure what to do.
I hope you get yours and at least you're covered by eBays Buyer Protection should anything go wrong !!! Keep us posted.
He replied to a message I sent on saturday today. All I can think is that he has so many messages he can't get through them all
I'm hoping it comes tomorrow if he holds up to his one buisness day claim

Thanks for the update.
I contacted someone who had left positive feedback for purchasing an S4. I asked whether it was a genuine Octa I9500, you never know with alot of online retailers simply copy/pasting specs, and he confirmed that it was.
He also mentioned that the packaging was in spanish/portugese or something so looks like these might have been destined for South America maybe.
I got this reply..
Dear Buyer,
Thank you for your order. We will email you the tracking details to your order once it is processed and shipped. We are working hard to get your order processed. Thank you for your understanding in this matter. Once your order is shipped you can follow the progress of your package online

Well, that sucks because you are paying $99 shipping for FedEx International Priority so even if they are really busy - they owe it to you to ship your order out in a timely fashion.
I have just placed my order - it's working out about the same as buying the Snapdragon 600 version here in the UK, as long you don't get it hit by Customs that is !!! Hopefully, I get by the weekend at the latest otherwise I won't be a happy bunny
Yeah i agree, still no notification of shipping!
For what it matters, I did in the end buy from this guy. It arrived today. It's a latin america destined 9500 with the Octa as advertised. The thing left the manufacturing line only about a week ago. No problems in terms of tracking or shipping (Intl is FedEx, inside of the FedEx box it was wrapped in a UPS wrapper). Btw: European users: it comes with a US-power adapter, so probably you should order a Note 2 charger to go with it (works flawlessly).

I ordered it Friday and it arrived yesterday (from across the globe!) but it missed the daily courier truck so I got it only today.
In the end it was worth it because my country apparently doesn't give a crap about adding VAT to inbound packets and didn't ask me to pay nothing in addition, so I actually paid no taxes at all on it, i.e. 537€. (Plus shipping)
So, mine is a sad Amazon experience. I ordered through Amazon Pre-order on the 15th for a delivery on the 23rd. White 128GB with 2 day shipping. As of this morning, still showing arrival by the 23rd at 8pm, so I called to find out why it has not shipped and they said there seemed to be something wrong with my payment but could not tell me what it was as I have literally used the same purchase process and payment method for 7 other transactions this week. THEN, while I am hold with them as they research, my shipping date changes to January 9th. No one can tell me what happened and even a supervisor could not get the situation corrected. They mentioned not having supply (meaning no one got this particular model), but i really think someone just screwed up on my order and changed something and could not change it back.
So, did anyone who pre-ordered from Amazon get a white 128GB Pixel 4 XL?
Sorry to hear that, bud. This is exactly why I ordered through google, directly. Having another middle man between me and my device isn't gonna happen anymore. Hope you get it sorted.

It will probably come a bit sooner. My initial date was the 31st / 1st, but it's due to be here on the 24th, now
I spoke to rep yesterday about my order too. She said it will definitely be arriving on the 23rd blah blah blah. Today at 1:11 pm my credit card was charged so I thought I would get an email stating it was shipped but nada

I received my orange XL from Amazon today. Good luck!
I received mine today as well from Amazon
I got my XL from Google yesterday (22nd), was originally told it would be today (23rd) or tomorrow.
amazon order received on 22nd by noon
I pre-order 64 GB - Orange - XL. Was supposed to be delivered today. And its in same state as OP, still says coming today but is not even shipped. I am worried now. I am contacting amazon immediately.
Update : Same ****ty service ... they wont ship it, they said they will ship it when its in stock. Also, since they shipped the gift card with it, they charged me $100 bucks for it and I cant return that .... I am never going to order from amazon again.
Update 2 : Found the white -64gb XL on best buy for pickup tomorrow. Hopefully would get it tomorrow.
So has anyone received a white 128 GB from Amazon?
It looks like they have stopped selling the Pixel 4 / XL now, and no longer have any Amazon buying options. I would say someone screwed up somewhere...
Here is the email I received from Amazon. Arriving tomorrow. They definitely dropped the ball with this phone launch.

Finally arrived yesterday at 6:30 pm after numerous calls to Amazon to make sure it was going to be delivered.

mine is even worse, there now telling me I cannot cancel the order because I received the gift certificate. I notice now Amazon has actually stopped selling this phone so someone must have really screwed up... This is an Amazon nightmare
Im curious, why are people buying it from 3rd party distributor's? I don't want to rub in what I have already stated, but this wouldn't have happened had you gone straight to Google. If you have the money, I don't understand the issue. All that extra risk to possibly save a day or two or shipping doesn't seem worthwhile to me. Sorry for those that have learned this lesson the hard way.

I think it was because they were offering a $100 gift card without an expiration possibly. Google was offering $100 for the Google Store with a January expiration date.

My original order was with Google but the more I thought about it, I didn't want $100 gift card to Google store cause I don't want anything from there. Rather have $100 gift card at Amazon.
I see in the members app where you can get care+ for a year if you pre ordered but when I tap the button nothing happens. Anyone know how to get the free year?

That gives me a "you are no longer eligible to enroll in Samsung care+" message. You think they are making us wait until the actual release date of the 27th before it goes live?
Edit: Samsung said it will go live on the official launch the 27th.
It's the same offer in my country, but it says "Samsung care+ not available in your country".

Did you order directly from Samsung? If so, you had to add it to the order.
Unfortunately, I played this game with the Note 20 Ultra. Not adding it to the order claimed I could go into the Members app and add it for up to 30 days. After some extensive research, I found out that it could ONLY be added to the order or it "expired" and not even support could get it added.
It also wasn't actually available until after the release and then there was a slight delay (48 hours or so), much like it was a game release. I never did get it added, but that was the initial excuse support gave for not being able to add it.

As long as it is on your receipt, you should be fine.

I didn't add it when I ordered. But the app says you have 30 days to redeem it. There is a button specific for pre order customers

Hopefully it works out this time or they fixed the terms because last year, they were making the same claim and it ended up only being available if you purchased them together.

I wasn't questioning whether or not they made the claim. I had the same thing through the 10 different support conversations. I hope they do things differently this time, but I have no doubt you will invest the same amount of time I did.

Says on the app it's during order only. I asked they won't honor it. But whatever I was paying on it for my S21 Ultra so I canceled that since I sold it and will pay for it for the Z Flip so not like I'm really out any extra
Did it work for you? I've registered mine on 25th Aug. without problems (germany), purchased directly at samsung

If it didn't arrive yet, you could try contacting support and telling them you thought you clicked the button to add it. They may still be able to edit the order. The mistake I made was waiting until it arrived to decide I should add it. By then, the order was already complete.

They wouldn't.
I have the same problem, I had to add it on my cart and check out which I didn't... but the rep was kind enough to send me a $60 credit to use on samsung.com.. I ended up using it towards a watch watch 4.. Samsung care is pretty lame anyway the deductibles are way too high for screen replacement. I'll take my chances with the one year manufacturer's warranty.
Let's hope the hinge is made to be durable. The repair shops are trained to find a reason to call it accidental damage.
i waited out the preorder period to avoid Members app or Samsung account. After the release, the benefits are similar, but without that privacy annoyance. However, there's a price to pay for Care+ at least for first 2 weeks (to make sure preorder people feel privileged). The old Z models still receive free Care+ until today. I expect the same conditions to reapply for ZFlip3/ZFold3 soon. The display repair price is up to 1000$ so the manufacturer should still provide extra backing.

You save $100 with the Care+ plan. Screen repair is around $400.
