I'm still waiting for my Polaris to arrive but I do have the Touch Dual (Niki) so I'm sure the accessories are about the same. To answer your questions:
1) I don't think you have a choice of which color you get. Some get the black, others the silver. It just depends where you get yours from, I suppose.
2) According to others, we'll get the screen protector, TomTom software, headphones, plus the usual that comes with cell phones.
3) As far as who will deliver to you, I think it'd be best if you contact the sources for yourself.
4) I can also bet that if you order one outside a carrier, it will be unlocked. And even if it isn't, it can be unlocked, so this really shouldn't be an issue. Besides, when you go to order, they'll let you know.
5) I pre-ordered mine from OnTheGoSolutions for 749 a week ago. It wasn't until their units came in that they raised the price an extra 50! I can't tell you why the difference in price but I can tell you that you should do a little more researching.

I've had the phone in my hands last week, but I'm waiting for the Dutch version to come. So I can answer some questions:
If you buy only a phone, you'll get an unlocked device. This is in most phone companies.
The color is dark grey, and the light can make it shine like a silver one, but in another light it's a black phone. It doesn't shine too much, so it won't bother you.
The accessories are (from what I've heard): a headphone, a mobile-case, screen protector and the usual stuff. If you search on the net, you can find more stuff for the phone. You can download one TomTom map for free.
The price differences are huge. I can buy it for €600,- but you can also buy it for €500,- if you search good. I can only advice you to search carefully, to get the cheapest. The price doesn't affect the phone.

i try expansys .. they decline my visa
and ebay need paypal account that not allowed for egypt
amazone .. the mobile not avaliable yet

Asia will be getting the black version. The rest would be silver I presume.

I would loved to have the silver version though color is just a personal preference. You know all pocket PC's are black or at least blackish and so the silver looks so unique.

[Q] When will this Carphone Warehouse exclusivity end?

I don't want to have to pay £549 for this device, particularly since it's only $529 in the USA (!!). I'm guessing that Carphone Warehouse will keep the phone at this overpriced level for as long as possible though.
Has caught any mention at all of how long this exclusive deal with Carphone Warehouse will last?

Carphone Warehouse is owned by Best Buy so prob exclusive to them the same amount of time it is to Best Buy. Could be a while.

Try ebay, you might find a cheaper price.

eBay is a good idea, however it seems unlikely that people will be buying from Carphone Warehouse (the only place to buy) to then sell off cheap on eBay. I guess some people may import them, dodge the VAT, then sell cheap on eBay.

Ordered mine from CPW on the day it was announced. After import duty and delivery and waiting for them to show up on eBay I doubt it would be cheaper, and £550 is still cheaper than an iPhone4.
Phoned the local store it's being delivered to today and they don't know when it will be there so just have to wait for the head office to send it out and let me know.

[Q] best way to buy

was going to wait until the keyboard dock model was out but as shipping dates are being pushed back i might take the plunge.Whats the score with getting the dock after its released

No trouble at all it seems, but only for a short period.
You follow the instructions given here.
I did this yesterday whilst I was on the train (just got my Transformer!) and was sent an invoice yesterday afternoon, which I duly paid by bank transfer. The keyboard docks should be sent out sometime in May, and the total cost was £54.98p.
Regards,
Dave

thanks dave how you finding it , is it as good as the reviews say?

Is there ANY chance to order this tablet from UK to germany? We don't even have a release date yet and I don't care about the different charger. But there's no shop that's shipping outside UK, at least not one that offers the Transformer!?
Can anyone from UK pleaase post me a link from a UK online shop that ships the Transformer to Germany/mainland Europe?

Could you buy one of the ones on Ebay?
I was thinking about buying a couple of extra ones and selling them on ebay for those who can't get one yet.

I would greatly appreciate that! All the devices that are on ebay right now ship from Taiwan, meaning a lot of taxes for shipping to Europe.
So if you sell the tablet for a reasonable price I'd definitely buy a device from you! Docking station from UK is worthless for me anyway, since it has the wrong layout (QWERTY instead of QWERTZ). Just PM me your ebay link if you sell via ebay, that would be awesome! Just ordered a device
Cheers

I´m going to the US this June.
Are there any other differences than the charger and the QWERTY ( dock )?
Prices starting at USD 399 + Tax.

Anyone having luck finiding this watch?

I messed up and didnt order one at release, now im wanting it pretty bad.
Anyone having luck finding it in the US? I have read reports from several people that some 3rd party vendors that are shipping from Korea are shipping out international version ( no samsung pay, right? ) so I'd like to avoid that.
Frys Electronics shows it available for shipping first week of Jan.
Id prefer to go through Best buy or amazon, anyone have some insider info on them? Customer support has zero info.
thank you!

I was able to find it at Best Buy.

I had the same problem. Couldn't find it anywhere, finally I took a chance, and went to craigslist, saw one going for $200 no box, I asked the guy if the charger came with it, he said yes. I took the chance, went for it, and it's just the watch, with the charger, (no cable or power block) but for $200 it's not bad. I factory reset it before I did anything, so far so good, everything works, Samsung pay works.

Best buy

None of the best buys in my area or anaheim, ca or las vegas have them in stock. The best my local best buy was able to do for me is give me a 10% off coupon ad they couldn't even let me place an order to secure the 299 price.
Been keeping an eye on Craigslist too, thank you guys!

I usually check nowinstock.net for email notifications when they come in stock at Best Buy, amazon or B&H.
https://www.nowinstock.net/electronics/smartwatches/samsung/
It actually looks like its in stock at best buy currently with free 2 day shipping: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-gear-s3-frontier-smartwatch-46mm-dark-grey/5647800.p

Aww snap! Thanks for that! I was at bestbuy not less then 2 hours ago and they were showing none. Anywhere. Ordering!

I Also got mine from Bestbuy about a week ago, but they were out of all the Bluetooth only editions. I ended up convincing them to sell me an ATT version for the same price and I'm just using it as Bluetooth only. Seems they are out of stock just about everywhere..

I ended up getting two shipped out. One came in today and the bezel clinks quite a bit. Going to see how it compares to the one arriving tomorrow.

Found one under my Christmas Tree. :good:

I just bought one today from my local Best Buy. No Best Buy locally had them until yesterday. Per the manager I bought mine from, they had a shipment of them come in yesterday. They only got 4. There was only 1 not ordered online that was available for anyone to walk in and buy. They didn't have a demo unit on the floor.

AT&T has a special if you upgrade a line, you can get the S3 for 50 bucks...just did it myself. Doesn't have to be the Flagship, either...any Galaxy phone.

Just walked into my local best buy today and they had one left. It was $350 though. They said they will price match until the 15th of January so hoping it goes on sale! Either that or Verizon announces they are getting a LTE model and I'm returning this one asap

Picked one up, the last one, at my local Best Buy. It was $350 but I was able to use a one time 10% discount. Came out to $337. A few bucks more than with tax on the sale price. Ordered from Samsung 3 weeks now and still no updates. Cancelled that order.

whoever is looking, I use this site to stalk the stock of the main website/stores to find most things and the watch was one of them. It even says at this exact moment amazon has them in stock
https://www.nowinstock.net/electronics/smartwatches/samsung/

None of my Best buys stores in the Bay area has it in stock. Starting hitting craigslist and picked one up for $220, like new in box with all accessories and the receipt from Amazon. Can't express how much more comfortable this is compared to my S2.

They have alot in the Fort Worth Texas areas

Man i have had the same luck with Samsung. I ordered during the christmas sale and its been weeks. Aholes haven't shipped my order yet. Best buy has been out of stock since a long time near me, either. So i kept checking almost daily like a routine and finally found in stock, ordered and cancelled my Samsung order. The frustrating part is Samsung website has been showing The Frontier will ship in 1-3 business days since past coupla days. I called their agents and they all be like- "Oh sorry, it just means it will be delivered in 1-3 business days, once it leaves the warehouse. It is not what you think". WT?? Man I got so pissed calling them again and again with no luck, they all repeating the same sht. I have a strong feeling they are not shipping in the order received. I think brand new orders at full price are still being shipped sooner than those back orders sold at sale price.

Looking to find a Reputable Seller to ship to Canada

Hi
I am looking to purchase the new Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra China Version and have it shipped to Canada.
Could someone suggest a reputable company to buy from?
Looking for the 16GB RAM 512GB version.
Thanks!

The site doesnt seem like much, but I bought my Oppo Reno 10x from them last year. Shipping was very fast, took only a few days to get to Ireland.

I've read good things about tradingshenzhen. I haven't used it yet but will probably buy from there.

i've bought 6 phones from Liaow excellent experience each time 4-5 days shipping to the states. i was gonna buy the mi 10 ultra, but found a find x2 pro for a excellent price. I may still grab one though!!

Try Wanda Mobile, ive used them in the past and all good to UK

I have ordered this phone to the UK thanks to this post. I have bought from China before and expect no hassle especially being in the UK (and hope any USA buyers have no problems!) but thanks for this post as it helped me made my mind up. Plus they take Paypal, and I have paid via credit, so if anything goes wrong they can get invovled
Edit: so today I had an nice email from Liaow. Just checking I know if the phone will work in my country, warning me about customs tax if they open it, just everything really. Made me very confident, they have some shipping delays due to Corona but we're still looking at one week in total. I was very reassured, the guy had perfect English and checked on things most suppliers just would not bother with.

Liaow also shipped my phone last year with DHL. I orderd and on the 8th of July I got an email from them with the waybill info and also a photo of the package itself. 3 days later on the 11th of July I got an email from DHL for customs duty to be paid, it was 47 euro. So 3 working day shipping from Hong Kong, that's what I call fast shipping.

That Mike from Liaow is the nicest guy ever. Not only did he contact me before confirming my order to make sure - a nice thing to do for international sales but not something I've ever seen before! - but he's kept me updated every step of the way with photos of the packaging, the address label for me to check and even weighing the package for DHL!
Liaow.com really went above and beyond. They even put the price of the phone as much lower than it really is for customs.

I got mine 16GB RAM from ALI BABA , seller name is "Fujian Century Sea Power Co., Ltd. Manufacturer, Trading Company"

For me, the recommendation goes to Wondamobile - 4 days shipping time from china to central europe, quick and helpful customer support and they promise to pay import fees themselves, should any arise.

I've got mine from mi4canada.()com and I have only good things to say about them (the shipping was with dhl express and it took 4 days to deliver). It's the second phone I've purchased from them.

I got mine 16GB 512GB edition from liaow.com, Mike- the site owner is the most responsive and helpfull man. I will buy one more silver tomorrow.
