http://blog.clove.co.uk/2011/09/21/samsung-galaxy-notefirst-stock-expected-november/
Clove has an available date for late november in UK
The big question for those of us across the water - Is it compatible to ATT 3G bands ??
Edit : May be later october in some European countries

Looks like Samsung will launch their 5.3-inch smartphone-tablet earlier than expected. The Korean giant has confirmed that Galaxy Note will be launched this month starting with European countries. Big launch events are scheduled in Germany, UK, France and other European countries.
Meanwhile, Samsung is also preparing to launch the Galaxy Note in its home country. However, the difference between the local and the international version will be the inclusion of LTE. The Korean version should be launched sometime in November.

Holy crap. I didn't know it would be out so soon
Best phone in the world bar none! Puts every other phone to shame hardware wise...
It will work with Att bands but knowing stupid Samsung they will block you from getting a warranty if your American just like they did with the Galaxy SII i9100.
If I can find a way to get it with a warranty in the U.S. this will be my next phone

Looking at the spec sheet, it will support AT&T 3g bands.

why did i have to find this thread 930 is a bit to much but i'm interested in this now and the nexus prime

The unlocked price will probably be $1 to 1 Euro

that is cool, i like it an all...
but is too big to fit in regular jeans pockets

I had Dell streak for nearly an year. Loved the phone so much that inspite of owing a SGS II , I still miss my streak.
Streak easily fits all pant pockets and I have rarely used a carrying pouch.
Note is shorter than streak
Dell Streak ---------------152.9 x 79.1 x 10 mm and weights 220g
Samsung Galaxy Note 146.85 x 82.95 x 9.65 mm and weights 178g
I will love to own a note if it comes with ATT frequency

The note looks really good. Though not sure there's a real Market for mid sized Tablets... Why not just get the sgs2??

how about if u already have it

I'm waiting for handtec to send me a notification when the pre-order is available.
I think i signed up for both 16GB/32GB as well as nexus prime

Nice video showing the stylus
in Italian though

That's odd
folks at the IFA said the Note scores somewhere in the 3700+ in qudrant and the one in the video barely scored 2500

Quadrant numbers doesnt matter anymore....
All these devices are superfast to use...

Hoping this will be my next phone. Bought the Dell Streak AWS and sort of regret it. Not the size, just the phone itself. I love my Galaxy Tab (phone enabled) but there is room in my purse for this phone and I WANT IT !!!!

Just went to the Handtec site and it is now taking pre-orders. What does SIM FREE unlocked mean ?? Is that same thing as just UNLOCKED ??

incredible device !!
waiting for lunch and price !!

variable within a certain range is understandable but a drop of well over 1k points is questionable. Also GSMarena's results show much better number than SGSII but they didn't show any quadrant results

Any note on price yet?

Indian Galaxy S4 Owners Thread -Discussion, Reviews and more

Hi all,
Starting this thread to discuss all about GS4 and its availability in India!! One stop shop for all the info.
As samsung has already informed S4 will have a global launch, so we can expect it very soon in our Indian market from the date of launch..
The device is expected to ship in coming month, April. So many street retailers will ship the device at launch time. Officially, the date is not given for India.
So guys chip your thoughts about the Galaxy S4.
This post will be updated with all useful info related to s4.

I knew it you'd be here xD, planning on getting one? Or permanent nexus fan?

Re: Official Indian Galaxy S4 Owners Thread -Discussion, Reviews and more
Buying sgs4 on my bday 8th may should be available by 5th may according to androidos

Likely to be <40k.. right? considering the S3 is now 29k.. surely over 40 would be too big a leap

Yes, under the 40k bracket, but you never know street prices for unofficial launched units.
S3 is 25k here in Mumbai.

oops you already started! great , created new one before seeing this..

Damn....

i was waiting for it from the last 2 months

Alright. I'll be moving from an iPhone 4 (yep.. that old). I have no preference between this and the HTC One.
I've been using the 16gb for a while and I know I'll be fine with the 32gb on both phones. The micro SD isnt important. Both have OTG.
I like the design on the HTC a lot more.
The battery life is important for me though. I dont see myself carrying an extra battery though.. unless the one in the phone wears out.
On my current phone, an hour of gaming uses up ~20% of the battery.. An hour of video playback on medium brightness uses up a bit over 10%.
The One X did really poorly on gaming.. The S3 did alright..
Could you guys give me an idea how the S4's battery is likely to perform.
That'll probably be the deciding factor for me.

Reading the octa core big.LITTLE concept and the massive 2600 mAh battery it will ship with, the S4 will keep you pretty happy in terms of battery.
S4 again will ouput raw power while the HTC One will take some hit due to heavily embedded Sense framework.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

Most reviews seem to suggest Sense 5 is heavily toned down.. But I agree.. the bigger battery is a bonus. and the 4+4 should, in theory, be more efficient..
If Samsung hadnt gone for the hyper glazed back, it wouldve been an easy decison.. Probably the same if HTC had gone with a 2600 mah battery.
As it is, I'm confused. Battery life takes precedence though..

Canadian S9+ thread (Waiting room)

Its this time of the year guys! This thread is to discuss pre-orders across all stores and providers in Canada. To compare notes and ask ROBELUS related questions. I personally pulled the trigger for an unlocked (no subsidy) phone through best buy, delivery scheduled for the 16th and then I went back in an through Telus the pick up is on the 9th for some reason so I pulled the trigger on both. What did you order from where? What did you select? Pick up or delivery? Please share.

It seems the Exynos s9+ has 128gb of memory and the Snapdragon only 64gb. What gives?

But on snapdragon, we wont have unlocked bootloader so no root , which means no xda stuff. Na man, i won't buy s9 then!

Hola
I am still on the fence about getting this device. One unique thing that I need is VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling features and currently you can only get these "advanced" functions by buying a phone directly from your carrier. I would be more inclined to get the Exynos version primarily because you can get decent third-party custom ROMs that, for the most part, provide a cleaner experience than the bloated full stock firmware.

I just went over my emails and it turns out they sent me an email telling me to disregard the shipping notice and that my phone will be ready for pick up on the 16th. Oh well...

Just placed my preorder online with Samsung.ca. SES is not too convenient for me and having read about some hassles with using the $150 credit against the phone, I figured online was easier as the credit is already applied and I may get my phone before the 16th.

But why you guys not worried about the Snapdragon processor, i mean locked bootloader. Are you guys okay with that?
Also the benchmark scores are drastically higher on Exynos (3600, 9500) as compared ro the crapdragon(2400,8500).

No point if Samsung going under clock the exynos version so it performs like sd845. That’s what people at anandtech found out, hopefully it’s not true.

Bro the geekbench scores are drastically high on exynos but yeah the the other scores are pretty low.. i think in real life, Exynos will still be faster than the Snapdragon.

People still pay attention to benchmarks? I have no issues with my SD835 S8+ and I only expect the S9+ to be even faster. I'll take real-world usage over benchmarks any day. Plus, I like being able to use VoLTE and having proper Carrier Aggregation support for LTE, something that I can't use if I import an Exynos version.
