Its been announced the frontier and classic version, but not the frontier LTE version. In amazon.de (deustchland) are available for preorder, but no the LTE version

As far as I'm aware, the LTE version will be available with the non-LTE on the same day here in the US.

Some help I thought the Frontier was LTE just ordered one the other day well pre order.

According to this, there are two versions of the Frontier, one with and one without LTE:

It's very confusing. I've preordered too but can see nothing on the Samsung UK website to confirm whether their Frontiers are LTE models.

Hi guys, look at this:
http://es.t-mobile.com/internet-devices/samsung-gear-s3-frontier.html
Thats the real 4G frontier, I think samsung its scamming his costumers not telling that the version they are buying isnt 4G. The 4G LTE version it will be distributed by mobile companies not by classic retailers because needs E-sim. I really think samsung is scamming his costumers, people is buying frontier thinking its 4G and isnt!!!

I suspect so, if it is the case then i may return the watch. But to be honest being the the UK they never offered the S2 LTE version or others.
I doubt i will use the feature, moreso as it kills battery and i always carry my mobile.

The gear s2 classic 3g was offered on o2 for a short while so hopefully the s3 frontier will be as well.

I mailed Samsung UK asking if the Frontier watch I preordered came with LTE.

...They don't know :laugh:
They suggest I keep an eye on their website for updates on the spec.
Got to admire their style.

Amazon pre-orders to ship Sun Dec. 6
http://tinyurl.com/jd3mfns
Pre-ordered mine on Amazon this morning, but it already disappeared from existence on Amazon.com. Even when I click on my email order confirmation, I get taken to a "Sorry, we couldn't find that page" page. (And the "Buy it again" button takes gives me an "unavailable" pop-up)
Also interesting, supposedly mine will be delivered Wednesday the 9th, but then it says, "Release date: Tuesday, January 31st, 2017"?! Fingers crossed...

Ditto... I thought I was reading my post from another thread for a moment... lol
Ya, that whole disappearing thing and the 31st release date kind of makes me nervous. I emailed Amazon, but haven't heard back yet.

They've changed their minds. Reports now say everyone's getting it on Nov. 18 - but my Amazon order now says Feb 2, 2017!! Also, odd that it's going to be $350 everywhere else, but $382 on Amazon?! Guess I'll be canceling that order...
(They did send me an "order update" email saying I could refuse it or return it if it comes too late. Yeah, I HOPE to have one before February!)

Ordered mine from AT&T for $249 with 2 yr contract. To be delivered 11/18.

I'm waiting for Verizon to allow preorders. If not I have a friend who works at Verizon, maybe they will hold onto one for me until I stop by. I'd rather preorder it but Verizon isn't smart enough to do preorders it seems...

I an waiting on T-Mobile to offer pre-order since the unlimited data plan is only $15

Does anyone know if the e-sim from At&t will work and can be activated on T-Mobile's network?

Anyone knows if in Europe any mobile companie will sell the LTE version? When and in wich countries?

Galaxy S4 Available in Canada(Bell) on May 3rd

Spoke to a manager today at the Bell store.
They told me they are very sure the phone will be coming to Bell stores on May 3rd. Pricing was not 100% positive but is expected to be around $650 no contact, which is almost identical to the $640 projected for the USA.
(old news) You can pre-order the phone for 50 dollars from most of the various carriers. This is a DOWN PAYMENT.
Just figured I would share since it seems Canada isn't getting too much love Looking forward to the launch
PS. I looked at the Xperia ZL while I was there and it was a very nice phone, I don't get what all the screen fuss is about.

AFAIK Virgin Mobile Canada is getting it on April 26th. I would expect Bell to get it on the same day.

If it's like last year, the phone will be $50.00 cheaper @ Virgin. So get your phone from them if you are with Bell.

Do you have any information about the 32Gb version? Phone reservation is only available for the 16Gb model...
no scheduler about 32gb version
Hmm, Pre-Orders are open now, phoned several bell stores that confirmed they will have them in stock on April 27th.
It will be 699.95 Off contract or 199.95 on a 3 year contract or upgrade.
I cant post links but the infos on bells website
They will only be in stock for those with all the pre - order paperwork AND picture lD. And you must pick up the preorder before May 3. And you must prepay the entire amount. Can't wait!

Perhaps it depends on whether it's a Bell Store or another retailer. My receipt is very specific and the service person said for the last pre-order they got only exact numbers.

Is it available right now though? I was supposed to get mine Saturday. Got a call and $50 credit Friday and a text Saturday dating I could pick up in 2 days so I'm going Monday after work.

Country release timing

Is the timing of the respective countries releasing the new Gear as haphazard as their software updates.
In particular looking for a UK release date and actual prices in £s not the conversions being quoted.

Pre order in the UK on 29th October for availability for 12th November. S2 will be £249 and classic £50 more.
Good to see a date, although no clear when they ship - still stupid to launch a marketing campaign for something you could not even buy or pre order.

Official information about UK availability
As always no information on the Samsung uk website
More pricing confusion of the good variety though.

Release seems to be late in the UK for this?? You can always order from amazon.de using your same account info... Just a thought.
I am planning on getting one from amazon (US) and use it here in Europe.
Will there be any issues?
It's not like a phone where you have different bands - so I guess it should be no problem. But I also don't want to through 300 bucks out off the window.

The US version runs on a different firmware. Noticable differences are lack of different language support (OK if you're English or Spanish I guess?) and temperature is displayed in F and not C. Firmware updates may also be an issue...
Thanks.
Only English wouldn't be a problem. Fahrenheit could get annoying.
Is there a way to change firmware? Why should updates be an issue (US are always the first to get it)?
Cool thanks for the tip.

I imported one from amazon.com. Got here real quick and actually works out more expensive then what you will be paying in the UK. I can confirm that asking for weather reports always brings back results in Fahrenheit. One side note S-voice is terrible compared to android wear voice search.

I just bought a Gear S2 classic from Clove UK. About £20 more than Samsung online but Samsung won't dispatch for another fortnight. I like the watch but I think I will return it and carry on using my Gear S.

Any info on delivery of your Classic?
I ordered the Classic via Samsung with a voucher SAMUK5 for 5% off and possibly Quidco 8% - says card would not be billed until they confirm shipment but already charged my card !!!
Benefit of going Samsung direct is if it really is as crap as I think then it will be getting returned.

Canadian Galaxy s7 edge discussion

Hey guys,
I think we need our own thread to discuss about our preorders and future development related to our model.
so, I already preorder mine from Koodo and they are saying it should ship after March 17th. But, I'm hopping i receive it by march 11th. So, Those that made a preorder, what carrier and when will you be getting it?
Pre-order at Authorized Bell dealer. Put $50 deposit and will be in store pickup. Haven't heard any news/update with regards to when I will get my phone. Hoping for March 11 or earlier! How come Koodo shipping March 17th? Really disappointed that only black available for pre-order!
Pre-ordered with Fido. My position in line is 139. Down from 142 a few days ago.
If any Fido insider can shed some info on when it'll arrive for us, that would be greatly appreciated.
Pre-ordered at Samsung store. Unlocked and gold color. They told me black color will be available on Mar 11, ETA for gold and silver is Mar 28.
Pre-ordered my S7 Edge from Telus on their website, had to pay the full 500$ immediately to complete the order .. They sent me a link to a webpage with a link to follow to see where is our order status and it keeps telling that it is in processing and will be ship by march 11 .. And only black color is available for pre-order too from Telus :crying:
Pre-ordered from Rogers on Feb 24th. I'm 676th in line.
Could be a loooong wait. I remember getting a call from Rogers about picking up my pre-ordered Note5 about 9 days after I had walked into a store and bought one already. My guess is that Rogers (and the other carriers) won't start shipping until the 11th, then won't be in any hurry to get them to us pre-orderers.
That being said, a free Gear VR is worth an extra week or so of waiting.
Safe to say the ones sold in Canada will have the Snapdragon 820?

I pre-ordered from Bell...got a call this morning to verify my details. The tracking system suggests it'll be in the store within 1-3 business days.
Whether or not they'll actually let me have it that soon remains to be seen, but I sure hope so!
Pre-ordered from Rogers on February 23rd, 47th in line. Status still says open. Hopefully I'll have it by the 11th. You just never know with Rogers.

I preordered the S7 Flat from the Samsung Experience Store (Sherway Gardens).
After much thought, I ended up calling them and switching my order to the edge.
I'm kind of nervous about the screen getting scratched though since its so exposed... There isn't that many screen protectors out either on Amazon (CA)

There is probably like only 3-4 locations in all of Canada.
It's pretty cool though, you get a free Gear VR and 128 GB MicroSD card when you pre-order, plus its unlocked if you buy it out.

Looks like BestBuy USA is sold out. You can't pre order from there anymore. The Canadian site still shows it as available though.
If it cost $350 for the non LTE Frontier, that means it may cost $450 for the cellular enabled version. Guess we'll have to wait for the carriers to put up their preorder page.
The Best Buy Canada site shows a release date of November 18. Probably safe to expect that will be the US release date, too.

I can't imagine them selling out in a couple of hours, especially being a pre-order, but who knows.

Right now I have a 3G AT&T Gear S2. I am torn if I am going to keep non LTE Gear S3 or order one from AT&T when it becomes available. I feel that numbersync for calls doesn't work all time. Plus very rarely do I go out without my phone. I am not really sure if there is any great benifit to have the LTE version so I am up in the air

I, too, had the Gear S2 3G AT&T model. I never used the LTE/e-SIM option so I'm skipping the LTE versions of the Gear S3. I just need speaker, Samsung Pay MST, and GPS.

Tizen Experts posted on Twitter that Best Buy stopped the pre order because they ran out of stock.
Now, the good news is that Best Buy in the USA has started offering the next Tizen smartwatch for $349.99, that is for both the Gear S3 Classic and also the Gear S3 Frontier. We were overjoyed with this news as our American cousins do not like being left out when it comes to device launches. At that time the delivery date was rumoured to be around mid-November but it hadn’t been officially confirmed. Unfortunately all celebrations eventually have to come to an end and Best Buy now reports that the S3 has ran out of stock.

Tizen Experts posted on Twitter that Best Buy stopped the pre order because they ran out of stock.
Now, the good news is that Best Buy in the USA has started offering the next Tizen smartwatch for $349.99, that is for both the Gear S3 Classic and also the Gear S3 Frontier. We were overjoyed with this news as our American cousins do not like being left out when it comes to device launches. At that time the delivery date was rumoured to be around mid-November but it hadn’t been officially confirmed. Unfortunately all celebrations eventually have to come to an end and Best Buy now reports that the S3 has ran out of stock.

If this is true, I'm so happy I made the preorder cutoff. ?

How can they run out of stock that quickly!!!
If it's true, sounds like poor planning.
Maybe they had all their production workers making replacement Note 7's before the whole replacement thing fell through... lol
The Classic is back up for preorder!

Just got an email from Best Buy Canada that said the release date is now November 23rd?? Anyone get this?
Samsung Gear S3 Frontier Smartwatch with Heart Rate Monitor 23 Nov, 2016

Purchase Options: Best Buy - Amazon - Samsung

I am interested in pre-ordering the Gear S3, but wanting to purchase it with some type of Warranty Plan similar to Buy Buy's Protect Plan. Best Buy, however, is no longer taking Pre-Orders so now I am trying to decide if I should wait for Best Buy or just go ahead with Amazon or Samsung. My wife and I both had Motorolla 360's Gen 1, hers with the Protect Plan mine without but luckily when she had the infamous back cracking she was able to return/exchange it.
Anyone have any thoughts on it? I am thinking waiting for Best Buy may be best, bit no ideas when they might carry stock again.

You can get a warranty from Square Trade. It's expensive, a claim will cost about 1/3 the price of the watch, but it is available.
Thanks, I do not have experience with Square Trade but that may be an option. I may wait until Best Buy stocks it considering how well they do support their warranty program.

They are out of stock now for the Frontier at least, I went to Best Buy yesterday and the Geek Squad guy didn't know when they would get more in stock.
To be clear, Best Buy has run out of their initial pre-order allotment of the S3 Frontier model and it is now showing as "coming soon" rather than having a pre-order button.
The S3 Classic is still available for pre-order, and is functionally identical to the Frontier. The difference is in the style and finish.
As has been mentioned previously, the Frontier LTE version will be available through cellular carriers.
@Dodge DeBoulet Yes, that is more accurate. I want both, considering my day job and my weekend fun but I believe the Frontier to be more universal.

If you're in the US and can wait until November 20th, Samsung has the Frontier (Bluetooth) listed as a Black Friday special for $299 ... $50 off. Who knows when it will ship, though
Well that's interesting. I am in the US, I am now considering the LTE version as well and wondering when T-Mobile might have it. I just need to order it before the end of December.

I want the LTE version too, but Verizon is my provider. I can't get any information out of them as to whether they're even going to offer it. I may just end up going with the BT version if they don't announce something before 11/20.
I figure for the same price why not? So the major perk of the LTE device is you can make calls with the phone as well?
Still out of stock (This post claimed it was in stock 5 minutes ago because Best Buy let me put it into my cart, however removed it one I tried to pay for it)

Friday, the 18th. $399 plus $5 a month for data.
Anyone knows when it will be available in any european Amazon ?
I pre-ordered the non-LTE Frontier on Amazon for $349 and now it's $439. I have a suspicion my pre-order will be cancelled soon.
So, for those that are wondering whether or not Verizon will be carrying the LTE version of the S3 Frontier, I may be able to offer a ray of hope.
Bear with me ...
The model number of the AT&T version of this watch is SM-R765A
The model number of the T-Mobile version is SM-R765T
From the above, I'm going to hazard a guess that the model number of the Verizon version will be
(wait for it)
SM-R765V
And lookie here ... http://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00061443/
The same model number shows up in this article:

Dare we to hope?

You should still get it. Looks like Amazon has run out of their pre-order allotment and what you're seeing now is offerings from Marketplace sellers.
