[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Unsinkable II:
Goodness! What a long thread!

I was pleased with my purchase price... HK$5,600 including the flip cover, a 16GB card, and full HK Samsung warranty.

I do like this phone. I haven't enjoyed a phone this much since the original iPhone, and before that the coolest thing was my first NEC brick in 1991! I still have it somewhere, along with 3 B&W Macintosh's from the same era (they're easier to find!)

A good site to check HK prices is price dot com dot hk
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] drjoeamberd:
Where did you buy it. can u give me the link
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] koniakki:
Sure. www.Amazon.de.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hhspiny:
NewEgg has GNote in stock $789

$789 in newegg, certainly not the cheapest, but most reliable one. and when newegg says it is in stock, I tend to believe them.

It did not mention warranty, but as it is newegg, I would assume it comes with standard US warranty, otherwise newegg would have mentioned it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Twohothardware:
Galaxy Note hasn't been released in the US yet so it wouldn't have a US warranty. It's likely the same Polish or German EU version that most everyone else is selling.

I just got my European N7000 (box shows ".pl") Note for $650usd in Shanghai. I passed on the HK version which was $680usd. I doubt anyone here is in Shanghai and need a recommendation for the place I went to, but if so pm me for the info, it's a killer deal for early adopters. I bought a 3rd party 1 year warranty/insurance for it, as these gray market phones didn't come with warranty cards.

In comparison, the retail Chinese version (i9220) with all the "legal" taxation at a Samsung store here goes for 5999rmb or $945usd.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] wilsonliang777:
Bestnydepot.com Samsung Note for $610 is a no go. I placed an order for the Note last friday night and got order cancelation on monday morning. The reason for the cancelation was because they are OUT OF STOCK.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Twohothardware:
Handtec has lowered their price to £434.99 exc VAT so I don't see any reason to be buying from anywhere else as this is the lowest price I've found from a reputable dealer, especially when you take into account the fast delivery and coverage of the 2 year Samsung warranty.

http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.php/5504/samsung-galaxy-note--16gb--sim-free-unlocked-

It's not worth it to save a few bucks ordering from some questionable dealer if you have to turn around and buy a third party warranty when you could just get the 2 year Samsung warranty honored through authorized resellers like Handtec and Expansys. Then on top of it you get to wait longer to receive your device. Both of my orders from Handtec shipped and were delivered the next business day by FedEx here in the States.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cashif:
Guys, the cheapest price I've found out is www.india plaza.com. I'm not sure whether they shop outside but the cost is only Rs. 30, 000/- (roughly $ 595) based on current value today. Once you add to cart the payable amount decrease from 690 to 595..

I'm in india and gonna take the plunge today. Its a reputable site and have purchased many times from them.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] froggiedroid:
Totally digital online

Sorry if I wasn't clear enough for some.

Yes TOTALLY DIGITAL ONLINE shows off an attractive B4 tax price !!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] WillEat4F00d:
How does Handtec handle warranties? If I were to receive a lemon from them, would I be able to send it back to them for an exchange, or do I have to go through Samsung?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] AnandA777:
That's the best price that I have seen so far by ~2000 Rs. Unfortunately, while it looks like they do ship Internationally for at least some things, I tried to advance in the cart with the Note, the page returned a message that the item could not be delivered to my Pin Code (United States address).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] padlad:
If my memory serves me right, if the new purchased product fails within the first 30 days, then it is the sellers responsibility to replace it, as it is 'not fit for purpose'.

Well, I have taken the plunge and ordered off Amazon.de, supposed to be delivered on Tuesday. Cost me approximately £454 including vat and delivery.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] drelle:
Just a quick heads up. The Note is cheap here: http://www.meinpaket.de/de/91893613/highlights.html

My german is not that good; anyone knows whether it's possible to order this outside Germany but within EU??
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] speedofheat:
^^ I used Google Translate and according to the site's help page, they do not ship outside Germany.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cashif:
Have finally bought it from mobiles.sulekha.com for $563 (Rs. 28,940/-). It is the cheapest available in India and expecting it by wednesday. Payment is already approved and shipping is under process. :woohoo:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rigurat:
I've read most of the threads here, not many very interested in the Amazon US site.

I can't post the link but I'm sure you can find it yourselves.

Best price is about $730 plus a small shipping fee, shipped straight from the US so no international complications.

Someone brought up NewEgg which is expensive but reliable, a lot of other posts about the UK or DE version of Amazon, is something wrong with the USA Amazon? No one seems to be talking about buying the Note from there.

I'm hoping to get mine on Amazon, but I'm waiting for the 32GB version, hoping it comes out before Christmas. (don't count on it huh?)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] AnandA777:
I just pulled the trigger with Handtec for 433.98 GBP (683.34 USD) including shipping to the US. They had them in recently, but the Note is now listed as "due in soon - taking preorders". (I assume that they did the price drop when they ran out.) If you are purchasing from outside the UK, note that some credit cards charge a 3% fee for cross-currency transactions. (Capital One doesn't, my credit union card doesn't.)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PolishDude:
Yeah I just ordered another one through paypal and noticed I'm actually getting charged $697! Wonder how much my b of a card charges?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] AnandA777:
3% for all International transactions, even if done entirely in USD. Details about most major US banks can be found here.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] drelle:
Hi Anand,

how did you get it at that price?? For me it's around 500gbp from thier website and not the 430gbp you mention.

EDIT: Sorry, I saw that your price is ex VAT.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] claude4:
Kind of off topic but don't these phones come with European power plugs? Where do you get the US power plug adapter?

Thanks,
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jUsT2eXy:
Hey. I think some companies such as Handtec give US customers free adapters? Please don't quote me on this...I think I read that within this thread.. if not then for some reason that thought was in my head...

Otherwise look here:

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_s...ro+to+usa+adapter&x=0&y=0&sprefix=euro+to+usa

They are very cheap. Hope that helped ^

:p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PolishDude:
They didnt give me a plug but i just used an old iphone plug I had
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Twohothardware:
I didn't get a US plug on either of my Handtec orders. You'll have to just purchase one separately if you order from Handtec. Like you said, they're not very expensive.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] claude4:
Thanks top you both, Amazon is likely where I wll buy the G Note and P Dair case and now the us A/C adapter.

I do not think I can hold off long enough hoping AT&T will carry the Note with a contract.

Thanks Again.

They're now popping up on ebay.

In (ebay) Australia the "best" deal is Black + Local + WTY = AU$630+

With a 32GB microSD its AU$690+

I'm taking the plunge for the $690 because its a trusted seller and I need a 32GB microSD (and this one is Sandisk = trustable company).

All the online prices are about US$650-700 and that's IF they have stock left... plus Shipping varies from $30-60, and some charge a small conversion fee. Bloody ridiculous!

That's the cheapest in the world!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Kangal:
AU$575.95

Free shipping Australia-wide.

I would say I can help you out and buy it/post it to you but I think the shipping costs to your country will negate the savings. There's only 8 hours left for the deal for anyone interested.

I wish I saw this before purchasing my one, would've saved AU$50!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bubblesmoney:
loads of swiss websites have this priced lower, a few days ago on new years night it was available on one website with free flip cover for (370£) 544francs with 9francs for delivery. But i emailed them whether they will deliver to the UK and promptly they upped their price to 590francs and later got email saying they dont deliver to UK, not sure if this has EU warranty or only swiss warranty. the website i saw it priced at about £370 was http://www.soundgarden.ch/product_info.php?products_id=61872296 and alll price conversions was done on forex trading website (official website for conversion rates used by uk home office) http://www.oanda.com/currency/converter/

many websites in switzerland seem to have similar prices, see price comparison website from switzerland used by uk expatriates http://www.toppreise.ch/index.php?a=245367

got tired of waiting and emailing people so have placed an order with amazon.de for 510euros but paid in euros on my credit card as visa offers conversion about 419£ while amazon conversion charges 447£ for same amount so amazon currency converter is a rip off so disable automatic conversion in settings menu on amazon if you use amazon.de to import to the UK.

but there was an even better deal with contract a few days ago where many in the UK got it for 360£ (after cashback + removing data bolt on etc) for the entire length of the contract!!! but deal no longer available. deal was posted recently on hotukdeals website although that deal quickly expired and i no longer seem to be able to find it

Didnt see this deal before it expired but a cracking deal none the less.

virgin mobile or virgin broadband customers in the uk seem to be getting a good deal on getting sgs2 and sgs note on awesome deals from what i can remember from some posts on hotukdeals but am not a virgin customer so havent kept track of those. From what i can remember they were better than most other deals i have seen for these phones.

I'm in the UK and just placed an order with amazon.de for a total price including VAT and delivery of 561 Euros. At today's excahnge rates that comes to £484.67 using rates from xe.com. I'm sure I will pay a little more than that once the conversion hits these shores, but it seems a major saving on supplies from within the UK. I note that Expansys are offering a "European" version with adapter plug for £550. I hope to undercut that by around £50 once all is said and done.

I hope it was not a mistake to order from Amazon.de. The supplier is Amazon themselves. If I have overlooked something and should not have ordered from Germany please can someone shout before it's too late to cancel. Many thanks. :)
