anyone update about sound .. of the galaxy note is it same what galaxy s2 have or different than that ....////
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kunalparwani:
I personally feel that the sound through loudspeaker is quite low in volume... This is exacerbated by the default notification tone. Downloaded some loud tones from zedge, but music volume still a bit too low... Fingers crossed about whether it will be able to wake me up in the morning...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] JAT007:
now the shopowner[where i went yesterday] called me up and bought the FLIP CASE OF GALAXY NOTE and telling me that whenever u want to purchase i will definitely provide u the best price..........but there is no mentioning of FLIP CASE on his GALAXY NOTE BOX .......and he bought the original FLIP CASE and he opened it for me and i go throw it which is very good .....ultimate case cover ........

and also i checked there was written in sticker SAMSUNG INDIA ELECTRONICS NEW DELHI manufactured oct 2011 but there was no mentioning of FLIP CASE......is it still genuine ......what should i do shall i go to chandigarh and purchase it from there.....as the chandigarh SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS is charging 31500 and this person will not charge less than 33000......and moreover he was saying that if u r living in haryana its bettter to purchase from here so that it doesn't trouble u whenever u face problem related to service center....

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] my969:
Screen protectors ? Any suggestions guys?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vprabu:
Sound quality is really good and I am coming from iPhone / iPod. Loudspeaker, it depends on the sound level of the songs. For me it is very decent. Nothing to crib about. Alarm is also good enough to wake you up. However don't expect loud sound from the low end Sony ericssons.

Guys, don't worry too much about these things. I was in the same dilemma since I was dumping iphone for this and this is my first Samsung and the reviews caused me almost to cancel the buying. Finally I decided to buy it for the work purposes and let me tell you, this is new benchmark in mobiles and starts a new era. From the OS, it will always improve as there is a strong market demands. Since I use a lot of apps from AppStore (apple), I am missing a few apps. But most of the developers have ensured that they support android too.

I must tell you that now I am typing a lot and it is accurate.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vprabu:
IMO, may not be required.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] 一叶知秋:
may ask where you get it? i'm in gurgaon,but the shop offered 33500 after discounted.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bmunshi:
Dont go to the famous big market shops. Try with small but trusty sector shops, they are giving better deals.

Or go to some shop famous for selling in quantity.

I was surprised to see that it was available with all the retailers, Samsung has been pushing this device very strongly.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ankydu:
Sure. I got it from spice communication in sector 14 market gurgaon. Hes the cheapest one. He himself told me that i can enquire anywhere but hes the cheapest and indeed he is. Others are giving for 32k.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] JAT007:
friends i think the better price was provided at TGIP NOIDA i can see in those pics

they provided NOTE+BLUETOOTH HEADPHONE+CAR CHARGER+FLIP CASE IN 34900 rs what do u say......

i m waiting for 2 more days lets see what can i get the best from here in ambala and chandigarh :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] AnandA777:
I've been looking for a reasonably reputable website or store in India that will ship to the US. I have already checked buytheprice, adexmart, saholic, flipkart, and infibeam, and although some of them will ship to the US for some products, none of them will ship the Note to the US. (I also contacted letsbuy, still waiting on a response from them.)

Would anyone happen to know any other websites or large stores in India that might do so? Thanks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Chillz88:
Did u try eBay.in?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kunalparwani:
The alarm woke me up alright, but volume was pretty low and I ain't trusting it for my exam day, I'd suggest multiple alarms though...

I have a question...i dont know if i am asking too much...ah...

Will the OTG function detect my WD 500 gb external hard disk ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] azeter:

no doubt it huge, using it wid one hand nt possible for me but the note is suppperrr fast and no doubt D best handset in the market i guess i shld get use to the size eventually since it easily slips in my pocket.

bought it from mumbai bandra ( circuit city - 02226429001 contact person mihir) with the case for 32k.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cashif:
Guys, buy it from mobiles.sulekha.com.. Got it for 28490/- and expecting the delivery by Wednesday. Its a reputed site and have purchased two mobiles from them in the past 3 months, so no worries...

Also, @Indiaplaza.com it is available for 29,999/-Both the sites are trustworthy..

PS: I am in chennai!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] JAT007:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] santhosh pandit:
Got it yesterday @ 32000
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tintin1042:
any one frm kolkata ?????
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hiteshjuneja:
me too

even i took a chance by ordering it after watching a couple of other people buying it... none of us has received it as of now the order status remains as 'being processed' on sulekha... they mentioned 6 working days for shipment... i've already convinced myself that it might take at least 7 more days to receive it or may never receive it as the deal to buy the Note at Rs.28490 is just too good to be true but as i've read they buy their products from indiaplaza which are selling the Note at Rs29990... and sulekha has extra 1500 off from that price... so if indiaplaza deal is true, the sulekha deal might turn out to be true as well... will call them in the morning to double check and i highly doubt they will ship the flip case as it was not mentioned anywhere on that website...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vfxaravind:
I will be getting my note today :) Excited about it ! :)

But worried abt that i wont be able to get a scratch gaurd...

I will be trying to get a 7 inch tablet's screen gaurd and be cutting it to 5.3 inch...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] JAT007:
**** man!!! today samsung distributor called me regarding availablity of NOTE in AMBALA. he is quoting Just 31000 :( 1000 cheaper what i purchased :(.........chalo koi baat nahi.......................GALAXY NOTE is such a super sexy phone paying for it 1000 more is not bad also :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sunshine76:
what and where is the cheapest price so far in chennai
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Raghav1980:
Has anyone who bought from Mobiles.Sulekha.com got delivery of the Note yet? Was the whole process trouble free?

The price @ 28500 is just too tempting. But, I am holding off until I hear atleast 1 person's feedback.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hiteshjuneja:
nope... not yet...

i've placed an order with them... the process was trouble free... as the deal came live on the 18th which was friday... i ordered it late night on friday... and as sulekha gets their products directly from indiaplaza this process may be a time consuming one... i'm willing to wait till friday this week to receive the shipment details as they clearly state that it may take 6 business days for shipping the product... what concerns me is that if i do get this from them in time... will i also be receiving the flip case... if i dont... its fine for that price :P

and as most of the online deals doesn't count saturday or sunday as a working day or business day, technically speaking today is the first business day from which i've ordered... so it might take some time... its a risk i took knowing my money will be safe if anything goes wrong...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] iphadke:
Sulekha?!

Cool, so I finally found somebody who's ordered from here... I ordered on Friday, so expecting late this week. Did you check if they'll include the flipcase or not?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cashif:
Even I ordered on Friday night but I am much more optimistic than you and expect it by Thursday :). Actually, confidence is because I ordered two nokia phones last month and I received both the phones within 5 days.

Moreover, I think they have different suppliers and not Indiaplaza alone. As last time, one bill was from The Mobile Store and Other was from Mobile shoppe (who is an ebay buyer). I dont expect to receive flipcase and I am not bothered as I never use cover/scratch guards etc:p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hiteshjuneja:
the order status just got changed to 'ready to ship' from 'being processed' and the expected shipping date is for tomorrow i.e. 22 Nov 2011... lets see if i get the tracking info tomorrow... they are indeed fast... at least so far...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] krumbs:
Thanks guys! You saved me money. Was about to pay 32,400 (that too, all cash) for the Note. That is the best price I got after visiting some six shops.

Unfortunately, Maharashtra (I am in Navi Mumbai) has the highest taxation for mobile phones and electronics.

So instead, bought the Note off Sulekha.

Couple of questions:

1] What is the catch here? How can Sulekha sell so low? My local shop showed me his purchase order, and his "landing price" was 32,200.

2] Does the flip case come with the Sulekha offer? If not, will need to order one off ebay right away.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hiteshjuneja:
well if you've got a credit card at your disposal you can purchase the screen guard from international ebay sites... i've ordered one from the australia ebay website... 6xClear screen guards for AUD$2.60 with free shipping... though it may take about 15 days to reach here its worth it as you get 6 of them at roughly around Rs150-200 depending on what kind of charges does the credit card company applies on the foreign currency transaction... still it hardly comes to Rs 35 a piece...

and good luck with the experiment of cutting down the 7inch screen guard if you're actually going to do that...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] krumbs:
Want to send couple of those my way? Can pay you via netbanking transfer.

Also, this looks like an interesting options - rubber case plus protector. Has anyone here tried one of these?

http://orders.ebay.in/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ImportHubViewItem&itemid=160684469573

---------- Post added at 06:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:57 PM ----------

Folks,

Was looking around for a screen protector and back case. The flip case is nice, but not does not look convenient while taking calls.

Anyway, after checking various ebay sites, seems this is the cheapest deal around, with free shipping from China - http://www.ebay.com/itm/320775817748#ht_1260wt_1185

Bought two cases (one black, one white) along with two screen protectors (my record at applying screen protectors without dust or air bubbles is rather pathetic... hence went for two!)

Total cost came to Rs 540. For that price, I don't expect Otterbox or Seido level of quality, but it should suffice for a few months while the big case makers come up with their options.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] indie:
Anyone know anyone coming to the UK to london?. At the current exchange rate it works out to be a cracking deal !
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vprabu:
Are they imported ones and covered under Indian warranty?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Chillz88:
Got mine..:)...awesome..32k plus flipcase
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vfxaravind:
Got mine :) am impressed :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hiteshjuneja:
sure... pm me your address and i'll check the shipping charges to your place... if ur in delhi then we can meet as well... lets see when i receive them though... so far no confirmation of the shipping as i've ordered it yesterday... its a good seller with a very high rating and huge positive feedback... cheers!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xp3rto:
The deal at sulekha.com looks too good to be true. Waiting eagerly for someone who gets it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Raghav1980:
The price on Sulekha just increased by Rs700 to 29190!!! WTF!!!

damn Damn DAMN!!!

Hitesh... Did you get this yet??? Please tell me you got this already... Am going crazyyyyy!!!

NOTE......... Must.... Have.... Note.... AARRRGHHHH!!!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] krumbs:
My order, place yesterday afternoon, has had no status update since then. Hoping Sulekha does not cancel it!

Yes, wondering if anyone here actually got delivery from Sulekha. And if the package included the flip cover.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hiteshjuneja:
Raghav, i haven't received it yet... though on the order status page at sulekha it says its ready to ship... and expected shipping date is of today i.e. 22nd Nov... so most probably the tracking info should be updated by tomorrow if they do go ahead and ship this... i'm getting impatient as well... but so far they've done alright... and they did mention the estimated shipping time can take about 6 business days depending on different delivery locations... so i'm going to wait till that 6th working day as i really have no other choice as i've already paid :P but things sure seem fishy when i try to call their customer support... the lines are busy today as well... so if by the end of this week i dont have any kind of tracking info for this... i'm going to claim a chargeback with my credit card issuer... just hoping i dont have to do this though...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
Just ordered my note from Sulekha last night, for 28490, and today morning the prices in creased.

Unable to get in touch with them, I contacted there corporate office, where a lady disconnected twice, finally I reached a guy, on whom I was furious about the whole delay thing, he stated righaway, it takes 3 days to dispatch and another 3 days to deliver. He was willingly ready to cancel my order. And they are not giving the pouch...

---------- Post added at 05:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:35 PM ----------

On further digging found out, they are sourcing through mobile store. Reduced price could be due to no leather pouch as well, what say people ? Hoping it comes through this week.. Sulekha buyers, please announce on receipt..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hiteshjuneja:
finally spoke to them...

well after trying a few times i finally got through to one of the customer care agents at their #180030001515... they mentioned that it will be shipping from bangalore and it shall be shipped by tonight and the shipping info shall be updated by tomorrow... also, the flip cover will not be sent as he said whatever is mentioned in the deal will be sent... as the flip cover is not mentioned so it will not be sent... hope this info helps a few fellow buyers... :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] JAT007:
what the hell man.......... :P ......U ALL R STILL WAITING FOR note .....go grab it at whatever price but not more than 32000............:D .......what the use if u r not able to get it before 30 nov :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hiteshjuneja:
well it'll be still worth it if we DO get it by then :P

as i'm sure it will still be more than Rs28490 by then... maybe still somewhere around 31k mark...

and personally i'm not a fan of any kind of covers... so if they are not giving the flip cover and lowering the price... its better that way for me :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SAlmighty:
I'm noticing most of the Indian Galaxy Note's are coming from China instead of Korea like other international purchases. Can someone confirm this? Check your devices post your feedback here!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Chillz88:
All of the notes in india are from china.. Even my old s2 was from china.. Its the same.. Doesnt matter
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] karthi17keyan:
I got mine yesterday @ 31.8k with the flip case. Made in Korea, piece.

Seems okay so far... but not sure about the battery
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Raghav1980:
So, I couldn't wait any longer & took the plunge. I placed the order with Mobile.Sulekha.com.

I am in Bangalore, so lets see how long it takes to reach me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
Just called Sulekha, I had placed my order on 21st, they are shipping mine tonight, thats what they said. Waiting impatiently...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] iphadke:
Sulekha... I ordered on 18th but it still shows as processing ... I shortly going to call them- hopefully this time around I'll get through! !
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] krumbs:
My order was also placed on the 21st. So if they are shipping yours, I suppose they are shipping mine, too. :) Fingers crossed.

And how on earth did you manage to connect with them? I have been trying their toll free number, but nobody seems to be at the other end...

Thanks, but the operator kept bouncing me from one line to another. Bottom line - nobody took the call. But this was at 6.30pm. Will try again tomm during regular hours.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cashif:
I was so confident of having the phone by now but no response yet from sulekha. If I had known shipping would take so much time, I would have bought the phone from stores paying 1k-2k extra. I feel so cheated:(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Dragooon123:
No, I got it from ebay for 820$, and you have to pay 3% custom duty.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Chillz88:
Dude.. that's expensive.. Its just 449 GBP at handtec now which is about 35,000rs without the shipping charges.. and since the preorder rates are getting cheaper, it will b cheaper when it lands in India too... Maybe about 33,000- 37,000rs,i guess... And besides we all could have mass ordered to get it cheaper... U could have saved atleast 5000rs and would have got Indian warranty too ..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Dragooon123:
Shipping was like another 6-7k. It costed me more or less the same.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ankydu:
Very true. anywayz will be updating this thread once gnote is readily available in india. I request all indian members to hold their horses, please pm me all your names who wish to group buy, only then we can get a good deal.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Dragooon123:
450 pounds is 37k when you actually convert it through a bank or foriegn exchange. Shipping from handtec via FedEx is another 40 pounds which is about 3200 Rs. I paid about 41k total(shipping was free). So I only paid 800 Rs extra.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sunshine76:
launch happening now

Price Rs 34,990 in India
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Dragooon123:
Galaxy Note is set at 34.5k. Not bad, still by the time it retail its price will be inflated by 15-20%.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Chillz88:
It's gonna b available within a week.. for 34,990 at retail stores
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Dragooon123:
They said within a week?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Chillz88:
Yeah.. they didn't say the date yet.. I am listening to it right now.. the Samsung director said that it will b available within a week..:)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kunalparwani:
MRP. is only 35k... so selling price around 34k?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Chillz88:
Yeah.. might decrease more when it comes to retail shops.. and may we could group buy for further reduction..;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kunalparwani:
We tried a group buy for Galaxy S II, but in the end it came out to be @ 29,990, exactly the market price, with delivery on 9th June, exactly the release date. So, I pulled out and saw the phone for myself , made sure it had no dead pixels or anything, and then bought it. Problem is, when you try to broker this deal, its in the week before the device comes out and these online retailers think that they can make a quick buck by calling MRP as discounted price because shops offer these before due date at a higher price. Unless somebody can get a really good deal, this does not seem like a great idea.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Chillz88:
Hmm.. I got my galaxy s2 on June 2nd only for 30k.. we will see.. let the device come out first.. and then we can all ask the best deals from each of our places.. and the one where we get the best from, we will buy.. but maybe you are right.. let's wait and see.. everyone should check the prices at their locality and post it here when its available... :)

What about at your place??

Looking forward to the beast
