Oddly enough I have not heard any reported sales yet in Ahmedabad nor all over India. I'm still hearing the date of 19th / 20th and not 17th or 18th.

CHENNAI Update:

Univercell guys called. 33000/- with flip-case free. Poorvika hasn't called yet but will hopefully get it tomorrow.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rockrag:
Guys i had inquired at the Samsung Smartphone Outlet in Gopalapuram four days back and they quoted between 34~35k and the launch being on 18th. But at that time i wasn't aware of the free flip cover which Samsung had announced. So tomorrow i will go and ask them again about the price and flip cover if it has launched. Will let you guys know.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vprabu:
Any discount on group purchase?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kunalparwani:
Even Univercell has a better price :p And it's supposed to be the priciest. Anyways, i'm at IIT now, so will probablyswing by tomorrow and pick it up, but not without checking with Poorvika first 'cause I have bought about 6-7 handsets from them and have had a generally good experience.

---------- Post added at 08:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 PM ----------

Dunno, I didn't ask. Maybe we can try to bargain. BTW, how many people are willing to come all the way to anna nagar to pick it up? Maybe not many, so we might not be able to form a large group. Do you think they will give a discount if we buy 2 pieces together? Highly likely I think...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vprabu:
I am in Saligramam and I should be coming out of my office (OMR) say around 5pm or so. Should be fine. PM your number I will do the same.

They might definitely consider a sale that reaches a lakh and might throw in say screen guard free. You never know. Check with Poornima as wetland let us know.

Congrats to all who have received their notes.

Just wanted to ask are any of the Indian Notes suffering from discoloured/ tinged screens like some of the European guys are complaining about?

TIA
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rockrag:
Hi, I know the Samsung outlet is expensive. Yet I'll confirm the price tomorrow. I don't mind other outlets anywhere in Chennai but i need the flip cover free with it within 32.5k. That's my margin. Has it launched already? Tomorrow probably is my deadline. Otherwise i will have to buy it from Bangalore as I will be going there by late night. Does Univercell provide the free flip cover? Keep me informed.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dines2:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Oneiricl:
Thanks! The Andheri store had it today but for 34k. So I thought I'd wait... this sounds perfect...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ambition8753:
Here you go..! a quick one though..!

Loving it till now.. its fast.. smooth..! Videos look awesome..!

Sound is also pretty loud.. (i find it extra loud cause my other phone is E72 :P )

I am using android for the 1st time, and finding it really good..

There was one instant of tinged screen, the colours got messed up.. and I did get scared, but a reboot and it was fine.. Looked like more of a OS issue.. I also had not updated it. (There is a 0.8 MB update waitin as soon as u check for updates)

and yeah.. the S-PEN is just too goood..!

All in All.. in love with the device.. rather.. The Beast..! :-)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Chillz88:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kunalparwani:
I might go home(Anna Nagar) tomorrow(technically today, 18th), if there is no extra chemical technology lab session :p (Most probably won't be :D ) I'll leave at 5, shall be home by 6:45, will change and head to both Univercell and Poorvika by about 8. Let's see if we can bargain. BTW dines2, are you willing to come all the way to Anna Nagar?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] richie_says:
Will visit R City tomorrow evening after calling them to check in whether confirmed delivery possible. Suggest that if you could also check some other local shops who could possibly bundle a better deal. Or do you suggest we stick to Samsung shop itself?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vprabu:
Sure Dinesh. I will SMS shortly.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vprabu:
Free Bluetooth offer for Samsung note in view of Univercell's 15th anniversary. There is also reebok glasses offer ;-) check TOI today.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Oneiricl:
I'm also up for R City if you want. 33k is reasonable to me... the only better deal I've been told of is 32k but he doesn't even know for sure when delivery will happen.. Will keep you updated.

I have no problems buying from other shops, but the Samsung store seems to have got stock first (in the western line at least).

PS Could you share the number of the store? I didn't take it down the other day since I thought it would be more convenient in Andheri..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rdosti:
That's kind of what I said earlier on. Congratulations to those who finally made it to the Note!

Enjoy your piece !
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gv.chaitanya8:
Hey,

I am from Hyderabad.

I couldnt get in Samsung Store or in Sangeetha mobiles.

Where did you buy? I mean in which shop in Hyd?

Any free Goodies?:)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rdosti:
Ahmedabad will receive stock today evening and will go on sale on 19/20th as expected.

Samsung India has suggested that official sales have still not begun in India and is set for 19th / 20th. So if you got your piece please check its authenticity.

However they have acknowledged that some areas may have been leaked out packages earlier.

Also the package must come with the flip cover to be authentic since this is indeed part of the initial package!

Prices quoted to be 32,600 Rs.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Oneiricl:
Where are you getting this from?

The Samsung Flagship store in Andheri, Mumbai had this phone yesterday i.e. 17th November. The other Flagship in R City Mall, Mumbai is getting it today i.e. 18th November.

Edit: They have it on sale. not just in stock. Please clarify why anyone should worry about authenticity... especially when the official Sammy stores have it on sale already.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bmunshi:
Have you got it? Now they have increased the price as well.

Today we are all meeting together and going in for the raid of the Galaxy Note. All of you provide me your contact numbers. As kunalparwani said by 7~8 we will purchase together.

And vprabu which Univercell provides the bluetooth offer? Is the flip cover included? We will buy together and bargain.

Contact me ASAP.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rdosti:
I have received 8 calls right now.

Ahmedabad is on sale and so is the rest of India!

Prices on cash start from around 30,500 to 34,000 to the inexperienced buyer.

I received the an offer of Rs. 31,000 today from The Mobile Store .

Add 1.6% for credit card charges if any for the best possible pricing with all accessories.

If you are paying more - go ahead but do beware there are better prices.

PS - everyone seems to have got it this morning / noon here.

Anyone from Ahmedabad may PM me for my personal contact number if they want to go with a bulk purchase.

Though Im already covered, I have a few colleagues who are grouping up now ;)

The sale has begun!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
It is available now in Gujarat(rajkot)

usual pric they offer 32500K, but you can bargain upto 31000K confirmed
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ywnmmsb:
If you see all the online website.... Flipkart.com, letsbuy.com have In stock in description. So i guess most of them have received the stock.

I have booked on letsbuy.com thinking that they would receive delivers faster then other people as they have a tie up with samsung.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] paulodonfather:
Its pretty good that outside Mumbai prices range from 31k onwards..here in mumbai nobody is willing to come down below 33k, :mad: if any shop is giving it less than that pls keep us informed....;)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Oneiricl:

This seems to be the frontpager. This deal's there for Pune too, and probably other cities as well. I thought Sulekha was a classified website? Since when have they started selling stuff?!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rockrag:
Success Success! Group Buy Success! 5 of us bought the Note in Chennai together. We got heavy discounts. Try your group buy at Planet M, TTK Road, Alwarpet. Advice: Get into groups of 3 or more for maximum discount.

Congrats to vprabu, kunalparwani, dines2, Fazil and myself for our success in getting the cheapest Note in Chennai.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ankydu:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] iphadke:
Sulekha deal

Hmm... The payment link's broken. Tried both CC and Netbanking. Also, who's the merchant? Doesn't show anywhere... Too good to be true?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bmunshi:
Tried at different shops in Gurgaon, No one is willing to sell less than 34,500/-

Does anyone know when it will be available with Spice Hotspot and The Mobile Store.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] iphadke:
Best deals all offline?

So it appears that all the best deals are in respective cities. I checked letsbuy, flipkart etc, all the usual suspects. No deals to be found there. The cheapest I could go was on an ebay.in listing (33,330) which comes out to roughly 32590 after applying the Rs 750 ICICI coupon.

There's also a listing on the Sulekha website, though not sure if that's legit - the price is too low - 28490 to be true?!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] yuvichb:
it was for around 31.5 grands...and yes...the flip case is absolutely blissful...!

Pulled the trigger on Sulekha

Well, I just pulled the trigger on the Sulekha deal. Does seem too good to be true, so we'll see. To be on the safe side I used a CC so I can dispute it in case they try and screw me. Anyone else done this? I found a few folks on desidime who seemed to have ordered, though no one who actually got it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Oneiricl:
33k and yes, a nice black leather flip cover came with it. The box also had a prominent and large sticker saying please pick up your free flipcase with this phone...

This website has a summary of 10-12 :D places online where one can find the Note at various prices. Oh, and there's a lively discussion on the Sulekha deal as well.

2)is the flipcase included in the box or dealer providing separately.

3)what if there is no mentioning of sticker of flip case what should i do

4)what are the accessories we will be getting with purchasing of note :D

5)should i go for online or retail market purchase if retail market is asking much.:)

6)will i wait for 1 week more so that its price becomes stable i mean comes down to saturated value

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vprabu:
1. As we see the best price varies. If you can bargain and get it for 32k it is good.

2. And 3. Flip case is given by Samsung and it is marked on the case and it is complementary. Dealer must give it to you. I don't think it will be different in your place. Make sure that it says Samsung India

4. Nothing but headset and travel adapter.

5. & 6. Your choice ;-)

7. I am in Chennai ;-) so unable to help
