I've just been told on the phone to Three that they have the Note in stock, but it'll be in testing until "the second or third week of November".

Then they'll be selling it on their rather brilliant "One Plan", which gives you 2000 minutes, 5000 texts and genuinely unlimited data. £35 or £40 a month. Think i'll be waiting for that to come along...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] flst2000us:
Well I started reviewing my order that I placed this morning from the top of this forum stating they had 71 units available. When I placed my order Expansys stated they 40 something units. But reviewing my order status at first said 7 days to ship and now says 3 days to ship. The other weird part is the invoice I received states that the device is in stock: tem / Stock Qty Price Total

------ ---------------------------------------- --- ------- --------

221962 Galaxy Note 16GB 1 458.32 458.32

In Stock

Lends me to think they really did not have 71 units available. If you ordered from this forum then I suggest checking you order status.. Sounds kinda like bait and switch.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] siamchen:
I pre ordered from expansys since 12th Oct and the order status changed few times but nothing happened. Now, it says in stock but still doesn't want to ship to me. I now think they are providing fake information to their customers for getting order in.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gede:
That is also my experience.

That, and they ask for your personal AND credit card information over a NON encrypted connection....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] htc6500uk:
I placed an order for one of their "in stock" ones and received a confirmation late this afternoon that it had been shipped. I paid for next day delivery and made it a condition of my order that I had delivery on 1st November.

Here is the status........

I have now used the DHL tracking and found that it looks like it was in stock but not in the UK as it was collected from Expansys at 16:41 GMT in Marseille, France.

However, it left the DHL depot at 20:00 GMT so everything may be fine and I will get it as promised. Unless they are sending me something I didn't order, it appears to be on its way.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Quinny899:
They're probably sending you the adapter with a "its not in yet" note
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] straxusii:
I placed my order on the 26th, when I phoned Friday they said they would be getting more Monday. Today I had the email saying my preorder had been fulfilled and confirm I still want it.

Then I noticed them come into stock on the main website.

Mine is shipped and currently in France, hopefully it will get to the UK overnight :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rodjordan:
I had a similar experience with expansys. I feel a bit let down. Still not shipped my pre order, showing stock in the website and on the phone they say theres no stock and it will be in stock again friday :-( . Perhaps I will go amazon next time.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] flst2000us:
Well now I’m more confused.. I sent an email to them asking what i could do to expedite the order as well asking why there is a no change in my status even though it showed in stock.

They came back and said that I could pay more for the expedite and that my total bill was $911 before adding the faster shipping. which is not correct as that the price conversion is $734 Total. As well the website shows they have 86 in stock right now.

This place sounds like a scam, I canceled two other orders as I thought this site had it in stock as well was ready to ship. Big mistake on my part. I’m going to email the other Companies and find out if they have the device in stock before buying.

I do not mind having to pay a little more for the device but not $300 over retail then add more for expediting the device. ??????
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] siamchen:
Their stock status has been changed from 91 to 71 then sold out and now it's 86. All happened in the last 12 hrs. So, can you believe them. Also, I called them and the lady told me it's in stock and will ship to me in Monday, but nothing happened.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Bigmille:
Just to let you guys know it is French Bank holiday tomorrow, so their warehouse will be closed for a day, maybe even their office.

Don't be too upset if there is no shipping update or anyone answer phone calls tomorrow.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] BarryH_GEG:
Expansys' inventory display isn't real-time. So they may have them and show sold out or not have them and show them available. It gets really hairy when the site is hit by tons of people buying at the same time as inventory isn't decrimented. They're good people and stand behind what they sell but their ordering and shipping processes are from the 80's.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] flst2000us:
Nope I sent her a cancel letter.. Too many weird things about that site, at least they never even hit my Amex but I will be watching to see if they do. I went with Negri Electronics as they do have them in stock and ready to ship. Tired of playing games and just want the device.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] blobotorian:
i was prepared for the 3 day waiting period. I was not prepared for the 5 day holdup caused by some bank mix-up. so sad.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] benzito55:
went with Negri as well

Should be with me by Wed/Thu at the latest, use the code sb35offjkh to get 35 bucks off brings the price to below 800 bucks (780)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] htc6500uk:
Well something is certainly on its way - it looks like its avoided the French holiday as it's now in Germany. According to Google maps/Navigation, even if they come by road it will be with me later today - here's hoping!

UPDATE

08:50 GMT - Note arrived safely with UK power adaptor in addition the the European one that was already in the box. The Note defaulted to German but easily changed. All I can say is wow! Especially pleased with Sat Nav as it obviously uses both the US GPS system AND the Russian GLONASS system at the same time. I'm currently inside my house and locked onto 13 satellites! Well done Samsung and DHL for getting it here from Marseille so quickly.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] straxusii:
Same here, checkout the carbon footprint :eek:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] be_vigilant:
Expansys what a joke.

I ordered when it was shoing 60+ in stock at 13:30 and paid for next day delivery in the UK. At 20:45 I get an email asking for proof of address even though it is being delivered to the cardholders address, me!

Called them up this morning to complain why it took so long to request the extra bit of info and that next day delivery was now useless. I asked if I provided proof of address today would it ship today.

"I am very sorry sir we cannot ship that item for another 2 days"

Sounds like they are playing quick and fast with my money. Didnt sound like they had physical stock.

Asked for a full refund. Not dealing with cowboys. :eek:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] htc6500uk:
As you will have seen from previous posts, they certainly did have stock - albeit in Marseilles but at least two of us got them today as promised after ordering yesterday afternoon. We also saved about £50 or more on the price that some UK sellers are listing it at. Sorry to hear of your problems - I think Expansys may be too reliant on automated systems and your card problem should have been picked up by them immediately - they shouldn't have waited several hours before contacting you - by which time all the stock had gone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Bigmille:
You are very lucky, I also ordered one from them around 2pm yesterday using paypal with optional next day delivery. Phoned them around 3:30pm to check if it will be shipped on the same day, only to be told by a lady at the other end it will not be shipped untill Wed. So wasn't happy and canceled my order, end up buying another one from Amazon.de for £48 cheaper.

P.S. Got paypal refund from Expansys this morning, if they can only ship out item as quick as they do refund. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] be_vigilant:
Just ordered from Amazon.de

£500.58p and 2 day delivery time. Paid with the exact same card as expansys and its gone straight through no messing. I really think expansys were trying to pull a fast one.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] qazzi76:
Same thing happened to me.

Exactly the Same thing happened to me.

Expansys are a joke... They sent me an email at 2045 last night asking for proof of address... even though its being sent to the cardholders address - I also paid the £5 extra for next day delivery...

So obviously they had no intention of shipping it to me as indicated on their site.

Their site said 87 in stock, next day delivery if order placed before 1600hrs, they even charge £5 something extra for next day delivery - I order at 1300hrs and pay for next day delivery then they send me an email at 2045hrs last night asking for proof of address and that the order will not ship without it!!

I upload the documents at 2200hrs when I got home and this morning when I called them as the order status hadn't updated from "proof of address" they state they haven't got my documents or their order system hasn't processed it...

I will be cancelling my order with them too as Expansys are clearly a SCAM. (Done deliberately for SEO purposes)

Also it doesn't matter if people some people on here got their devices... I am quite sure many others experienced this.

Expansys are not clear up front and clearly aren't ethical.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] siamchen:
Just received email from expansys says they are not going to deliver to Australia from UK. There Australia site sale for $70 more. So sad for that. I will not going to buy it before Xmas and wait to see how the price drop in the next few months.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DMax99:
wow...so unfair...how can they cancel your order when you've preorder it quite a while ago.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] straxusii:
Mine's now turned up, lovely piece of kit
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DMax99:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vinokirk:
Could you post some pics, perhaps an unboxing vid for us xda'ers?

Are you in the UK? Did you get a German version? Did you order from Expansys?

---------- Post added at 08:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:55 PM ----------

£500??? You got a link for that deal?!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fudge2011toffeebar:
I just ordered from german amazon, tried twice with expansys aswell and I was in their first batch then their second. much better. 2-3 days standard. but i could do with knowing that it'll get signed for :P

---------- Post added at 11:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:46 PM ----------

do you think they're going to be signed for? it just said standard delivery. :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Bigmille:
Here is the link I used, it is sold by Amazon and not 3rd party. My total came to £509.15 inc delivery using Amazon currency converter. Maybe a bit cheaper if using your bank's currency rate.

http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B005SYZ4SQ

Ordered my on Monday night, should ship out tomorrow and be here on Friday or Saturday.

The checkout process is the same as Amazon UK, just use Google Translate and copy and past the content of each page.

http://translate.google.com/#auto|en|

I'm sure for such expensive item Amazon will use tracked delivery service. Otherwise they are liable for non-delivery clams if they can't show proof of succesful delivery.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fudge2011toffeebar:
mine came to £500.33 inc 6 eur delivery standard rate. they didn't give me another delivery option. Was your delivery standard, guy above? :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Bigmille:
My only delivery option was 2-3 days for about 7 eur. I'm sure it will be tracked.

Did you brought yours from Amazon or 3rd party?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fudge2011toffeebar:
i bought it from the same amazon.de as you did :) . yeh 7 euros rouphly to england. fingers crossed we have to sign. I've no idea how to track though the german amazon site though,,any success? let me know if you had to sign
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dannstarr:
I ordered mine on 31st expecting next day delivery, they pulled the "additional id required" trick on me, which I provided immediately.

I then had to wait out yesterday due to the French bank holiday. They now tell me they have shipped my item, but no tracking details have been provided.

Is that normal, and can I expect it to be here tomorrow?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Bigmille:
Sometimes tracking is not available untill few hrs after the courier picked up the item.

I'd cancel from Expansys is you still can, and buy from Amazon.de site, it's the same phone but cost £500 inc delivery. If you order it today, you might get it on Saturdays if you're lucky or Monday the latest.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gede:
I don't see how anyone would order from a company (Expansys) that wants you to send your personal and credit card details over a non encrypted connection... (no https !!!)

Any hacker can read it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] straxusii:
Their checkout is HTTPS for me mate.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gede:
Well, when I pre-ordered (cancelled later) I had to supply details (also credit card) without https.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] inurb:
Why would you ever give up credit card info on a non encrypted connection?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Bigmille:
I got an email from Amazon.de 20 mins ago telling me the phone is shipped and will be here tomorrow. They are using City Link for delivery so it will require a signature.

There is also a City Link ref number so you can track it on the courier site.

So it seems Amazon.de is doing next day delivery to the UK, not bad for £6.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] be_vigilant:
Also received tracking information from Amazon.de
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Bigmille:
There is a problem with Amazon delivery, according to Amazon.de the phone is in Milton Keynes for delivery today. But on the City Link site, the phone has not left the collection Depot in Germany. :confused:

According to City Link phone support, it is likely the phone has not been collected by them from Amazon, so I need to phone them again tomorrow to see if the phone is on one of their delivery van.

Think I'll cancel if the phone don't get here today, and wait for few days to see if there are more price drops.

My Tracking History on City Link site only display this info, what does your history show?

02/11/11	17:09	These goods have been scanned at the collection Depot and are now on route to the delivery Depot.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fudge2011toffeebar:
mine says it is going to local depo today and was expected to be delivered before 5.30 today. it was only expected delivery though and amazon.de said the 4th or 5th.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] htc6500uk:
Amazon.de have got their act together! Amazon UK say it is released on 11th November and will be available for £643.97 including free prime delivery -Don't think they will be selling many at that price! Short URL to item page - http://goo.gl/Cl9vp
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tdodd:
It does indeed seem that Germany has it sussed. Even with their 19% VAT rate (it actually gets uplifted to 20% when you add it to your basket for the UK) and delivery across the channel they are massively cheaper than UK suppliers. I don't understand why. Prices should be comparable I would have thought.

Having fiddled about cancelling and reordering daily this week while the price continued to drop I placed my final order last night and received a tracking notification this evening with delivery expected tomorrow. Total price delivered - £486.36.

Even better - I've found an EU to UK mains adapter lying around at home (I also wondered if a shaver adapter would be suitable too) and have shorted the middle two pins of my 1000mA USB car charger to allow the phone to draw the full AC charging current to run the phone in the car. On top of that my universal car cradle easily has the capacity to hold the Note. I'm all set to go. :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] RMXO:
Woohoo, I jsut placed my order for the Note from expansys-uk. I hope they really do have 41 in stock.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] be_vigilant:
04/11/11	06:09	These goods have been loaded onto a van for delivery today.

I cannot believe how much money I saved ordering from amazon.de!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ilovemyjasjar:
Well, I was curious to see if Expansys actually have stock. The UK site says expected within 7 days but the Norwegian site says 14 in stock. So I've put in an order from the Noggy site (I live in Norway). Let's see what happens.

Update: Just had an email to say my cc has expired! Forgot about that. Phoned them and gave the new details. The woman said it will be shipped today.

Hey guys! I just registered in this website (though ive been looking here for a while) and I have some questions about Hanigen mod Rom.

1)Wheres the market app? :confused:

2)How do I send a message to many contacts at once? (group messaging)

3)My phone hangs when I overclock it -.-

4)Cant connect to our wifi but when I was using FirstUA 1.2 it worked fine

i would be very happy if you guys help me! :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] consegregate:
Market app will be there when you are connected to the internet. Before your first connection it will be frozen in the system.

Overclocking over what your CPU is capable of will cause freezes and reboots.

Can't help with wifi. Try changing your baseband?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Gene Carlo Ramirez:
oh I see thanks. Can you help me in the messaging too?

[HTC Sensation] fayezkhan555:
Hi everyBODY***

I have now HTC Sensation and I want to know that which PHONE will get the ICS first.

1. Galaxy SII

2. HTC Sensation

Further more which one will be more compatible/Stable on ICS.

If HTC Sensation is not the one then I will have to JUMP to Galaxy SII
[HTC Sensation] antiochasylum:
Really? You think someone from HTC or Samsung is going to chime in and inform you?

The SGS2 has already been announced to get ICS, haven't heard anything on the sensation. But cmon man. No one knows.

And Both companies will optimize the software just fine for both devices.

Sent from my Insanity powered SGS2
[HTC Sensation] fayezkhan555:
I did'nt mean it to be official ROM. Many developers are there to give us the ICS before its officially announced.

I need to know the developers progress regarding the two phones...
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Both are working hard on it, Im sure. They cannot do anything until Google gives them the sources for ICS though.

Matt
[HTC Sensation] TheStigx:
SG2 for sure! HTC is going to take HTC sense into ICS, and that is going to take a long time..
[HTC Sensation] fayezkhan555:
Thanks for the info.....so i have go to go for SGII
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
One of our dev here will surely have an ics Rom out. Long before a manufacturer could.

Matt
[HTC Sensation] fayezkhan555:
But it may not be faster than SGII
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Who is to say? Both are out now and both will see ICS source code pop up at the same time. Im sure that you will see both get an ICS ROM at the same time. Id also guess the Sensation to be a hot phone to develop ICS for since everyone expects the Sensation to benefit so much from ICS.

The SGS2 is ALREADY where it needs to be....

The HTC Sensation is NOT where it needs to be....

If I had to place a bet, I would bet on the Sensation seeing more attention from our Devs due to everyone wanting to see what it can do with the right software.

Anyways...Thats a crappy reason to choose one or the other. Surely you care more than just having ICS, dont you?

In the end, the SGS2 will likely STILL have the edge over the HTC Sensation, but it will likely be too little to be a no brainer choice by then.

Matt
[HTC Sensation] fayezkhan555:

As of Saturday evening, my phone will no longer charge past 88%. Earlier on Saturday, the phone was charged to 100% in my car. We lost power and the phone ran down to 3% before I was able to charge it again.

I have not tried that. Weird thing is, the battery calibration app reads 4196mV at 70% while charging and ~4200 while at 88%.
[Atrix 4G General] anupash:
Just go to CWM recovery and wipe battery stats. Do a few charge recharge cycle. It should be OK.
[Atrix 4G General] milesjohnson:
Yup wiping the battery stats in cwm will do the trick
[Atrix 4G General] J-man67:
Charge to 88% or until you notice it not going any further. Turn off the phone. Plug in the charger and wait until the battery display shows. While the phone is still plugged in, remove the battery. Wait for it to boot up and show a no battery icon (or something like that). Once it does, put the battery back in and leave it for about 30 mins. When you hit the volume buttons, the display will show between 5-10% charged. Anyway, after about 30 mins, turn the phone one and it should show 100%. Re-calibrate the battery after that using the app or recovery.
