[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bbdj69:
Did you order a 16 or 32 Gb version?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Xaddict:
Shipped by DHL 1.11.11

Got a tracking email from DHL.

Thanks Handtec.

On time with a $40 discount.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] wonsanim:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jason370:
whats the discount code? how'd you get the discount?

---------- Post added at 06:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:57 PM ----------

there is no 32 gb as far as i can tell?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] wonsanim:
I don't know Jason the site shows 4 models 16GB Black & white,32GB same colors:confused:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jason370:
yes the site shows it, but it doesnt exist and they dont have it. they only have 16 gb
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Xaddict:
Sorry.

I paid 479 pounds and on the 1st November the stock arrived and the price dropped to 449 pounds.

I am due a 30 pound refund.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Techvir:
probably you are right.

I just did a conversion from google.

My CC was charge 737 USD and i am getting a refund of 15GBP . So 717 seems to be correct price.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bbdj69:
Nice! I ordered a 16Gb unbranded/no boot screen logo Note. Is that going to affect the order? Anyone know if they are only getting branded Logo Screen notes in?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lumbard:
Just arrived, this thing is BIG!! I have moved from a Streak.

Coming from the Streak I like a big phone (I have big hands) but somehow it's bigger than I was expecting but it's beautiful, the screen is marvellous....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DMax99:
Maybe because it's WIDER than the STREAK.

Streak is actually not that big....quite Portable....serious...:D

---------- Post added at 10:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:38 PM ----------

For those of you got the LOGO Branded version....

Is it just the booting that has a logo on it? what carrier logo is it?

Does it have any other branded network apps pre-installed in it?

cheers
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Xaddict:
Probably not.

Only the date you ordered it.

I had my doubts, but Handtec were as good as their word saying that they would ship on the 1st November for the first batch.

So when they say they have stock on the 3rd to ship all the rest of their orders, I believe them.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bbdj69:
I just talked to a CSR on the chat. They said they did not get a dispatch order today for the 3rd so they are expecting them to come in on the 4th.

Also, I ordered an unbranded/sim free phone. The person said if they only get unbranded/sim free versions, they will have a special or something for people who ordered network unlocked versions.

They are expecting both 16Gb Black models to be in.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ara_ffat:
same as mine looks like my order miss out on the 1st batch and they informed me order will come on this Friday and will be courier same day..:o
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jason370:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hypermedic:

Are you in queue for the Nov 4th Friday shipment?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lexi250:
Preorder mine yesterday, emailed them asking if I would be in their 2nd batch and they said yes!:cool:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Beards:
I really am surprised no one listened to any of my posts...

That information I passed was not borne out of an individual making an off hand comment, bearing a grudge or ignorance. It was borne from quite a lot of investigation and passing of information.

I know for the majority of you guys you are not really concerned where the phones come from, be that the UK, Germany, Netherlands etc.

However, these phones though are imports, not coming directly from Samsung UK.

Samsung are not going to be happy that here we have a UK seller selling phones before the official UK release date... that is a fact.

This is why the first batch are different to the second batch.

The second batch are the one's coming from Samsung UK.

All I will say is when you get your phone and if it is from the first batch, check the warranty carefully.....

Clove on the other hand received their Samsung UK batch late this afternoon and will be shipping all tomorrow (Thursday).

UK customers should receive theirs the following day (Friday).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hypermedic:
uk

i missed the first batch from handtec, apparently i am on the second, does it mean my note will be from UK samsung? and what difference will this contibute to me since i am using it in Egypt-middle East:D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Beards:
If it is as you say from the 'second-batch', this should come direct from Samsung UK Wholesalers.

These units should be UK spec machines with full warranties.

The first-batch which are 'grey-imports' would for UK buyers require a separate item sent in the box which is a UK 3-Pin plug again for UK buyers. As yours is for overseas you should just receive the boxed Note.

The other difference is with the warranty. Grey Imports are not covered by UK Warranty and are thus deemed as a 'limited warranty'.

With a limited warranty there is all manner of reading and understanding to cover, all dependent upon where you purchased it from and where you use the item.

It is all rather complicated and has to be identified individually. In other words there is no set rule for everyone. Basically you need to read the warranty card carefully.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hypermedic:
warranty

thanks alot for the reply

i have a question since this is my first overseas order

if there is a hardware malfunction, let's say 6 months after using the device, will i have an international warranty so i can send it to samsung egypt in my country or i have to ship it back to UK to be fixed? i mean international warranties are usable in country of import or at any place where samsung have retailers and authorized resellers?:confused:

---------- Post added at 02:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:16 PM ----------

this is what i received now from Handtec customer services.....

:mad::mad::mad:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] asad510:
Handtec always #1

I have nothing but the highest regard for handtec & so do 1000's of others here at XDA dev. I would take whatever Beards says with a pinch of salt as he is admittedly a Friend of clove. He stated they were changing dates but they DELIVERED! and in the process saved people time and $$$. I always buy my tech from them fast delivery fast responses and the best deals. Bravo Handtec!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Beards:
The only sure way is to check the warranty card it comes with.

---------- Post added at 12:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:42 PM ----------

I find that remark quite damming.

You have absolutely no knowledge of the background work I have carried out independently and nothing repeat nothing to do with Clove.

The only reason I mention Clove is because I know 100% their integrity is uttermost to the customers satisfaction.

If you do not believe me go on.. order a 32GB Galaxy Note for just over £700 from Handtek and see what happens......

I will tell you what happens ~ After you have placed your pre-order your credit card is then taken to the tune of £700 and you now sit and wait.. and wait.. and wait.

Trouble is Samsung have not yet identified if the 32GB model will go out.

So, with no known date your money is sitting in Handteks bank account for an unknown time..... Would you accept that?

On the other hand Clove know full well that Samsung have not yet released any details as and when the 32GB model will be released. As such they are being honest with their customers and not advertising the 32GB model which in turn means they do not get your money nor do you lose any of your money.... Simple.

They did change their dates and look now... they did not deliver all as promised. All they delivered in their first batch was 'grey-imports'.

The second batch which is actually the UK batch will be delivered later..

Clove on the other hand have already commenced sending out their entire orders today.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] asad510:
Stock from UK and EU is NOT classed as grey (do some more research). Cheaper to buy from Handtec and some units shipped 3 days ago and remaining to ship today.

If you are an international customer and you buy your handsets from the UK/EU you will need to send your goods back to the UK for repair. Doesnt matter what shop you buy them from they need to go back to where you purchased them from.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Beards:
Never said UK stock were grey import, I said the first batch were grey imports and the second batch were UK stock as such I do not need to do any further research.

I'm not even going to bother explaining to you the difficulties with differing warranties.

You have an opinion which you are rightly entitled to but don't expect me to hold your opinion.

Also, I noticed you did not reply to the example on the 32GB Model being sold by Handtek.

Finally, this is not the first time you have attacked my posts with the comments above.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Elle233:
But at £495.00, it looks like the most expensive out there.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Beards:
I do fully agree the price when compared to some is expensive.

The only difference where you can identify is where a grey import will be cheaper than one being shipped direct from the country of origin.

For the most this is not an issue, after all you are purchasing from outside the UK anyway so it does not matter where the item comes from when price is the only concern.

For a UK purchaser though this does become an issue, especially where warranties are concerned.

So, the prices from Handtek are the grey imported whilst the expensive ones from Clove are from Samsung UK Wholesalers.

It's simply a matter of where you are willing to accept the order, nothing more. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Elle233:
Would I be right to imply that what you mean is that Handtec are likely increasing their prices as soon as the received from Samsung UK Wholesalers?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Beards:
That would be my opinion. I do know the UK stock price which Samsung dictate btw will be higher than grey imported stock.

I would however still imagine handtek to offer a cheaper handset than what Clove can provide.

Just make sure everything is as per what the web site says. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] asad510:
You are correct it is not the first time we have met however many people here do not know your close relationship with Clove.

Please reread my post I said UK AND Europe stock is not classed as grey.

The 32GB stock no one knows when this will come it could be here within a week - who knows. But this topic was if Handtec will deliver Samsung Notes 16GB as per their site and they did.

Clove's prices are higher because of Greed.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Beards:
As did happen before happens again today. No matter what I say you will continue to attack my posts and my integrity.

You can have this topic. I have better things to do.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SNiiPE_DoGG:
Does anyone know if the white's are in stock at Handtec? I would like to place an order today, but if there are no white's in stock I will order black.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] androidpixar:
Don't hold me to it, but word on the grapevine is that it will be quite a while before those appear.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PolishDude:
I've tried to order from them multiple times now, my credit card keeps denying the charge even though I told them to authorize it, very annoying
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bairda:
If you are in the US and ordering from Handtec in the UK, then your card is being blocked by the credit card company as a security precaution for an international order. Call the credit card customer service line and tell them what has happened. They will have a record of the denied transaction and can unblock it so you can order.

This happened to me with Mastercard and handtec. Once I called, and got it unblocked, no problem with ordering.

Thanks,

-Alex-
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bbdj69:
I just did PayPal with my account that has been confirmed, credit card and address so there was no verification on Hantecs part for my order.

I just did the live chat and they have confirmation on their shipment for tomorrow. They could also confirm that my order falls within the amount coming in. Crossing fingers!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] androidpixar:
Did they mention when it would get to you?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bbdj69:
No I didn't bother to ask, they would ship tomorrow if they come in.

FedEx to Canada is 2-4 days. So it should come in Tues through Thurs?

Did anyone here from North America get their phone from the Nov 1st shipment yet?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] wonsanim:
Same happens to me,I do the same contact the bank order again and set also be shure i call handtec everithing is correct:D

thank God i just received the 50 GBP refund for my order,

any way i just finished chatting online with the handtec and they confirmed that all Notes are dispatched tomorrow enshalla..

i asked when should i receive tracking info, and he said by 7 GMT...i forgot to ask a.m or p.m:o

can't wait ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] shEEEsh:
I ordered mine from there yesterday - I thought it was all set and ready to go when this morning I got an email they need more info because i am a first time (last time) customer. The need my credit card receipt number (when I get it) because I am a first time customer. First they actually asked for it by another name and when I sent it they said "no, wrong number, it should be only 6 digits." So I immediately called my credit card company, got the correct number and after sending it 4 or 5 times with no reply from customer service I contacted online chat .. that was at about 12 pm eastern and I have still not gotten a confirmation from them. I wish I would have gone with the other company ... I am so frustrated now. I am like a bad kid at christmas. I want my new toys NOW ..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mircury:
Yup, they got with me to and said tomorrow is the shipping date.

---------- Post added at 01:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:59 PM ----------

Hmmmmm.... I paid with paypal so hopefully that takes some of the verification out of it. I did have to clear it with the credit card company first though because on try #1 it got rejected for fraud.

I paid with my Paypal debit card. Wanted to get that 1% back refund and according to my Paypal account it cleared but Handtec or their bank still wanted more information. Just watch your email to see if you get another email saying "DELAY IN SHIPPING."

Does FexEx ship stuff on Sat/Sun?

When do we get our Notes!?!? LOL, I can't wait.

Fedex will deliver on Saturday for an additional fee .. I would have paid it but I am thinking UK to Florida would be impossible by Saturday. Wouldn't it?

well i requested DHL rather than FEDEX...IS DHL too off on both sat and sun?:eek:

what about 7 GMT? did they mean a.m or p.m or is it a.m by 24h system?:confused:

You are hoping that Friday is day 1 and Monday is day 2. That would be sick to get it Monday, I guess we will get confirmation emails tomorrow with tracking numbers!
