Is that luck or curse from vodafone?

Do you have any idea if and when it's going to appear on 3 network? So far I've seen galaxy note available on all UK networks except 3.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jUsT2eXy:
out tomorrow at carphone warehouse

http://recombu.com/news/samsung-galaxy-note-launch-event-tomorrow-at-carphone-warhouse_M15707.html

I want it on T-Mobile!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Bigmille:
From the above website:

"The Samsung Galaxy Note will be one of the first devices to run Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, Google’s new tablet and phone operating system."

You sure you trust the source.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sparkyxda:
I was in the Gateshead Metro Centre store and the manager showed me on his system that there were 4 in Newcastle ("Just across the River" he said, the main store).

I also saw there were some in Leeds Briggate store. I called in to Leeds on the way home to the Midlands today and they brought one straight out when I asked, nothing was on display.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sparkyxda:
People I've spoken to at 3 have said they were going to test it before release at the end of the month.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] andyiacovou:
So how much are CPW selling them for Sim Free?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sparkyxda:
Don't know. The one I saw was black, or very very very dark blue ;-)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sparkyxda:
That's the bad news, they won't sell sim free. Vodafone contract only. He had no sim free pricing.

That's why I've ordered from Amazon.de at a lower price and should be here by the weekend.

If the CPW guy would have sold it today I may have been tempted, even at a possibly higher price.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] andyiacovou:
That is bad news. I was holding off buying from Amazon.de and hoping to pick one up from CPW tomorrow, but if they are not selling sim free I guess I might as well order online, or maybe wait and see tomorrow after official launch date has passed?

CPW always offer SIM free prices, so it should change
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] darrenjdoc:
When you got to see it, does it feel very big when holding it with one hand. Really silly looking when holding it to your ear ?

Contemplating selling my SGS2 to get one and using a dumb phone while i am on site.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sparkyxda:
It was big but I'm not planning on talking on it much. My employer provides me with a Darkfruit for that.

Didn't try much with one hand, I was concentrating on the s pen for note taking which will take some getting used to.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] htc6500uk:
I don't think they have any plans for it at the moment - only the Galaxy Nexus. I bought my Note sim free but use the 3 network. It seems very good for speed and coverage but I suspect it depends on where you live.

I was once offered a great deal by T-Mobile (UK) and although signal was fine at work, there was nothing at home - you have to take everyones coverage maps with a pinch of salt!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rossygnol:
Phone4u hanchester city centre had it this morning. It seems like I was the first one to ask abt it, they revoked it from a sealed pack. I tried it out just a bit. It isn't too big for me as some seem to say. I know that it depends on the size of the hands ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] theloginwithnoname:
Sparky, let us/me know how that went - there is a significant price saving in doing this, the only issue may be the type of charger it is supplied with (though I think my N1 wall charger will work OK, I would like your feedback to be sure).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sparkyxda:
There's a thread about buying from amazon.de.

It's all good. Saved around £100. Delivery takes 3-4 days via City Link.

I haven't used the supplied charger, almost any standard micro USB charger will work.

Localisation is simple and just like I bought from the UK
[Optimus One, P500, V General] trettet:
All I can say is the ROM is totally PERFECT....but one big problem is that some of the apps became incompatible to my phone....such as TweetDeck and Viber...they used to work with the stock rom...but with Cyanogen, I can't download it from the android market, so I assumed it was some kind of bug in the market so I downloaded the apk file itself but yet it wouldn't install.....
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gnsxp:

I wish three would hurry the hell up and release pricing info, the phone is supposed to be out in two weeks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mhunt407:
It would seem you might not get any information until the 17th.

A moderator on the Three blog has posted here that "You won’t be able to pre-order the Galaxy Nexus but we’ll let you know when it’s available on our network."

Hoping O2 won't do the same, but I have a feeling they might keep us all waiting. Getting a bit impatient now and wanting to get a pre-order in. Slightly underwhelmed by the O2 deals at buymobilephones.net. Want to see if Phones4U or O2 themselves are offering any better.

Been watching expansys for a while, They finally have a date and price but I wouldnt hold my breath!

Going to see if I am going to wait till feb when i can reduce my tariff on my contract (three irl) any takers on that bet? I want it now tho :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TonyHoyle:
Probably means initial stocks are running low and they've been kicked back. This is a popular phone!

Samsung still haven't said anything since they officially announced the 17th.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Meaple:
I ordered mine last night from BuyMobilePhones, 3rd contract from the top. Should get it on the 18th although I expect it to be delayed like what my Desire was.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
I pre-ordered mine from BuyMobilePhones too on the Panther36 contract with £5 off so £31 a month (handset price £89.99). Good price for 1GB internet and unlimited wifi on btopenzone the only thing I dont like is that the phone will be carrier locked to orange. Not a big deal since I wouldnt be using any other sim cards in it but mobiles.co.uk DOES guarantee that all phones supplied will be carrier unlocked..

I already cancelled my mobiles.co.uk pre-order whedn I found the BuyMobilePhones deal, now I cant decide whether to cancel again and go back to the mobiles.co.uk lol :D

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
The guy told me they may be getting them in on the 16th for delivery to customers homes on the 17th so its really just waiting for that email saying its been sent out. You will then have it the next day.

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Hey mark, which plan did you go for? I went on panther 41 (but lucky me gets to pay only £33 pm as I upgraded my orange contract through them). Also currently I'm on a panther price plan and I'm pretty sure that that includes unlimitied Google maps with navigation, did they mention about that to you?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Oh and by the way, let me introduce myself properly, my real name is Steve. Nice to meet you guys!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crankshaft:
Buymobilephones.net are still showing 17th and imo have better deals that phones4u.

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skanj:
Did anyone ordering from phone4u get only one email confirming the order or have people had there credit check emails as well?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Iv not even had an order confirmation email yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skanj:
I just got my email saying credit checks gone through fine and it'll be dispatched 16th.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmbillings:
So, CPW couldn't match Phones4U at all. They basically said they can match up to £50 difference in-shop but only to a network price, not online.

I ordered last night online from Phones4U (Panther 36, 18m). Order confirmation email came immediately, credit check one this morning. No delivery date on it though, just says:

Will post back if I hear more.

So - where can I order a dock and car-mount from...? :D

Hey steve pleased to meet you im hoping this forum will be a happy one :)

I went for the panther 36 but as im currently with vodafone i had to pay the full 36 a month and 39 for the phone which I dont mind as it has 1GB internet that I need and my wife has an orange contract so I can add her as a Magic number and save alot of minutes. I havent seen anything in the orange books or from anyone I talked to about unlimited google maps but maybe thats only for the higher packages. I have an orange book around somewhere I will have a look lol..

Nope dont have one here I will ask in the orange shop when I go into town later today.

This is the first pure Android phone I will have owned as I have an HTC HD2 at the moment with a NAND Android Rom on it. Looking forward to a much improved battery life that Im getting on the HD2 and a smoother experience.

I still love my HD2 though its the best phone I ave ever had i may put WP Mango on it just to see what thats like :D

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
OHH and I just read this on the phones4u site Im not sure if they are getting worried about stock coming in for 17th but I think they would get stock before Amazon because of their relationship with Samsung.

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
My credit check was completed over the phone because I placed the order over the phone after hearing about potential stock delays elsewhere.

Got my email within a few minutes stating the order had been processed successfully.

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Indeed im hoping this is a friendly forum too :) I did some mooching around on the orange website and by the looks of it their contracts perhaps don't seem to be quite as good value as they were when I signed up for my x10. With that I had an unlimited data plan which not so many places seem to offering now and now in the extras for panther plans it seems only wifi and email are the only things you get so looks like Google maps is now likely to be taken from your actual data plan. I could have done with being able to keep my unlimited data plan really, good thing ics comes with it's built in data monitor which should be very useful to have. Before I never had to worry about how many roms etc I downloaded for my x10 now I will have to be much more careful.

My nexus will also be my first pure android phone, I'm hoping for better battery life too, I got a spare battery for my x10 which i have to use regularly espicually if I know I'm not going to be going home for the night.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
I had my credit check over the phone too but no confirmation email so far, this is actually quite worrying now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
Well if you are an existing customer they probably didnt need to do a credit check as you are effectively getting an update and not a new contract. I do know that phones4u do the credit check straight away as I was a bit worried about a previous debt I was landed with from work but he waited for it to go through and said it had passed. Im sure theres nothing to worry about as they would have said if there was a problem.

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
The orange package was alot more apealing than the vodafone package I was looking at. I like the orange swapables and will probably choose the live tv and unlimited news. I had to turn the news off on my HD2 as it kept taking me over my 500MB that I have on vodafone. Theres also the Navigon satnav on the swapables and if its the new v4 then its worth it but I already use sygic and im happy with that.

Not sure how it will be scaled up to fit on the HD screen though..

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
I'm a new customer with phones 4 u but because I'm due for upgrade with orange I was able to upgrade my contract through them, if that makes sense? There was a button on their website that said about 'contract running to an end? Upgrade through us!' and I went for it. On my current contract I went to orange directly not going through a middle man like phones for you. If I have no email by next week I'll start making phone calls and find out what's going on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
Yes it makes sense lol. The credit check is with Orange and not phones4u so as an existing customer you probably didnt need a credit check even though you wasnt going through orange directly, if you get what I mean :)

If I was you I would call phones4u right now and just ask them about the credit check and whether everything is ok with your order. Better to find out now than spend the whole weekend worrying mate.

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tom Servo:
Not worried? They seemed to be pretty adamant about being able to deliver for the 17th, from what I could gather in this thread and elsewhere. Hell, they were attributed exclusivity. Posting a blog entry like this just shows all that isn't true.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigf00t:
Fear not friend. Someone called me from Phones4u and I upgraded my orange contract through them. I wasn't sent an email either.

They called again the next day offering me an upgrade again (they're call system hadn't been updated) and I told them I'd already ordered but could they check it for me. They checked and said "yeah- should be delivered to you on the 17th"

They mistakenly called a few days later again to try and sell me another upgrade but I didn't bother checking my order that time.

So I wouldn't worry about it too much if you had no email. I'll probably phone them on Monday myself just to see if there's any update on the delivery date/possible delay.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Well they said everything is ok with my order, I was also told that the nexus will be on sale on the 16th (don't quote me this is what the woman said!) and that I should receive an email my order has been dispatched and my order is currently 'pending' but there are no issues. She also said the delivery might be a little late and to allow 3 - 5 working days for delivery after the 17th incase of delivery problems but they do pay for special delivery with royal mail. I can't say I feel any more reassured after that tbh apart from I know my order is placed and I didn't give my bank details to some random bloke over the phone who will steal the contents of my account.

So mixed info there.... On sale 16th apparently, due for delivery 17th but possible delays. Somehow I really get the feeling nobody really knows what the F is going on....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Sorry if this is an off topic but I gotta say I dont really know where to post this so as this is a discussion board I'll my question...

Just wondering if anyone knows who the moderators are for this forum? All Gamer?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Matcarroll:
Hello. 1st post here. Presently on iPhone 3GS but hopefully for only another week or so!

I have just spoken to phones4u, I also pre ordered and not received an email. I was just told everything still ok and order is keyed pending stock dispatch. I didn't get a email as I upgraded my existing contract, not started a new contract. I will receive a email once dispatched.

I asked about the post on their forum about poss order delay and was told that wouldn't affect orders placed already but possible future orders as they may run out of stock due to the large preorders they have received!

Have 1 quick question, is it a standard sim card or a micro sim card, phones4u couldn't help me. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JonnyBrad81:
Its a standard sim card.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HooloovooUK:
I popped into my local Phones4U this morning.

They had a big display for the Nexus with space for two demo phones, but they were not installed. I asked the girl in the shop and she said apart from taking pre-orders they had no idea when it was going to be released or when they were getting stock.

She also told me that they don't process T-Mobile upgrades. Does anyone know if that's right? They have T-Mobile tariffs on the website.

I was also told this morning by T-Mobile on Facebook that it looks like T-Mobile are not going to be stocking the device. Well that's just rubbish.

I'm currently on a 30-day rolling SIM-only contract £10 per month with 100 minutes, 100 text, and the data booster. That's more than enough for me so I'm looking for that sort of contract with a high up-front cost for the phone. None of the current tariffs on the Phones4U site are very appealing at all! I'm not paying £30-40 a month even if I do get a "free" phone!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oliroe:
I'm going to get an upgrade with T-Mobile through CPW. Looks like I'll have to wait until December though
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HooloovooUK:
Last time I talked to someone in CPW they said there was no way of looking up what discount I had through my T-Mobile upgrade and they could only offer me the advertised deals.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oliroe:
Great, complete opposite to what T-Mobile are telling me. I'll let you know if I have any luck
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Highland3r:
Popped into a local P4U today (Leeds) they too had an empty space for the nexus. Interestingly the info card stated phone only was 449 + 10 pound top up. If that's the case, phone only price isn't too bad. The chap in the store was pretty sure the phone would only be available on contract for the first few weeks as expected. He thought it was out on the 16th and had been telling customers that (but again wasn't totally sure) - and also said they'd have a working demo in store later in the week.

Still torn on whether to upgrade I really hope the phone feels nicer in the hand than the gsII - the size and squareness makes it nasty to hold.

<edit> clearly either I can't read of the 449 price was a mirage to tempt me! The price is 549 sim free and 529 with a 10 or 20 pound top up. Apologies for any excitement my original post may have brought! </ edit >
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dazzla:
£449 seems pretty damn cheap. Especially when you consider the Lumia is £399 on Three PAYG.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chandlerweb:
You're probably best doing what I'm doing, getting a Sim free handset then getting a Sim only deal with quidco or topcashback incentives. Only thing is you may have to wait a couple more weeks if the Phones4U 2 week exclusive rumour is true.

---------- Post added at 06:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:29 PM ----------

Any chance you could take a snap and upload?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Highland3r:
I'll try and get one!

Yup, could just be that the price is a placeholder. didn't make a mental note of the contract pricing so maybe just a copy/paste of the gsII which iirc had the same payg price.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Erazor786:
I'm in the same boat as you. Upgraded via Phones4U due to Orange the useless gits not stocking the handset. Got the same deal as you I think. £33 a month, phone for free. Didn't receive an e-mail or txt for confirmation or anything. Gonna be working all weekend so will have to give them a quick call on Monday.

that would be 714 american.. correct?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
At todays exchange rate of $1.60 to the pound it would be about $722 American.

Some users seem to think its going to retail in the states for $500 which I think is wayy off for this device.

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HooloovooUK:
Could do, but with the current price of the phone SIM free it would work out quite expensive.

£520 for the phone plus £240 for 24 months would be £760 minus whatever I can get through TopCashBack.

I'm hoping to get a 24 month contract at no more than £600 total cost. I think a £10 per month contract and £360 up front for the phone is quite reasonable. I guess I'll just have to wait and see what kind of tariffs are available once the P4U exclusive is over.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
Minus 20% VAT that we pay that would be closer to $571.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sarg92:
The Orange staff look confused because Orange are not going to be selling the handset so the staff have not been briefed on the handset and have no information about the handset.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
Good luck on that but I really dont think you will get a £10/month contract on this phone because of its value. The minimum price on 24month plans seem to be around £20/month with £249 up front. Everything seems to end up between £730 - £790 over 2 years however you do it, the only difference is if you take a lower monthly rate then you end up with less minutes, less texts, less data and no extras.

Im paying £39 for the phone on a £31/month package (new deal) which gives me everything I will need (600 minutes, unlimited texts, 1GB data, unlimited email, unlimited wifi on btopenzone and 2 free swapables a month on orange). Over the 2 years it will cost me £783.

If I payed £249 to get the phone on a £20/month contract with just 300 minutes and 300 texts and very limited data I would still be paying £739 over 2 years. I think I would much rather take the first option and pay £44 more over 24 months (£1.83/month more for the first option if anyone is interested lol) and feel it alot less in my wallet up front.

Mark.
