I think adding the brush metal effect causes a strain on the manufacturing process and that's why the white ones can be made faster with bigger yield. There are Grey ones being released....just not as many made yet to fill big orders.

The same thing happened with the Blue SG3....it took Handtec about a month to fill back orders.

If Handtec doesn't come through by Monday I'll probably switch to white.

[Galaxy Note II General] barondebxl:
They won't come through for the grey one, its confirmed. You should switch to white now ( unless you wanna wait until mid October).
[Galaxy Note II General] CrimzonEyed:
I myself like when there is black/white mixed :)

Maybe cause I preordered the white one....
[Galaxy Note II General] spridell:
Yes only those of us who ordered the Titanium version got this email.
[Galaxy Note II General] CurrentlyPissed:
If you get one from handtec, doest that work on any carrier? Would it work with Sprint?
[Galaxy Note II General] daraj:
Sprint is a CDMA network and the ones being sold over handtec/Clove are GSM variant.

Plz someone correct me if I'm wrong

[Galaxy Note II General] Nuwidol:
Pre-ordered a Grey from digital-phone & they told me earlier they are expecting grey stock in on 4/10/12. I don't know if I believe them or not though. A few people who ordered white from them have had shipping confirmation on a 24 hour service so may get them tomorrow :( jealous...

I keep seeing on websites & other forums that people are expecting stock on week commencing 10/10/12. Thing is, there is no week commencing 10/10/12. Its week commencing 8/10/12.......
[Galaxy Note II General] jeux_1:
ordered the white one from them after cancelling clove and expansys (it was 35£extra and thought for price I could wait couple of days extra), shipped today should get it on Monday at work. it was 499£ delivered.
[Galaxy Note II General] Hendrickson:
getgoods.de have the best price still, but no stock it seems. Mine hasn't shipped, it is still saying 2-4 working days till they get stock. Maybe they will not be getting the grey ones :( I'm in the dark here....

Amazon.de have stock...Thinking I should maybe cancel and order from them instead? Anyone got thiers from Amazon Germany yet?
[Galaxy Note II General] non1oson:
I hope handtec gets the titanium on Monday, going to be really upset having to wait a further 14 days for it :(
[Galaxy Note II General] barondebxl:
If I were you I wouldn't get my hopes up, it is most likely that its delayed until the 10th of October. But you never know...
[Galaxy Note II General] ciscostud:
I feel your pain. I've been using a cheap dumb phone for the last week. I wouldn't wish that on my greatest enemy. A least will know for sure in a few days

Expansys-USA is now shipping in 5 days the White version
[Galaxy Note II General] nishbul:
I gave them a call Wednesday both the US newegg and the Canadian one, they told me they dont have any info about it right now. Maybe I didnt get the right person.

Keep us updated if someone gets a breakthrough.
[Galaxy Note II General] Twistedchild420:
They have been saying that since Thursday....hopefully with 2 day shipping i get it next week!
[Galaxy Note II General] nowy57:
I think that EXPANSYS.DE is a little cheating customers

I bought and pay immediatly via paypal and credit card for 3x note2 grey

but after paid I didnt have any answer for my emails questions and didnt get any tracking number till now

We will see what happen in monday
[Galaxy Note II General] DanielW81:
I don't think they do. I ordered one Grey note 2 there on Thursday at about 15:15. I paid through amazon payments. (So I don't have an account on expansys.de). First I got a confirmation mail from amazon payments, shortly after one from expansys containing an order reference number and a link to an order status Page on expansys.de. Friday morning status there changed to shipping and since Friday evening there is a link to a dhl tracking Site on it.

And as there are shipping from Marseille (France) it went by airfreight to Leipzig (where it is now) and it should arrive in Dortmund (germany) on Monday. Can't wait...
[Galaxy Note II General] non1oson:
handtec changed their site back to 1st october. this is after their 10th october email delay to everyone :> :> :>
[Galaxy Note II General] PierreTech:
Yah. Iphone 5 lame. Bought Gnote 2 for 5698 hk dollars. Iphone 5 16gb is priced at 7k+++ hk dollars. I think its not really smart to buy iphone 5. Only if you like a small phone. Just my opinion..
[Galaxy Note II General] nowy57:
I dont have account on expansys.de as well

first 2x note2 paid by credit card - after couple of hours I bought another one note2 and paid by paypal

no answer after that from expansys :( I am a little annoy and confused
[Galaxy Note II General] stesteste:
Wow might be getting grey on tuesday after all

Hantec
[Galaxy Note II General] DMax99:
How come they change it so many times? So unpredictable.
[Galaxy Note II General] ciscostud:
Feels good man...:o
[Galaxy Note II General] barondebxl:
Because they received stock yesterday and they will receive stock today too. It all depends on what the supplier gives them.
[Galaxy Note II General] DMax99:
Clove has already posted a few videos of their note 2 stock. This is one of them:

[Galaxy Note II General] spridell:
Yeah, maybe Handtec got word they will be getting in some Titanium models next week. Thats why they changed it again.
[Galaxy Note II General] DMax99:
Just got an email from handtec:

"Hi,

Good news for those of you waiting for the grey ones over with handtec :)

[Galaxy Note II General] spridell:
Looks like Handtec got some in. On their website it says shipping next day.

So looks like those of us who ordered the from Handtec should get it on Tuesday.

Anyone who ordered Titanium from Handtec post when you get a shipping confirmation.

[Galaxy Note II General] non1oson:

[Galaxy Note II General] cholepuree1:
Just got an email from handtec regarding security documents.

------

Please contact your card issuer/Bank for the Bank Authorisation Code (or Bank Transaction Code) relating to the Handtec Order. This is a unique code for this order and your card issuer will only give this information to the card holder. You can confirm the code to us via email (reply to this email), phone or fax.

I contacted Chase - and they wouldnt give me anything.. Man I really want this to ship on Monday... :(
[Galaxy Note II General] Viper2005:
This was really what made decide clove over handtec, they are way more sticky with the security checks at handtec.

I just sent over my drivers license to clove and I was done..
[Galaxy Note II General] barondebxl:
What? Its easy dude. They sent me the same email. All you have to do is call your bank and ask them for the authorization code. Its a 6 or 7 code digits. They should give it to you. Tell them the retailer is asking for it to make sure it is you purchasing the item. I did it last week.

---------- Post added at 10:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:01 PM ----------

I didn't receive the email either but its nothing to worry about. All orders will get shipped on Monday 100% unless they need more info about your payment method or your identity. I ordered the white one....
[Galaxy Note II General] DMax99:
Same here....it was venue easy and got a confirm reply within an hour
[Galaxy Note II General] barondebxl:
Does clove ship overnight?
[Galaxy Note II General] cholepuree1:
I called the bank - they said they wouldn't give that out to me.
[Galaxy Note II General] barondebxl:
Doesn't make any sense, they didnt tell you why? Did yo explain o them why you needed it? As long as he bank verifies and know they're speaking to you they should provide you that info.....
[Galaxy Note II General] ChodTheWacko:
I don't know why they wouldn't give it to you.

Ask to speak to their manager.

I called Chase and asked them for the authorization letter and they gave it to me right away.

This is only for first time orderers.

Try checking your online account and check your statement, you should see the transaction and the number you are looking for.
[Galaxy Note II General] senk1one:
Also did a first time order ad handtec but it went smooth, didn't ask for any vertification. Got an email the order is proceeding now and should get the shipping # next. Ordered the Grey one
[Galaxy Note II General] gclancer:
I used PayPal and the transaction status shows completed, hopefully i will get my phone next week too
[Galaxy Note II General] DMax99:
Well....I have chosen DHL international (1-6 days) option. It it is the same as the handtec DHL (2-5 days) then it should cone pretty fast. I got my note 1 via handtec in I think the 2nd day..or was it overnight? I remembered DHL being quite quick.

hopefully the dhl from clove is the same as handtec, I mean they cost almost the same, so it should be....:)

---------- Post added at 06:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:09 PM ----------

Did you pay by PayPal? Because I don't think you need the security check if you use PayPal.
[Galaxy Note II General] Hendrickson:
Problem with Clove is the charge you right away before it even shipped. And the also have someone there selling credit card numbers. As when I last used them I had a new CC never used, and never anywhere on the net. Used it to get my SGS II and a week later all these other things were brought from Poland over 2k in euro worth. Only clove had my CC number, so one of their staff must sell the details to Family in Poland. I told Chris @ Clove about this to check a Polish staff member is copying card info and passing it on to there mates back home. He told me it was impossible but again card was never used before and it was a new number and card... CLove in my books = Bad.

Thanks for the tip I emailed amazon.de my cc statement using an online website. Its now stating shipping soon. So should be Monday.
[Galaxy Note II General] non1oson:
DHL is guaranteed 3 day international shipping
[Galaxy Note II General] DMax99:
Hmmm....maybe some one hacked your computer and that transaction?! I wonder if anyone else has had the same problem before.

I thought most people charge you before they send the item. I'm sure handtec is the same too

---------- Post added at 06:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:48 PM ----------

Yeah..I remember it being very quick and reliable becuase I had to return Tommy note 1 twice back to handtec and remember getting the new phones back very quick.
[Galaxy Note II General] senk1one:
Yea, used PayPal
[Galaxy Note II General] Viper2005:
Clove uses SagePay to process their cc payments.

Likely it may have been someone at Sage that got your cc info when it went thru processing.
[Galaxy Note II General] barondebxl:
Yes, handtec says 2-5 days but its actually overnight.

---------- Post added at 08:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 AM ----------

I think udng Google wallet is easier than sagepay. When I purchased my HTC One X from handtec a few months back, i used Google wallet and it passed all security checks, but with sagepay, especially the first time using it they ask you for more info. Not a big deal but just if people don't want to deal with any troubles Google wallet is your best bet.

Where?
[Galaxy Note II General] gcappa:
16gb 32gb or 64gb?
[Galaxy Note II General] ChodTheWacko:
So far, it's only 16s for preorder. One site is offering 32 gig, but i suspect those are a ways off.

Handtec is finally offering the Note 2 for preorder: £533.99, 444.99 ex VAT.

They also predict a september 28th (!) release.

I sort of trust them more than the others, since they held off on preorders, 'waiting for confirmation of price/release date'.

Who knows though. I had good service with them with my first Note, so i'll stand by them again.

[Galaxy Note II General] barondebxl:
Hi people, I'm confused. So when Samsung announced the note 2, people said ( or Samsung said) that it will be coming by the end of October. Negrielectronics (USA retailer) are expecting shipments by October 26 I believe. Clove UK is expecting mid October while handtec.co.UK is expecting stock on the 28th of september :confused::confused:.... anybody knows anything about these dates?
[Galaxy Note II General] ChodTheWacko:
Nobody knows except Samsung.
[Galaxy Note II General] barondebxl:
Apparently the retailers knows something too.
[Galaxy Note II General] kersh:
Based on earlier samsung releases, s1, s2, note, s3, no one knows a **** and all the retailers changes the shipping day about 40 times always delaying it.

A tactic to get preorders from others shops yes, but no one gives a true date until 48 hours from getting the stock

do you need to pay tax???

no it's signature required, get it sent to your work? or parents work have them sign for you next time? they'll probably leave a note under your door for call pick up, or they try to re delivery during business hours next day. has their number on it to call.

Usually they will want signature or at least a note left on the door with your signature.

Check your fedex tracking page see if it says signature or Indirect signature.

Great thanks for the quick reply! Actually I'll be home I just saw it was for Tuesday 10/2 so I'll be home. Can't FU°°°NG wait!!!!!!!!!
[Galaxy Note II General] ciscostud:
No sure how it works in USA, but for me in Canada, FedEx will charge an additional $10 to clear your package with customs. However if you have a personal account with FedEx and notify them you're expecting a package with your tracking number they will wave the $10 fee because it was shipped overnight.

Is this your first imported Phone? Did you have too pay duties before?
[Galaxy Note II General] Twistedchild420:
I'm not sure what to do. I pre-ordered with Expansys but i'm still left in the dark on when they will have stock. Any US bro's know a quick way to get it this upcoming week and not spend over $800? I want this phone SOON! lol
