Looks like September 28th is a reliable date. First handtec stated that date, now clove changed from , initially mid October to now September 28th. Awesomeness!!!!!!!!
[Galaxy Note II General] ciscostud:
....or there're just competing with each other. I hope I'm wrong.
[Galaxy Note II General] barondebxl:
Theres no conspiracy lol,You're definitely wrong. I chatted with handtec this morning and they told me their Samsung supplier told them sept28. Now clove also says sept 28 . I think when clove said mid October it was to be safe but now they moved it up to sept 28 ( they apparently got confirmation from their supplier as well).
[Galaxy Note II General] non1oson:
sweeeeeet end of this month!. hard bricked my note 1, I shipped it back to handtec and they told me ss have had it for a week and still waiting to here back. emmc problem.

so in the meantime I have this s3 and the screen quality ppi is incredible, so sharp however I can't wait to get back onto the note scene :D:D:D:D

[Galaxy Note II General] DMax99:
Lol....this is what clove told me about w days ago:

" We are taking a realistic approach and suggesting mid October, but it is possible it will come slightly sooner"

This is awesome news...the sooner the better. :)
[Galaxy Note II General] barondebxl:
Well there you have it, mark it on your calendars folks!
[Galaxy Note II General] marcoveli:
gs note 2

the note is very nice im planning on pre-order one my self
[Galaxy Note II General] DMax99:
Hey...so did you end up ordering from handtec? What colour did you choose? What are you going to do with your s3?
[Galaxy Note II General] msedek:
Are you on drugs? :what: completely out of context

On topic... I believe the device its coming before September ends... My provider just got the note 2 stuff like pictures and publicity in general all around the store but the fker didn't want to tell me when is he getting it.. He told me 1 its for me and I will get it 1 day before he officially released it for general public :D

That maybe could be some days after several of you guys but at least I'm going to be on of the first to get it here in my country :p

I haven't ordered it yet but I will from handtec. I'm gonna go with the white one and I'll sell my S3 ( that I really really love).
[Galaxy Note II General] soukie:
I just pre ordered my note II, I just wondering if the note II will get the same Internet as galaxy s3 I9300? Thanks
[Galaxy Note II General] barondebxl:
I guess you mean if it'll get hspa+? The answer is yes it will.
[Galaxy Note II General] DMax99:
Oh? Whats holding you back from ordering it? :p
[Galaxy Note II General] barondebxl:

[Galaxy Note II General] DMax99:
Well...good luck with your gs3 sale. I'm looking to buy one for my wife, but I want to buy it from aus. :)
[Galaxy Note II General] barondebxl:
Thanks mate. :)
[Galaxy Note II General] sapienssapiens:
The software on my note 1 is waaaay better now than it was a few months ago and i now have to get the new one? Pisses me off but the bigger screen is a must-have! Ill watch this product very closely.
[Galaxy Note II General] ciscostud:
You are extremely gullible. When September 28th rolls around and the Note 2 has been ”mysteriously delayed”, I will be back here laughing at you.

Marked on my calendar. September 28th... Hantec announces the delay to appease the suckers.

Just a friendly bet....see u then.
[Galaxy Note II General] barondebxl:
So in other words, you're wishing that it comes later than September 28.... SMH... it doesn't take a genius to see that sept 28 is very probable. Handtec said sept 28 for the last two weeks, now clove changed their date from mid October to sept 28... what a coincidence! If it get delayed, it get delayed. If it comes on sept 28which I believe it is, it'll be awesome. I won't be thinking about you then just looking forward to my new toy:p
[Galaxy Note II General] non1oson:
when the previous note came out, did they do the exact same thing, also with the S3, is ciscostud telling from previous samsung products being released, with history?
[Galaxy Note II General] Viper2005:
While I really do hope the SGN2 comes out on the 28th, I really think the reason Clove updated was all due to marketing, to avoid impatient people cancelling their preorders and going with Handtec.

I'm really considering placing a preorder with either Handtec or Clove, but I haven't decided which one is more reputable.
[Galaxy Note II General] ciscostud:
Yes. My S3 from hantec was delayed almost 2 weeks with white version and I preorder 1 month in advance. Clove was worse. Samsung said October so Hantec said late September to make it somewhat believable. Thats how they roll.
[Galaxy Note II General] non1oson:
eek. I've found from experience handtec customer services are very much more helpful than clove. I bought 2 items from clove previously and the 3rd I was about to purchase something I requested a little something, they declinced. it was easy to do so I went with handtec instead and they always do it for me.

I haven't found any faults with handtec and I hope I don't, but after hearing that I probably won't pre order until closer to the date. or did you mean clove said late september*?
[Galaxy Note II General] barondebxl:
I guess we'll find out soon enough....
[Galaxy Note II General] DMax99:
Handtec does have good customer service, but in terms of handset quality, it was bad for the note 1 I have bought from them. No two sure if their stock are really brand new or reburbished or returned as all 3 notes they sent me all had screen problem.

Thats why I've gone with clove this time hoping their stock quality will be better :)

Cloves customer service isn't that bad either, I get emails reply from them very quickly even in after work hours. Handtec usually takes longer to reply my email.
[Galaxy Note II General] ChodTheWacko:
We will see.

All I know for sure is my prior experience.

I Preordered the original galaxy note on October 20.

It was released the last weekend of October (Oct 31).

I got shipping notification on Nov 1,and had it in my hands on Nov 2.

I posted all about it on xda, and you can search for it for the original note's Preorder thread. I am still struggling a bit with whether to reorder from them or wait for the at&t note.

I'm probably going to go with handtec again, though.
[Galaxy Note II General] DMax99:
Ots kinda sad that the note 2 screen is not fully hd. The rumoured htc 5 inch + the chinese brand oppo are said to to releasing their phablets with 1080p resolution with 441 ppi.

I personally won't buy them, but will love to play with them and compare them with the note 2
[Galaxy Note II General] non1oson:
lol@1080p on a galaxy note. that's just excessive. you couldn't even tell the difference between 1080 and 720 on a phablet. the screen is way too small to be able to tell
[Galaxy Note II General] DMax99:
Wow....there's a concept of the note 3 already....lol

[Galaxy Note II General] DMax99:
This is what clove has replied me today regarding the stock date on the 28th:

'It is pretty accurate - I think first stock may slip to 1st October, '

So not going to be the 28th after all?!
[Galaxy Note II General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Same here. I think the thing that may make me buy an AT&T subsidized device after over 2 years of giving them the middle finger and buying unlocked is best illustrated in my other thread. Care to drop your thoughts on that over there?
[Galaxy Note II General] ChodTheWacko:
Handtec just changed their preorder estimate to: Expected Release Week Commencing 1st Oct 2012

I consider this the 'official' should I/will I/did I preorder thread so I'll share my thoughts here.

Reasons to get international:

1) No bloatware

2) In theory, more developer support, since it's used worldwide, not just USA AT&T.

3) No contract.

4) International note gets updates more frequently, since we can use any country's update

5) Comes out a bit sooner (not that much though, looks like)

6) It's unlocked, so you can use cheaper plans if available. (Like straight talk)

Reasons to get AT&T

1) LTE. I assume this can be shut off to save battery if necessary.

2) If you are on AT&T anyway, it'll be significantly cheaper. $450-$500 cheaper, perhaps.

3) Should be a lot easier to return/get warranty work

Assumptions:

1) Both are same externally, meaning accessories are compatible worldwide.

If I could go international+straight talk, that would be quite awesome, and cheaper over 2 years than contract.

However I live in an AT&T dead zone so in AT&T land I need to use a microcell, which won't work on straight talk. @#&$(

I am actually now heavily leaning towards getting the t-mobile Note 2, paying in full, and using a monthly 4g prepaid plan.

Over two years, it'll still be cheaper in the long run. t-mobile development on the s3 looks okay. Not as nice as international, for sure, but you can pray they are 'compatible enough'.

It IS confirmed in HK the 28th 29th

Non wholesalers are paying 695$

Wholesale price are at 550$

At least that is what it IS out here.

But I expect the price to drop real fast.
[Galaxy Note II General] sherycash:
Where can I order wholesale price?
[Galaxy Note II General] DMax99:
You do realize that to get the wholesale price you will need to buy in large amount

[Galaxy Note II General] armyboy11b:
I wish I can get me the note || :/
[Galaxy Note II General] TheFamilyMan:
You know what's really making this interesting, T-Mobile is now offering a "bring your own smartphone" package. Sign up and receive your SIM card receive unlimited voice, text, and data for the price of $50 mo. There's got to be a catch somewhere for that kind of pricing, so get out the magnifying glasses and read, re-read, and read it again to find out exactly how they intend cramming as far up s as they can!

They are however offering some damn good competition as an alternative to Sprint. And Sprint is going to get a good run for their money. I know there's some catch somewhere with the $50 mo. somehow buy haven't read it thoroughly to judge if it's really worth jumping over to them though. I do know their HSPA Plus averages 42mbs as opposed to AT&T's 21mbs which rather impressive in it's own right.

Plus if the 42mbs is consistent as some say it's hard to pass up since it's basically considered 4G speeds anyhoo. Check out TMo's U.S. site for these plans. Although they're rather impressive I'd still say"buyer beware" and read line of the fine print before committing one's self. If I remember correctly with some of their other offerings you may be required to sign a 2 year contract which to me defeats the while purpose of buying an unlocked International smartphone.

But that's just my take on their "new offers".

[Galaxy Note II General] Viper2005:
So I placed an order for the white SGN2 with Clove today, and I got this message:

"Your order below contains a product which is currently unavailable and its final price is unknown. Therefore you can still place the order below but no payment will be taken - you will be asked to pay for this order when those details are confirmed"

They also didn't have a place for me to put in any credit card payment or anything. Is this normal for their pre-orders, and they will ask me for my credit card info later?
[Galaxy Note II General] jon1619:
k

ok
[Galaxy Note II General] ChodTheWacko:
It surprises me more that other carriers don't do this.

My logic is this : If they are subsiding your cell phone, then you expect a higher monthly fee. Part of it is to profit off the cell plan, and part of it is to pay for the subsidized phone.

But what if your phone is paid off? Why not offer cheaper monthly plans to keep them as customers? You can still profit off the plan.

A huge reason I am going to switch to T Mobile is to take advantage of their cheap monthly4g plans.

The guy asked a question on where to buy it and I answered I agree with you I don't like western union I was just relaying the information. Personally here in China we use ALIPAY.COM this is the Chinese version of paypal and it is about 100x more secure then paypal. The website is also in English at

Http://ae.alibaba.com this is what they feel comfortable here.

Plus I never offered anyone to sell I put the prices up there for peoples references so they can see what the markup is

[Galaxy Note II General] konceptz:
Looking at the ops join date confirms, but having bought 4 devices from them in person via their Manhattan storefront I can tell you they are legit.

Op may be a commercial but it seems they do carry the correct devices. My nokia n9 came from singtel and the gnexus came from overseas.

They did not, however, give me much warranty assistance when the phone died after 6 months. Just gave me a phone number and walked me out the door. I won't buy from them again because Sammy doesn't honor intl. Warranty in the us. And they don't do ship backs and replacements for you.

My personal suggestion is to shop elsewhere.

hii mate

HK u mean HongKong they shipping International ??

with unlocked Phone and 3G,4G Supported ??

anyidea for dealer that selling online in HK ??

thx
[Galaxy Note II General] DMax99:
Is they do ship internationally, I'm sure they will charge more than that price because they will want to make more money
[Galaxy Note II General] Viper2005:
Yes they will ship internationally. Most of the dealers will sell thru ebay. The 4G LTE model is coming later. These will likely be the international n7100 models with 3G only. All phones from HK are always unlocked.

Be aware of potential warranty issues if you buy from overseas.
[Galaxy Note II General] Reb0rn:
Dont understand all the fuss with LTE.

We have it here in Sweden but most city's doesn't even support it. And sometimes even 3G surpasses LTE speeds when enabled (we played around with my friends Galaxy s2 with LTE)

Nowadays WiFi is everywhere so why bother the extra price for something that still will hog your battery even more :silly:
[Galaxy Note II General] rp4k:
I just pre-oredered mine. Since I live in China at the Hong Kong boarder and I know some very once wholesalers I got a great deal for my personal device. 570$ USD. no tax :)

Dammit! After seeing people here talk about having their Expansys orders confirmed I checked the status of mine on their site and it was 'on hold' because they'd sent me an email and were waiting for a response from me. Of course they never actually sent any such email and it's only because I checked the order status myself that I noticed this. I've emailed them now but I'll be very, very honked off indeed if this ends up delaying the delivery of my phone...

[Galaxy Note II General] Twistedchild420:

[Galaxy Note II General] TheFamilyMan:
Still as of this morning MobileCityOnline is the ONLY reputable company offering the Galaxy Note II @ the price of $699 with FREE SHIPPING! Now I'd like to take some time to call out all those fools who had the cowardice to act like children, call names, make fun, question my integrity, and last but certainly least - accused me numerous times That I HAD TO WORK FOR MCO.

I hoped most of those knuckleheads increased the air pressure in their dingbat heads to sport a tad more intelligence and finally pre-ordered the GT-N7100's cuz they ARE GOING TO SELL MILLIONS OF THESE BEASTS AS SOON AS soon as doors open @ MCO, Negri Electronics!

As I've said all along - there's only one place to go and that is clearly MCO. If your in town make one of those bad boys' sure you take a cab ride over and grab a Titanium GREY GT-N7100 bright & early cuz they is GONNA SELLOUT @ MCO cuz of their impeccable service and pricing.

I've tried help everyone save some big money by Pre-Ordering or at this point head over to MobileCityOnline. THE WILL BECOME THE ALL TIME BEST SELLING SMARTPHONE TO DATE!

Now maybe you'll settle your tone down and act mature, and genuinely treat people with RESPECT, COURTESY, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY - TREAT PEOPLE THE WAY YOU WOULD WANT TO BE TREATED.

It's truly a great, HUMBLING experience when that occurs! I hope everyone has a chance to experience that someday!
