we wont get LTE so fast.... before a cellular network can buy the technology and put antennas, they have to win a compaction. only the winning one could put LTE. welcome to our messed up country :D

also, LTE supported phones are not very legal here.. you can buy and sell them, but no company can import a large amount (maybe no iPhone 5 :D).

so if i dont want LTE, should i buy the N7100?
[Galaxy Note II General] CrimzonEyed:
Was supposed to get mine tomorrow but got a mail from the store that said samsungs shipment was late so I won't get the phone until monday.
[Galaxy Note II General] lawtq:
I Don't like the sound of that! Hopefully this isn't happening in the rest of europe. That's annoying for u, bug Monday is around the corner!!

Take a sick off work, cryogenic freeze yourself over the weekend, coz the wait would kill me! Congrats! Please post pics and your thoughts on it when u get it!
[Galaxy Note II General] kojaraty:
I just contacted Handtec and they informed me that my order is being packed and i will be receiving the tracking number by today or tomorrow, woho :victory:!

It should take 3 to 5 days with Fedex to arrive to my address.
[Galaxy Note II General] lawtq:
Handtec uk? Nice! A shop that's actually admitted they have it in their possession! We know uk stores must have them in by now but no one I've tried has admitted it

Just called them, they say stock will arrive Tuesday or so, that they haven't got it yet, hmmm
[Galaxy Note II General] stesteste:
Mine ordered from hantec im in uk no delivery date as yet
[Galaxy Note II General] kojaraty:
I am in the US so may be they will dispatch my order earlier so it can reach on time, let's wait and see.
[Galaxy Note II General] jeux_1:
ordered mine from clove and would love to get the tracking number today ! ( I am pretty sure they already received the phones), I reckon even without tracking I would still hope the delivery tomorrow as a surprise lol. yes I still believe in santa.
[Galaxy Note II General] DMax99:
If it's being packed...they should be able to send it to you today or tomorrow....lucky you....let us know how you go with that tracking. ;)
[Galaxy Note II General] welshandy2322:
anyone put an order in with dial a phone or mobiles.co.uk had a credit check done yet?
[Galaxy Note II General] RRibeiro:
Expansys.pt has stock of the grey Note 2.

I just checked now.
[Galaxy Note II General] geek78:
white is also in stock :laugh:
[Galaxy Note II General] DMax99:
This is what clove has just replied to my email:

"Stock expected late tomorrow

Regards

Sales Team

Clove Technology"

This is awesome! ;))
[Galaxy Note II General] DanielW81:
Yes, expansys.de has it too. But why are they the only one to have it in stock?
[Galaxy Note II General] Bilhouse:
Nearly all of their European branches have them in stock now, but strangely the UK branch (who deliver from France) haven't received any. I hope this changes in the next hour or so, as that means I might have it in my hand tomorrow.
[Galaxy Note II General] jeux_1:
Thanks that means no Note II to play with this week end.
[Galaxy Note II General] Twistedchild420:
This looks like the best deal for US peeps...i think i will jump on this

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...8532?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item2c67d75dd4#sp_cr
[Galaxy Note II General] DMax99:
Yeah they have just replied another email saying that shipping will prob start Monday...so definitely no note 2 this week, which was expected.

PS. I'm very impressed with the speed of their email reply. ;)
[Galaxy Note II General] geek78:
mine (white) has been shipped now (expansys.fr)
[Galaxy Note II General] DubelBoom:
do you guys think price will be lower at ONLINE STORES at the black friday?

i need a store that i can order with an international credit card, and sent it to Portland, Oregon. (for example: amazon.com)

thanks :)
[Galaxy Note II General] barondebxl:
Are you serious!!??????? This is excellent news mate that means you should have it by Monday max! I also preordered from handtec so I cannot wait:D
[Galaxy Note II General] freemini:
View attachment 1358623 seems reliable. Changing mind after 6 minutes isn't exactly super trustworthy.
[Galaxy Note II General] DubelBoom:
they are just telling you the latest info they get from samsung... good job for them!
[Galaxy Note II General] freemini:
Yeah I guess you're right. I just want it faster that's all. If they get it tomorrow or Monday makes no difference at all. As long as its in my hands next week I'm happy.
[Galaxy Note II General] raix:
Mine has been shipped by expansys.de, too. Maybe it will be here tomorrow or on saturday at the latest.
[Galaxy Note II General] ShaKki:
it says clearly no delivery on saturdays.

so you'll get it prolly by monday...

i'll just wait till it's available for most online stores, 650euros is just too much for a few days earlier :P
[Galaxy Note II General] raix:
where does it say no deliveries on saturday?
[Galaxy Note II General] ShaKki:
http://www.expansys.de/delivery/

look at f)
[Galaxy Note II General] DubelBoom:
Why at expansys-usa they say Unlocked, 850/1900 3G and on the full specs they say (also for 3G) it supports 850/900/1900/2100? I need 3G 850/900/2100 (to support all carriers.. not yet sure if to move to another carrier).

So is this is OK? They say "Mfr: GT-i7100-GRY" but the intl' is N7100...

http://www.expansys-usa.com/samsung...tphone-16gb-gray-unlocked-850-1900-3g-236052/

(I'm waiting for the black friday to buy, but still, I want to be sure about everything from now :))
[Galaxy Note II General] barondebxl:
Chatting with handtec as I'm writing this comment, they're saying they expect stock on Monday.....
[Galaxy Note II General] spridell:
It's been reported that all these phones shipping out will NOT have LTE. For us people here in USA are we sure they will work with ATT HSPA network?
[Galaxy Note II General] nowy57:
in expansys e-shop in deutchland is in STOCK

I don belive a little that couse they didnt have preorders and by now thay have 100+ on stock - wired
[Galaxy Note II General] Funk2641:
850/1900

so yes
[Galaxy Note II General] welshandy2322:
Mine has move to awaiting stock with dial a phone :thumbdown:
[Galaxy Note II General] Reb0rn:
Mine is promised to arrive on Monday because of a delay.

I believe them this time too.

So now the bloody wait over the weekend.
[Galaxy Note II General] blorro:
Sweden,Katshing.se promised to ship tomorrow as phone lands tonigjt.
[Galaxy Note II General] Hendrickson:
Ordered mine from getgoods.de 569 euros + 14.95 DHL EU delivery. Shipping in a few days....

Edit: Use google chrome to translate the pages for you and you dont even need to register to buy it. I will let you know how I get on but have ordered before from them and they are good. Not the fastest, but I dont mind waiting 2-3 days more to save 80-100 euros.
[Galaxy Note II General] non1oson:
first person to post up a picture of the note 2 gets a thanks from everyone in this thread _b har har.

too bad I live in NZ and will prob have it a week after everyone else :(
[Galaxy Note II General] Hendrickson:
Try http://pbtech.co.nz/ if they get it or http://www.parallelimported.co.nz/? I'm from NZ but live in Spain now...
[Galaxy Note II General] mariol66:
im from the us does anyone know of a site hwere its in stock and is shipping to the usa?
[Galaxy Note II General] daraj:
Non of the US sites has them in stock yet. I suspect they will have stocks sometime beginning of October. However, you can pre-order from Expansys-usa, Negrielectronics or Mobilecity online.

Uk sites that ship to US: Clove.co.uk and handtec.co.uk
[Galaxy Note II General] msx999:
just preordered my upgrades with P4U and promised £200 cashback too...Was told phone wil be delivered on Tuesday2nd but not gonna get my hopes high as will probably arrive by the following week...
[Galaxy Note II General] CrimzonEyed:
Have ordered from the swedish website katshin.se and they told me they will send it to me now on friday and it will arrive on monday.

Going to be a long and boring weekend -.-

Maybe will go a bit faster than usual since I have to help me mom move.
[Galaxy Note II General] spridell:
I am from New York and I have ordered many phones from Handtec. They ship same day when in-stock and every single time I have gotten the phone next day at my house. They use FedEx.
[Galaxy Note II General] ciscostud:
FedEx got good overnight shipping. My last phone went from UK through USA to Canada under 20 hours.
[Galaxy Note II General] barondebxl:
Same here, previously ordered an HTC one X from handtec in the morning, got it here in the US the next day in the afternoon.
[Galaxy Note II General] non1oson:
cheers, I've gone through handtec. nick - customer service is good.
[Galaxy Note II General] Deaj:
I have a pre-order for a marble white N7100 through Negri Electronics. I plan to use this as a WiFi mini tablet / PDA rather than a phone. I'm planning to replace my ASUS TF700 tablet wigh the Note II (a 10.1" tablet is too big to carry daily). I may give it a go as a phone though I'd rather not ditch my rock stable (and quite capable) HTC Sensation 4G (v2.3.4 Gingerbread). For the short-term I'll just use the HTC as a WiFi hotspot for the N7100. Regardless of how I put the Note II to use I'mpretty sure it'll fit as an every day carry device.

I wonder when Negri will receive their N7100's..... Have to wait and see I guess. :)
[Galaxy Note II General] mobilebuddha:
for those of you in USA that want to use the Note II on AT&T's LTE bands, be careful ordering from international sites/expansys usa/negri/etc right now. I think the N7100's LTE bands are 700 and 2100. If I remember correctly.. AT&T's LTE band/frequency is in the 1700mhz range. -> this means it's highly unlikely that N7100 would work with AT&T's LTE network. It'll work with the HSPA+ network that AT&T has, however.

For me.. I'm on one of the at&t prepaids, so I wouldn't care (my prepaid provider do not provide LTE service anyway). I'm looking for a HK version.. where o where r thou?

Edit: I was wrong.. But.. I still think it's best to wait if you want to guarantee AT&T LTE compatibility (esp considering that the AT&T version would be exactly the same as the international version spec wise, except probably for the radio to support LTE)

here's what I pulled off of wikipedia:

USA Carrier	Voice Frequencies (MHz)	3G	4G	3G Technology	4G Technology

AT&T	1900 Band 2, 850 Band 5 MHz	1900, 850 MHz	700 Band 17, 1700/2100 MHz	GSM/HSPA+	LTE

source:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_frequencies#Frequency_bands_used_in_the_United_States
[Galaxy Note II General] Viper2005:
The n7100 has no lte capability at all actually.

The international model with lte is the n7105 and it's not available for pre order yet.
[Galaxy Note II General] @home:
Just had an email from clove UK - Delays of 2 weeks for the Grey Note 2 - Way to go Samsung :mad:
[Galaxy Note II General] stesteste:
I hope its just clove and no where else
[Galaxy Note II General] RavenY2K3:
After reading your message I rang Handtec, to ask if this is the case with those guys and was told by the sales guy that everything is looking good for the Note II arriving at their warehouse today, with Monday as a possible latest and soon as they come in, they'll be shipping them out.

He also said, to save ringing again, just to keep an eye on the website, because as soon as they come in to stock, it will say so on there, as they will want the whole world to know.

So I'll be keeping a watchful eye on the site as the day progresses and update this thread when more info comes available, unless someone gets it here before me of course. :D

Swyped from my finger to your face, on my Samsung Galaxy Note.
[Galaxy Note II General] ShaKki:
Amazon Germany got it in Stock now for incredible 800Euros! Other Sellers at Amazon got it in Stock as well for 613-615 Euros ;]
[Galaxy Note II General] M3xital:
Just got mine (Samsung Galaxy Note II (EU, 16GB, Titanium Gray)), ordered at Expansys for €659,00 :)
[Galaxy Note II General] DanielW81:
It looks like expansys is running out of stock. They used to write "more than 100" now both variants are at about 60.
[Galaxy Note II General] spridell:
Handtec also now 2 week delay on Grey models. They just posted on their website.

Anyone changing to white?
[Galaxy Note II General] DMax99:
Wo wo wo.....sorry to hear that...do you know if the white ones are also being delayed?
[Galaxy Note II General] Twistedchild420:
This could quite possibly get me to switch to white. Lol. Expansys usa also says the.white ships in 5 days. Still says preorder on the grey.
[Galaxy Note II General] soukie:
That's suck!, I pre ordered the gray one too, now I have to wait for 2 more weeks? :mad:

I will stay with gray.
[Galaxy Note II General] non1oson:
not me, never been a fan of white phones. this is kinda annoying really.

it's a tactic if you ask me. release white. the keen as cvnts will buy it and then buy a silver one as soon as the silver one comes out because they prefer the colour. a lot of people can afford to do it. samsung are taking advantage of them and pissing us all off lol...

same with 32gb and 64gbs, release 16gbs first, we'll all pay a grand for it, then in 6 months time we'll upgrade to a 64gb. then hello, rinse and repeat on galaxy note 3 6 months down the line :highfive:

I mean look at apple, they do the exact same thing, released that crappy white iphone before the black one, 1 or 2 iphone days?

edit: see look at twisted, classic example lol
[Galaxy Note II General] stesteste:
Says ob hantec site

Stock Update: Delayed Expected Release Week Commencing 10th Oct 2012

Trying to get intouch with them about the white 1 is that still due on 1st oct? anyone been intouch
[Galaxy Note II General] non1oson:
stop it, you're killing me
[Galaxy Note II General] spridell:
White one still on schedule to ship on Monday.

[Galaxy Note II General] Twistedchild420:
Yeah my last Note was white. Was happy with it. I want this phone ASAP....will do what i have to do. Plus resale value is always higher on the white models. #Racist lol

Also these bro's still have grey's in stock

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...0720728532?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item2c67d75dd4
[Galaxy Note II General] DMax99:
Thus is the email reply I got from clove regarding the amount of their white stock and availability to fulfill all the preorders:

"No need to worry, we will have enough of the White version to cover all of our orders, including anyone switching from Grey to White. We will inform you via email when your order ships"

Once again...I'm very impressed with the speed of their email replies.

So I guess any of you on preorder grey can always switch if you don't want to wait. :p

Personally I can't wait to get my white one. I love the white colour S3 I got for my wife 3 nights ago. :)
[Galaxy Note II General] lawtq:
Oh Samsung. Many shops reporting grey delays!! Clove have asked me if I want white, I said OK.

Someone from apple teach Sammy how to do a proper launch please! No 32 or 64gb, no lte and no TV antenna, if that even exists, now no greys!

It doesn't take a genius to know the darker models will out sell the lighter! Dryness personified!

Whites OK I guess, a matt black would have ruled!
[Galaxy Note II General] nowy57:
I also had an information from CLOVE UK that they dont have any white n7100 :(

I have canceled my order and order grey in EXPANSYS DE

paid and wait for ship

they promise that will send it today (we will see)
[Galaxy Note II General] DMax99:
You meant they don't have the grey one right? Because they have told me they have plenty of white ones.
[Galaxy Note II General] lawtq:
Clove told you no grey you mean?
[Galaxy Note II General] deymayor:
If OP owns MCO and this thread gets him 20 new orders, it will pay for the phone itself so i don't see a problem with this.

[Galaxy Note II General] DanielW81:
It looks like it's quite the opposite in Germany. Most retailers expect to have the Grey ones before the white...
[Galaxy Note II General] nowy57:
my bad :)

of course I mean they dont have grey
[Galaxy Note II General] spridell:
Handtec just said they MAY be getting Grey stock in on Monday;

Here is email i just got:

!!!! STOCK UPDATE !!!!

Dear customer.

We have just leaned that we may be getting stock of the Titanium models in on Monday. We are advising that you please wait until Monday before making a decision on how you would like us to deal with your order.

Many thanks.

Just bought mine in hk. Awesome!! Ditch out iphone 5. :cool:
[Galaxy Note II General] Icecold2012:
just ordered it at getgoods.de :) (the grey one)

hope the "available in 2-4 days" is correct :)
[Galaxy Note II General] ciscostud:
Ya I called them about this and really pressured the Handtec Guy over the phone.

I asked him from a scale 1 to 10 how likely would grey arrive before Oct 10.....He seemed honest in saying "2". I already told him I would never swap for WHITE so I felt he was giving me his opinion.
[Galaxy Note II General] stesteste:
Thats weird just got this from hantec

Dear customer

.We are emailing to inform you that we will have the WHITE Galaxy Note II in stock later on*today*and will be dispatching orders placed for that model on Monday. We realise that you have ordered the TITANIUM model but thought we should ask you if you wanted to change to white as we are not expecting the titanium version until week commencing October 10th.Also, we have learned that the SIM free stock is not 4G capable, only 3G capable so if you wish to cancel your order for that reason then please let us know

No 4g do we really need 4g in uk as it isnt out yet what do u guys think

---------- Post added at 03:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:03 PM ----------

[Galaxy Note II General] stesteste:
"""""another update """""

just spoke to hantec and the man said they might be getting grey in stock on monday from suppliers he said its a good chance grey available they will know today but after hours so we will not receive emails confirming this,

so he said if we receive on monday and you have got next day delivery it will be tuesday now fingers crossed ,,i wont sleep now i am like a kid at xmas im 44 its not right i need to grow up ...not
[Galaxy Note II General] Reb0rn:
Mine is shipped with tracking and will arrive on Monday. The wait is unbareable...

Lol....count yourself lucky....I have to wait until earliest on Tues... :p
[Galaxy Note II General] stesteste:
what about the 4g guys no one bothered

Also, we have learned that the SIM free stock is not 4G capable, only 3G capable so if you wish to cancel your order for that reason then please let us know
[Galaxy Note II General] DanielW81:
Am I the only one who has a hard time justifying to spend that much money on a phone? I mean there are other things I could use it for or save it. I don't really need it, it is more or less just an expensive toy, but I want it so badly ;)

Are you that rich that it simply doesn't matter?

(I already ordered it yesterday at expansys for 660 eur including shipping :eek:)
[Galaxy Note II General] sencity915:
Yeah, me too. The price is way too high in my opinion, but it is the one item you use everyday. I too preorder the white one from handtec.
[Galaxy Note II General] Twistedchild420:
"It ain't trickin if you got it" Words to live by
[Galaxy Note II General] barondebxl:
I just chatted with handtec, I'm happy with what they said:

Me: Good morning, I wanted to ask you when you expect stock for the galaxy note 2..

Handtec: hopefully later tonight

Me: this is good news. Can I give you my order number, id like to know my position in queue, if I'll be able to be among the first shipments. My order number: xxxxxx

Handtec: let me check..... we will be able to ship all orders on Monday, including yours

Me: Thanks, awesome ( lol hahahahaha)
[Galaxy Note II General] welshandy2322:
Has anyone been given delivery date for gray model.
[Galaxy Note II General] Reb0rn:
Haven't seen any unboxing videos for the note 2. I wonder if those awesome headset that arrived with original note is still bundled. That would be sweet.
[Galaxy Note II General] CreepyDroid:
People started receiving grey Note 2 in from Expansys France since yesterday, here's a photo posted in a frensh forum:
[Galaxy Note II General] DMax99:
Looks like the Note II box is bigger than the Note I box :p
[Galaxy Note II General] CreepyDroid:
Well the note 2 is bigger than the note 1 so the box has to be bigger. The bad thing for grey owners is that the charger, headphones and usb cable are all white.
[Galaxy Note II General] ChodTheWacko:
What's up with that black Note.
[Galaxy Note II General] welshandy2322:
Anyone got an order with mobiles.co.UK
[Galaxy Note II General] CreepyDroid:
It's not black. The color changes heavily with light, just like the blue GS3. It can go from really dark grey like in that photo, to a shiny bright silver.

They'll ship it Monday, you'll get it Tuesday afternoon.

From Clove's SGNII page:

"Marble White - NOW IN STOCK - Shipping on Monday 1st October. Titanium Grey - Delayed until approx 15th October."

And from their blog page:

"We can confirm that we now have IN STOCK the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 in White."
[Galaxy Note II General] mancuk29:
Amazon uk is even worse !

16th oct for white and 1st nov for grey

Only on pre order at £529

Amazon are usually better than that
[Galaxy Note II General] barondebxl:
Both handtec and clove have the white one in stock and both will ship all orders on Monday. Its great! As far as the grey one, its delayed until around mid October.....
[Galaxy Note II General] mancuk29:
Wonder why the grey is delayed anyone found out ?

Screen issues ? Quality issues ? Flaky paint like the iphone 5 ? :rolleyes:

I've swapped to white and clove dispatching Monday :)
[Galaxy Note II General] Mushroom.:
I hope you're right. Shipping services are notoriously slow in my area; I'm in a fairly low population zone.
