Lots of activity on the Verizon forums. Some say that pre orders will start at midnight. The discussion is leaning with info saying the phone release won't be until the end of Nov.. nobody has confirmed anything officially. Just talk from different customer service reps.

Sprint Store in Brown Deer WI has them in stock for sale tomorrow.

At the end of November I'd have enough money to buy it off contract :) I'm sure those VZW apps take at least a month to test... This delay BS is getting old on VZW
[Galaxy Note II General] piscesjoey:
Hopefully I'll be able to order one tomorrow morning when I call Sprint to return this GNex
[Galaxy Note II General] Toastyparty:
Puerto Rico here. Confirming that they have the inventory and are allowed to sale, but most salesmen don't know this yet. In my case they had to call headquarters to confirm they could sell it (T-Mobile). First one in the country to have one ;) awe yeah. I feel special. Anyways, make sure to tell them this if they say no or something, because they haven't publicly announced it in the website.

It's available for preorder at Verizon. But expected ship date is Nov. 27?!!!

[shop.verizonwireless.com/?id=galaxynote2
[Galaxy Note II General] impala454:
Joe, where did you see that expected ship date? I completed a pre-order last night and nowhere in the process was there an expected ship date. When I check my order status right now it shows "We've received and are processing your order", and says unknown ship date.

Just got my brand new Note II at my Sprint store in Boston

[Galaxy Note II General] ProCision:
Just got mine @ Sprint in BrownDeer in Wisconsin. Best Buy did not have them yet.
[Galaxy Note II General] impala454:
Answered my own question, now on the Verizon store, it has a red circle over the phone that says "Will ship by 11/27". Geez I hope it's sooner than that.
[Galaxy Note II General] SooooneR:

Ordered mine on Thursday around 11 am and just checked tracking and it is on the Truck out for delivery today. I love Sprint! Will love them more when we get 4G in OKC. :)

Canadian here, on Virgin Mobile Canada.

Just bought the N7100 from newegg.ca, unlocked. This is

NOT

the LTE model. I am upgrading from the galaxy nexus.

I can confirm that it works with full HSPA+ and cellular reception. Good news for early adopters, although not entirely surprising.

One thing to keep in mind: The N7100 uses micro-sim. If your phone (like the galaxy nexus) uses mini-sim, then you will either have to buy a new card (recommended) or cut your mini-sim to the correct size and dimensions.

Cheers,

[Galaxy Note II General] markp1989:
I'm planning on buying mine sim free in the UK soon, I hate being contracted in, my last contract was with t mobile from August 2010-2012, and their service went down hill so much whilst I was with them, so now I am not planning to contract my self in again.

whats the cheapest price for a new, unlocked, sim free Note ii anyone has seen? so far the best I have found is Amazon UK at £509, I can also get it from Amazon.de for 544.00 EUR = 437.189 GBP , why is the German site so much cheaper than the UK site?

any trust worthy sites/shops that have it significantly cheaper than the above?
[Galaxy Note II General] sonicthoughts:
Anybody hear that AT&T to ship Note II early?

Heard they might start shipping next week. Has anyone had cc charged? shipping notice?
[Galaxy Note II General] mofoliar:
Any word on costco and Big red purchase date? I really want one... If i didnt have unlimited data i would switch to At&t!

Hoping to pick up an n7105 tomorrow on its official launch day here in Canada. Popped in to my local Telus store tonight to check on stock levels and was told that they haven't received any units yet. Hopefully they'll be on tomorrow's delivery. Or I'll have to hope that Futureshop or Best Buy get theirs.
[Galaxy Note II General] nazman23:
good price 579.99 unlocked at dailysteals
[Galaxy Note II General] exparanoia:
The Canadian version isn't the n7105.
[Galaxy Note II General] wtmk81:
I checked a Telus close to my office Downtown today, they had no stock.
[Galaxy Note II General] Croptop:
It isn't? My understanding is that the n7105 is the LTE version of the Note II. The Telus website is showing that the phone will have LTE support (700/2100 MHz). I just assumed that this made it the n7105. If not, what model is it?
[Galaxy Note II General] exparanoia:
N7105 is the International LTE.

Canadian LTE (Bell, Telus, Rogers)

Anyone know why Walmart doesn't have the T-Mobile note 2 in stock at stores or online? T-Mobile is charging an arm and a leg and my genitals :'( wire fly has it for $279 but they require me to pick a data plan out of my grandfathered plan. Hit up two Walmart stores the rep said they will not be getting it
[Galaxy Note II General] scoobydu:
Planning on a sim free purchase soon too.

Anyone found the 16g for less than 506 at Amazon UK?

Cheers
[Galaxy Note II General] fishingfon:
Does anyone know if the 32gb note 2 is available anywhere in Australia? For purchase over the Internet or from the stores?. I have searched everywhere, but i cant find one, as i am waiting for a 32gb note to buy. Cos 16gb isn't enough for all my games ect.

If not, does anyone have any idea when the 32gb one will be available in Australia?.

Cheers

[Galaxy Note II General] Deanemau5:
Also interested in this or the 64gb version... as far as I know the only place these are available so far are in Korea, and they aren't compatible with Telstra NextG only the LTE network...

Hello, fellow Filipino! I got my Note II from Globe Telecom for Php 4,800 (~US$120) cash-out with a plan of Php 1799 (~US$45) per month, with a two-year lock-in period. :D
[Galaxy Note II General] Radam_:
I wonder if/when any carries in Australia will stock the 64GB version? At the moment there is only the 16GB one. Have 128GB of total storage (using a 64GB SD Card) would be really nice!

Any ideas when or if the 32 or 63 gb versions will be available? I'm sticking with my 2 year old HTC Desire hd untill I can get a 32gb 7105.,
[Galaxy Note II General] vash_h:
Recently makaysian government imposed rebate for purchase of smarty phones. rm200 subsidized. That's around usd50.

After that throughout Malaysia there is no stock for note 2. Interestingly there is still stock for iphone. I guess note 2 is more popular now compared to iphone 5. Previously iphone is the one that is always out of stock.

Where is this deal from ?
[Galaxy Note II General] SElGhamrawy1987:
Many countries are suffering from the lake of available N7100 handsets as the phone itself is very attractive, even end consumers do pre-orders, so even when Samsung releases a batch, it is not available as it has been all booked by waiting queue of pre-orders :)
[Galaxy Note II General] Daniel_Deega:
Thanks!
[Galaxy Note II General] zelendel:
Ok guys. Let me put my two cents in on this. The mod has the right idea. Having an availability thread is cool but we dont need another review thread, Now just be happy that these threads are allowed at all. Couldnt care less where the device is or is not available as that really doesnt matter to the Development of the device. I would have all talks about this in off topic if it was me. Now we dont need a thread for every country. XDA know nor cares about country boarders. They again mean little to the development of a device.
[Galaxy Note II General] sumeshd:
Thanx for suggestions..

Everyone from India coming to modaco??

I will request Paul and get started with the thread there..

How many of Indian owners interested??

I dont wanna be alone there..:p

Edit- these threads have been running for years now..I don't understand why the new moderations..why closing them when they are not creating any problems??

This is pissing me & many other members now.
[Galaxy Note II General] zelendel:
You want a reason? Because these threads hold no development value at all. The just waste space on the server. Could you imagine if every country did this?
[Galaxy Note II General] j89:
Yikes. Are we all drinking now? :cowboy: Isn't that what "General" is all about.. anything that is NOT development? Description for Galaxy Note II general is Discussion about the Samsung Galaxy Note II (general chat, tips & tricks, etc). I would have loved to put 10 cents worth of comments but that will be worthless IMO.

Oh BTW thank god you guys aren't running the Internet; it's such a waste of space :P
[Galaxy Note II General] shamps:
This is not the development thread, it general discussion. And we were discussing generally. No hard feelings though, i am fine with discussing here.
[Galaxy Note II General] sumeshd:
Till now there has been such threads running since months/years..

Development is done only in development/original development threads, general thread are suppose to help with other topics/problems concerned to the phone..

There is no development value in any of the general threads on any phone forums so why not close and delete the general sections from all phones sections all together then??

The point is all of the users and people are current or future phone owners and helping each other out, pouting out sites, places, availability, price for that specific country and its helpful for everyone rather than creating a common thread for all countries altogether and creating chaos based on currency, place, numbers differences..

General section doesn't need or bound to have development values..they are for general chat and talk concerning the phone..
[Galaxy Note II General] dryspuri:
I am holding my thaughts till now, I dont know how you are A MOD, this is not development section this is GENERAL section, thats it people i am up for Modaco, lets go there thats my next favourite site
[Galaxy Note II General] zelendel:
Look guys, plain and simple fact is there is no need for threads like them. General is about General info. I dont really care if you guys like the choice that was made. We do what is best for the site.

Now as for the comment above. General is about General info. Specs, Over all availability, pricing and off topic chit chat. Non of this is country spicific
[Galaxy Note II General] sumeshd:
Ok..requested Paul of modaco of opening of the phone section..

As soon as he opens it I will create a thread there and we can discuss there..

Leaving Xda as it is..

I will post the link to the new thread @modaco here asap..

Thank you mods@xda
[Galaxy Note II General] swapnilp18:
Well this reply was not expected from a MOD....discussing in general thread should be allowed...
[Galaxy Note II General] vagelis:
Reducing overall clutter in threads and sub forums is great, let's do it.

As far as availability goes, in the US, there has been mention of Oct 21 on att and early November for others. Given though that Samsung has an event scheduled on the 25th featuring the S-pen in the invite, the info does not seem to be definitive till then. Anyone knowing anything more?
[Galaxy Note II General] Clark Joseph Kent:
ALCON,

as stated lets move on and those that feel they need to move further on so be it, XDA will remain as it has been...Thank You.
[Galaxy Note II General] sumeshd:
Zillion different places in India with Billion different prices and millions of new offers on thousands of online sites are not country specific????

Well, let's just call it a day shall we..anyways we will migrate soon..

Thanks for the support
[Galaxy Note II General] zelendel:
I would do it by PM as you cant link to modaco. check the rules

Look the issue is not talking about it. The issue is some peoples want/need for talking about availability in one country over another. There is no real reason for this. It doesnt help the site as a hole and only fills up each device forum with useless threads.
[Galaxy Note II General] j89:
+1. Country specific threads just do that, reduce clutter :) Some get it, some don't :P

US availability would be the end of month after the event from what I could gather. Samsung got too busy launching the phone first in India (sorry, couldn't resist that one) :)
[Galaxy Note II General] sumeshd:
Well however you wanna play it..

I will pm all the 100 Indian owners..

Already got rply frm Paul he is setting the thread as we speak..

Thank you for your co-operation..;)
[Galaxy Note II General] shamps:
Good on you!!
[Galaxy Note II General] jusched:
Racist Racist Racist!!

I think all these mods are Racist!!! They have a problem just because it is Indians doing that. Shame on you.

I just registered to post this.
[Galaxy Note II General] egzthunder1:
And I just banned you for posting that...

This has gone long enough...

Listen, and listen well because I will only say this ONCE.

We are not racist nor do we have an issue with threads like the ones you want created. Having said that, Creating Nationality based threads does create a segregationist atmosphere throughout xda.

This place is a color-blind, religion-blind, nationality-blind forum, where we do not discriminate against ANYONE for ANYTHING (sex, sexual orientation, religion, ethinicity, political preference, etc). Creating threads such as "[country] Official Discussion Thread" is not something that is required to talk about devices that may be country specific. You could (and this is to counter the argument from above regarding the specs, availability, etc), instead of creating a "Country" specific thread, you could create a "DEVICE" specific thread. Guess what? Devices with different specs will have different model names and will be available in different places. No need to create a thread about Country specific talk when the forum is for device specific talk.

Were you even aware of the existence of the Social Groups feature on this site, which was specifically added to prevent this exact kind of situation?? In fact, if I am not mistaken, there is an Indian only social group which has been around since the days of WM.

Want to go to MoDaCo to create these threads? Be my guest, I have nothing against you leaving or against Paul opening up a sub forum for a specific device. If the other 100 people who agree with you also leave, then so be it as well. I am not holding a grudge if they chose to follow your lead. Sheeple will be sheeple after all. However, (and this is the reason why I am actually pissed) raising the race card does absolutely no good to ANYONE and in fact it just breeds more hatred between people. Just like I did with the person above, I will outright permanently ban ANYONE in this site, regardless of status, who brings up the race card in such a manner. People coming from ALL OVER THE WORLD in here have cooperated for almost 10 years for stupidity like this to flare up, and I will not allow anyone to compromise the foundations of this site with stupid racial-hatred half baked theories.

Want to create your thread? Go right ahead, I will not prevent you from doing it, but regardless of your motivation, it creates clutter whether you want to accept it or not, and thus it creates more trouble and a large workload for our moderators. In fact, one of the threads that I was pointed at earlier today (GS2 Indian owners thread, I believe)... I have NEVER seen a thread that has been acted on as much as that without being a development thread.

If the moderators in charge of this sub forum stated that no threads like this would be allowed, then I am sorry to burst your bubble, but you cannot create them. And by doing so, regardless of your motives, you are effectively breaking site rules.
[Galaxy Note II General] ithehappy:
Well I've a simple and straight brain (call me an amateur/noob or whatever) and it tells me that a single thread with all people from all over the world will create more clutter than 5/6 several zone specific threads. And in case someone ruins that single thread it'll be closed and other members will suffer for no reason.

And if it's all about development or civilised mannerism, then may I ask how some topics are alive with bashing other brands in silly language and manner and no one is bothered about it?

Give me an infraction for this message, I'll be happily accepting it.

This has now been dealt with by a Admin, its the absolute final word. Now please, this decision has been made, lets move on.
[Galaxy Note II General] egzthunder1:
A single cluttered thread is less clutter across a sub-forum than multiple thread... It is number of threads, not number of posts. Hence the creation of a SINGLE thread (easier to monitor).

I will not infract you as there is no reason to do so.

Now while I am not one to normally debate things once things are over but ill try and help you understand. We have to look on a much larger scale then I think your seeing. If this is allowed as people, want then we have to allow all. Can you image how many area related threads there would be? Not 5/6 but hundreds. Keeping everything on one thread makes it easier to manage and easier for people to find information, yes you may have to read alot of the thread to find what your looking for but there is an up side to that to. The up side to reading long threads is that you learn and learning is what we are about.

As for the other threads, you have to remember that this is a large site. I mean its bloody HUGE!!!!! we do our best but we cant be everyone at once all the time. Report button works wonders. Bashing other brands will always happen. Mainly when people dont look at the bigger picture.

Hope this helps a little.

Now for the racist comment. I stand next to the Above mod. Toss the race card and be tossed. Its plain and simple. None of that matters here. To be honest no one really cares what color, race,sex or any of it that anyone is. I dont care if your from Saturn, are bright pink with orange eyes with a birds feathers. None of that matters.
[Galaxy Note II General] egzthunder1:
and the problem with that is....? I use the same toilet as my wife at home. And when I am out of the house, I use a public restroom, many times, the family ones where both men and women go. Does that mean that you think of yourself as a higher person than the one by your side?

I am sorry but your analogy falls short on validity.

We will discuss with this the rest of the moderation team. For now, please refrain from keeping up with this discussion and return to discussing the main topic of this forum.
[Galaxy Note II General] shamps:
Damn!!! Note2 is indeed a powerful device!! So much heat here... LOL..

Returning things to normal talk, anyone received delivery from the Samsung e store in india??
[Galaxy Note II General] ithehappy:
Exactly the opposite. I meant privacy there! :confused: Wonder I have to type it out!

And I have NO more interest to post anything related to this, I really don't like too much posts behind my profile anyway.

But whatever happened, this decision, atm it might seem it'll do a greater good but it is NOT a SUCCESSFUL step IMHO, at all :o

Best of luck.

Dear Moderates

I have been a silent user of this great community since years. And I feel few points which were missed from both end.

1. When in all other phone sections Indian theards were running fine this was closed all of sudden giving Indian Users a shock

2. We were advised to open a new thread and then that was also closed , which created dis-satisfaction for India Users

3. Some of us should have not talked about sex/race and all

Any way this has been a great place and I have learned a lot from here and I respect everyone here but what is feel is that in last couple of year when XDA decided to open it for other devices made by other menufactrurs and not only HTC this place become really BIG giving a headache for MODS to manage the Forum.

I suggest the message could have been delivered nicely when the 1st Indian thread was closed and that did not happen, moreover if country specific threads should not be allowed then Mod should have not advised to open another thread just to close it later.

Rest this is a great place and it will continue to be irrespective of the Fact that we few hundred India user be here or not, but I request dont talk like you care or Dont care but please try to understand the sentiments of Indian users.

Regards
