I'm only asking because in post #15 he stated

"Plus I have a special treat for you all. Before it even gets released to you all.. Full root access. Just waiting on one ingredient from someone to give me the unlock key.. Which I will be getting that next week. . twrp recovery and superuser is already on standby... "

I'm not asking eta's, I'm just asking him because he posted it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Chris95GT:
No charges here, and no change on my order screen either. I was really hoping, can't wait to get away from my GS3 on Sprint
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keymaster911:
Still working on that sir..

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] hctimin:
LMFAO.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] rushless:

Winning! Not really, since early release would be nice.

On a serious side, would be cool if did release now, because then there should be some media reviews of the North American S800 version :)

Added: No sign of a review yet, but expected at least one US carrier version to be reviewed by now. Looks like VZW are sticking to plan, since no sign yet.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] MrBigFeathers:
Yeah that was me on Android Central. When the account manager views my order it still shows the 10/10 date. Not sure why it shows differently for me when I check the order with my account.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
contacted verizon and they told me 10/10 dont expect it any earlier
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] flascrnwrtr:
Yeah, because Verizon phone reps are a definitive source of good information. Not saying the early release is true, but to rely on what a Verizon rep says is equally unreliable. I had my Note 2 in hand and they told me that I wouldn't get it for several more days. Nuff said.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] rushless:
But what seems more likely? The "official" date published by the carrier, or second/third hand information of an early release with not a sign of even a media review or open box preview yet? Seems the 10th has more fact on it's side, but a few days early still seem a logistical possibility if people get home deliveries early. Result though is the 10th is more probable than today or next week.

This is not even the "fun" part. My own "source" says the Note 3 will be locked down like the S4 was with ME7. Let us hope he is wrong and is a source- in his mind only. :cyclops:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Han Solo 1:
Ooh a source duel! You say locked down and 10/10. OP says 9/29 and full root waiting.

Whoever is wrong must publicly apologize and then delete his account.

Really "equally"? I trust the answer of a pet rock over a Verizon rep when it comes to these things.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
man they are the smartest people i tell you! they all dont have iphones for nothing!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] rushless:
It is not an issue of what a rep said as much as the apparent "knowns".

An emphatic "will" ship on 29th that would be cool if true, verses the publicly stated 10/10. VZW does sometimes ship early a few days, but nothing in the past to bridge an eleven day difference. Since the rep is stating what VZW already said, that does not exactly seem a stretch of credibility. Seems reasonable, unless "10/10" was never stated.

Can anyone give an example of a flagship device shipping eleven days earlier than VZW stated? They have moved dates in, but that was with over a month warning they were moving a date in and they stuck to it within a few days of shipment windows.

No box previews or reviews yet, but they are going to ship early. The current information does not support it. The funny thing is folks in the thread are pushing back on posts questioning it, but not the emphatic "will" ship post that started everything. Cool if it does, but does not seem likely.

Added: What would be uncool is if there is a S4 refresh with the S800. Some good battery saving techniques in the chip and more efficient GPU. Cool I guess for people that would like an S4, that do not have one.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] LuczOr:
You know, the orders say "Will ship by 10/10."

I take this to mean that your phone will ship 10/10 at the latest. Who knows when it will hit the trucks. There might even be people who get them 11 days before others if the OP is correct. Shipping out millions of devices from one warehouse doesn't quite seem like a 1 day affair to me, but I must admit that I have no idea how shipping companies operate.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] untouchablez:
FWIW, upgraded my wife's line to an iPhone 5S (I know :-/) the night Verizon released them on the site and it stated "ship by 9/24" & it actually shipped out 9/22 (Sunday night) instead. Wouldn't be surprised if the note 3 ships Sunday night, any thing's possible with Verizon I guess.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] bajabob:
This is what I've been thinking. I know of three recent devices (posted earlier in this thread) that vzw shipped early. No guarantees but it is their more recent track record. I can wait. I've dealt with this dying galaxy nexus this long, what's a little longer.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] SgtGoldy:
Hell... A little longer is Hell....

first world problems
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] bajabob:
It is hell, but a couple extra days won't kill me. Having big red coverage is worth it to me. There are a million little things driving me crazy on this galaxy nexus. The light sensor isn't working anymore so when I take calls the screen stays on. The list goes on.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] flascrnwrtr:
That's the thing too... although I am ready for my Note 3, I don't have nearly the "hurry up" anxiety (with my Note 2, running Jellybean 22) that I did with my GNEX, when I was waiting on my Note 2.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] LuczOr:
You guys don't know what hurry up anxiety is. I am still on an HTC Thunderbolt. Slow as molasses, 768MB RAM, 480p 4.3" screen, heavy as a brick and barely able to run it's own Sense UI. At 1400mAh, I burn through 3 batteries per day. This upgrade has been a long wait for me.

The only thing that made this phone a usable device is rooting and installing AOSP ROM. Free memory went from 90MB to 260MB.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] SgtGoldy:
Im sporting the first Razr. I can't hold it against my face since it gets soooo hot. Also the lack of a removable battery means I cant buy a new one so i am charging it about 4x a day with normal use. I hate hate hate hate hate hate my Razr. Not to mention it constantly freezes. If I even think about googling something I have to be ready to also hard reset my phone.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
I got that thing on release one of if not my favorite phone to date. Extended battery for me lasted 15+ hours on chingys rom (floored people at Verizon) and phone was amazing with new 4g signal. & now the galaxy nexus that's a different story lol
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] LuczOr:
We are in crappy phone hell together. We can interweb high-five after we get our flagship monsters.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
They aren't in one warehouse. They are already spread out across multiple warehouses in multiple regions. All ready to go. If we rob a fedex warehouse we probably could have had weeks ago lol

One day for charges and labels and then the fun begins simple as that. Fedex, ups all have very good logistics don't you watch their commercials? ;)

---------- Post added at 06:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:57 PM ----------

Haha man you have no idea I'm on the Bionic right now and I'm lucky if I can send a text message in a timely fashion!!! Haha and on the plus side the battery makes it through the day!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] rushless:
Fair point! I just wish we could see a thorough review of the S800 version and especially the VZW one. Will be interesting to see if the radio reception has been improved. The S4 is okay, but not as good as DNA or newer iPhones.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] physicsguymatt:
I don't know about you, but I noticed my Nexus became really buggy and laggy once I made my pre-order. Either it's in my head... ...or my Nexus KNOWS... :eek:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keymaster911:
There not in any warehouse of fedex. Fedex dont sit on stuff. As soon as they touch any part of fedex. The shipping starts. For you getting a tracking number. Thats up to Verizon to supply that to the customer..

Save yourself the problem.. Don't ask.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
my bad I know it's not fedex warehouses cause when you place order it says what location it is coming from so Verizon has them in warehouses ready to go. Let's go rob one of those then
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Han Solo 1:
I am appalled. Simply appalled.

Warehouse robbing? Is this what we've been reduced to?

Tsk tsk
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] KruseLudsMobile:
I just called the northern NJ Best Buys and they don't have any Note 3's. They don't have them.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
I see you are using an iPhone. Therefore you would not understand the significant in the flagship note
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] YankInDaSouth:
So, they don't have them? ;)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] marcusdeshaun:
FYI if you have a FedEx account, the FedEx mobile app automatically populates any existing tracking numbers based on your address. The UPS app does the same thing.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] RaptorMD:
Do we really expect Verizon to have millions of dollars in product sitting at the Fed Ex hub for a week. I know we all realize how many pacakges process through Fed Ex daily, they simply don't have the room to just have stuff sit around. When they are ready they will get picked up and shipped out.

I am still very hopeful the early ship will happen but also a realist that ANYTHING can change. I lived through the HTC Thunderbolt debacle of rumored dates and changes galore so waiting 3 days or 13 days is getting to be the same. I get up, get ready go to work, do my job, come home, read the drool over the thought of my GN3 arriving early or at least on time and NOT getting lost.

We should all remember one thing, the OP didn't even have to share the inside info he was given and he did. We should flame on him if it doesn't happen, because stuff happens all the time and that is life. :eek:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keymaster911:
Thank you. Well spoken. Hands down on the write up...

Save yourself the problem.. Don't ask.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keymaster911:
Besybuy stores wont have Verizon n3 till 12th-14th.. The reason I know that. My boy works at there main warehouse in the Northeast... They have them there already in stock. But cant release them to a trailer. Till the 11th of October. And there going to be limited amount to each store the first few days.. Due to demand of the device.

Save yourself the problem.. Don't ask.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] bajabob:
These devices have to come through customs, they don't sit in a vzw warehouse or fedex warehouse, it's a drop-ship buffer location utilized just for this purpose. Devices don't just fill this spot instantly, they come in waves and move out accordingly. Once enough product has hit storage the company can ship without upsetting even more people who rush to the stores wanting the device. We are the very few compared to the millions who will want this device the second they start pushing tv ads and whatnot.

Oh and just to let everybody know [MENTION=410301]jbeitel[/MENTION], [MENTION=4201344]ForeverSupra[/MENTION] and myself are getting the note 3 will bringing real icon theme too!!

To get back on topic, I'm hoping my vanishing $1 pending charge means that sometime today I see the full charge go through (followed by a shipping confirmation email)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keymaster911:
Same here... But I put my charge on my Verizon account. So I won't know about my till the end of the month.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] stu5797:
I am trusting you and i really hope you are correct about these ship dates. Don't see how Verizon can ship these out more than 10 days early. If they did every other preorder would be expecting their phones much earlier.

AAAARRRGGGHHHH!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] billf2b:
Totally agree. If they ship tomorrow, we're ahead of the game. If for some reason they don't end up shipping until the around the 10th we haven't lost anything, just haven't gained a few extra days. In the past we've all been given info that sometimes turns out to be right and sometimes is off-base. I appreciate the OP sharing this with us, and will be ecstatic is he's right and a little letdown but understanding if he's not.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] ForeverSupra:
That can handle your graphics... lol. Note II did just fine at "handling your graphics" and it was still low-res as hell. Your one two faced asshole whose all about competition, what you said was uncalled for. "Its because grams posted on my thread." Big deal?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keymaster911:
Lmfao. . Your a funny dude...

Save yourself the problem.. Don't ask.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] pkd600:
The pending charge was only to confirm that your credit card was valid when you pre-ordered. Because Verizon never followed through and actually processed the charge, they go into pending or temporary charges on your card. It's just a hold placed by your credit card company in case the actual charge comes through. When a period of time goes by without the charge being finalized, your credit card company removes the charge. This has nothing to do with Verizon and nothing to do with a shipping date. You will see your credit card get charged a few days before October 10th and then it will ship on the 10th. Don't be fooled into thinking Verizon is actually going to ship these on Monday.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] YankInDaSouth:
Gotcha... I'm hoping for some sort of early shipping. I had it shipped to work because of the signature requirement AND if it ships the 10th the 12th is a Saturday and the office is close :( LOL
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Han Solo 1:
If my credit card is not charged on the 8th I'm going to cancel it and just get it in store on 10/10.

Why the pre order if there is no benefit to it?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] YankInDaSouth:
I agree ...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] SgtGoldy:

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] flascrnwrtr:
Just called the local Best Buy in Gastonia, NC and they said that they would have the Note 3 on October 10th. Just an FYI.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] rushless:
Seems the word "will" should not have been in the post though, since such an emphatic post is what created any "sensitivity". In spite of all information to date: VZW stating 10/10, no preview or review yet, and VZW not ever shipping flagships over a few days from a posted date (in this case ELEVEN days). There is a difference between stock sitting around and carriers green-lighting for retail purchase.

No North America S800 preview, yet alone review would suggest they probably will ship during the week of October 10th. That is far more likely than eleven days earlier than announced. Even the other carriers "inside source" info has been wrong as well. Case in point, At&t- several posts in forums have stated being told by inside people. The inside sources are rarely accurate, hence me treating that the N3 will be locked down like the S3 with a grain of salt. Will believe it when I see it. Added: That said, At&t ARE known for pushing devices earlier than announced.

I just want to see a review of the VZW version. Added: Detailed review with focus on the radio reception and battery life. Already know it will be very fast due to the S800. "Surely" we should see a VZW review this coming week..
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Sudbury78:
Hey guys im back in this and opposed to reading all 33 pages does the guru here have root access yet? Is it the only reason I wouldn't buy this phone if we cant get root. Back to your banter. Thx
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] physicsguymatt:
I still have faith. In the same way I buy a lottery ticket when the jackpots are huge. I know the odds of me winning are incredibly low, but I also spent the money for the chance to dream for a couple of days of what I'd do with the money.

So even if it's unlikely Verizon will ship this week, I like thinking they will. Helps me get though the weekend, this way I'm not thinking about a grueling 12 more days. If this doesn't pan out, well then it's Tuesday or Wednesday and I have a shorter time to wait impatiently.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] GTvert90:
Those waiting. Go to ATT they have them out on the shelf already. Go play with it and see how it is. the screen is gorgeous, feels better in your hand then the n2.

I'm going back and forth between pre ordering and just grabbing in the store.

Dude. You need to give it a rest. Between you and Han solo hating on everyone. Get off the computer, get outside, get a life beside hating on posts here. It childish to think that there are not thousands of N3 sitting ready to be shipped. Question is when will they be authorized to go. The answer to that. Is the go when they are ready to go. If 10 days if so terrible... Go to another carrier and for the love of Pete.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] TechBSwift:
This is going to sound completely absurd... but after thinking about the note 3 all day part of me hopes the phones don't ship this week. ( i know you're thinking wtf!!! hear me out)

After reading about knox and all the issues it's causing part of me would rather wait a little longer to be a 100% certain I want this phone. I love my note 2 and just sold it, but if we don't have the ability to customize our phone I would rather buy the Nexus 5...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Sudbury78:
Whoah what is this knox thing?? I actually popped into att and played with it. My first reaction was the screen pales in comparison to the g2 and s4. Not even in same ballpark.
