Folks say that TMO's will not have locked bootloader. I'm waiting for them...but likely will not do pre-order as I want to be sure it is not locked. I'm thinking making the assumption it isn't locked is not necessarily the wise thing. My luck, I'd purchase it and find it is locked.

Did you have to go in store? My nearest store is London but it's a 2 hour drive away! Surely they should be able to accept pre-orders over the phone.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] lonelyw:
Yes, try to find a local store near you, the store I went to was a CarphoneWarehouse store before, actually the receipt they gave me has CWH on it, try to find a CWH store close to you and ask them (they are partners with Samsung).

"First stock expected week commencing 13th October"
[Galaxy Note 4 General] apprentice:
Jeez.. Samsung sure are ripping off their early buyers. If Clove pull off their £575 inc VAT price then I will gladly wait 3 or 4 days and order from them, saving £55 and my petrol money to drive to London!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Delakit:
Lol. Both of you will be waiting for quite some time.

Also, FYI -
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Magnesus:
First preorders in Poland are priced at 2999PLN which is about 717 euro or 920 usd or 563 pounds (we have 23% VAT). But the shop that has that price has probably set it to a safe margin, so the phone will almost certainly be cheaper when it arrives.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] RCJ89:
I just went down to the samsung store stratford today and pre orderd mine as around the launch time I am working and wont have the flexibility of waiting around for deliveries and I don't have anyone else available around that time for deliveries either. So i just said screw it ill pay the extra £46.

They did say aswell should the price drop between now and launch they will refund the difference. Fingers crossed that at least another £30 comes off! unlikely though.

Also carphone have just reduced the note 3 price from the ridiculous £660 to £530 and I do not think they will be selling the note 4 at say just £50-70 more than the note 3. Especially as they were selling the note 3 for £660 a few days ago, so I am expecting £630-660 for the note 4 from them.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Squirrel_Master:
I'm pre-ordered in White at my local Samsung store in Edmonton, Alberta. No pricing or release date yet but I'm on the list anyways. I hope we see it the same time as our southern neighbors but we'll see I guess.

Australia got screwed, $950AUD RRP and October 29 release >_<
[Galaxy Note 4 General] apprentice:
Although you'll wait a couple of weeks, $950 Ozzie dollars works out at around £515 - so technically you aren't as screwed as us Brits !

---------- Post added at 01:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:13 PM ----------

Yeah, don't expect the price to drop before launch! It's sad that Samsung won't match the online deals or at least offer a free case or something. They just don't seem to care too much about those early buyers.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] gtalum:
I wouldn't hold my breath. That appears to be for South Korea only. Moving up distribution in South Korea is one thing, but they can't make the container ships go faster to take them to the US.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] daraj:
I thought they used Cargo planes! :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Gareee:
It also appears to be the first week in October for India as well now. I've seen products delivered to warehaouse months in advance of release, and many products are in store weeks in advance of launch (like the ps4, which was in our best buys lockup 2 weeks before the launch date) A drop shipment could easily be overnighted, and fed ex delivers overnight as well.

Expecting to see them in hand on Friday is unrealistic, but seeing them first week in October wouldn't suck.

Even a week or two sooner would be nice. ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] gtalum:
They probably do. I was being dramatic.

Even so, with the kind of large shipments we're talking about they can't just call up a cargo company and tell them to ship it sooner, and you still have customs delays to deal with.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Gareee:
They could already be in warehouses in the US awaiting the launch dates. It would be pretty easy to release the floodgates, and allow sellers to ship to stores early.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] wase4711:
can someone tell me why anyone would bother to pre order this phone?

you dont get the phone any earlier than you would by just walking into a store and getting it; maybe by a day or so, but thats it..

its not like they are going to run out of these things when they come out, so what am I missing here?

if it gets damaged in shipping, you are SOL

if its DOA you are SOL

So why bother pre-ordering?

I've never done that in my life with a cell phone, so please educate me
[Galaxy Note 4 General] rushless:
Not with that now well published 10/16 pre order cut off for $200 off. An early release would create an epic cluster flook. Not happening. At least not in the US.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] borijess:
I think the only reason I am thinking of preordering is to take advantage of the special offers. Other than that I wouldn't preorder it myself.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] rushless:
There are at least 200 reasons in the US.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] wase4711:
so, if you are on tmobile, and will be trading in your current phone to "jump" to the note 4, is it confirmed that you can bring a junk,ebay phone in at the same time and get 200 bucks from Samsung, as long as its worth at least 10 bucks to Tmobile? I didnt think you could use "jump" in a pre order; I thought you had to bring your current phone into a store to be able to use "jump"

I'd like to see that 200 dollar rebate offer in writing on a tmobile document..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] force70:
I always do it, can cancel anytime even if it shows up at the store and I have one.

Odds are good yes I can pick one up launch day but just in case....

My note 3 and S3 were both pre ordered and I would not have had either one launch day if I hadn't done so...dont expect that to be the case this time though.

Maybe its just one of those "I do it because I can scenarios" lol.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] ricanbandit:
All major carriers ship their phones insured. So if it gets damaged in transit you are not SOL.

All major carriers have warranties on their phones so if it is DOA you are not SOL

Why bother pre ordering? because I'd rather have it delivered to my house instead of going to the store to buy. Because I usually work about 11-12 hours a day and want to get home instead of dealing with sales people and waiting on others. makes perfect sense for me.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] wase4711:
believe me, I get why folks like you do it, who are super busy with work and such, and yes, I know if its damaged in shipping you will get it replaced..

it just seems like lots of people are pre ordering, and not sure that most of them are super busy like you; I guess if you live far away from a store it makes sense then too..

but, dont you want to touch and feel the thing before you plunk down 800 bucks for a electronic gadget?

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Baratheonist:
You can use jump to preorder online. Log into your tmobile account and click the phone tab. It'll show which linked phone can be upgraded. Steps are clear and easy to follow. You will have to mail them the phone you are jumping from within a certain date (mine's 12-23). Conditions and terms apply.

This set up works for me because I won't have time to go to a tmobile store at launch due to work. Plus it gives me time to transfer my files, sorting,checking etc. For in store jump you will have to turn in the phone the moment you upgrade. That's what CSR told me the general policy is. Although i feel a few store managers might bend those rules at their discretion and risk. So naturally all steps for an easy transition of files and setups should have been done when you jump in store. On line jump gives you time to fix any mistakes on your part.

---------- Post added at 02:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 PM ----------

Btw, Jump and trade-in are 2 different programs. $200 credit applies only to the trade in program/rebate using any $10 or greater phone. Jump applies to only a specific phone enrolled with the jump subscription. Do not interchange or confuse the 2.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] wase4711:
yeah, I am friends with a few folks at my local Tmo store, and they never rush or hassle me when I return/jump/trade a phone in..

I decided not to preorder, even though I will lose the 200 dollars or so on a "ebay" type trade in.

I want to touch,feel, and make sure I like this phone before I commit to it, and this is my last free Jump for the next 4 months, so I dont want to make a mistake..Plus,I want to wait a couple of days after release to make sure there is no major problems that arise, which is always possible with a new release..

Look at the fiasco going on with IOS 8.0/8.1 and the bending issue with the Ibone...

With rogers just because I pre ordered doesn't mean I have to even buy the device. I can get it and say yay or nay with out any issues.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Baratheonist:
Good for you man. I look like a scruffed, non-trustworthy person so i doubt i'd be extended the same convenience as you in-store. Online is a good thing. Lol

As to your other issues, every major android site review states it is better already. I trust their opinions so it's a non-issue to me.

And you can always return within 14 days.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] wase4711:
maybe a shave and a haircut would make things better for you then?

J/K...

anyways, I never ever trust any review site; I prefer to use my own brain to decide what I like.

one of my favorite phones of all time, the htc one maxx, was universally disliked by all the "expert" reviewers, but everyone who actually owned one loved it..and, of course, take a look at the love affair that every web site has with the IPhone...sorry, I dont listen, pay attention, or care what any reviewer says about any phone I am interested in..

and, yeah, you can return the note 4 within 14 days if you dont like it, but, what if, like me, you have to turn in your sweet M8 on tmobiles jump plan, and then I decide I hate the note 4 after a week or so; then what?

I've learned to be patient with all new things electronic, so I dont mind waiting a day or two after release, to confirm no software/operability issues, and to play with the note 4 extensively and use my own brain and make my own decision about it.

[MENTION=2564537]wase4711[/MENTION] -

I have been a Note 1, 2 , and 3 user. Each version had its strength, weakness and quirks. But to me, every iteration had been an improvement over the other and the over-all functionality of the note series is nothing but amazing. I am going by that proven track record and so I am very optimistic and confident the same will hold true with the note 4. Couple that with excellent initial reviews , you get why I have no qualms with pre-ordering. Incidentally, this is my first time to pre-order. I am not pre-ordering simply because I am giddily excited about getting this new device. And re: my use of reviews , such is an over simplification of my selection process.

I see now your gripe is with "pre-ordering" alone, as you can substitute the note 4 with any other phone , and you would still be dissatisfied if it wouldn't hold up against your M8. Go ahead and do your in store purchase. Makes very good sense from your perspective and situation. But pre-ordering is not a bad and unwise decision the way you are making it seem to be.

Life is simple, if you keep it that way.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] wase4711:
sorry if you think I am "against" pre-ordering; its just not what I want to do, but hey,anyone who thinks thats the best thing for them, then go ahead and do it, as I AM for people making decisions on their own, and I respect anyone who does that..just because its something I dont choose to do, by no means makes me think my way is the right way...and, I agree, every version of the note has been an improvement over the previous one, in some shape or form, and this one will be better than the 3; but, I am not sure alot of "3" owners will be rushing out to get the "4", as it may not be a big step up for them.

My last note was a 2, so for me, this one will be a major upgrade from that

I just want to make sure that I will be as happy with it as I am with my M8..I'll know after playing with it for 5 minutes, most likely..

different strokes for different folks!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Bruce lee roy:
this is a smart consumer decision, especially pertaining to smartphone purchases. Smartphone technology is progressing so fast, there's often very little time to field test new products and components. Take the iPhone plus for example; consider how many poor schmucks wish they had waited for the first batch of genuine pigs to reveal what a sorry piece of crap that phone is before committing their hard earned cash. And the iPhone wasn't the first and nor will it be the last of such case.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Patch7:
I would only do a preorder so I could take advantage of the guaranteed 200.00 trade in offer from Samsung if completed by 10/16/2014. However I am very unsure if I want to do this if we are not even sure these phones will have root access. I definitely like being able to customize and install whatever rom I choose. I am able to do this on my note 2. If I buy this and trade my phone in for that offer and don't like the note 4 I am out of my note 2. If I knew for sure it would have root, I would order it with no hesitation whatsoever.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] BigJPNut:
My Note 2 is my active phone. Could I use a working Galaxy S2 for trade-in of a guaranteed 200.00 trade-in value, therefore retaining my Note 2? Thanks in advance.

speed of the phone is awesome

the look of the phone is awesome and the feel of it is even better, feels solid and premium

the screen simply sells it to me before even exploring the phone

I played asphalt 8 aswell - not a stutter extremely smooth performance

I just can't wait to get my own

Phone is fantastic definately worth the extra over the note 3 which is selling for £459, which is a drop compared to even a week ago where it was £489 previously £549.

That's what my order stated when I placed it, so I really don't understand why these dates are all screwed up!
