Just got a tweet that the phone is now available for pre-order on amazon wireless for $169.99.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0046RERVQ
Still no options for those of us that want to save money and mitigate risk by purchasing the phone outright for $549.99 though.
Pre-Ordered on htc.letstalk.com for $149.99, no tax, free shipping.
I just pre-ordered at Lets talk.com for 149.99 plus I will be trading my HTC Tilt2 which has a trade-in value of $75.30 to be also discounted from my purchase. I can't wait to receive this Freaken monster. Its early Christmas for me.
I don't understand why none of these sites will let me pay full price for the phone.
There is no way that I am going to add $20 a month to my monthly bill, be in a contract, and add over $100 to my total ownership costs.

Because they are in business to make money and they only make money from T-mobile if you get a contract and add services. htc makes the money selling just the phone. Either buy it from them or wait until it launches and get it at a corporate store.

Mine only goes up by $5 a month, ~60 overall but the savings are only about 5, so a permanent monthly loss for the convenience of not having to go to the store and being guaranteeing a device, no thank you.
if you go to letstalk.com and choose phones on the left side of the page you will find the device for pre-order for $549.99
it says: "Pre-Order Available to ship on 10/28/2010"
i'm not sure if i want to order it or wait for the dell to check it out
You can go to wirefly.com It has option "Get the HTC HD7 without a plan for only "
I took more benefit out of it because I canceled AT&T and signed up for new T-mobile contract. Can anyone give some pros and cons on T-mobile service? I was willing to take T-mobile for a test drive only for the HD7. The frustration of not being able to have the HD2 on AT&T is also my motivation.
Yes. Wirefly lists the phone for 529.99 without contract. You have to select "replacement device" to see the price off contract....
I use TMO in NYC and have no problems....to above poster.
Yeah just ordered mine. Got tired of waiting on Dell. May still pick it up down the road though

When I go to Letstalk I can only find the phone for $299 but another thing that is funny when you click on the specs for the HD7 it shows that is supports
Removable Memory Card - Type Micro SD Card
Maximum Memory Card Capacity 32GB SDHC
Scroll down. You will see the 150.00 instant discount and 149.99 total. I thought the same thing before I placed my order...
Finally after over an hour on the phone, I was able to get htc.letstalk.com to sell me the HD7 outright without a plan for $549.99.
I also got confirmation from 3 different representatives that the phone will be in stock on October 29th (this friday) and that my phone would ship out that same day via FedEx 2 day shopping.
Hopefully that all holds true and I will be enjoying my new phone early next week.

Dude.. can you give me the number where you called these guys??
EDIT: Scratch that. I got it on the website.
Pre-Ordered my HD7 via the LTC
I just ordered mine via the website itself. The first time around I did not get the option to get it contract free... But I am not sure what I did, but I suddenly saw the option to get it at full price. It also stated on the webpage that it would ship by Oct 29th. So I placed my order right away.
Hope this info helps anyone else who is interested. Of course, I was asked to call up between 9 - 11 along with my order # to validate carrier information before they proceed with the order.
T mobile customers are some lucky bastards lol. At&t DAMN YOU!!!!
Wirefly says ship date is Nov 8. Also on Letstalk site it says phone is "available" to ship on the 30th of Oct....Im reading that as not a definite ship date.
And as a side note here...I just googled reviews for Wirefly and there are some pretty bad reviews out there for them....Has anyone here used them?..Are they reliable?
Thanks.
I just pre-ordered the phone through letstalk.com
It says ship date 10/30 but when I placed the order and checked the status it says ship date is 10/27
Hopefully this is true

Hate to say but I think the ship/ projected delivery date they give after you order is generic. Ordered mine two days ago. Said it would ship yesterday and deliver today (I paid for overnight ) yet it still says picking item as of now. When I originally ordered the site said pre orders ship by the 28th. So I don't know when they plan to ship.

Just wanted to get an idea on imports from the various owners who have ordered their Note from an online retailer.
I expect some import duties on mine but I'm still curious, and this could prove helpful to anyone looking to get a Note and not be surprised by any incidental costs.
So, if you would please fine users.

Well I've pre-ordered My Note 4 From Clove UK & Now Just gotta sit back & wait till 13th October - Ahh well.
Anyone else joined the waiting game?

This is the third time a buy a Note from Clove, they require the payment a month in advance which is very weird they are very good in handeling customers but the note 3 was delivered a couple of days later last year vs other suppliers.

Presume this is so you are locked in, and don't get a chance to see what deals are about on release day, But at least you wont have all the problems of getting the phone on release day.
[/QUOTE] .....weird....
It's not weird at all, they are simply using YOUR money to buy the phone from their supplier which means they can do the entire transaction without any of their money involved. Cashflow is a real killer for phone sellers because they may have to find the money to buy over 2000 Note4's in just a few days which is a million pounds

Yes in the Android app you quote someone or reply & it applies it to the next post along, it's been like it for ages but I forget. I had to go to desktop site & edit it as no edit option in the app...

10th in the UK, 17th in the US.
Samsung Experience Store in Stratford are taking pre-orders from today, with stock not due until the 12th of October.
And their price is £629....with a £30 deposit required for pre-orders. Looks like Clove is a much better price.
Is the Instruction manual anywhere to be found yet?
Upgrades Pre-orders from the 26th
Samsung Electronics today announced that the Galaxy Note 4 will be available to pre-order from Samsung Experience Stores across the country, including the Samsung Store at Westfield Stratford City, from Friday 19th September, followed by other selected online and high street retailers including Three and CPW from Friday 26th September, before it goes on general sale on Friday 10th October.
Well, looks like I'll have to wait a little longer for my O2 upgrade.

I rang them at 11.45 am and they said £629 & £50 deposit. I am going to clove.
It's possible that I misheard them, or they've changed their minds about the deposit amount, I called before 11am.
Either way, their price is not competitive at all and no pre-order 'freebies' either. Last year for the Note 3 launch they were a bit more competitive if you traded in a cheap phone for the £50 discount offer on launch day.
Looks like the 19th pre order for us in the UK is a bit of a farce, if we can only order from a small number of Samsung Experience Stores, or a company who wants your money well before the release date. ( prefer not to deal with that kind of company )
Is there no online preorder from samsung ? seem like in the US you are able to preorder from Amazon.

After my N3 experience there's no way Samsung is getting £650 from me. Gona wait til after Xmas. 40-50% price drop and build quality issues resolved.
I'm new to the forums and I have never ordered through Samsung directly. Ordered the Prism Black S10+ 128gb on Feb. 22nd. I was given a shipping by date of March 15th. My shipping status is in process and the cancel button is no longer available as I was informed by chat March 1st with Samsung support that my order is in the process of being shipped. Anyone else in a similar scenario?

I might have been since my original date was March 15, but I cancelled and reordered so I could get the voucher instead of the buds. My new date is by March 22.

Out of curiosity, why did you cancel to get the 130 voucher instead?
Some are saying that orders will start shipping Monday. I feel that with the amount of errors and reorders I may have been pushed up a bit.

I already had the IconX which I like better and I didn't really like the white. If I really wanted the new buds I could get another color since the voucher would pay for them. My wife is needing a replacement tablet and the voucher plus the 700 points will go a long way towards that.
What have you gone for? Contract? Direct purchase from Samsung?
Been looking for a few days for a decent contract offer and ended up ordering from CPW, S21 Ultra 256gb £43/month 100gb data with the usual buds pro and smart tag offer, S10 trade in to cover upfront payment (most of it)
Any upgrade offers from Voda were garbage in comparison to the new contract deal so will be doing the PAC shuffle in a couple of months to get my years old Voda number on to my new Voda contract.
Samsung direct with student discount and trade in old phone, I can get Ultra 256 for £790. Just hovering over the "purchase" button.
Samsung UK Direct and they force you to pick a delivery slot via DPD on the 29th Jan. Interestingly though Three UK show delivery as 26th Jan and indicators from people in the US are that people have tracking info already and are expecting delivery 26/27th Jan. Will be super miffed if Samsung Direct ship after Three UK!
I noticed on my order it says delivery BY 29th Jan, confirmation email states "current expected delivery date 29th", and follow up email states "Once stock has arrived at warehouse, orders will be dispatched asap"

Yeah it says BY the 29th on Samsung, but then proceeds to make you chose the 29th as your actual delivery date with DPD. So even if it is available on the 26th, my delivery slot is the 29th.... maybe I'm missing something!
Ordered directly from Samsung as soon as the upgrade link became available, and it's saying 4 to 5 weeks because I chose the brown one rather than black or white. I'm guessing it'll still ship for the 29th however. At least, I hope so
Well... My order just changed to dispatched. S21 ultra silver. From Samsung UK.
Anyone else? Be so nice if it came tomorrow. I have another one, s21 standard, for the gf that states its preparing to dispatch.

Wow that would be amazing, no change for mine this morning, same S21 Ultra Silver Samsung UK. When you ordered did it make you pick the 29th on the delivery section (DPD slot)?.
It did make me pick 29th. And this morning there is no active delivery. Strange one.
Are dpd gonna hold onto it till the 29th? It's deffo getting lost then
amazon - and wont ship till 30th...those buying from samsung direct might get a few days earlier - the lucky ones - but with everything going on atm in the world - who knows

Nah, DPD are good at not losing things thankfully. They're about the only courier I trust as they've never let me down.

Same here, bought on the 16th. I opted for the 256gb Ultra model.
Ordered mine from Samsung Ireland in the 15th , still saying it's being processed
Ordered my 256gb Ultra with Three during lunch. Staying with unlimited data ect for £79 a month (first 6 half price) Contract wasn't up for renewal till April but they only charged £90 for the early cancellation so see that as a result. Currently a £170 extra trade in deal right now too so, selling the buds on top not bad to say the least.
Read people are having Klarna/finance declined so saves that hassle of going through Samsung direct.
They told me it would arrive by Tuesday at the latest.

Worth checking the non-student price - you get a better trade in value (£350 Vs £210 for an S10+) so it was actually slightly cheaper for me

Yeah, I checked. They gave me a better price for the 8pro but it was still £10 more expensive. Maybe there's a bottom limit they'll sell it for.
Ordered mine from Samsung for delivery on the 29th. The status is on 'Preparing Dispatch'. Samsung have always been reliable in the past.

Silver 512Gb from Amazon, delivery stated as due on the 30th. Had over £900 in Amazon vouchers, or would have gone direct from Samsung for huge trade-in on aging but serviceable 256Gb S9+. Instead that's probably going on eBay, with loads of extras.
