So there, UK people with your measly UKP 5 offer!
http://www.amazon.ca/gp/browse.html/ref=pe_167470_119348480_pe_button/?node=9433168011
But apparently only applies to newly-purchased Chromecasts from June 9 - June 30, 2014.
Also available for Chromecast purchased through other retailers, not just Amazon.ca.

Thanks for the heads up! I was on the fence about getting one, but since Google Music is open in Canada and I plan to continue purchasing music through it, the $20 will be put to good use. I unfortunately ended up spending way more than the $39 for the Chromecast, since I also needed an HDMI splitter to accommodate all these extra devices :fingers-crossed:

Just a cautionary note to would-be device buyers from the Play Store - my girlfriend has had a dreadful experience trying to buy me a 16GB Nexus 7. The order was placed on the 8th to be delivered 'within 2 days'. They messed her around until the 16th, blaming the courier for 'not receiving the order correctly' (which was a load of nonsense according to TNT, the courier in question) and that other UK customers who ordered on the 8th had suffered similar issues. At this point she gave up, told them to cancel the order and purchased a 32GB N7 from Carphone Warehouse. Funnily enough, despite this, the status changed from 'order placed' to dispatched and they attempted to deliver the device originally ordered on the 20th. We declined the delivery, but still haven't received a refund. She's just on the phone to TNT again who are actually being very helpful and have confirmed the device has been returned, which Google claim is untrue. Still in limbo...
I'm sure most people who order from them will have no issues, but bear in mind when ordering from them that they have no UK contact and you're stuck dealing with a useless, rude US-based telephone team who have the ability to do naff all except sprout the same corporate bullish*t about their refunds process. You have no comeback from Citizens Advice or trading standards as there is no entity in the UK to list and the telephone support people will not give a UK trading address!
in the us it takes between 6-8 weeks to get a refund from google.. This is only after the 14 days you must wait before they will even talk to you. Keep on them or they will just keep putting you off.. It takes forever...
On a slightly different track, is TNT the worst carrier ever? They have NEVER succeeded in making a delivery to my home. Every time I find by checking tracking they have supposedly failed to find my home and I have to personally collect, a round trip of fifty miles. Maybe I am at the limit of their delivery radius and the drivers just can't be arsed. Taking into consideration shipping and this journey, it sure made my Nexus 7 a heck of a lot more expensive than if I just bought it on the high street.
Sadly not true of the Nexus 4 which is only available at a rip off price on the high street.
I'm glad my order with the UK Playstore, for a 3G Nexus 7, was processed and delivered without a hitch.
Have you spoken to the bank?

I ordered N7-3G Sunday evening and was despatched Monday morning with them stating 3-5 working days. I was pleasantly to see it waiting for me Tuesday when I came home.
It was delivered quicker than it took TNT to update their tracking information.
sent from my Nexus 7 3G using XDA Premium [HD]
I cannot sing the praises of Ebuyer enough when it comes to electronics, I bought 3 Nexus 7 16gb off them, strangely enough the Friday before the 32gb was announced on the following Monday grrrrrrrrrr
Anyway I digress, I ordered the 3 of them at the same time Friday night just before 8pm, paid a couple of quid upgrade for a Saturday delivery next morning 7:30 Parcel Force knocking on the door with them, less than 12 hours, it does not get much better than that
Hope you get it sorted soon
Can't say I've had any problems with the UK play store when ordering it. I ordered a Nexus on the 23rd Nov at half 11 at night. It was dispatched on the Monday and I got it on the Tuesday. Was delivered by TNT as well

They come a bit higher than hdnl/yodel in my opinion.
From experience of buying n7 and being unable to buy n4 I find nothing that would make me recommend buying from play store.
Getting n4 from cpw even with the premium just because play store sucks so much.

So I'm heading over to Walmart to get a Chromecast.
I want root, eventually. Is it possible to use it out of the box without automatically updating and losing rootability?
you will loose root ability they just updated to a newer version because there was a new root method disclosed recently. so leave it unplugged.
@BurnOmatic is correct....
Better order up the things you need to root it before you power it up or you might get updated and lose the ability to root it after that.

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.
So I pre-ordered T-Mobile 512gb.Note9 then told right before release that my phone wouldn't be shipped to me until September 20th,so I cancelled my pre-order and got it on Amazon the day after release,my question isshould I still be able to be qualified to get the pre-order goodies namely the AKG noise cancellation wireless headphones or the Fortnite bundle.What does everyone think?I think they should compensate me but that's just me.

No you canceled the pre order that's on you. It only applied to orders up until the 23rd

I understand but why pre-order a phone and have to wait a month after release to get it,you would think a company like Samsung would make enough phones to cover demand.
I went to pre order around the 19th and noticed everywhere had an unknown release date or late September for the 512 model, EXCEPT good ole Amazon. Plus on top of the akg headphones they also gave the dual wireless charger and Dex pad free. Shipped day before release even.

Doesn't matter they aren't going to give you a bonus on a pre order you canceled there was no shipping guarantee and the 512 was in high demand

Yep. Seems like they weren't expecting such demand for the 512 version.

Same boat here. September 19, they say. I'm not canceling though because of the promo AND I have two Note8s on that order at 399 each. That sale is over so I can't cancel now. Stupid Samsung.
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.
