Ok...I know that they are going to be announcing the note 10.1 inch in about less than a week...but my question is, lets say they announce it next week , so when will it be available for preorder or at least in stores? I just want to make sure I'm not waiting in vain because I really want to get a tablet this month if possible...any advice ...I don't know how samsung does it..does it announce and within 2 weeks have it or do they announce and then months later we can get it???
Really Never Know For sure
The usual time frame is 2 to 4 months, if lucky. If Note 10.1 is to also be a phone, don't expect this unit to be released in America by Verizon, ATT, etc, won't approve a tablet/phone. I would also buy, but would go the way of how I bought my Note and Tab 7.7, buy the international version, costs more, but fully functional, and available several months or more before America, at least that is how this has worked in the past.
I hope I am wrong.
how do u find the international version? and why do they always get it first??!!
Numerous Reasons
Ask Samsung........seriously, depending upon product, the U.S. is usually late in getting. the Tab 7 Plus U.S. was first, but the Tab 7.7, and Note, I got international version months before available in the states, I got my Note on 10/29, just now available at ATT last Sunday, 2/19. The Tab 7.7 I got Jan. 5 of this year, still not available in the States, but Verizon is to have when it is, but no phone capabilities. It will have 4G LTE though. If and when Note 10.1 is available, unless the major U.S. telecom's change their policy, (they won't), the Note 10.1, if it has phone capabilities, phone won't be available in the U.S., so another reason to get an international version.
I have found the best vendor to be able to supply and in the U.S. is Negri Electronics. I have found this company to be trustworthy, very reliable, and ships when they say they will. I am guessing, only a guess, that if and when a Note 10.1 is available, we can get thru Negri as fast, or faster than most any other source. Yes, it may be in a foreign language, but that takes 30 seconds to remedy in settings. The Note was in German, and the Tab 7.7 was in Chinese. Once you change language in settings, then all is as expected. I can't say enough good things about Negri Electronics.
For anyone who cares the Nexus 5 is officially out in Hong Kong. Its being sold by LG, rather than Google. Price is around HK$3,800 - 3,900 depending on where you buy it. Big name retailers such as Broadway are selling it. Only the 16GB model is presently available.

Why is it HK always gets the low storage. First note 3, now this! Infuriating!!
Nice! I'm in Hong Kong right now, considering this (my Google Play order wont ship until November 8). Do you know if the International version will work on US networks and LTE bands, specifically T-Mobile?

no. LTE wont work in North Americia. But 3G will work of course.
Damn. I had a feeling LTE wouldn't but was holding out hope. Oh well, guess I'll have to play the patience game some more..
Hond Kong LTE use band 3, and the US version of Nexus does not support that.
But does anyone know on the UMTS 2100, is HSPA supported by the NEXUS 5?
wonder when nexus 5 32 gb will release in hong kong.. right now for that price its still a steal!
heard from wilson guy that around nov 20 there will be google play order available in hk, with price around HKD3200..
dont yell at me how ridiculous this may be.. im just repeating their words..
is this really possible (that google play order is coming to hk)?

HK Google Play store would be a very welcome development.
I think I am probably going to wait it out for around a month or two and hopefully the N5 price is drop a bit or at least a 32GB model will make its way to HK, otherwise seems the Oz store has the best value at the moment.
Fortress
Dear All,
I was at Fortress MK (MK New Century Mall) and they are selling it for $3,880.00. The guy says ONLY 16GB and I asked about 32GB and he said no. I don't believe him since he had to check 5 minutes to give me a price on the N5. Late Nov. HK PlayStore have it? I highly doubt it. I'm waiting till close to Christmas to buy it as the price will go down and retailers will have discounts.
if u go to "smaller" shops in mongkok/wanchai etc. the price is now in the range of 3700+..
Make sure..

Yes, parallel import will be cheaper in price but watch for what you get. Remember, US version (D820) won't work in HK for LTE. We have (D821) which is international version to work for Asia. I would stay with Fortress, Broadway etc. to be safe.

As long as the smaller shop confirms its HK stock and you can get local warranty through LG I don't see an issue buying through them.
Remember the D821 is also being sold in Australia where the price is actually quite comparable to the North American prices. But you won't get local LG warranty if you get that.
Was at Broadway Shatin on Friday, asked if 32gb was available, sales said usually Hong Kong only get one version.
Agreed that it is expensive to buy from them, if really available through Play Store at end of November then Ill be one of the first to buy from there!
Was just in WCC.
Asked two shops for price, one said HK$4.2k the other said HK$3.9k!!!!! Local stock.
Wasn't going to buy and was in a bit of a hurry so didn't ask around too many places or try and negotiate for price.

I've just purchased an international Urbane on Amazon uk for a decent price. Amazon have made it clear it has a 12 month warranty and they will replace or refund if there are issues, and I have that on a live chat transcript so they can't go back on that.
However, as someone who's never owned an LG Android device, I'm wondering if I'm going to have problems with this International model here in the UK? For example, will OTA work or any other form of updating without having to go via ADB? I've heard Wear 2 is coming to this watch, I'd hate to miss out if I can't get it installed here in the UK. Will my UK S7 Edge work with it ok, and will Android Wear installed on my phone from the UK play store work ok? If there are going to be issues I'll simply return it. It's due for delivery tomorrow so any advice on this will be appreciated.

I'm using the EU W200e variant with 3G not the LTE version, as far as updates go, everything is fine, OTA operates normally and frequencies are not an issue. I see no reason for the LTE variant to be any different, others are using it successfully.
Thanks. It's actually the 1st gen Urbane I've bought, so it has no cellular ability. But as long as it can be used in the UK and can be updated to Wear 2 when LG release the update, that's good enough for me.

6GB RAM/64GB storage version on sale on Monday 18th June. If you want 8GB of memory and 256GB of storage then the release date is Wednesday 4th July.
The price and Al build with Snapdragon 845 and 6.2 inch screen and stereo speakers is a major major major go for me. MicroSD slot is the icing in the cake. I can just fit a glass screen protector on this baby and it should be good to go. Also Asus will be doing a 50 pounds/euro promotional rebate for all pre-orders and all sales on their website up til 15th July.

Anyone heard when it may be available in the US? It can be bought on ebay now from sellers in Taiwan and China but I'd rather wait until it's released in the US so hopefully it'll be the variant with more US LTE bands (assuming it's actually getting officially released in the US).

Based on one or two sites, it'll be released mid to late August in the US, which is utter crap.

I've been saying August in the other thread! Their poor strategy tells me they've given up on competing. By the time it releases in the US a lot of people would've forgotten about it...

In two months? The only people who (IMO) are really looking forward to the phone are people like us (Android "enthusiast") and I doubt we will forget in that amount of time. I'm just hoping Best Buy carries it like the 5Q. I prefer their warranty on phones and I get double-points on my BBY credit card

I am on a vacation in India. I bought it for just €330 (6GB/64GB) with a free case (yay!) . Best deal ever!!
Just reserved blue, S10 8/512GB - I think it's the best value(+ the $150 free buds). S 10+ differs w/ bigger battery and enhanced selfie camera which, I don't use a lot. I think the S 10 will make me happy for a very long time ahead.
Some specs to compare among all 3 models:
Pre-odered the S10+ ceramic Black 8/512gb T-Mobile Snapdragon! $700+tax ? with N9 trade-in.
UPDATE: Just canceled my order for numerous reasons. I need to rethink if I should just wait for the S10-5G badboy arrival!? ?
UPDATE2: I re-pre-ordered the Blue S10+ 128gb Unlocked Snapdragon! ?
Here's best FCC LTE bands list I could find.

You mean 8/512, yeah I was thinking about that one too, somehow the $100 less makes me feel less guilty Then again, just a couple weeks ago I was buying a 9 Note for a similar price. Returned happily that N9, it was just another amazon refurb and now I just made a one year smartphone technology leap ahead.
Flamingo Pink S10+. 8gb/128gb is fine with me... that color is legit
Are the LTE bands the same for the USA Snapdragon Unlocked and Branded TMobile S10's?
Also are the software Updates faster on the Branded TMobile vs the Unlocked?

techwalls.com will have the numbers in the coming days, I'd think, the S10etc models won't be different from Note9 in lte bands, it all depend on regions:

Yes unlocked and yes I believe it gives the option to manage the order. And it is preordered with a confirmation email. Not reserved.
Exynos S10e 8GB/256GB looks like the replacement for my S7. Glad about the flat screen, and similar size to the S7. But will hold out until prices drop a bit and root/custom recovery/ROMs are achieved. Wish they would have put the same camera, FP scanner, larger storage levels, etc. of the other models in the S10e, but those are not deal-killers.
S 10+ 8/512 ceramic black unlocked.
very hard decision,
I am going to wait untll bootloader unlocked, root available, and custom rom available.
until than it's useless brick.
Looking to acquire the S10+, 128 GB, 8 GB RAM, Prism White, Unlocked, Hong Kong Variant, Snapdragon 855. Will hold off for user feedback and price drop.
Pre-ordered the S10+ 128/8GB model. I noticed there was absolutely no performance difference between the 128/6GB and 512/8GB model of the Note9. In fact, ive read that the 512/8GB would consume more battery, but most likely not significantly.
S10 or the S10+ still haven't decided a bit confused in between those two.
Honestly wish there was a ceramic option on the smaller S10
