So i went to the high street to get the note today but it was sold out -_-
I was wondering if anyone bought it from amazon.co.uk? I am really sceptical about buying it online because of all the screen issues as i dont have the time to ship it off for replacements.
Should i wait for restock ? or just go with amazon and cross my fingers that it wont have any screen issues ?
i also have same question
I just walked into my local phones4u. They had plenty in stock. I had no joy with any of the main operators stores, O2, Vodafone or orange. Had to sign up for my first 18 month contract, no go on a 12.
Not tried yet, but been reading the new firmware sorts some screen issues.
I am visiting London and bought it at the Samsung/Bose store on Tottenham. It was £599 but I do get a VAT refund. After watching me play on it, my friend bought one as well.

nowhere near london :-(
I guess ill buy it from amazon and see how it goes!
I bought one from amazon a few days ago and I had no problem. I did one day shipping and the phone itself has no issues.
I also bought from Amazon, ordered on the 20th, received on the 23rd, no issues.
Came in German, with instructions on how to switch it to English. Rooted, updated to KK7, works fine.
The 3g 32gb Nexus will be released tomorrow. Has anyone seen any signs that they are available anywhere besides the play store? I would like to avoid the taxes and/or shipping changes.
PS Does the play store take returns if i have a screen lift problem.
PPS Since I currently do have a 7" tablet, I don't need to buy tomorrow. However, I would like 2 !!!

1) Outside of a T-Mobile "internal" document, I haven't seen any real confirmation about the release tomorrow (or technically today). It very well might happen, but it also might not. I'm hoping B&M stores carry them too, but it's unknown right now.
2) Yes, you have 15 days (or something like that) for a return and a full year warranty directly through Play Store - if you buy through them.
3) Is that a question?

3) No, it was not a question. It was a plea for someone to tell me/justify my impulse to just buy the N7 as soon as it is released. I am also trying to resist buying the Nexus 4 on release.

Go to the play store and see what happens when you try to select the 3G N7. My browser seems to be glitching. Edit, NM, its back to normal now.
And the only place it says that this device will be released is on the official google blog, but beyond that, i haven't heard a single thing. I even called the CS line today, and the only thing they told me was that "There is no definite release date."
It was not released in Australia along with the N4 and the N10.

I got an email from the UK Play store this morning saying the 3G model was available, and I have successfully placed an order.

Ditto. Was a bit of a git getting on to the website intially, but I managed and I've ordered it. 3-5 working days delivery (£13.99 p&p) . I got in work late as I didnt want them selling out before I got one... waited bloody ages for this.
It seems that no "bricks and mortar" outlets will currently stock the 3g version of the Nexus 7 in the UK and the only place to get it is Play Store.
32g 3g Nexus 7 starting to come up as out of stock now in the UK
For those of you that got the HSPA+ N7, did you get a notification in your email saying that it had gone on sale first?
NM, I reread people's emails. I need to do that better, haha
from the looks of things, only people in EU/etc are getting availability so far.... which means they prob just checked the store and it was there.

Yeah I got an email at the moment the play store had the Nexus 7 3G in stock. However, I'd been checking it every few minutes anyway
I've been patiently waiting for this to come out, but it seems no stores are stocking it online. Not in the UK so Google Play order while possible, is a bit pointless.
Are there any retailers indicating they'll get stock soon?

There is NO indication at this point that any retailers apart from Google Play will be stocking the 3g version of the Nexus 7. I checked thoroughly or I would have bought in a shop rather than online, as I would have prefered to have checked the thing over.
3G Version is LIVE in the US Play Store.
Website is sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow.
Haha I ordered it before I ever received the email saying it was ready to go! I hope there are design changes so that the flickering is gone.

WTF. This is pissing me off. I can't get my order to go through. Keeps giving me errors and just hangs.
Plus, their phone support just shut down incoming calls.
Just got my ordered from play store at 9:09am PST. Total was $336.16 (California tax and $13.99 for 2 day shipping). It took me around 10 tries to finally get it to check out.

I finally got through too. My first browser just hung so I did a second order and it went through. Took like 40mins from start to finish. This unit better be perfect. I'm going to return my (perfect) 32GB once I receive the 3G unit, so I'll be pissed if I need to RMA the 3G one for some defect.

I reserved the Galaxy s4 at my local Sprint store on Monday. Walked in today and they had 8 available. So needless to say, you might want to check your local Sprint store to see if they had any shipments because mine did. By the way I returned the HTC One for this phone and I couldn't be happier.

Sprint won't be my carrier but if they have them in store I would stop by just to check out the phone in person, assuming they have one for display.
Our 2 local sprint stores and BB all got the Sprint S4's in today. I almost bought one, but they would not match the online price of $149 that I could get on sprint.com by adding a new line. So I came home and ordered one up instead. $100 is a $100. But it was nice to play with one in the store a bit before making the final decision.

Wait, what? I thought Sprint delayed all of the S4s. When I called BB about my pre-order yesterday to see if it was affected, all I got was that it wasn't in yet and they wouldn't get any sort of an ETA because of them using drop shipment to (supposedly) get it there faster. I may have to drop in today and see what's up with that. >.>
Edit: Just did so. According to the rep I spoke with, Samsung only shipped the ATT phones. All other carriers' S4s have yet to show up. Anyone else running into something similar?

We went into the Sprint store shortly after they opened on Saturday just to see if they might have received any. I'd heard the delayed rumors too, so was not shocked when they said no. Mgr said he'd got an email the night before saying they might try to scrape a few together and get them there, so check back later. Basically the same story at the BB store 2 blocks away. Called later in the day and the Sprint store had them in. So I went in and played with it for a while. When they could not price match the web price, we went over to BB. They had also received the phones but would not match the price either.
All were Sprint phones, both colors, 16gb. They are getting delivered for retail sales, at least in some areas. Guaranteed. You can call the Sprint or BB stores in Rogers and Bentonville Arkansas to confirm it, if you'd like. They may all be sold out by now as there were folks lined up to look at them, but they had them for a while yesterday, at the least. I had a black one in my hands and ready to buy until the ad match snafu came up.
Sprint stores in NJ had them...but the store by me only had 6, 3 white / 3 black...I walked in after 3hrs of them being opened and they still had 4.

Haha your first paragraph was just be way my several went at one of my local corporate store I reserved a handset at. But when I called a friend at another corporate location just a few towns south of me, she said she had a huge supply but we're running low rapidly. And even at 10:15am the store was PACKED! So in turn, I had a feeling that some stores may have some supply. Which was exactly what happened. Funny, cause the 2 BB stores in Mt area have the Samsung booths. Neither were displaying anything. Which I thought was unusual, cause even though there is a delay, I would have thought that they would at least wanna show Em off

I got mine! 4.2.2 is alot different. Menu's have more to it. Overall I am liking the GS4. Bigger screen, smoother and faster than my GS3. I cant wait until a solid root is out there and for Ktoons OC kernel to come out! I can see this thing rocking 2.5 GHZ with it's quad core! My Quadrant score is already 12,772 stock, so I'm thinking 18,000 is possible!
I'm going to get mine right now! My local sprint store still has some left over from launch. And they're expecting more in tomorrow. Nice inventory scare tactic samsung
Spoke to a sprint employee on the 24th(after they stopped taking pre-orders) and was told they'd only get enough S4s to satisfy pre orders and then would have to wait for "a week or so" for a shipment of S4s for the general public. So I preordered from amazon and they said they'd ship the today and deliver May 1st. But yesterday I called local sprint stores and 3rd one I called said they had one left in white. Amazon preorder cancelled shortly their after . Any way what I took away from this fro any one still looking for S4s is that some sprint stores have general public stock but generally the bigger stores closer to downtown (I'm in Houston). The stores that only have pre order stock just don't know what the hell they are talking about .
I'm in Houston too and got mine from the Westpark store. They had plenty of them. Like 50 or so! Don't know about today though.....

I must have gotten lucky, because I ordered mine online from Sprint Saturday the 28th in the afternoon (pst), and received a shipping notification Sunday at 10AM and received my shipment Monday morning at 9:45 AM. Needless to say I was happily shocked

I was planning on buying one online and picking it up at the store on my lunch break. So far, nothing showing on their site. I am refreshing quite a bit. Already see it available on Play Store. Nothing on Amazon or BB as was stated it should be available today.
When I called Google last week because I lost patience waiting for tracking confirmation, I mentioned to them that if I wasn't getting it today (Launch Day), I might add well cancel my pre-order & just go to Best Buy today...
I was told that they have exclusivity. He knew eventually they'd all be available everywhere, but didn't know when.
I don't know how reliable a customer service rep is, and I don't know anyone from Best Buy... Just sharing my limited knowledge. Haha.
I just talked with best buy online chat. Their release dates are today..which was reported at Google i/o but they dont have them yet i guess
Thank you for choosing Best Buy, my name is Jacky. How may I assist you today?
-------------I am looking to pick up a LG G watch or a Samsung gear Live watch, from my understanding they are both available today in stores?
I'd be more than happy to assist you with your questions regarding these watches.
Their release date was scheduled today but it is not showing availability on the website so it seems that the manufacturer hasn't released them to us.
--------------So theyre not available in stores?
As far as I know, they are not available in the stores but we don't know for sure. We are mainly online support. You could try to contact the stores to see if they have them but they are not showing up as available online which usually means they're not available in the stores either.
I called a Best Buy here in Tampa by my office. They told me they were sold out. So it would appear that they may have had some available this morning but no longer due. With that in mind I have gave up and ordered one from the Play store.
I just went to my local Best Buy in Burbank, CA. The dedicated Samsung rep hadn't even heard of the Gear Live and they couldn't find a SKU in the system. I guess I should have just ordered from Google.
I was going to order one on Amazon and get next day shipping for $3.99 as a prime customer. I can't find them on Amazon or Best Buy. This sucks! Any idea when they will be available?
Who said they would be available at Best Buy and Amazon today? Can someone post a link where Google stated that?
Thanks!

No, it was just unsubstantiated rumors spread by all the tech blogs. That's probably the information they got at I/O, but nobody stated where they got that info from.
Best Buy
I also went into a Best Buy today looking for the Gear Live today. The Samsung rep just kind of shrugged me off and said she didn't think Best Buy was carrying those. I know better because on the Best Buy site Android Wear is listed as coming soon and every press release has said they'd be getting them. I just left wasn't in the mood to debate with her. I really wish Best Buy was more knowledgeable about their products especially the Samsung reps
I went to two Best Buys in Durham, NC and neither has the Gear Live. In store #1, the Samsung rep knew the watch existed, but didn't know that it was listed as "coming soon" on Best Buy's website. He did however ask the store manager if they had received any in inventory that just weren't being sold yet, and was told they hadn't received any at all. Store #2 rep knew what I was looking for and said he had no idea when they will be getting them.
Buying In Store
Most likely, it will be at least a month or two before they come to the store. Google did that with the last few Nexus phones and tablets for a while so it doesn't seem to far fetched if it won't be in store before August.
I called a BB in Tampa near my office and they told me they were sold out but they should be getting more in soon, although they did not have an exact number or date.
I gave up and ordered from Play Store.

I don't doubt or argue that is what you were told, but I'd be very surprised if they actually gave you correct information. Perhaps they sold out of a different Gear watch and didn't recognize or even know that you're asking about the Gear Live. My in store visits and calls to local Best Buys all indicate a great lack of knowledge that the Gear Live even exists, and none of the 4 stores I spoke to (two in person) had any idea when they would begin receiving them. I think when they show up on Best Buy's website is going to be when they are actually available in stores.

I've called around to several Verizon stores in my area, and they all say that the 128GB will not be available in either Edge or non-Edge until May 1. The Verizon website says the same thing.
Has anyone on Verizon successfully received a 128GB model yet? If so, what's the trick?

Yea, it's hard to wait, but maybe it's a good thing. By May 1, they hopefully will have worked out all the screen-defect issues.

Just asking again: Has anyone bought a 128GB edge in store anywhere?
I just had lunch with a friend of mine who works in a Verizon store as a sales manager there. He told me that the 128GB models were going to be few and far between in the stores because a majority of people coming in didn't need that much storage. A vast majority of the S6's they are selling only have 32gb or 64gb at the most. Its very rare that someone come in off the street and ask for 128gb. If they do, then they point them to the website because it will get fulfilled much faster that way.
In short, if you want one of these things, just put in an order on the website and you will get one a lot faster. Otherwise, if you are determined to pick one up in store, start calling around to all the stores in your area now. If you find one that has one, then ask them to hold it for you and go down and get it. You will be very lucky.

Thanks a lot cbdudek. That's very helpful information. I was only hoping to buy one in store so that I could immediately inspect it for scratches and return it if necessary. I'm just going to hope that those issues have been resolved or reduced since the scratch thread has died down a bit.

I can confirm his information. A local VZW store manager (that i've known my whole life) said they were basically told they wouldn't be getting any in the store. Might be different at upscale urban locations, but not here in suburbia.

Thanks. No different at "upscale" urban locations either. Apparently, Verizon has a 3-story "Verizon Experience Store" (who the hell knew?) right on Michigan Avenue (a/k/a The Mag Mile) in Chicago--which apparently carries all sorts of accessories and products that normal Verizon's don't carry--and even they don't have it. Of course, they all have 128GB iPhones. F*&#ing A. So frustrating.
Richmond, VA area... No 128GB in the local half dozen stores. I had received my first S6 Edge via preorder but had the screen rotate bug. Went to a local store to return and reorder (Not exchange risking refurbished phone). After 1.5 hour wait on Sunday, it took them another 45 minutes to process the return and they couldn't ever figure out how to process the repurchase at the same price I had online despite no less than 12 trips to the "manager". I gave up on the reorder and went home. BTW, I had already moved my service back to my old phone via tech support on Saturday and factory wiped the return phone. I made this real simple for them... I thought!
Online it took me exactly 2 minutes and 47 seconds to arrange the reorder. At least the store did the return properly so that I had the upgrade credit reinstated. Target ship date 5/1. Received shipping notification today and I will have the replacement tomorrow 5/29...All good! Let's just hope that I have no scratches or repeating rotate bug.!
Lesson for Verizon if they are listening... Your in store experience just plain sucks and needs some serious attention. I will never ever ever go through that again. BTW Verizon, this is the voice of a customer whose records with you ONLY goes back to year 2000. Actual linkage goes back to 1985 with Cellular One.... (Acquisition, acquisition, etc..)
I was told that I could not guarantee a brand new phone if I exchanged online and that the only way to insure I would not get refurbished was to go through the store process I suffered. Never again! I will push and escalate of something like this happens in the future. Anything to avoid "The store". Verizon.. ..Give online (AKA Low cost to you) users the same capabilities as if they go into the store! "Can you hear me now?"
