Okay...I've been drooling over this phone for the past few weeks. I'm almost ready to pull the trigger...but I'm looking for the least expensive but most reputable online dealer to make my purchase. I'm in the USA so it would have to be imported.
Suggestions? Experiences? Warranty issues? I'm all ears. Let me know what your experience has been with the different online retailers.
Cheers!

eBay you can find them as low as 590 used but new ones run about 650

Good Point! eBay is probably the one place I haven't looked! Thanks man!
Amazon has a few sellers offering them for around 650. they're also fulfillment so you get free 2 day shipping.
I'm also getting ready to pull the trigger.
If you're just looking for a cheap price, eBay has Australian Notes on sale, which I think is the cheapest of them all due to currency fluctuations.
Anybody know of a seller that does international shipping that has a REALLY lenient return policy? I tend to have horrible luck with displays and don't want to get stuck with one with defects (I once had to return five LCD monitors in a row because each one had more than two dead/stuck pixels! Also, my current Cellphone, a Streak, has an always-on stuck red pixel).
Given the fact that AMOLED screens slowly develop defects, I would really like to find a seller that offers 14+ day return policy with little or no expense on my part, in case I end up making multiple returns.
I found this in another thread but Integrontech has them for $650 also. Here's the link: http://www.integrontech.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-N7000-16GB-Unlocked-Black-p/sam-n7000.htm
I've never used them...so I'm not sure how reputable they are.
I did buy my i9100 from expansys USA and it was perfect! Fast shipping. Never had any trouble with the hardware...so I never dealt with the warranty part. But my experience with them was very good.
Might pay to be a little more patient, I'm thinkin' there will be at least another 50 drop post Christmas.
Just a thought and I could be wrong so...
Be nice to use that extra savings towards accessories though IMHO
When I first started lookin' I couldn't find one below 730.00 so if I can get one for six I can that custom leather case I want and break even there.

Paid $699 yesterday from Newegg.
I sure hope my ATT plan doesn't have issues like everyone else is reporting (forcing a tablet plan, forcing tiered data, etc).

Hello! Link please
I've got friends who would buy this for me in either India or Australia.
Where would I have either one of them shop in their respective countries to get me one? Is it worth it, plus shipping, or should I just drop $650 on Ebay? I mean, from what I saw the exchange rate, 35,000 Indian Rupees (MSRP) is $660.
Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Unlocked Cellphone--US Warranty (Blue)
(made in korea by samsung )
(this phone got no problem with screen!)
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-GT-N7...QL30/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1324089027&sr=8-4
what the hell is blue version ?
I see amazon is listed as an official vendor which makes me curious.
+ there is no warranty on international phones imported to U.S. because the official U.S. versions are the ones sold by the damn carriers via at&t , verizon etc.
There once was a note...

Yeah, I saw that, but the arrival date was in 2012.
Newegg had free 2-day shipping (shoprunner free year trial) and I had a $20 coupon from google.
So, $679 and I'll have it Monday. Plus there is a free charger thingy thrown in, so that's a plus.
I just really hope my unlimited data isn't f-d around with after putting my sim in...

Doesn't the GT prefix indicate the IMEI will be considered a tablet? Some listings omit the GT prefix...I think these are the Polish/Netherland version that doesn't flag ATT as a tablet...
Hmmm...it appears the white one is going for $800 still, while the black(ish) one is $650ish. I'm debating on importing 5 or 6 of these to see if I can pay for mine.
Thoughts?

Hi everyone, ill be going to Korea on the 23rd for my Christmas vacation and one of my goals is be able to buy the Galaxy Note at a cheaper price(i thought that since its made in Korea, it should be cheaper). Do anyone of you know the current price of the Galaxy Note there? where can I get it the cheapest in seoul?
Dont know exactly but im pretty sure it not cheaper by any means
Also dont buy one there roms are not compatible
oh really? so I cant flash it to South East Asia Rom?
Not sure about South Korea but I was just in Hong-Kong and at Fortress they are selling them for 5998 HKD and I was also in Bangkok and found that they were cheaper in Bangcock at 22,700 Baht. In Thighland You also get a 7% VAT refund at the airport so it is cheaper in Thailand to but than Hong-Kong. Taiwan's price is currently about 22,700 NTD.
Taiwan and Hong-Kong have both Black and White while Thighland only has Black at the moment (unless you buy one that is being sold on the black market).
Oh, that means, its cheaper here in the philippines. I saw a shop selling Php 28,700.
I want to get before I leave so I can already use it when I travel there!

I like how you originally spelled it correctly and then intentionally put a malicious misspelling afterwards.. LOL
The cheapest offering in our country (PH) is 30k with official Samsung warranty with NTC seal. 26k with just the shop warranty.
Don't buy in Korea, it's like buying stuff in Japan, they have their own hardware configurations there, not just software. HK is the best place to buy gadgets (if you're not so concerned about warranty)
Where did you saw the 26t?
I'm getting mine next week and i bought it from Samsung store in Thailand
I'm From Israel, do you think i will have a problem with the Note?
I dont think that the International Roms will work with the Korean model 100% because of the different cpu and modem

In HK, if you buy in Fortress, it will be a little bit more expensive than the other small shops. But you will get a lot of free gifts. Now in Fortress, you will get a spare battery, screen protector and the original leather case.

Should be just fine. Just check language support with Demo model at counter. The Hong-Kong version only has English,Korean,and Chinese. They do not come with all the languages like the iPhones do.

I got mine at the airport so no free battery. The free battery that they give you is not the original one but should be ok. The original battery in Taiwan sells for 1580 NTD at the Samsung store. Not a cheap battery but a must have. I will be buying one. I already bought the external battery charger for around 680 NTD to charge the spare battery. With a spare battery this Note should be good to go

Sorry for all caps, but don't want anyone to miss this. It is TODAY ONLY. Feb 14. Would send mine back to Amazon and buy this one, but missed return date by 6 days. Am getting one for the wife though! Stores will match deal of the day price on same colors, but can't exchange color later as price will be up tomorrow!
Let me know if this post would be better somewhere else. Thanks by the way to all in these forums. fomey, littlestevie, etc!

I believe online shipping is free. I'm getting mine for my wife at the Best Buy locally through as they will match the deal of the day price. By the way, I love the rose gold (the one I have) and am getting a lime green for the wife. I know most people like black.
Only orange and rose gold left - I picket a white one earlier today, but now they are out
It is a killer price

I had the rose gold demo on to see how it looked... And then I ended up paying the extra 100.00 for the black. Couldn't justify the white and rose gold
Just ordered on. All that was left was green. FYI it's about $100 to change the band color after the fact.
Curious if torque and strava work with it.

To speak in samsung colors - Oatmeal Beige.
I dont expect this to be really white
I bought 3 online with local pickup at the store and picked them up a little bit later.
I couldn't resist....Finally upgraded from a Galaxy S2 (Hercules) to a Nexus 5, just to pick one of these up over a Pebble. (Not too concerned over the little limitations, I'm happy with it for $150 ^_^ )
Thank you for letting me know about this deal, today was payday and I was literally freaking out over which to buy. lol
On a side note, don't believe the Best Buy website as to which are in stock. I called around and three of the four stores around me had all of the colors in stock although the website only said they had one or two, if any at all. The rose-gold is actually kind of nice looking. A fairly shiny bronze, but just a hint of red in it in certain light. I actually almost chose it over the Oatmeal -- Which, btw, is grey with just a hint of brown. Decided on it over the others because I usually wear suits and it seems to match a little better than explaining something as a "rose." =P
Hi everyone,
I'm due to upgrade my phone and really keen on the note 9 but to buy in the UK it is costly. I'm looking at buying from the EU but there's a variety of model types with subtle differences in bands.
Please would someone be able to advise me whether for example N9600 or N960FD would be fully compatible with the UK networks?
The N9600 appears to be fully compatible with UK bands but I'm new to buying non UK phones.
Plus if they're both compatible, would one be better than the other?
Thanks in advance

Hey, I got the N960F/DS off Ebay for £719, think it is even cheaper now, got it from Switzerland, ordered last Wednesday night about 22:00 and it arrived Monday morning. I will get the link for you now
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Sams...var=601774672008&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649
I highly recommend them, unless you find a cheaper option.
Oh, and yeah it works fine haha, I'm on o2, but obviously if it works on there it will work on all. It is also worth mentioning that if you are accepted for paypal credit, you can get it from the link I gave with 4 months %0 interest too
Great to hear. The price is great. Did it come with a UK quick charger?

Just found this from the same people lol, even cheaper And no it has a foreign charger but they include an adaptor which does work fine and fast charge too, also, if you like, I can give you the voucher code they sent me for a further $10 off, so that's like another £7 ish.

Hey mate, sorry I think I must have chucked the voucher away with the delivery box and other junk
Have a look on www1.techinthebasket.com - I picked up my previous Note 8 SM-N950F/DS for £633 back in October last year. It was a Taiwan model (BRI) but picked up XEU / BTU CSC when I put my O2 SIM in it and it worked flawlessly. They have Note 9's in now for good prices as well. They only accept PayPal so you're covered. I also picked up a Surface Pro 4 from them a couple of years ago and saved over £200. Well worth a try.
Nice suggestion, thanks

Ah, looks like they've only got the Snapdragon version in at the moment - £880 for the SD 512GB/8GB and £629 to £679 dependant on colour for the SD 128GB/6GB is still pretty damn good. Keep checking though, they did have the Exynos versions in for around the same price a few days ago...
Really good prices.
The only thing that's holding me back is to wait for the pixel 3xl. If some of the rumours are true about the Iarge screen, then I might go pixel, but other say it's only 6.1" and has a notch which renders it even smaller when watching film properly.
Thanks for the input so far. Note 9 is in number one spot, just need to compare to the pixel to firm up the choice
The N9600 probably won't work with some UK Cell Providers. You are better off getting the N960FD as that is a GSM device.
Don't think volte or WiFi calling works

Nice find!
After reading the listing it doesn’t state anything about It having a year warranty with them instead they’ll only replace if the device is faulty within the first 30 days.... risky?!! ? .... Just checked again it doesn’t come with any warranty.... ?
Plus if you use the CODE: PERKS on eBay you get a further £50 off... Very tempting stuff
If the pixel 3xl is a bit underwhelming, I'd rather buy a note 9 with a warranty even if it costs more. Having had LG phone issues, I don't want the risk

Oh well haha, has anyone in the world ever actually needed a warranty? I certainly haven't ? It's like insurance, even if you try to claim on it, the odds of them paying out to you are so slim it's hardly worth bothering. It's also another price you pay for getting something significantly cheaper than in your own country, right now they're selling that phone over £200 cheaper than anywhere in this country, if you're so worried, take that 200 and buy insurance, or open a premium bank account for like £11 a month that offers you full mobile phone insurance like my girlfriend has, she can essentially just launch her phone at the wall and they'll pay out for a replacement ?

Believe it or not i had an issue with my S8 plus (Snapdragon 835 variant) a year ago (screen issue) used it for about 8 months, it took about a month to resolve but ended up getting a refund instead lol
I know what your saying, looks like I'll just go with WondaMobile instead of eBay, that way my mind will be at ease
Btw hows your battery life on your model? I'm still undecided whether to go with the SD 845 or Exynos 9810.. I had the S9 plus with the 9810 and the battery life wasn't great (3.5hr SOT) with 15-16hrs usage consistently, ended up selling it to my bro ?
Just saw an unboxing video on YouTube from Vietnam. Hope it would be available in the middle east by next month. I hope to see an A70 v A51 v A71 comparison within a few days.
Is it available in your area now?

The a51 is 125 riyals. I was tempted to buy that one but I want the bigger screen and battery.

Get one a71 from t-mobile in Poland yesterday. Better than my A50. Good camera and daily usage. Shopping retail price 2.000 PLN 6GB RAM/128GB internal memory.
In Oman right now, the A80 is just 10usd more than the A71. Note10s and S10s are getting discounts also. Its a good time to buy Samsung phones.
