Good news guys, the Nexus 6P is finally available to be ordered from the google store in Australia.
I just ordered a 64 GB Graphite for AUD 999
i ordered the graphite myself, shipping address was wrong google told me to cancel order and re-order in the 5 minutes i had waiting for the money to release back to my account the graphite sold out... had to then get the aluminium. it will be in a case anyway so i didnt really care but still... they must have had like 50 handsets lol

Are you sure??? The Graphite 64GB still shows up for me though.
Secondly, was your CC charged? Mine has not been yet.
Yeah it was greyed out for me and when refreshed, closed browser it did not return for purchase just said join waitlist... So I switched over to aluminium and it worked as I said I don't really mind as it will be in a otterbox style case anyway... As for cc I used a debit card so it listed the trans as pending.. Had to wait till the temp hold was released and I could repurchase.. The card declined a few trys and on looking at bank it was pending for a few minutes

Ok. Thanks for the information mate.
Now the wait begins
@prgopala
Yeah listed as shipping on November 2, same as the US I believe for the 6p so good to see we got something on time even if it is the remaining unsold devices the initial release countries lol

Yes. It will be great if we get the phone at the same time as other countries even though it was listed just now.
Ridiculous pricing though. The 6p is cheaper than the nexus 6 was in the states. And we still pay more than last year. I think I'll skip this year. My n6 is still mint, so I might as well keep it some more.
Just so you guys know, the nexus 6p is for $744 with a $20 plan - no contract on virgin.
Im getting this because stuff paying the $900 aud price gouge.

virgin's coverage is garbage, telstra i read is not really interested in nexus devices and i have had a terrible time with optus in the past.. leaves not much choice for some. Replacing a tired 2013 Note 3 thats over 2 years old. If on the other hand, I bought the N6 last year, which i had planned to do i probably would have kept it, i like the size and the device plus paying for new premium device each year is not within budget
You can get the n6 cheap now on the google store.

That's actually a great deal. 32gb only, but still $200 cheaper than buying from google. Nice find.

i just checked virgin mobile and indeed they are selling the N6P/32gb/black for $744, just the phone, for existing customers.
no other option for phone color and memory.
still a good deal if you're with them, stuff paying $899 for a nexus device...

I highly doubt it, the carriers don't actually consider prepaid users as customers.
With virgin, what you can do is sign up for a sim only plan, get it set up and working, then use your account to order this handset outright @ $744, then if u want, cancel the virgin account after 1 month.

You just sign up with virgin on a sim only plan, pay the money for the device & $20 for the first month's plan & cancel straight away in store. No more virgin bs & n6p in hand. Laughing. F u google. Why no love? We're a lovable bunch aren't we?
Am stumped on what to do. I want the N6P 64g and only Vodafone's doing a plan for $75 bucks a month. The thing is I've been with Optus for over 25 yrs and be hesitant to leave them over voda.
Is Vodafone any good these days?
Half the reason am considering it is cause with the online deal you get a case,headset and huawei talkband b2 worth $229 alone.
Is it worth the switch guys?

I've heard Vodafone definitely has improved from its fiasco a few years ago. It is now more or less decent. Unfortunately, that is still no indication whether or not Vodafone is any good for you. The best way to go about still is to get a Vodafone sim and to try it out at your usual locations eg. home, work, frequent places.

I checked coverage for my area and it says 4G but until I try as you said I may not know. Everyone I know is on optus and been with them so long. Optus has a 32g version but don't know if that's going to be enough storage.

Watchung NJ there were 3 people getting it when i arrived and according to the sales rep they had around 20 Note's. By the way this phone is rocks....!
I was at best buy when they opened at 11, I was only one there. While they were activating my note 4 other people came and they were all pre order pick ups. And yes this phone does rock
Called my normal store at about 12:30 after they had been open for 30 minutes. They had not had one request for the phone. I was a bit surprised. I asked him to put a black one (I know it is carbon blue) away for me. I went by at 1 pm and they still had not had any requests for the phones except me. I bought it no commitment. Will try it out for 30 days to see how it compares to my International Version and if LTE makes this worth keeping.
Slow day for the GNote in Plano.
I went around 1pm and I was the 2nd person to buy one. I bought it off contract due to my usps delivery issue and will return this one and get my refund when I get the usps one
Noone is interested in this phone? Or poor marketing?
Just picked mine up today and my AT&T store had plenty in stock. Also left Sprint today and and floored by how badly AT&Ts 3.5G speeds destroy the Sprint 4G I had. Bring on LTE. Sure I am paying about $10 more a month but it is worth it to finally have speeds I can use. My previous phone was an Epic 4G Touch so the Note is pretty much just a larger version for me.

I would say that most of the people who were really interested in this phone preordered it to either take advantage of the Friday delivery or the $50 plus free case at Best Buy.
I did see one guy camped out waiting on the iphone 5...
lol!
did just that.......after spending like 2 hours on the phone with best buy to cancel my order.....i got my note at the att store....no case no 50 bucks off....but i got it........best buy is backorder and have no idea when they will ship it.....one happy camper....should had initially get it from att in the first place

OH yea, and on Friday once I knew my order wasnt coming and I went to the store, the manager almost convinced me to wait until I recieve it whenever that was. So today I just added the off contract note to one of my other lines and changed nothing to the other line and all I did was throw my sims in it. This was the actual advice from customer service last night. They would waive or credit me any restocking fee once I return the full price off contract note. On top of that I got $50 free in note accessories and $150 credit to my account......and I'm not done yet. By the time I get my preorder delayed note I'll be calling back customer service for more credit for pain and suffering lol. In the end this pre-ordered phone wont have cost me much huh
Great device btw, I'm still trying to take it all in

went to best buy at 11:15.

I love this thing
Anyone else getting this when it comes to Three UK?
Anyone know when they will release it?
How much do they charge for early termination of existing contract?
Im on 3 but I'm buying it Sim free. They will charge you the full amount for each month remaining on your contract. Theres really no point in terminating contract as you will just have to pay this amount upfront, you may just as well take out a second one.

They will charge the full amount minus 20% as you cannot be charged VAT on services that haven't been rendered yet.
Or so I believe
Like the others have said, get it sim free - £610 from clove.co.uk with free goodies!!
then get a rolling contract sim - three's SIM ultra pack for £15 is good enough for me, Unlimited texts, Unlimited internet, 1500 talk time. (£360 over 2 years, plus the phone from clove, that is £960 for 2 years total
if you went on contract with the phone, you would be tied up with it for 2 years or so, at approx £50-60 p/month maybe a £60 deposit for the phone = very close to £1500
do the math, it works out better in the long run if you get sim free phone and sim only plan.
I would sell the goodies and my existing S3 to bring the price of the phone down to around £250
It's £600 now on Clove
Ignore that, was reading an old blog post. Is still £612

Oh don't forget to purchase this through quidco!!! £60 approx cashback. I do it every year.
If you already have a contract with them you can cancel it and convert it to a pay as you go sim... You can them keep your old number and port it to the new contract.
Its a no brainer. You end up paying £10 a month for 2000min 5000texts and unlimited date..

I'm not to fussed about 4G. 3G speeds are fast enough for me, plus it's not available on my network yet, or area!
I got mine off ecell (3g version) on ebay for £500 delivered. Takes 7 days to deliver. Im getting 18+ meg download speeda anyway so no need for 4g. Ill have z ultra 2 before 4g is widespread/beneficial on three (first 4g roll out for three uk is in London and a couple of other big cities in December) this phone is so quick at everything youll only need 4g for downloading movies etc for offline use quickly.

The way I see it, I can tentatively get £180 for my existing phone and £150 for the goodies that Clove give with the phone.
That's £330. £610-£330= £280.
If I buy from mobicity it would be £520-£180= £340.
So I'd really be paying £60 more for the 3G version.
Wow, just looked at prices, looking like I would only get around £60 for the free Clove goodies on eBay! That puts the 4G at £370. So £30 more for the 4G.
Bit to much money for me right now

Was the only customer in my local Sprint store this morning. They took over an hour because they were having problems with the new Note 3 and new One Up program. Got it back at home though now. Absolutely LOVE it!!!!!
Good luck to everyone getting it this morning! If you're also using the One Up program then be prepared to wait. They said no one else had been able to do it yet. I was thrilled that they were for me. I was willing to wait all day if I had to though! Lol

My experience was not that bad considering I did a number swap with my girlfriend. Essentially she got my S3and I took her EVO 3D to do the One up. I did the number swap Friday the 4th so I actually couldn't do the One up til the next day. Went in at 9 was out of the store before 9:15. Compared to my S3 the N3 is a beast all its own and I love it.

Note 3 versus Galaxy Mega
Hi, I'm thorn between the Note 3 and the Mega. I know the Note 3 has a faster processor, more memory, ram and better screen resolution. currently I have the Note 2. I need the biggest screen I can get. don't use the Spen too much so no need of it. Anyone have tested the Mega?
A heads-up that Amazon just got the black model in stock -- I got an email saying that my earlier order has shipped, and it shows 2 more in stock currently. http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-Black-Sprint/dp/B00FJ8WBJG/ref=pd_sim_sbs_cps_1
Price is $299.99 for an upgrade, and they don't charge tax to most states (including IL), plus my Chase Freedom card is offering 5% cashback from Amazon purchases this quarter... so my bottom line is $285... pretty good, I'd say.

Well shoot, I see that the upgrade price is now $249.99! I'm chatting with customer service now to see if I can get a credit.

Just a heads up to anyone considering moving from the HTC One to this phone should do it. I loved the speakers on the One but the battery life, screen size, and expandable storage are completely worth the switch. I'm really loving this phone and I use the stylus and S-Notes way more than I ever thought I would.

Ok... I was eligible for an upgrade so I went to Amazon and picked the Note 3 for Sprint. Sero obviously isn't a plan Amazon offers, so I chose one of the plans they do offer and ordered the phone. The phone showed up the next day. Before turning it on, I called Sprint and said I bought a new phone and want to activate it, but stay on the same plan. They said no problem and activated it. Done.
Two years ago when I was eligible for an upgrade that was the method Amazon told me to use if I wanted a plan they didn't offer. Just in case it didn't work, I didn't turn on the phone until I had confirmation from Sprint it would work.

Note 3 vs HTC One Max?
I picked up my Note 3 on 10/5 and have 14 days to return. I'm thinking about checking out the HTC One Max but the non-removable battery may be a deal breaker for me.
Note 3:
My Cons:
Call quality is so bad
I rarely use the SPen (only to show off) so it's useless
hardware power button moves around alot (super minor)
WatchON and My Magazines sometimes pops up with it not responding (I don't use them)
My Pros:
Screensize/resolution is AMAZING (I came from an S2 Lol)
Battery life: WOW. I stream Pandora all day, utube, txt/emails, and I can still get about 24 hr usage with my HEAVY use.
SD Card slot
Removable battery: Awesome for traveling
Charging: WOW. charges from 0-100 in about 2 hours and 30m
HTC One Max(rumored specs) :
My Cons:
Battery: Non-removable battery???? May be a deal breaker for me.
Size: It was looking to be 5.9 view-able but now they think it will be the same 5.7 as our note 3? The phys size looks like it might be half an inch or so bigger then the Note 3. Will be disappointed if the view-able screen is 5.7 instead of 5.9.
My Pros:
If screen-size will be 5.9, this will put me one step closer on making me want to switch.
Similar battery life as the note 3
SPEAKERS!!! I'm a media person, and stereo/front speakers might push me over the top to switch.
Just minor things that I've though about. Please let me know of your thoughts!
10/18 will be the last day I will be able to undo my note 3 purchase with no penalties (besides the $35 restocking fee). I think the HTC One Max will come out on 10/15 as rumored so I'll be trying it in store to get a better feel of which phone suits me best.

First post. Apologize if this is a repost, but the Verizon LG G2 is currently $50 off, for both on contract and off contract pricing. I'm considering buying it at full retail since those prices normally don't drop
Edit: I can't post the VZW link since this is my first post, but if you goolge "verizon lg g2" it should be the first or second hit.
Cheers!
I think they had to because of Amazon's $99.00 price. I complained last week and they gave me the new sale price though I no longer feel I did anything sober they probably knew the sale was coming. I should have paid the 35 restocking.

wonder would ATT match that price drop to the ones that recently bought on?
I just bought my phone 2 days ago. Will they honor that price since I am still within my 14 days?

Try should, usually Verizon has decent customer service in this regard. Besides, what do you have to lose by asking?
I will try for sure.
Called today and they credited my account for the difference. Thanks for letting us know about the reduction in price.
on the website you can get an extra $50 off if you use promo code VZWDEAL. ordered mine today for $99.99!!!!
Wow! So Sprint users are totally getting hosed. First, they have to be last to get it. They've barely been allowed to pre-order it. And the pre-order price is 199.99. If I was still on Sprint I'd be on the phone with customer service threatening to cancel my service.

Did you purchase the phone in store or through customer service?
I tried to get the reduction yesterday, but they told me it either had to be purchased in store or through customer service to price match. I bought it online, so they said I couldn't get the discount.

That's BS. I'd call ask a different rep.

Bought in store. I can't see why it would make a difference if you bought it from Verizon.

Because, depending on who you are talking to, they don't have access to the other systems. It's not universal. Ridiculous if you ask me, but is turning into the norm with a lot of businesses lately.

First post. Apologize if this is a repost, but the Verizon LG G2 is currently $50 off, for both on contract and off contract pricing. I'm considering buying it at full retail since those prices normally don't drop
Edit: I can't post the VZW link since this is my first post, but if you goolge "verizon lg g2" it should be the first or second hit.
Cheers!

Thursday, the Amazon price was $119.99 vs $149.99 at VZW. I started a chat w/ VZW and asked if they could match the Amazon price. The answer was no, but he'd give me a discount code worth $50, so I ended up ordering it Thursday for $99.99 plus activation fee and tax - $137 and change. It is due to arrive Monday.
I got my G2 for a grand total of $50
Not really sure how I got it for that cheap.... I upgraded through my work place, and they said all I had to pay was $50 lol
I still feel lucky. Paid $26 from letstalk a month ago. They actually honored the price, which was shocking.

I agree. I was about to preorder it, but I decided against and I'll wait for Sprint's black friday deals to upgrade instead. My only concern is that I'm on SERO and I hope that they don't mandate some weird pricing for us to limit discounts.
I don't mind waiting an extra two weeks from the release date if it means I can save $50 (hopefully) or so. It'll make a lower resale price (like everything else on Sprint) a bit more palatable. Plus, I'm selling my 4S, so I should come out to a wash with this upgrade cycle.

It really is a shame. They're the 3rd largest carrier yet they act like they're further behind. One of the reasons I left. That and the roaming.
I just want to say that thanks to this thread I was able to get $50 worth of credit onto my account.
Plus thanks to the 30% coupon during the unlimited data glitch sale I paid ~$160. (Which included a $30 upgrade fee which will be reimbursed later due to a promotion during that time as well).
So in the end I will have paid ~$80 for the phone and keep my unlimited data!
Once again thank you so much!

Discussion thread for UK prospective buyers!
Personally I'm looking to purchase on the Three network. Currently on a SIM only deal £15/m for 30GB of data, so its going to be a bit of a hit to my wallet, im sure!
I'm planning purchase direct from Samsung UK on the old CC. Hoping there's a 128gb version available to the UK.
Looking forward to the Unpacked event at 16:00 today
Notification email from Samsung UK during the presentation. Straight onto the order page and order completed at 4.42pm. How sad am I... (never ever queued outside an Apple store)

Odd I received no notification from them and usually they are always sending me them?
Not too impressed by the lack of blue colour at launch.
CarphoneWarehouse deals up now. This is theone id go for.
15GB data £43/m, £220 up front. Works out at £1253 over 24m
If I wanted to buy out right and stay on my current 30GB data £15/m contract, it would be £15/m, £870 upfront which would be £1275 over 24m.
OK I loose half my data, but I rarely go over 15GB anyway. Its with EE though, eughhhhh.
Free Dex on all pre orders as well
Pity the Orchid Grey isnt a release colour...
Why do Samsung always do this nonsense of not releasing the handsets in the more interesting colours.
By the way do they charge now or on dispatch?
whats the difference between the single sim and dual sim models, do they receive the updates on the same day? are there any potential custom rom issues with going for the dual sim?

Not sad at all! I ordered one from Carphone Warehouse at 17:03 - I am a big Note fan and since losing my Note 7 this year it's been a bit miserable. I can't wait to get the Note 8 now.
.
Seems like a big price hike over the Note 7. From memory over £100 more?
Waiting for the price to drop. £870 for 64gb. Lousy offer of a DeX that probably haven’t been selling that well. Otherwise it looks lovely. And I am not going to be a guinea pig and suffer if there’s an issue.

Would you rather pay over a thousand pounds for an iPhone 8?

We’re not talking about iOS. I’d rather not have a freebie, and pay £799. The upcoming android flagships due in September and October are going to be very compelling.
As an another example the S8, S8+ and S8+ Dual sim are easily bought with 15% off the prices shown on Samsung’s website. And from official places. Hence why I’ll wait this time. A few weeks will save me a few quid and maybe we will see some larger storage Note 8 options.
But going back to iOS , the 7+ 128gb costs £819, £919 for the 256gb. So if Apple sell a 512gb option, plus allowing for price increases, a £1,000 plus model is very likely. Difference here is if you want iOS you have no other option.
If Samsung had offered 128gb at the £869 price, that would have been easier to swallow. But that’s life
Any chance UK ex owners of the Note 7 to get a discount on the Note 8?

I've sent this question to the 'President Office Escalations' contact who dealt with my Note7 complaint. Don't hold your breath as I expect the usual patronising response.
