Any stores have it on display? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Does anyone know if there are any att store, preferably in the SF bay area that have the phone for display. I really want to hold it in my hand before I decide to pull the trigger and pre order.

Att corporate stores do not, yet I went to three in Houston , their Samsung reps have brought one in for demo and testing but thats it I'm sure the closer to the 17th they will be there

I held the Carbon Blue mock up at BB. Couldn't believe they didn't have a white one.
After all the hype and reviews about how gargantuan this thing was, when I saw it I was like, "that's not that big, WTH!". After having a Skyrocket for a month it really didn't seem overly huge to me.

Ok so it seems like all best buys have dummies. Good to know, does anyone know when to the last to preorder to get it by the 17th is?
NVM just seen it is the 15th

Yes I tried the dummy version at Bestbuy and compared it to my dell streak. Not much difference in size but thickness for the Note was much thinner.
Sent from the SuperStreak! ;-)

I can say that it is a great device. I tested out both the black and white at CES 2012. I personally really like the white one.

Best Buy, what a joke

I have a Dell Streak...even though it is running 2.2.2, I LOVE it.
I wanted to take a look at the SGS2 just to see if it was as good in person, as
it has been in the press.
Stopped by a blue shirt store (Best Buy), strolled around looking for it. Couldn't find it. Finally a drone asked me if I was looking for anything. Said, yes, but you don't have it. Told her and she said, "oh, we have them, we just didn't bother putting them out". LOL No display for the device, nothing. I said do you even have a non working one. Oh, I guess I have one behind the counter, but with the new iphone coming out....I just turned and walked away.
Best Buy has become such a joke. About all it is good for, is going into the
store to actually HOLD something in your hand, then buying it from Ebay or
Amazon for LESS.
Stopped by a corporate death star store and saw a FUNCTIONING one. Wow! Fast, smooth, BRIGHT. If it wasn't for the smaller 4.3" screen vs the 5" screen I have on the streak, I would have gotten one right then. If the Note comes to the shores before 2012, I'll get one, or just bite the bullet and get the SGS2.
Kind of hard going back to a smaller screen when you get use to a 5 incher.
Yeah Best Buy has gotten bad. I went to make a simple exchange of Infuse for Galaxy S II and left those crappy headphones home by mistake and she wouldn't let me exchange. There was another Best Buy on the way home, stopped in there and the guy didn't even ask about the headphones. They were sold out at 12:15 though so I had to get a return and go to AT&T to get the phone.
The pricing in there is ridiculous. They are butt raping people, 40 dollars for a 6 ft HDMI cord? Get out of here.

Boy you got that right!
Sometimes when I need a hard drive or something RIGHT NOW to fix a down piece of gear, I'll stop there to get it. Hearing the "lies" they tell people sometimes just makes me want to yell RUN! QUICK! Before you get ripped off!
My local Best Buy store got 2 in stock today for AT&T. 2?! Luckily, my regular AT&T store had plenty so I got one there. Slightly harder still was finding a screen protector. After 9 months out of contract I'm back, but it's all good.
You guys must be going to some shady best buys. The one i go to they know me by name and always know what im in for before i even ask for what i want. They also price matched AT&T for me this morning and gave me 10% off for my whole purchase because im a rewards member. Me and Best Buy are friends. lol

Both best buys near me got two each, and one of them is always being slammed by tour busses. I don't know why so many best buys are only getting 2 GS2s each but thankfully I got one of those two so I'm happy.
Sent from my ATT GS2
We got only small quantity of gs2 cause of at&t. We were told that they wanted them because of the extra add on packages and accessories. We are considered second to corporate att . That went over employee news. We can do something called a instant ship though. Which takes about 1 biz day. Cause we basicaly get it from a near att store. lol
but what American wants to wait lol

Does the Best Buy package come with the HDMI adapter? My box doesn't have one but I read in a review that AT&T was including it free.
brianlp, i purchased at Best Buy and it didnt come with the HDMI.
I love the best buy in Fairview heights IL. They only had 2 let me pre-order and then gave me 32 dollars off the phone bought my captivate off me for 112. Everyone was super nice and always have been.

That's what the BB guy told me. He said he could get me one from another store, which I assumed was another BB. I asked him when would they get another shipment, and he said Thursday's is when the truck came in. I said thanks, then drove over to AT&T.
Best Buy can be a PAIN, I will readily admit that. However it can really depend on the service. I tend to get really good service at my local Best Buy. And since we recently bought a new home and upgraded out TV, fridge and washer Dryer, I had a BUNCH of reward zone points. So I pre ordered my GS II at BB. when I got there they where great, they returned my $50.00 pre order to my card. Price matched the "rumored" $148.88 Wal-Mart price, and did it all pretty dran quick too. My total OOP for the phone was $1.88. So while I can agree that in many cases BB isn't the best, currently I am a fan.
I have not had an issue with Best Buy. I had gotten my Nexus S there, now my SGS II and everything went smoothly. They even price matched WalMart for me.

You Want a Note Today?

Go to your local AT&T and ask about the Note and tell them you have it preordered at bestbuy and ask them if you could get it from them they will sell it to today at least that's what I was told I am really thinking about getting it
You could always give it a try. Although I'm skeptical about this happening.
I can't speak for all AT&T stores, but I know that wouldn't work at ours.

When I told the guy at AT&T that I got my skyrocket from bestbuy you would of thought I killed his born lol they hate bestbuy I say if your desperate enough give it a try the worst they could say is no
I'd say it's worth a shot if you have the time and you live close-by to an at&t store. And if you're really welling to pay $300 for a new contract.
But for some people, they probably feel that $300 is a rip-off for subsidized. So they're gonna wait for other 3rd party vendors to drop the price first before making the purchase.

If you have been to a store that has both colors of the GS2 Skyrocket on display, then it should be easier for you to make a decision. Just think of the Note as being larger than the Skyrocket.

When i went into the At&t corporate store near my house they didn't even have a display out, they said they couldn't put anything out until Sunday...
Also at bb (where i preordered) they say they don't have any phones or cases or anything, and that they're HOPING that they get them in tonight...

Stealth Black Availability?

Has anyone seen any in stores/etc? I really want the black one, but am running out of time to buy the phone and still be eligable for the $100 trade in promotion which makes it much more worth while. Most stores I've called say not announced... but one store said a few stores have started getting them. I'd even consider the unlocked or dev version from htc direct, but hence no black available there either...
I'm starting to wonder if the black is worth the extra $100 over the silver... but I'm not sold on the silver yet.

All I know is they are over -150 orders in and they are just waiting for them to start showing up. If you cut it close get the silver and just trade it before the 14 days. I am hopeful that it will be either tomorrow or early next week.
I have not heard from a single person who has got it...
I've seen it in store as a demo and was offered one today but ended up buying the silver. I'm in Atlanta for your reference.

probably but I'm sure you probably can try to argue that it was suppose to be out the 19th and you had to get the rebate just to see what they said. I just talked to AT&T and it may be better news she said that the preorders and now at -144 so either they started shipping some or people canceled the orders.
I guess I'll call some Best Buys today then... I bet they'd even price match Walmart's $150. I'll also try calling a few corporate stores again today, though I'm sure they're tired of people calling.

Unless they actually checked the availability right in front of you there's reason to believe them. I've been misled several times already.
I don't follow market trends or tactics but if I had to make a guess. You will see the black show up on the S4 release date.
Additionally, I'm surprised BB matched Wal-Mart. The price match doesn't include wireless phones. At least that is what their policy states.

We'll know soon enough guys! Can't wait until tomorrow to see if the store where I got my One last week has white ones in stock.
I called 15 stores in the area in the last coupe days finally found one who said they had a white G2. Got there & the manager wanted me to pay a restocking fee to exchange even though I told him my One was defective (gap issue).
He tried to cut a deal with me to sell me 50 bucks worth of accessories & when they saw I wasn't budging, the girl behind the counter told me all of a sudden they don't have the white phone anymore only black...
I dont think most stores will be getting the white in stock. Judging by the info that I've seen with the device it will be treated like the purple xperia or the white note 2. There may be hope for some high volume stores getting it.

Galaxy Fold Pre-Order waiting thread

What color combo/carrier did you order and what are you most excited about for this phone?
I personally preordered in the martian green with the silver spine. I placed the order shortly after pre-sale went live, while watching GoT. I can't wait to get my hands on new tech, i have been very impressed with my s10+ and hope to have a better experience with the fold.

By May 1st, but imagine it will come in by the 26th. Looks like they sold 4500 each of att and tmobile.
I got Martian Green with the gold spine. I figure a futuristic phone would look cool in a funky color. I specifically wanted the gold spine and it's only available with blue and green. The carriers are only selling black and silver with a grey and silver spine so I figure those will be the most common combinations. CNET just posted 70 hands-on pics and a lot of them are green. I don't regret my choice..

Gotta pay to play....and the crease is likely a result of first gen tech, I'm sure it will improve. That said, most reviewers are saying it fades out of sight as you continue to use it...much like a notch.

Seems like there was more demand than everyone expected. I just so happen to check my email on a whim and saw the Pre-orders now open link. It was an hour after they sent them out too. Once I saw that some colors were already gone I figured they were selling fast. Didn't expects those numbers though

Right now its only AT&T and Tmobile. It's possible they will release the phone to other carriers later on with the 5g variant. They still haven't said much about that model
I just pre-ordered the T-Mobile version. I'm planning on buying a pre-paid T-Mobile SIM, load it up with $100 worth of minutes/data, and then request an official unlock code from T-Mobile, as per their unlocking policy. Then I'll test out my Verizon SIM. Verizon is shutting down it's CDMA network at the end of the year, so as long as the Fold can handle LTE bands 2/4/5/13/66, it should hopefully be able to work on Verizon. If it ends up not working, I guess I'll be getting a refund from Samsung.

How are you going to get a refund if you would have used it for a while

You can get a refund from Samsung if the device is returned to them within 15 days, as long as it's in like-new condition. https://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/phones/standard-device-trial-policy/
But if for some reason they won't accept the return, I'll just sell it on eBay.
I also ordered a Martian Green with a Gold Hinge. I know that there will be many shortcomings with the Fold but I just couldn't resist. I do love being an early adopter and with that being said if I am totally dissatisfied with the Fold, I'll return it and just use my Note 9 until the N10 comes out. I think that I'm going to really like this phone and I'm so anxious to get it and hopefully won't want to return it.
On another note, when I ordered on Samsung.com, I took screenshots of each page as I ordered. Only the final confirmation page **did not** state the Martian Green color, only the gold hinge color. Also, my confirmation emails didn't show the Martian green color either (and the Shop Samsung app doesn't).
Did anyone else have this same experience? I chatted with two different Samsung Agents (one today, one yesterday) and they were worthless. Coldn't find any information. The one tonight said to wait until they are in stock to verify. WTH?!?
Damn I'm on T-Mobile and was only able to choose between silver and black. it sucks i wasn't able to choose the Samsung exclusive colors.
ended up getting the silver would have preferred the blue though with gold hinge
AT&T here, I was apprehensive about the phone but after watching the hands-on videos, it made me really want one. By then it was too late and Samsung.com was already out of pre-orders. Like you, I settled for the silver but really wanted the blue with gold hinge. My estimated delivery is the 24th, so we'll see how true that is. Super excited though, even with it's shortcomings I'm just ready for something super different. I remember when the Galaxy Note originally came out and people were going crazy at the size of it. I can only imagine the reactions when I pull the Fold out hahaha.

that's weird because during ordering if i choose the At&t version I was only able to select the blue/green colors but only silver/black with T-mobile.
and you say they were out of pre-orders but you were still able to get one?
Yah I also cannot wait to see the expressions on peoples faces, you will definitely get some looks lol
Oopps, sorry I didn't specify. Samsung.com pre-orders were already gone, I had to go on AT&T's site to pre-order instead. It looks like the pre-orders are still up for them with Silver and Black being the only colors.

Yeah i believe evryones is like this who ordered from Samsung . On mine it just shows hinge color as well. Ive even seen screenshots of others preorder and its the same. So no need to freak :good:
Anyone cancelling there pre order work all these fold units problems? I'm wondering whether to cancel it or if becomes big if Samsung going to hault the fold
Just read this:
https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/nicolenguyen/samsung-galaxy-fold-screen-failure
I'm hoping these are isolated cases. I did read it has a protective film on the inside that is Not to be removed but you better damn well tell the public about it FIRST!
