If you bought in the UK after the 15/11 till not sure when, you can get a free Samsung flip cover
Nice. Thank me later.

Would have preferred the $50 of Play Store credit, but any freebie is something. Just hope they take the packing slip which I got from Vodafone as proof of purcahse, as I appear to have nothing else official.
And for those of us who bought it on launch? Nothing!
I'm quite annoyed at Samsung right now. US owners who bought it at launch get 50$ free google play credit, yet those of us in the UK get bugger all (apart from this flip case and that's only counted if you bought it in the last 5 days). Come on Samsung, sort it out!

Your annoyance is nothing compared to mine!
upgraded at phones4U shortly after the note 3 launched and not even 2 weeks later they have an offer where if you take a new 4g contract you get the galaxy gear FREE!
2 of my friends did it and they have £300 smartwatches that cost them nothing while i got nothing.
P***** OFF!!!
Ha I feel bad now for mentioning it.
Still, better than nothing at all I guess
Just had an email saying my claim is valid (Vodafone sent a paper invoice yesterday which I was able to email to Samsung). Lets see how long it'll take for the cover to arrive then.

They're doing a deal now where you get a free Galaxy tab 3 7.0 when you take out a 4G contract.
That would have been a sweet deal.
Ah feck, I bought mine on the 30/10 - Bloody Samsung
Got mine today after ordering at the time I posted the OP. Looks great, can't complain one bit given it was a freebie

Still waiting for mine. Turns out that despite emailing them a photo of the Invoice, them replying with thanks we'll process your claim, they then ignored the attachment. Fortunately I was able to annotate a picture highlighting the supplier, date and product using the phone and it's finally been processed.

Got it delivered today.
Mine finally arrived, but I took the cover off after a day. I use Light Flow to managed the LEDs and they get hidden.
Trying to take photos becomes a pain because you need to hinge the away from the lens, but not over the screen.
If you have the cover flipped back for too long if will stay open. You can restore the position by leaving your phone face down, but then my phone is face down.
Placing on my stand at night, one position results in the cover falling forward, another results in the phone being pushed away, at night it tends to be dark and I just want to put the phone down.
During the night I can't quick glance at the phone, tap home or power to check the time.
It's a nice cover, feels good, just impractical. Thank god I didn't spend £40 on it.
I got mine today.
Its a flip wallet cover. I thought it is flip view cover. What you have received guys ?

Annoying when the site still says it should be delivered today. Took me 45 mins to order it and then it isn't even going to arrive this week, what a let down.
I know you guys are disappointed but it might be a blessing.Just look at the nexus 7 forum at all the chaos from the 4.2 update.Maybe by the time you do get your tablet a lot of the apps might be updated where you can at least do something with your tablet besides look at it.
The update screwed up many of the apps most of us use and it might take a little time for getting them updated to work.I had rather unbox a tablet that has everything working than one where I can't use right off the bat. jmho

Just putting it out there, they stated that it will be shipped out by 2 business days not delivered by 2 days.
If you don't see the tracking info by the end of the day or tomorrow morning, then call and demand they give you back shipping cost or discount or something.
I'm with you on the frustration of waiting though. I feel like the last few days been forever long.
Mines shipped, gonna be here on Monday...
Mine has just turned up, shocked but over the moon :good:

Mine still says pending. I phoned them up and they said they're having delays because people bought so many. He said that even though mine says 'shipping date 15th'... I'll probably receive it by Tuesday
Kinda annoyed but hey. Never before has £10 delivery taken an entire week
I am in BIrmingham UK if that makes any difference
I just got of the phone with Google...mine "will be delivered in 3-5 business days".
I "should receive a tracking number by the end of the day today". Looks like I will be waiting till next Tues/Wed.
I ordered mine at 8:34am 11/13...live in Tennessee.
horrible service. Ordered on tuesday and still pending. seriously?meh what pisses me off is I have to pay 14$ for a non 2 day shipping
Same here, I saw this coming. My nexus 7 which was pre-ordered,arrived 3 weeks after the launch date. Got a defected device, the replacement one took another month to get delivered.
I even forgot that I ordered a n10 on Tuesday morning. Lol

Ignore the above, just got my shipment email
Mine shipped this morning. Should be here tomorrow.
Same boat here in Indiana, no shipping info yet, still pending. I can't remember the last time I paid 15 bucks for shipping, and for it to take a week... really sucks. I'm just anxious I'm going to get one with a bunch of light bleed >_<
Ugh just got off the phone. Won't ship till tomorrow(Friday). Why am I paying $15 for two day shipping to receive my Nexus a week later. Granted I know it literally means 2 days from the day it ships, but it's still implied that I'll get it in two days. Three tops.

oh well, who on earth take TWO business days just to process. Can't believe it. it's just a click on the computer, isnt' it? They should have expected lots of orders and prepared the most for this.
Just when to my local Verizon store and they have note 2 in stock. Nice rep let me play with it. I notice multi windows options working. WiFi toggle missing from pull down notifications. Oh and the good part, Verizon logo on the button can be removed, it's just painted on the top, you can feel it was your fingernails.

I called my local store and asked if they would be getting them in this week. The girl said that they were only taking pre-orders on it, and then put me on hold for about 5 minutes, after which she told me that they were launching tomorrow (Wednesday). I then made an appointment at 10:30 to get mine! I asked if they already had them in stock and she then checked this and said that they had 3 on hand.
If all goes well, I will have mine at about 11:00 tomorrow, but I have this feeling that I will be disappointed at the last minute (something won't go right and I will end up walking out empty handed and pissed off).
Only 3???
I hope its tomorrow. I want it. Anyway to call CS or anything and see?

I am in a pretty small market here. I was concerned about the possibility that they wouldn't have many, so I was trying to get an early appointment on Thursday. I never expected that they would tell me that launch was on Wednesday. I honestly think they are mistaken, and that the they won't be able to activate the phone or something (or won't be able to sell it to me).

I'd think it will be possible to activate it. Reviewers etc already have a while ago, and I doubt they did anything special to only let them activate it, since they seem to always have pretty good control over when people get the phones anyways. You might get lucky.

Ditto. I think they've been plenty annoyed with me already asking when the launch date is and if they can reserve one for me (I can't pre-order and keep my Alltel phone online), so maybe they'll just shove one my way early. I called last morning and they said they were "getting them in" today. Whether or not they're available for purchase remains to be seen.
Update: They won't sell them today; going to have to wait until tomorrow.

Yeah, I don't think they're allowed to sell today. Probably get in a lot of trouble if they did.
It would be nice if they would make an exception for long time customers....
Will they possibly let us check them out in person first? Do they wait until tonight/tomorrow to put out the display unit or could they already be out?

As I expected, I got shot down when I showed up for my appointment. They got the dates mixed up so I wasted 45 minutes of my day.
I set up another appointment for when they open at 10 am Thursday.

He is correct , that feeling is etching not paint. Deep in here somewhere is a thread from a review who confirms its an etching and not paint.
What's up everyone, made a new account but am familiar with the xda squad.
Anyways, I just placed an order yesterday (My birthday!) for the Sony Xperia ZU C6833 (Version suited for 4G LTE) from atgsm.com
It's based in New York and they sell other phones as well. I plan on using this with my T-Mobile account and their 4G LTE service. I received a call from them today saying they got a wrong shipment, they got the C6802 instead. The lady told me I had to wait another week or so for the new shipment to come in, in this case the C6833 (4G LTE)
Does anyone here have the C6833 already and is this normal for them to get wrong shipments and/or has the device simply JUST released? And if so where did you get it from? I'm sure I'm not being scammed as I've read about others buying the C6802 from atgsm.com so nothing to worry about there.
Thoughts and comments?
Thanks for your kind understanding!
Oh man..sorry to hear.
I almost pull the trigger with them last week. I emailed them and asked them if they have the c6833 in stock. They replied with a YES. But then i found a better deal on ebay $710 bases out of Texas. I checked their feedbacks and saw that 4 folks had already received their c6833 with no complaints. So i went with the Texas shop. Its coming Monday. I hope im getting the c6833.
I hope you will sort things out smoothly with yours. But i hate the fact that they lied. And also the wait.
Thanks bro appreciate the info, could you be kind to link me the ebay post if it's still available? I can still cancel my order. I already ordered a case and some screen protectors so I'll need the phone asap, it's a nightmare looking at a leather case without anything to put in it lol.

Sorry. The sale had ended. They only had them on sale at that price for 3days. They are back at $999 now.
If you want, i can link you. You then can send them an offer them $710 with free shipping any colors. They might accept.
Here is the link. Im in california and i bought this 2 days ago. I already got my tracking info. Good luck.

I want to keep the sony logo on the front. I just bought the full front and back screen protectors from Xtremeguard. I youtubed their products and they are awesome, especially for $6, the Spigen glass is too expensive and again..the wait. I also bought one of those thin flip cover from China. Im planning to purchase an OTG cable for reading thumbdrive directly to the phone. I was gonna pick up a magnetic dock charger, but too many bad reviews on it.. I will also buy the sbh52 bluetooth headset when it comes out.
Nice! Where can i find the cable to read USB drives directly? Does it read it just like a regular micro SD card or any other external storage device?
Also, do you think it's possible to have an HDMI output on the device or some sort of adapter so I can connect it to a projector or a tv? That'd be awesome!

Hey guys, my name is Jorge and im new to the forum. I ordered my C6833 from Negri Electronics last Friday and it came in on Wednesday with a little help from 2nd day shipping. First time ordering from them, but they were helpful every step of the way. One thing that annoyed me about Negri was their constant price decreases. The phone had went down in price twice before I had even received my phone!! I was given a price break refund so I cannot complain too much. Hopefully you get yours soon. Its a really fun phone. :good:

Thanks Jorge for your input!! I couldn't order from negrielectronics.com NOT because of their reputation, I've watched countless review videos on YouTube and most of them got their phones and supplies from them, but rather because of the price. I could always cancel my order if something happened to go wrong or if they just took too long, resting assured that my money is still safe as they only charge the credit card once they ship out.
Hopefully you can post up some pics of the phone and whatever accessories you'll put on the Xperia ZU! It really is one hell of a phone, I'm coming from an SG3 haha. Let me know how your service with them was and are you ready to root it and put a custom UI so you can maximize the screen and use it in tablet mode/phone mode at will?

aww man. I see what you mean. I got anxious to order since I had been waiting on it for months, so I just pulled the trigger. $100 dollars difference is quite a bit. I just checked and it is only 30$ more than atgsm.com price is currently, but im sure that will come down again in the next couple of days. I contacted Negri about a price match once again, so we shall see what they say.
I ordered the Incipio Feather case and chopped that up since they left out the magnetic charge port. Made a thread with pics in the ZU accessories section you wanted to check that out. other than that I am waiting on the tempered glass screen protector to come out. I too am coming from GS3, and theres no comparison on sonys UI and touchwiz. Sonys version of android just feels so much better IMO. But thats probably because I came from iphone before that.
I have very good experiences from AtGSM, I bought both the Xperia Z and the Z Ultra from them and that was by visiting the store itself. I like their product selection and that they got new devices in stock quickly, it just took a few days from that Sony started shipping the Ultras back in August before they received them.
So I can recommend the store. For those living in New York, it is actually worth to visit them since it is a different experience - the store is a small office actually. Not like a cellular store with demo devices etc, just this office with a store room at the back. They always show the device to you so you can check it out before taking the final decision.

Thanks man I appreciate the input! And that makes me feel a lot better,I order on Sept. 18 so in couple of days they SHOULD be having the C6833 in stock now. I couldn't wait for the US version I needed it now! Besides, the US and INT versions are both the same except for AT&T users, which I'm not (T-Mobile) and I should be able to connect to their 4G LTE speeds if I'm correct.
Thanks again, I'm based on the west coast o I don't think I'll be visiting their office anytime soon, but definitely I'll order there again if I need anything and they have it at a discounted price.
I just picked mine up from Overseas Electronics on Saturday for $760 after tax (I believe they have it in every color. I got mine in black). Since they're located in Chicago and I'm only an hour away, I just made the drive up to their shop and picked it up. All I can say is this thing's awesome, although I'll admit the battery issue needs to be addressed and the touchscreen on my device needs to be recalibrated. The manager also informed me that the new headset and smartwatch will be in stock this week, so I'll eventually get my hands on the SBH as well. Be sure to check them out though!

Wow man.. you look all ready and set! The magnetic transfer/charging cable is a must have although I'm not getting it just yet, I'll be alright wit the standard micro usb cable for now.
Mind I ask, what firmware do you have? And are you using something like CM because you transferred everything and all your info to your phone at once? I'm new to Sony and I'm not that familiar with it's rooting process, I for SURE don't wan a brick! Samsungs are more of my specialty but I need just some quick tips preferably from someone who already has done it. (I've seen the forums on here about rooting/troubleshooting as it's sometimes darn confusing!)
Thanks for the info on FedEx shipping out your phone though, hope you enjoy your device! I can't wait or mine, it's coming Friday!
Please use this thread to discuss devices other than and any comparisons with other devices on or about the Note III in this thread and any other off-topic issues that are not needing a new thread.
Post with respect, this is a helpful community, hope we all learn from this stuff in here.
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.

My order has been changed to reflect the new price! FYI, amazon's price match policy on cell phone purchases - http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/?nodeId=201077510

At the link I pasted. Choose individual or family account, and the option "I have a Sprint account and want to upgrade my current device to this one" gives a $249.99 price either way. Are you seeing something different?

I would like to know as well. It would be nice to get some of my money back.
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.

I just ordered it through Amazon online. I chose a random plan and called Sprint to activate it and keep my same plan before turning it on. Worked like a champ on this phone and my previous phone two years ago.

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.
How were you able to retain your sero?

Once he physically got the phone, he called and just activated the phone on his current plan, which is a SERO.
WTF is a sero

Anyone else preorder from Best Buy?
They sent me an email saying I can come in tomorrow, but it seems like only the wireless charger is in stock. No updates on the actual phone.
I received an email as well however mine makes mention of the phone and nothing of the wireless charger lol
The phones and chargers are there, I work for best buy everyone got their stock today worst case they will be unboxing it when you get there.

Does it vary store by store? If you look at the Check Shipping and Availability option, some stores have:
"Pre-Order Now
Pick up 04/10/2015"
and most others just say "Unavailable"
It depends if the stores processed the check in. Some wont have it done until the morning. Once the sku is in the system it auto emails the pre order customers.
Since you work for BB, can you tell me what I should do if my phone has the scratched screen issue? Will they let me have another one right away?

If they do it during the morning about how long before opening hours would we get an email?

I love how everyone is trying to narrow it down to the minute I know we're all stoked, but come on now guys. Just give the store a call every now and then after they open to find out when it will be available. worst case scenario is you get it 2 hours after they have it available.
Everyone enjoy their phones, and check for those scratches!
Went this morning, said mine didn't arrive that day and they couldn't give me an ETA.
Cancelled and went to AT&T store. Complete waste of my time, chance at a free wireless charger did not make it worth it.
My BB didn't even get 1 single Edge in today!?!?! What is that? May just cancel and grab one from AT&T. Kinda amazed myself.

Lol. This is my exact experience. They didn't have my 64GB Edge on ATT so I got my $50 back and walked to ATT. Not only did they have the Edge, they had it in 64 and white. My exact preorder. Super happy. No scratches !!!!

got it
the best buy manager called me in the morning saying they got their shipment late but would arrive 1-3pm. He called again later when the shipment arrived and I made an appointment.
It took a while to actually get the phone once I was in the store because of some computer glitches, but I have mine! and I am happy.
