Who else picked up their Note II in a brick and mortar store? Did you get there before the store opened? Were a lot of people waiting for or discussing the phone?
I got to my local Verizon store a few minutes before it opened. There was already a guy waiting there, so I asked him if he was waiting for the same thing I was... and he was. We talked about the features for a bit and then got let into the store. I got the Titanium Grey model. The store manager did my transaction... when he went back to get the phone, he brought a small pile of cases and screen protectors for me to choose from. I told him I already had both... heh. The guy who was there before me shared emails with me and we tested S-Beam before we left the store. It was pretty cool. I'm surprised there weren't more people waiting for it, but I don't live in a huge town.

i personally had a system glitch when i was using my fiancé's line to upgrade on her line then to switch to my phone to keep my unlimited data. but in the middle of it all the system glitched and i was able to buy the phone on a discounted price without renewing my contract and keep my unlimited data. will be waiting a few weeks to see if my unlimited data drops and if it does they will put in a request to return it the way it was. cause i personally did not sign a new 2 year contract nor was i asked to.
and i was at the store at 11 am there was a older gent in his mid 60's buying one. lol and i bought it in one of the biggest stores in tampa.
I went to a Verizon Store in a BJ's. Guy there was a total jerk. I must have been the first customer since I got there about 10min after the store opened and he was turning on the phones. I exchanged my DNA and got my Note. I was so pissed about the guys attitude. (sighs, tone of voice, throwing my DNA box on the counter) I forgot to ask for a white Note so I'm stuck with a Titanium and I'm not paying $35 to exchange it for a white one.

verizon only allows 1 exchange.
Did you buy the DNA from the same store? If I get attitude, I just tell them to refund me and I'll go buy it online through a 3rd party vendor. That usually changes their attitude.

Yeah I bought the Note and DNA at the Verizon Kiosk at BJ's Wholesale Club. The only other corporate store around here is in the "hip" outdoor mall that is PACKED this time of year.
So since I returned my DNA for this Note, I couldn't exchange it for a white one even if I wanted to?

Probably not. They only allow 1 exchange by policy. Might be able to sweet talk them.
I arrived at my Verizon store at 11 and was able to get the white note 2. I was a little nervous on not being able to get it since the manager the day before told me they only had a total of 4 note 2s (2 grey, 2 white) and that around 70 people called into the store the past few days asking about the Note 2.
I bought my Note 2 outright so I can keep my unlimited data. Oh and there was also a Samsung rep in the store completely decked out in samsung gear with both a Note 2 and S3 in hand checking out the place and taking pictures on how the store was displaying Samsung products. He came up to me and gave me a nice Samsung Mobile pen. He talked about how I liked the Note 2 and I talked to him about his role with Samsung.

I would have told him that its great but its unfortunate Samsung couldn't stand its ground on the bootloader.
Mine was smooth. Went in. Fondled it and Decided to pay retail (keep unlim). I'm surprised the guy didn't try pushing me to upgrade since I'm eligible but I was straightforward on cost and knowledge so he'd have to get the next sucker, haha.

Smooth transaction, no wait. We went up there to pre order on Tuesday and picked it up Thursday. Neither trip took more than 20-30 minutes, and part of that was just bs'n with the guy(gotta establish a hook up!). We were the only order as far as I know(it's a new location), and the guy said he had to take a peek at it before we got there..none of the people there had ever seen the phone before, and they couldn't believe how big it was! I believe most of them had iPhones too, so yeah I'm sure it did look huge to them! Haha. Our salesman had an iPhone, iPad and had just gotten an iPad mini, so let's just say he's no Android expert(or warranty expert for that matter), but very helpful nonetheless. So far I'm happy with the switch. Came from T-Mobile.

Saw best buy mobile in a nearby mall had stock so I ordered it for in store pickup at 6:30 am. Went after work to get the phone. They were sold out of titanium and had one white left when I got there. I got the titanium. Pretty smooth transaction.

I got mine at the VZW store at the mall last night. We had a great rep who took care of us and got done what we needed to as it was a bit of a song and dance porting my number and merging onto my fiancee's account. It took a good while, but he made the time pass quickly.
I'm liking the N2 so far. ^
I got mine at a store in Jacksonville. The sales rep was awesome because I had an issue with my pre-order, and she felt bad so she mine stashed away one for me so I could come get it after class. She said she wasn't really allowed to do that, but she started my order for me so that she had a reason to hold it. She said there were people waiting outside before they opened and sold about 5-6 within the 40 minutes since it opened. They didn't get many in, so I'm assuming I got one of the last ones. Overall a good experience.

I walked into a corp store here in town (Champaign, IL) at 10:45 and was meet by a manager and representative right away. Manager took notice cause I was carrying a box with all the DNA stuff in it .. Asked why I was returning the phone and then asked the sales lady to help me out... Only thing that held me up was the fact that the lady couldn't find the transactions for my DNA case to refund me but eventually did.. I got the White Note 2 and am very happy with me purchase.. My local Verizon store has always been top notch as well.
Not able to buy it yet, but went and checked out the Verizon version in store to see what was different about it. Wife is sold on it too. Thought she'd be getting the iphone 5 so pretty happy she came to her senses. Didn't think she'd go for the note 2 though; been talking about the DNA or the GSIII to her.
Got there around the store opened. A little after 9. Only 2 people ahead of me. My own hassle was being able to keep my unlimited data, because I paid half up front and put the rest on the bill. They had to remove the unlimited then call CS to add it back. Also my cable was faulty, it wouldn't charge so had to go back and get a new one, but they didn't have a white ones left so just gave me a black one. Other than that pretty easy experience.
Bought a Sprint n2 a month ago because we now have sprint lte. But their coverage is not as good as Verizon. So selling the sprint and hour to recoop the 350 cancellation fee. Used upgrade to buy Verizon n2 at 10am on launch day. 5 sold right away. Bought at Verizon store. Went by best buy but to crowded and didn't see a display so they may not have had it yet. Verizon rep very nice and helpful. All went great. Love Verizon and note 2!

You had to exchange the phone for a bad cable?? Or are you referring to the cable color? I got the Titanium Gray, but my charger and cable were white. Is that the norm?
I got such a stress headache worrying that I wouldn't be able to get one. My 14 day return period on the S3 ended on the 29th and the N2 was available on the 29th but I read here and there that some stores only had 2, some didn't have white, etc. If I couldn't get a white one, I was going to have to order it and use an old HTC Rhyme with a cracked screen in the meantime. So as I approached the store at 8:45 and saw cars, one after another turning into the parking lot. My heart was racing as I quickly found a parking spot. I wondered why people aren't getting out of their cars and lining up at the door when I realized there was a Starbucks right in the same shopping center. There was not one person in line for Verizon. I went in, exchanged my phone and was the only customer in the store. They said they had 20 of each color in stock. I celebrated my good fortune with a Starbucks Cappuccino.

They're that good. The phone is impressive by itself, but the combination of a dock that auto-enables the phone into car mode, and the quality of car mode on the phone is unparalleled.
Don't let them hose you out of the experience.

so now i chewed them out for it. then the lady sends me out a universial card dock. so i'm calling back AGAIN to make sure its the HTC dock and not some ****ty as universal one.... gawd this is annoying. hopefully once service is up and running i wont have any problems.

You can buy it on ebay for about $50.
I agree the Car-Mode is the best software HTC put in to this phone. I wish the main Phone app worked like the one in the Car-Mode, then I wouldn't have to use ExDialer (an enhanced clone of the dialer in Sense 1.0... and the one in Car-Mode is a limited version of that same thing).

I called customer service and explained that I pre-ordered and I had problems with the website. Well they said they didn't have any in stock, so the lady I spoke with said she made a note on my account so I could get one. Well I just got the phone on Tuesday of this week, and just today went to a retail T-Mobile store. The store didn't have any of the docks so should I call CS back and ask again?
Edit (5-6-13): I went through 12 customer service reps this morning from 8:30AM to 11:10AM before finally resolving the issue... sort of.. after getting transferred, not called back when was told i would be, disconnected, and hung up on... longest time ive ever been on the phone with CS. The last rep I spoke with gave me a $70 credit to my account and she explained she saw the one on amazon.com so she gave me the $70 for the trouble even though she had seen some for cheaper. I ordered it directly from HTC. what a godamn hassle. Next to dust off and reset my blackberry curve 8900 to send back to htc for the $100 visa gift card XD

Ikr, little to no news since announced.
I check every few hours for a confirmed release date, looks like samsung nailed it with this one, willing to retire the Gear 1 for it.
I Found this
The Gear S is Samsung’s curved screen watch running Tizen (not Android Wear), and it'll be out in November for $449. The Gear Circle, a wraparound stereo Blue tooth headset, will be out at the same time for $179.

From an Australian website called gizmodo so I think the prices mean Australian Dollar so This are 311€.
Yes, If Samsung or carriers allow non- contract options. If U.S carriers treat the gear S with a monthly contract then No. I'm hopping Samsung will allow simple bluetooth connection for those who don't want to pay extra monthly payments to their cell carrier.

I tried today but the store did not have it in. I will try next week.
Before rushing to buy this watch one may have to consider this one http://www.phonearena.com/news/New-...s-CDMA-connectivity-coming-to-Verizon_id61105. It may run Android not Tizen.
I'm pretty interested in the Samsung Gear S, too. I'm looking forward to seeing it here in Japan.
I went yesterday, drove two hours to the Raleigh location, def big but very premium and nice looking, no doubt when wearing it that it is a smartwatch. Unfortunately the AT&T people knew nothing, I mean nothing lol I think they were surprised it was even sitting there ... fortunately I knew what I was looking at. Problem was it wasn't turned on, and wouldn't turn on, not sure if that's on purpose or this at&t just sucked, but I played with it and the note 4 both very nice devices!
Want really stoked about the note 4 until after I played around with it yesterday, and have been looking forward to the watch since unveil! Refreshing Google looking for a release date, pricing and how they plan to do the sim option.
Still has not appeared at the nearest AT&T store.
All,
I purchased the Gear Circle wireless headphones from T-mobile. I saw a tweet from a T-mobile employee yesterday stating that are available in local stores. Whaa!?! I called five stores and finally found a store in Tampa who had them in stock. They are selling them for $130.
I've had them for 30 minutes so I haven't had much hands on time with them. The sound quality is great as you can adjust the equalizer on your phone. My only complaint so far is I wish I could turn the volume up higher. There might be another option for it. I need to play around with the headset more.
Anyhoo, thought I would spread the news to my xda family. Enjoy!

You may or may not have this answer depending on the devices you very had what's the difference between these and the LG tone plus(or any LG tone varient) I want to justify pay 130$ I have the tone plus myself but I see a lot of carriers Employees in store wearing the LG tone lines as well the Ultra in sprint/AT&T.
wow 130!! They better be good. I might have to wait for more reivews to come out and maybe same deals on these.

Assuming you don't have the Gear S yet what do you have it paired? Your Note 4 by chance and is there a separate app you have to download for the speech to text or can you just say OK Google right out of the box
Sorry, I cant speak on the comparison between the Circle and the LG headphones as I never owned a pair of LG headphones.
I'm a avid runner/bicyclist and I wanted wireless headphones while exercising and these fit the bill. Cost was not an issue.
The headphones work with S voice out the box. I've tried using Google as the default and no dice. Is there another app I can use to make Google work? I'm not a fan of S voice.
Update: I'm using "S for Switch Voice" to use Google Now on my Note 3. Instructions for the app are in the link below. Hope this helps.

I saw that the gear circle has NFC have you tired that yet? I guess this helps justify the high price they want. Although I saw some on Ebay for around 100$
Wow, I didnt know the circle had nfc capabilities. Sounds cool. But I'd rather swipe my card than pull off my headset to pay for something. Call me lazy!

Why does a headset need NFC? I'm planning on vetting a headset along with the gear s but is there really any difference between these and the LG???

I think the NFC has to do with the tags so it can automatic connect once it;s in range of the tag vs bluetooth. I have the LG tones Plus they work fine for me when the price comes down to say 60$ I will buy the circle
Yeah I imagine the Nfc tag is there to connect to a device / start an app like music player rather than as a payment method.
These look like a sweet set of headphones but don't know if I have a need for them!

Good question. when I bought my GS today a guy bought his 2 along with the gear circle he leased the GS not sure about the GCircle can you put down payment on gear circle?
So you guys may remember the promotion Samsung held in June. Where if you buy a regular S6/S7, S6/S7 Edge, or Note 5 between June 1st and June 19th, Samsung would send you a free Gear VR Along with some "experience pack" that has some games and movies, to my understanding, worth $50. Making the total package worth $150. Or the software pack was worth $150. I can't remember exactly, but I'm pretty sure it was the former. Well I bought my S7 in May, so I didn't qualify for it. But figured "what the hell. Worst that can happen is they deny me" and submitted for it anyways. And, well, they denied me. I figured that would be the result and shrugged it off. I still wanted a Gear VR, and planned on buying one, a few days before I was gonna get it, my laptop that had been hanging on by a thread, finally bit the dust on me. So I ended up putting the Gear VR on the back-burner and had to get a new laptop instead.
Fast-forward to a couple days ago and I get a random email from Samsung. They wrote that although I was initially denied the Gear VR bundle, they changed their minds. Telling me that I'll be notified when it ships (likely 6-8 weeks) and at that time I will also be provided with instructions to redeem the software bundle for it. That was awesome news to me. They didn't have to do that. I was already denied. They could have just left it at that, and no hard feelings, I bought my phone outside the time-frame after all. I was dead in the water. But they decided to manually override my denial and change it so that I WOULD get one instead. They had no reason or obligation to do so, but did it anyways. I'm so excited, and so happy to be receiving one that I thought I would make a post about my awesome experience with them. They definitely went above and beyond for a customer. So I wanted to make this thread to publicly thank Samsung, and to also show the community that I think their customer service is fantastic for going far above and beyond in order to hook me up with the Gear VR just out of the goodness of their hearts. Huge thumbs up for Samsung's service.. Great experience...
well I stand corrected. I got an email this morning with a tracking number. I should get it by the weekend. Sure sounds a lot better to me than 6-8 weeks lol. Also, since I'm rooted, I can hook my PS3 controller up to it, which is perfect. I can't wait to start playing with it

ETA:
FedEx updated me that my shipment is no longer in the "label printed" status and has actually shipped. I'll have it by the end of the day Saturday. Now that it's officially in the air, I can't get any "oh it was a mixup. We didn't intend to send you the approval email. Your purchase didn't qualify afterall, so we can't send you the promotional gift. We apologize for the misunderstanding" kinda crap that I was half expecting with my luck. But now it's in the air so I just gotta wait for it to arrive... Now I really can't wait

really? You should. I've read movies alone are incredible. And the games made for it are likely even better
I'm so excited for mine that I've gotten everything prepared to be able to start using it the moment it comes
sure , samsung is raising
I bought a used Sprint S7 off of Swappa and did the promo submission with my PayPal receipt thinking it would probably not be approved because it wasn't new from an official seller... I received an approval and shipment notice within 48 hours. Samsung is being pretty generous with their promo! No complaints here!
Heh, I bought an S7 2 days after the promo ended guess I should have given a shot back when submissions were open!
Lucky you anyway OP.
Is there any way of claiming one now?
I bought the S7 on July 15th. The perfect date to get absolutely nothing! I suppose it's not worth submitting a request anyway?
Congrats, I wish the promotion was still going on but I got a used one off ebay. Is there a big difference between the 2016 version and the older version? Can the newer version fit A case with my s7?

I received the Gear VR '16 in December after buying S7 Flat screen 930F. Is it just me or doesn't it fit the S7 Flat properly?
They were actually meant for the Note 7 as they all come with the Type C adapter. Therefore (me thinks) it was meant for the larger phones being the Note and Edge series. But it works ok - just feels like the phone might fall out of the casing.
I got lucky! Back in December, my previous phone (LG G3) died. Called Verizon to see if any deals were coming up since at the time, the only good ones were with trade-ins. Since my G3 was dead, no trade-in possible. The rep looked and found in his email that starting the next day, various phones would be on-sale for $10/month with no-trade in! This was for the Moto Z, S7, iPhone 7s, and the Google Pixel. I immediately went with the S7.
When I went in the next day (couldn't wait for online to be delivered), the rep in the store brought out the Gear VR. I stated I didn't want to purchase it. He said he understood, but at the time, they were doing the special where if you purchased an S7 or S7 Edge, you got the Gear VR 2016 for free. He wasn't sure if it would work for the no trade-in deal I was using, but he wanted to see if it would. Lo and behold, when he scanned it in with my S7 purchase on the $10/month no trade-in deal, it came up free! So I got quite a deal all together. My phone is $10/month with no trade-in and I got the Gear VR 2016 for free to boot. Also, they included an Oculus code that was good for a $50 valued bundle that covered one of two bundles that I could choose from: a game bundle, or another bundle that included 2 movies (ID4 - the original in 2D, and Life of Pi in 3d) as well as some other VR apps, including Face your Fear, Ocean Rift, etc. Wasn't too bad. Face your Fear was good, especially the Story Time where you're a child in your bed at night and you can choose from three supposedly "happy" books to read at bed time. Yeah, right! Very well done!

I'm such a klutz! After Youtubing, I discovered that you have to move A to B on the VR device by pressing down on that "adapter" for the smaller S7 or S6 to fit in properly. Now I'm happy... hope this helps anyone.

LOL. Yup! That's correct! I figured that out myself as well when I first tried it. I kept wondering why my S7 kept slipping out until I read the instructions. RTFM! :laugh:
