Shops in Belgium are stupid in general, The Phone House is the only one that has more information on the right now.
Shops that have them from next week import them from The Netherlands/Germany/France/UK. The Belgian customization with pre-installed Belgian apps will not be available before April 2.
Cheapest in Belgium with availability starting next week will be www.gsmwijzer.be.
just pre-ordered one from SONY store in Hong Kong. Sales said release date would be 7-8 March for the black model and mid-to-late Mar for the white one. For my purchase (of the white model), the collection date is "after 19 Mar".

nope, I have this information since November 10, but its not accurate & no guarantee. I have inside contacts in Nokia & its CONFIRMED that L920 & L820 are not coming to India this year. No fixed date for Next year as well !
hey everyone..Tired of waiting for India launch.Get ur contacts and let us know abt the launch date of Lumia 920.:fingers-crossed:
I am interested in the bands which will be available for India
Nokia india site updated with L920
i hope some of u might have noticed that nokia india website is updated with L920 details. Launch on 23rd dec.
Lumia 920 is NOT launching in India this year. I am not allowed to post Image links yet as I dont have 10 post so just remove the space between this link & open it : http : //i45. tinypic. com/ 2z8rkaf.png
Confirmed to release 1st week of Jan 2013
india launch on jan 1st week only..Damn.
The Aplha is launching in India on 27th of September. I am eagerly waiting for it. I hooe there are many others.
Share here ur colour choices. Nd also share the price in which u buy this device after the launch.
If they price it over 40k, they are going to lose some more sales numbers. I am still deciding between this and Z3C..
Samsung Galaxy Alpha launched in India for Rs. 39990 - LINK
phone is good and performs better, but i dont think, it will success in india, neither even sell good, especially in this price tag... i think waiting for price fall would be great for those want this phone..
The battery is holding me back since I am on LG G2 now.. which is a monster still with heavy battery backup.
Does anyone know which version will launch in India? I'll be there in a couple weeks and if the price is right I may pick one up.

They officially dint announce it yet, but Samsung stores in Delhi do have the Alpha for sale already and also it's available on Samsung's e-store for 39.7k
On e-stores, the price is always on the higher sode... its strange that none of samsung's store in chandigarh has it on sale.
Finally it is available in stores. Got it last night for 36k. So far finding it far better comfortable than polpular 5 inches screen size segment. Rest everything is same. Nothing new.. as i am coming from galaxy s5
For anyone wondering the model I found was SM-G850Y. It was the same in the 3 shops I visited here in Delhi. I was hoping I could find the SM-G850F.

Latest Statement updated on 17 September 2016
To protect and reassure our customers who have purchased the Galaxy Note7 in Hong Kong and Macau*, we will be issuing two software updates.
1. Mandatory software update to protect customers with devices which may be affected by the battery issue
A mandatory software update will be issued on 18 September 2016 to the remaining 159 Galaxy Note7 devices* – purchased in Hong Kong and Macau between 26 August and 1 September 2016 – which may be affected by the battery issue. This mandatory software update will limit maximum battery capacity to 60% as a safety precaution and help urge customers to return these affected devices as soon as possible. Push notifications and public announcements will be made beforehand to alert consumers of the rationale and consequences of this automatic software update.

If the device is subject to the replacement program, the device should be turned off immediately and returned to our customer service centre.
2. Optional software update for Galaxy Note7 devices unaffected by the battery issue
For Galaxy Note7 devices* which are not affected by the battery issue, an optional software update will be issued starting from 19 September 2016 to reassure consumers that these devices do not need to be replaced and can be used with confidence. After updating, the battery icon of these Galaxy Note7 devices will be changed from the current grey colour to green to signify that they are not affected by the battery issue.
For customers who have any further questions related to Galaxy Note7, they are welcome to visit a Samsung Customer Service Centre where we will address all concerns and ensure complete customer satisfaction.

I think this is the update that limits full battery charging, something I don't want. The States will get all new devices.

Did you buy from an authorized reseller?
Got my N9300 off eBay from never-msrp so I can't tell if the imei checker works, since it gives two answers: unaffected/from unauthorized seller.
Will update later today hoping for the green icon.

Use the the USA Samsung IMEI checker, it is more definitive. Provide SIM1 IMEI.

What was the approximate size of your update? I did update mine (and it turned green) but the file was over 300mb and it took almost an hour after downloading to update, which makes me think it was not only a battery color / verification

Interesting. I might have gotten a combo update then. Oh well it seems pretty stable with no bad surprises except for the ugly battery icon, so i can't complain

Thanks. I hope there's not much difference between N9300 and N930FD in terms of FDD-LTE and TD-LTE compatibility. My existing N930FD supports both.

I saw this one earlier but doubted the contents. It says here that "Besides, the Chinese version SM-N9300 could come with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage." How I wish this is true.
I have been to this site as well. Not sure though if the variant and connectivity information is accurate. What's the default variant sold in HongKong?
http://techbeasts.com/list-of-samsung-galaxy-note-7-model-numbers/
Official HK version is the SM9300 which is a regular Note 7 with Snapdragon. It has slightly less bands than the 930FD. Check online for the exact list.
I am getting slightly better battery life with this latest firmware. But still get a bit of lag on the Samsung keyboard.

My battery seems as good as before, but its lagging more unfortunately. Fast scrolling on YouTube or the Play Store is where the lag is the most noticeable.
Just a friendly reminder that T-Mobile SUCKS when it comes to updates. For the 2nd year in a row they are the last US carrier to update the Note 8. Last year they were by FAR last to update the Note 8 to Oreo. They released and then immediately pulled the OREO update on April 1st and 3rd. They then held it until May 15. Hey T-Mobile! YOU SUCK!
2018 Note 8 OREO Updates Pushed:
March 27, 2018 AT&T
March 30, 2018 Sprint AND Verizon
May 15, 2018 T-MOBILE (SIX+ WEEKS LATER!)
Tmobile pushed Oreo on April 2, 2018. Not sure where you got May 15th from.

And they immediately PULLED the update a day later because they found a bug and released it six weeks later. Do better research.
https://www.androidauthority.com/android-8-0-update-784308/
Samsung Galaxy Note 8
March 12, 2018 – Canada unlocked: Samsung Canada revealed it would start rolling out the Oreo update from March 18, 2018.
March 16, 2018 – France unlocked: Users in the European country began reporting signs of the Oreo update earlier today.
March 27, 2018 – AT&T US: Users are reporting in droves that the OTA Oreo update has appeared on their devices.
March 30, 2018 – Sprint and Verizon US: Oreo is now available for Sprint and Verizon users in the US.
April 1, 2018 – T-Mobile US: T-Mobile became the last major US carrier to roll out Oreo to its Note 8 subscribers.
April 3, 2018 – T-Mobile US: Spotted by Android Police, it looks like T-Mobile halted the Oreo update for its Galaxy Note 8 subscribers and has not yet restarted its OTA rollout.
April 3, 2018 – Unlocked US: According to multiple user reports on Reddit, Android Oreo is rolling out to unlocked Galaxy Note 8 units in the U.S.
April 13, 2018 – Unlocked UK: Samsung is rolling out the Android 8.0 Oreo update to unlocked Galaxy Note 8 units in the U.K.
May 13, 2018 – T-Mobile US: The carrier apparently fixed the issues that caused it to halt the first update and started rolling out Android Oreo to Note 8 devices again.
Here, I made you something.
And your point is? ?
I'm on tmobile. It updated this morning
Yep. Got it at 2:30 am earlier today (T-Mobile)
From my perspective, that makes T-Mobile the *best* at updates, since they actually fully test them - and pay attention to feedback from early upgraders. When it comes to something as critical as OS updates, the last metric you want to score them on is speed of release.
