The Galaxy Note 8 is being released here in Japan on the 26 of October (this month). :good:
I'll be getting it, and I'm looking forward to getting involved again with this community.
(Has anyone with the Maple Gold color been disappointed for any reason? I've reserved that color, because I thought it looked really nice on other phone models with rounder curved edge screens, but in the store the Note 8 didn't quite have the same look in Maple Gold because the screen edge is less curved. I'm not sure if I'll switch to black at the last minute. I also don't know how the gold will match cases and such..)

I'm not a gold phone lover, but would have probably got the maple gold one if it were available in my region.
I was watching TechZilla video on YouTube, his is the maple gold and it looks really nice.

The gold is nice. But when I look straight down at the screen, the tiny edge of the gold appears around the edge of the glass, which to me made it feel a little smaller or framed. The black blends in more so it looks like the glass itself. So I changed my mind at the last minute.

My thoughts exactly! The first time I went to a samsung store to check it out maple gold note 8 looked like a stupid slab compared to my midnight black S8+. So, l went for the black note 8 which looks awesome! I think the maple gold S8/S8+ looked awesome too.

Good point about the black blending. My Note 8 is black and it's almost a surreal black. Everything blends .

Where have you seen it will be released here?
I haven't seen it at any of the mobile shops and it's now November.
Hmm.. you're right.
Looks like it up online at Docomo and AU

But I haven't seen dummy phones or working models anywhere.. just the S
Either way unless you really want perfect band coverage here you may aswell just buy the international version online and save money.
The outright price is ridiculous as usual here.. 126,360y

It was released on Thursday the 26th of October, 2017. I picked mine up on the 27th from a DoCoMo store in the Moto Yawata area.
Here's the main page at DoCoMo.
And the DoCoMo 2017-2018 collection page.
Go and check it out. It's a beautiful phone. It's my first new phone in a long time. (I'm coming from a Note 2! Android has really come along nicely.) I also got the Samsung S View Cover from Yodabashi Camera in Ichikawa.
I had forgotten how good Yodabashi Camera is for phone accessories. At the time the DoCoMo store didn't have any Note 8 cases, and my nearest Yamada Denki only had a few. Yodabashi Camera has loads of Note 8 cases, but they keep the Samsung branded ones behind the counter.
Edit: Just saw you updated your post. Yes, I couldn't buy the phone outright. I have a regular 24 month contract and expect to pay in the region of possibly Y11,000 a month for everything. That's including 5Gig data, etc. which is enough for me. My Note 2 was pretty much the same per month at the time.

I use line mobile.
I pay 2,790y/m for 5gb calling and text.
I could probably drop down to 2gb and pay even less. Data used with certain apps like Line doesn't count to your data.
You might get slightly better signal using a Japan model but very slight.

Hello,
I have been overseas for the last month for my wedding, and I have to wait until monday to get back home to get an S6 edge plus. I have been looking and can't seem to find a 64GB variant for verizon, other than on Samsung's website. (here and here)
I wanted the silver variant, but verizon doesn't offer it. So I will either go gold or black, not sure yet, but I am appalled that not only is there not a 128GB version (how am I supposed to cope with losing my 128GB microsd!) and now I can't even find a 64GB model!
If anyone out there can confirm they have seen the 64GB model, please let me know.
Hell I might even wait for a 128gb model to show up, but I doubt that will be soon. If I can't even get the S6 edge + in 64gb, I will get the Note 5 instead.
Any info would be greatly appreciated!
So far, Verizon is only offering the 64GB version of the S6 edge+ in black. The other Verizon S6 edge+ option for people who want any color other than black is to settle for 32GB. Then you can get the gold variety.
Both my Verizon store & Best Buy have the 64GB in stock.
I got mine at Verizon online. Local stores only had 32g in Stock. But vzw online had black and gold 64g version for me. I chose black simply because I figured it wouldn't show dirt/smudges /scuffs as bad.

While the VZW site showed the 64gb in gold you can't add to the shopping cart.

I have the 64Gb verizon variant in black, bought it online from verizon last week, had it 36 hours after ordering. The black is more blue than black, which is nicer IMO. I agree that it sucks to lose the sd card, but 64gb is probably enough, unless I needed to store all my porn on there.
"only in black"... Grrrr! My girlfriend works at a Cellular plus store and she got me talked into upgrading into a S6 Edge+, even though I would prefer to get something that is NOT Samsung, even though as far as it stacks up, its definitely one of the better phones out. I wasn't to fond of the "black sapphire" and wanted the white, but she tells me that it's only in Black. I responded "That's nonsense , why would a company do that?!?!?!?" Well it turns out that you actually can't get the 64 in white, which is SUPER disappointing for me. So i was forced to get my Note Pro in Black as well so they would match... :crying::crying::crying:
This is just me pretty much throwing a fit I guess, but I mean REALLY Verizon?!

I literally mean all US carriers carry only black or gold. While international people get the good sh** Like my beloved xperia line, I would take the xperia z5 premium over the s6 edge + in a heartbeat, well maybe, because the only thing i like about the edge is the edge because it has the edge in aesthetics >_>
Hello my fellow Aussies,
This thread is an open discussion from the day you've ordered your Note 7!
Feel free to share ideas like roms, tips, accessories, past & current experiences etc.
Having created a thread like this for my Galaxy S6 it was a great place for information, ecspecially for software/carrier updates.
I'll start off by saying that I'm very excited to owning my first Galaxy Note. Reason for changing to the Note is the awesome design, bigger screen & battery life, which was terrible on the S6. I've pre-ordered it in black, because once you go black your gonna need a wheel chair (White Chick's movie joke) ??
And also ordered the Spigen neo hybrid crystal clear case.
Hi, great idea!
All threads i read are US based....mainly.
I have ordered my Black note 7 direct through Samsung online, so at the moment due to arrive 19th. I wish it would ship early....but highly doubt it.
I have also ordered genuine Samsung screen protector and a clear case. Not sure if i will like the case, had one on my Note 5, and didn't like the feel in hand.
Has anyone seen an OUTRIGHT pre-order deal that has the gear fit 2?

I was in two minds about colour. My Note 5 I got in Silver, for something diffferent. I like i, but i dont like how prominest marks are, i have a clear film cover on the back and any scratches/marks show up a lot. This time i have opted for the Black on the Note 7
just pre-ordered mine from Telstra with the SD card, I decided to get the black one. It is a thing of beauty.
Sadly still need to wait 9 more days
Fingers are crossed for early shipping!!
I eagerly awaiting June 19th.
I pre-ordered a black one on Sunday and they that I would get a case and screen protector besides 256GB SD-Card.
I also got a SGP Neo Hybrid Gunmetal case 5 days ago.

Sweet thanks man ?
I initially ordered one from buymobile then read some reviews on them and went into panic mode and cancelled the order. It was $200 cheaper than Samsung and Hardley Normal but no MicroSD deal so I cancelled it pretty much straight away. I want warranty with this phone and I think with the outright buy price it's worth having warranty although I never needed it with my international Note 4 I got through yatango. Never needed it on any handsets, touch wood.
I then went to the Samsung site and black onyx was sold out so I ordered one from Harvey Norman. 8 or 9 days left but not counting. Much. lol
Have ordered a UAG cover in black for the 7. I've had them on my last two Samsungs and they are brilliant cases, a little bulky but saved me a few times with a few drops, pretty good asset if you ask me.''Really interested in what model of handset we will get, starting to think it's the end of ROMs for me but you never know and that's why I'm still here.
I have to admit that I was extremely disappointed that Samsung Australia opted not to bring the Coral Blue color and for me this was a deal breaker, after waiting so long to replace my Note Edge and eagerly reading every single leak from eveleaks and onleaks and looking at the beautiful blue color that was rendered by eveleaks and was voted as the most popular color in a poll that was done by Ausdroid and they decide not to bring it....for once you could choose a different color than the usual boring silver/black/atrocious gold and they opted not to bring it grrrrrr!!!! damn you Samsung Australia!!!! I was ready to forgive for not having 6gb of RAM and 4000mAh battery as was leaked heavily months before the launch but not to bring the blue color was the deal breaker, you've stuffed it up S.A!!!
4000 megahertz battery huh? That's a pretty high frequency.

Wow, Black sold out on the AUS Samsung site? Glad i got in early there.
Same as you, on my internations Note 5 that i got online, they did have a warranty, but never had to use it. I looked at buying the note 7 from the same international supplier, but it was only $200 cheaper and i though to myself if anything does go wrong, i can go straight back to Samsung without any huge issues.
Do we know if the 930G is the Australian specific model?
I checked all pre-orders available... No freaking black anywhere in Canada?!? Lilac and grey only??? Did I miss something here?
Who the hell does that Samsung....... :silly:
That's messed up. I personally would of gone grey but black will do for me at least here in the states.
Yup. I wanted the grey one so it turned out perfect but more color options would have been nice. As far as why Samsung? They've always treated Canada like a 3rd world country tbh. It terms of revenue we sort of are. We're more or less Apple country if you look at the numbers. That's why they stopped giving us the Exynos variant after the s7. Why ship different variants to the same continent. We just don't buy enough to matter. Why bother giving us the color that sells the most...
if you want the black colour for s9, you can get it from pdaplaza.ca ...the have it in black but the price is about 100 more, but the internal memory is 128gb, unlike the standard 64g...who knows, maybe samsung will release the black colour after the preorder phase........i know, its so stupid how samsung wont offer standard black colour........
I emailed Samsung about this also. One issue is warranty. If you buy from the USA (they have midnight black), then good luck getting warranty if you are in Canada. I sure hope Samsung makes the black version available to Canada - soon.
Samsung doesn't treat the USA any better... Yes - we get three colors. But where is 128GB or 256GB options for the USA?!?! And no preorder bonus gifts? Come on Sammy! You can do better!

I agree we are a small market by any metric, but wouldn't black make a hell of a lot more sense? It's neutral, common and easy to sell off IMO. That being said, I thought I saw the S9 was going back to Exynos for W8..? Did I goof up? If not then my decision is getting easier.

Like I said above, thought I read W8 was going back to Exynos, so US models would have SD. But you're bang on about the warranty; I've had a Duos S6 and it went kaput, never got any kind of support from Sam, which is totally messed up, against most Consumer Protection Acts in the Country and is just horrible business. Look at how easy it is to get Apple to cover their devices...

You get $150 off if you trade in any junk phone, its something. The s9 is $810 after trade in, when was the last time a galaxy phone was this cheap?
Yeap I've been pissed off about this since the announcement.. I messaged Samsung Canada on Facebook just *****ing about it and the reply I got about 10 days later (so just a couple days ago) was: "Don't worry. You'll get your black"... So I don't know wtf that means I messaged back saying I hope that doesn't mean in 6 months when they need a sales boost bcuz I'll just wait for the S10 if that's the case and I got no response after that, which I bet that's what they meant bcuz that's the kinda **** Samsung pulls... I've also been tweeting Samsung Canada and Samsung Mobile about this repeatedly. Such BS. Whoever's idea this was should be fired or punched in face, one or the other.
Who's hyped and ready for the 10th anniversary Galaxy S phone? Let's talk about it. Whether you pre-ordered from Robelus Samsung or abroad because Exynos is more your thing. Let's share and compare.
I first went with the Ceramic black s10+ 12GB/1tb variant but dialed the crazy down to the 8GB/512gb variant because, who needs 12GBs of Ram? Well not me that's for sure. Pre-ordered from Telus on Feb 20th how about you guys?
I ordered the same model as you from Samsung. They said my device would ship March 5th. What is Telus telling customers?
i wanted the 12GB/1TB version but Rogers are not doing it, all other Canadian Carriers have it except Rogers, so i went with the 8GB/512GB ceramic black.
do we in Canada will get locked trash version again ?
I just ordered with pdaplaza from québec a s10 plus SM-G975F dual sim (1400$ with tx). they assured me that it has the exymos processor (because I want to root it because since Nexus 4, I can't live without Viper4android). it will run with Fizz, the new cell provider (as my s8+ since a few weeks).
As everybody I'm just waiting for it now to be delivered in Montréal (expected in the next few weeks).

They always say that it will ship on release day. It usually ships between midnight and 2am and I've always received my phones on the first day.

also i see t-booth and wireless wave have the trade in deal so you get $300 trade in long as device is worth $25 trade value , but it also mentions a top up to $500 . i tried calling but they don't have all the details on this yet.. so i curious if anyone else knows...
Im still on the fence...that oval hole in the screen is just something i dont know if i can stand.
Everything else looks killer on it.
Going with the S10 in black from the online Samsung store. That $200 credit is pretty sweet.

I wanted the Ceramic White which was with 512. Was the lowest I can select for 1299.99.
Luck for me on the 1st launch, trading my note8 and getting a credit of 550. That's why I chose the deal. 699 plus tax at samsung website, tmobile was lower,
Yesterday noticed samsung dropped all the prices, now the Note 8 is 225.
Lucky for me.

Whoa! The only reason I didn't go with that one is because I'll probably sell it to get the Note 10 and Samsungs don't hold their value like iPhones do. I'd lose way too much money on the resale. Enjoy it!

Any advice on what deal slash plan to hit up. I've always stayed with the big three but with all these other sub carriers, I can`t figure out what to do if I were to get in on this. Im in Alberta, currently with Bell and my S8 term is about to end. She`s in mint condition and im trying to find the max trade in plus a plan with at least 5 gigs of data and like 100 bucks per month or less.
Traded in an old iPhone my girlfriend had lying around and picked up the 128 model from Samsung directly, was happy they had Prism Blue available, it's a nice change from constantly having a black phone. Samsung says it ships on March 5th, so fingers cross it comes in a bit early - do they ship via Canada Post?

Traded in an old iPhone my girlfriend had lying around and picked up the 128 model from Samsung directly, was happy they had Prism Blue available, it's a nice change from constantly having a black phone.

Which configuration did you order?
Sent from my SM-N960W using XDA Labs
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..

Really that's surprising considering people were making a huge deal about the price and crease issue.
what about unlock status? i want to buy one, but which is unlocked?

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!
