Just wondering how wide spread sales are for this phone? Is it available throughout the world?
The phone is available for sale here in the UK but there virtually no accessories for it yet. If that many had been sold wouldn't there already be cases and screen protectors available?
In the US it's being sold by Amazon and Bestbuy. It's not actually out in the US yet. I have one on pre-order from Amazon and just got an email giving me a delivery date of the end of October.
Amazon is now showing a Nokia branded case but shows a one to three month lead time. I'm keeping an eye on that as that may change once the phone is officially released. The only other cases I've seen are cheap and probably crap. I'm hoping a name brand case manufacturer releases something soon.
Best Buy in the US is showing as a non-preorder with delivery on 10/31 now. Stores won't get any until 11/4 and then only the blue version (when I want steel, of course). B&H is showing stock for the blue (steel still on pre-order), Amazon still no stock.

Amazon must have had some stock because mine has been shipped and is being delivered today. They must have used up all of their available stock on preorders. When I checked Amazon this morning it did say out of stock and now says "Available from these sellers. The link points to two third-party retailers.
Still no luck with cases though.

Did you get the blue? At one point they had the blue and steel up for pre-order but the steel went away for some reason. You'll have to let us know what you think of it!

Yes I did get the Blue. I should have it in a couple of hours or so as that's when the UPS guy normally comes through here.
I'll post back later today.
You can get it on B&H for free expedited delivery or earliest Bestbuy can ship to store is tuesday.

My Amazon "Pre Order" for the 64 gig version says releasing at the end of January early February. I have had this thing on pre-order since December and I am kind of getting tired of waiting.
Is there an actual brick and mortar store I can drive to that has this thing in stock anywhere? I don't care if its 32 or 64.
heres the link from bitly. im a new user so i cant put in an actual outside link but this is what comes after the '/' z5xLve
its a link to the bby website, you should be able to have it by next week!
I was waiting for the same thing, but I don't think it will happen soon. Not when companies are selling out online in under an hour (sometimes minutes). Sorry.
I finally heard about NowInStock.net and signed up to receive email alerts (I chose only stores that had brick&mortar in my city). It only took 2-3 days for something to be made available.
Also, remember that the longer you wait the fewer the hardware defects should be (except GPS of coarse ) so thats a happy thought. Good luck dude.

They didn't have docks when I was there a couple of days ago.
There is a thread about how to special order a Grey dock by walking into Best Buy. You should be able to get a dock within a few days. I did it and it worked like a charm.

Check Best Buy.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Asus+-+...d=4038674&st=asus transformer prime&cp=1&lp=3
You can check store availability for the Gray Model now.
Still not in stores, but, going into a solid day 2 of availability on Best Buy's website tells me the initial onslaught has slowed to a crawl and they should start to flow from the other sources (Amazon. Abe's, etc.) and perhaps start to show up in brick and mortars.
Before this I had not seen it available for more than a few hours at a time. Also, you can now go through the "proper" searches on their web site to find it "in stock" (i.e. computers>tablets>price>bingo!) where before you had to search specifically for it (almost "back channel" it).
Can't help but wonder if the known issues arising has slowed demand to this point or if this has occurred naturally.
BTW, mine is scheduled for delivery today by EOD. Yay!
You can check Google Product Search and Milo.com as well. Prime has been showing up in few local Best Buy stores as IN STOCK.
I ordered mine from OD on Wednesday and I tracked it. it's scheduled to be here on Monday. I called and ordered it. Also I called and they said they didn't have it. Then I called back to see when they'd have it and they had it. Then I called back with my payment information and they said they were out. Then I called back to see if I backordered it if the coupon would apply and they had it and now according to UPS it'll be here Monday. So perhaps it depends on the person you get. Oh yea the automated thingie said they were OOS as well but when it sent me to the CSR they had it. weird.
I really wanted a 64GB model but don't wanna wait, and 32GBmicrosd cards are cheap enough to make me order. best buy site says it can't be picked up but shipped to me. Should I just hold out for the 64GB model?
That's the real question, when are the 64GB models gonna start showing up I'm stores, not too picky on colors
When bestbuy says ships in 3-5 days, is that TRUE?
Best Buy
Best Buy should have the Grey 32 model still in stock, ordered one a week ago got it a few days ago. Unfortunately I had a dead pixel right in the middle of the screen so I had to exchange for a new one. I just called today and they are already sending me a new one so BB should have plenty in stock. Besides in a week everyone will start to have them in stock.

Well the issues are pretty minor to me. I don't quite care that the bootloader is locked. Asus is very sparing with the customization. Also I won't be using the tablet for GPS, since the only really useful GPS requires a 3G signal and my Galaxy Nexus handles that just fine.
This tablet is still top dog in my book and I am done waiting for others.

Anyone?
Not impressed that it's gone from being told on the phone that I'd have it today to it now showing as "Awaiting stock". If I'd known they were going to mess around like this I could have had one from any number of places by now.
Unlucky. Most things I order are delayed from them so I tend to get mine from elsewhere nowadays .
I do know that the blue ones have been delayed somewhat though .(not just for play) but it should arrive in the next week or so...
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Ordered blue from play, but obviously not shipped, same as everyone else.
I'll keep my order with play as they have the best deal, free case and screen protector.
Yes many times, they offer a good service.
I'm guessing you got the blue? (by "got" I mean pre-ordered) nobody is getting the blue yet, or at least a lot of people aren't. Samsung had to make 600,000 recalls due to a faulty back cover.
No, I'd ordered the white.
In the end I've given up and cancelled the order. Ordered one from CPW instead. I collect it from the shop after lunch today.
Just had another look on the Play.com website and they are now saying
Please note: We've been made aware of a delay from Samsung of the Marble White Galaxy SIII. We're expecting additional stock to arrive on 1st week in June. All Play.com pre-orders will be fulfilled on a first-come, first-served basis

Play.com delivering S3 via DPD
I got an email from saying S3 would be delivered on the 6th and a tracking link for DPD site. They also said in the email that I would also be able to see the delivery hour on the tracking site.
There was no tracking events this morning on the site and no 'Delivery Hour'
I rang play.com and they said they don't know why I was told it would be delivered today because of the 'bank holiday'.
They now say it will be delivered tomorrow, so I will have to arrange for someone to be in again tomorrow, and we all know how irritating that is.
I expressed my irritation to the play.com operative and told them to raise it with team leader.
S3 originally ordered 4th May and subsequently changed from Blue to White when delays were apparent.
I am looking to buy a Nexus 9 in a store on Monday after my Amazon Order got pushed back to December.
Anyone has an idea whether the likes of Argos, John Lewis, Currys/PC World will stock and sell the N9 on the 3rd November?
I thought amazon had revised their shipping dates again, to be delivered in november...

Have emailed all of the above, all I get in response is just keep checking the site's often or on release date, poor I know! Good luck hunting.
Let us know if you find anything, I haven't found anywhere that says they will, but there's always hope!
Argos have it listed but it seems it's only for delivery and it looks like the earliest delivery date is Thursday.
Same here - Amazon order delivery bounced to 20 December last night (Following an up date on Saturday that it was coming on the 4th November).
So ordered from Argos - Selected black and now have a confirmed date of tomorrow delivery - 3.95 shipping, however a £10 voucher .
I just tried to order one from Argos (32Gb White) and it showed out of stock at my local warehouse!
Tried to order from Argos this morning, got an email from PayPal to say payment had failed :/ tried again and PayPal payment is now pending but I've got no confirmation from Argos...
In store Argos told me they don't have any planned deliveries to my local store for the N9.
Currys, ever the sales people, evaded all I asked. Will try to pop down just before closing to find out if they've had any delivered.
I'm working tomorrow (Currys). We get delivery on Tuesdays. I'll check the Nexus 9 status for you guys
Sent from my SM-T700 using XDA Free mobile app
Well its now listed on Currys/PC World. Strangely they do not have 32gb in Black, just White 16/32gb and Black 16gb.
Currently use the code IPADTAB20 to take £20 off.
Just went through to see if you can collect tomorrow but the earliest you can select is Weds.
Just checked, it's not available in any stores to pick up / check out at the moment. But Currys/PC World have around 200 of each model in the main depo. Which means they should be coming into stores soon. Next delivery is on Thursday (hope it comes in!).
John Lewis has it too
http://www.johnlewis.com/search?Ntt=nexus+9&Nty=1&_requestid=18887898
If anyone wants to have a look. It's available to view and play about with in the Leyton and Enfield Currys/PC WORLD stores. Just went and fiddled about with it, wasn't that impressed

So do any of you guys know what's going on with the Preorder with amazon? For some reason it was delisted off the site yesterday.
I went looking for it this morning, given that it's now the 4th and noticed it is gone as well! There are some other bundles for $650 but they don't ship until July. What gives?!
Also, B&H still has the preorder but no date.
-Collin-
The b&h bundle use to say beginning of March for shipping but now they took that off also. Wow July that would be a huge delay. I think the only way we can find out is if amazon sent an email to anybody that pre-ordered.
I was looking this morning, too. I found them from other sellers at varying rates. http://www.amazon.com/LG-Unlocked-P...psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=od_aui_detailpages00

Now the silver one disappeared
I can't speak to the pre-orders for the USA. But here in Spain the device goes and comes. There was the pre-order for 700 with the battery pack and camera module. Now it's only the camera module and it's shipping now for 640 euros. There were others with no add-ons for 560. I was going to get the one with no add-ons but they disappeared and sold out within a day. They had 10... Lol.

That's correct, but if you live outside of Europe, double-check the bands for compatibility on your carrier.
B&h just got the titan in Stock but the silver is coming on may 11. I think may 11 is when I'm gonna get my bundle because all the friends comes at the date also.
Here we go again!
I placed an order for a S23 Ultra 512gb in "Sunset Red", traded-in my S22 Ultra!
at Samsung.ca
Same here. Looking forward to the improved photo / video capabilities and the extra HP under the hood.
Same. Just traded in my s21 ultra they're giving me 800 discount for it I thought that was very decent for a 2 years old phone! And the free upgrade to the 512gb/12ram variant is a nice touch too (apparently the 256gb only has 8gb Ram?). Now hopefully they ship it a bit in advance
I got the red 1tb s23 ultra red variant with $50 off and apparently free galaxy buds 2 or some nonsense.. I have Anker noise canceling headset I bought in Tokyo at the Anker store on Black Friday.
Placed my order for the 512GB Graphite version . They gave me $487 for trading in my Note 10 (smaller regular version) and got the ear buds as well

That's not bad for a near 4 year old phone. Have a N10+ and Telus would only quote about $200 for mint condition, when even the s22U was first released.
Freedom "saves" around $647 on "trade up" and it looks like pretty much every mobile shop here rips people off for trade in value, even if you keep a 2 year upgrade cycle (Samsung appears to be much better in this regard, even for older devices).

You got hosed. Spending $1000 to more to upgrade to a minimal difference phone. Samsung probably offered you $600 lol
I also ordered the 512G version in Blue. They gave me $800 for my old Note S20 Ultra 5G.
I just cancelled my order. The $859 CDN trade-in for my S22 Ultra 1TB is way too low.
Update: Cancelled my cancellation. Irrational trumps rational once again.

Same. I was actually pretty impress with the trade in offer for a 2 plus year old phone. By the way did you try looking up your expected delivery date? Weirdly says starts shipping on 17th March. Do you reckon that's a glitch? I did order bunch of accessories for the phone. Does that have anything to do with that?
What seems to be the expected shipping date for the orders here gentlemen? I am somehow supposed to receive the phone and the accessories after 17th march. That's not what i pre-ordered for.
Mine still says shipping from Feb 8 but if you selected one of the online exclusive colors I had noticed some shipping dates were later. And I remember when I preordered my s21 ultra it shipped a few days later because they were waiting on one of the accessories.
Do a live chat with them they should be able to tell you which item is causing the delay and if it's an accessory you can most likely ask them to remove it from the order.
I saw if you ordered one of the specialty colors it said it would ship in 5-6 weeks. I didn't notice it when I ordered and I did order a specialty color.

Yeah turns out it was the exclusive color as well some accessories. I am trying to reconnect to live chat but the waiting times are hella long. Hopefully i can cancel the order and go for the cream color instead.

The shipping dates are just approximate. Most just say February 17th because that's when you officially can buy one from a retail store. From my experience with the S20U and S22U the Unlocked models usually come 2-3 days earlier than when stores get them. Carrier Phones arrive even sooner as they get priority over Unlocked models. So take those delivery dates with a grain of salt as they are just estimates which are always later than when you actually will get them.
Here is something even weirder for this year. On the past two phones I ordered from Samsung they would bill me when I placed the order to make sure the funds were available. It would say pending and then after 2 to 3 days it would drop off my credit card and I would get the funds back and Samsung wouldn't bill me again till it shipped. Well that happened again this year and I got the funds back. But today it actually cleared pending and dates yesterday as a past and cleared purchase which I even got the 1.5% cashback on. They never give me the Cashback until the sale is actually completed So that most likely means I'll be getting a notification soon that it shipped. Could Sammy be shipping earlier this year?
So like I said take those delivery dates with a grain of salt. Some people have gotten theirs already in Europe. The custom colors are getting a limited run and not surprised to see those pushed back till March.

Okay so i am talking to an agent right now and he recommended the same thing to not cancel the order. It might just arrive earlier than anticipated. What i am worried about is the two accessories that i ordered (screen guard and a silicon case), those two clearly has pre-order emblem on them and the agent did confirm i would get everything in a single package so little bit skeptical but lets hope for the best.

Just have patience you will get it eventually. If you cancel your just going to have to wait even longer especially if they ran out of the first batch of stock which would push new order dates back to late March. Seen that happen before and peeps always regret their impatience.
