Does anyone have any details about this launch which I understand takes place on the 27 Oct?

Go to Clove.co.uk

Check oit Clove.co.uk, they've been accepting pre-orders since 10/13/11. The buzz WAS it's release date would be November 1 - but it looks like they've done a 360 and are now stating it release could be 11/17 as originally announced.

I pre-ordered cuz of the earlier release date, they've already charged my card:, and now I don't know a damn thing!

I'm so confused

I'm not sure what they are planning to do. Would be nice with a live stream. I would love to see it and see if they are saying anything about ICS update.

Interesting .... Glonass navigation. Navigation on Russian satellites. Wonder how accurate that is.

Has Clove contacted you and said the release date is now pushed back? The site says it is "TBC".

It seems Clove is now saying that the release date is now "early-mid November" which is very disappointing. However, according to their Blog, anyone who accepted an invitation to confirm their order on the basis of a release date of 1 Nov can get a refund. If the original 17 Nov proves to be the actual release date then I'm not sure it is worth asking for a refund and risk not getting delivery on the 17 November or even before Xmas because you will have lost your place in the queue.

Clove are saying it could be "early-mid November" so it could be earlier than 17 Nov.

Do you think there is going to be a huge demand for this phone? I figured the price alone would hurt its sales. I haven't even put a pre-order in yet, as I figured places would have plenty of stock. What are people's thoughts on availability??

 

[oka1]

Hmmmm ........
I thought it was released already..... I know a couple ppl have them already wonder how they did that both in U K

Either way Looking to get one as soon as possible......

 

[Sebring5]

It's looking like mid November possibly later. Touch Wiz has to be able to handle Ice Cream (rumor.)

 

[siamchen]

The release date still hasn't been confirmed. I have pre-ordered from expansys which says could be available on 28th. That's the next day of Samsung's 27th announcement.

Sent from my HD2 using XDA App

Third party vendors on the german amazon claim to already have it in stock. However my "original" amazon will be delivered in "1 to 3 weeks".

Hm, I was thinking that too - in about a month this device will sell at least 20% below release date prices. By that time there would be reliable root and a decent Touchwiz ROM. An AOSP ICS ROM will also likely appear before the end of November.

Problem is, demand is going to pick up with the Christmas shopping madness, so prices will not be dropping as fast in December.

I will probably get myself one of tthese Notes towards the end of Jan. - the usual retail capitulation time of year. Will not pay over 400 euro for a smartphone - even 400 is ridiculous.

By that time I guess it's going to be clear if you guys early adopters like it.

I don't think the device will drop 20% in 2 month. I took a look at SGSII, the price is still high, dropped 100 EUR in a year. Note might not sell the same number of phones, so you might be right, but phones don't lose value until around 4-6 months.(Unless Samsung announce: NO ICS FOR NOTE ) aftar that you et it for free

It is not being sold by Amazon UK, but by a third party dealer called Soteluk who are located in Germany and who are quoting a delivery date of 3-18 business days, so not necessarily an earlier delivery than UK based retailers such as Clove.
