Assuming nothing bad happens over the next few weeks, I’d say the 29th of November is the big day. Can you patiently wait a month?
Verizon Targets November 29 as Launch Day for Galaxy Note 2
- Thread starter pampangakid
- Start date
Uh, Best Buy is already selling a Verizon Note 2 in some places.
We can be patient, but we'd also like it sooner. Anybody does since Verizon is Effing us over with it.
Has this been confirmed? I read that some Bestbuys have them on display. I called my local Bestbuy and they did not have them in stock.
I think everyone on this board is aware of the release date.
Best Buy isn't selling them, that is the demo unit.
AT&T's note was released on the 9th or 11th I forget, but the demo unit was in-store on the 3rd.
It could've been someone just putting out the unit way too early or for BF so people can see it. Hopefully it will be out before that, but so far all signs from VZW have been pointing to no.

That says new customer 2 year act. Nothing about pre order.
Definitely looks like they are selling it.
Nobody has confirmed it.
Could've been the wrong ad put out early.
And I believe this happened to the AT&T note too at some places, but it was only for preorder. This seems like the right time for preorder anyways.
Sure looks like it, but dont say they are selling it when no one has confirmed it. Even droid central beat around the bush basically avoiding the words available at best buy now
I wonder if Verizon will delay the Note 2 even more, seeing as how the DROID DNA is coming out the 21st...
I honestly doubt they will delay the Note 2's launch for that reason. I believe this because they have more than likely already delayed the Note 2 for the DNA.
29th
I called a non-corporate store yesterday and they said they didn't have a release day. They called back today and said they just recieved a call from verizon that the official release day is the 29th.

Verizon may have the best speeds, but overall, a pain in the ass.
What he said. Maybe the best LTE network but in terms of high end phones locked/encrypted bootloaders, and delayed releases, bid red does not rate highly for those items.
VZW, never early, but always on-time. It seems like those original documents that surfaced about the N2 launch were correct.
That sucks, on the plus side only ten more days. I woud've liked to have it over thanksgiving break.
Yeah, considering the other carrier Note 2s shipped without the muliti-window feature, I'm guessing those carriers pushed for it to be released early - trying to be the first to get it.
Also, I used to have Alltel and it wasn't that they were late with phones, it was that they never got many good phones at all. Also, there were 2 people in an Alltel store at a time max, often 1. My area is so populated that the main road has 4 lanes each direction so yeah... it was a good 2 hours or easily more waiting since most people were asking about plans and then phones having not done any research first.
It would be nice to have it by Black Friday, but no such luck. A week until ths shipping starts.
I don't know? Since the KR version had this at the beginning and the Eu version didn't. I don't know why this is, but I don't think it is carrier specifc, but rather Samsung. So I wouldn't say it is carrier specific pushing for an early release date - as MW is available now and it isn't like we are getting JB 4.1.2, rather, this is the way it was supposed to go down on all carriers.
However, I do know VZW usually does extensive testing on their products before-hand. Still though, the biggest carrier in the USA shouldn't be getting phones last.
26th
Just an update guys. I called VZW Corporate and the lady I spoke to said my order should ship BY the 26th if that helps any. Who knows at this point

I think people are using the words "ship" interchangeably. For some, the mean get all the devices into Fedex's system and for others it means that the phones are on Fedex's trucks. I have been told by 7 different agents (over the phone) that the devices is supposed to exit the pre-order system on the 25th. Assuming it does so, then I predict the next day (26th) Verizon would be talking to Fedex and generating labels. Then (27th) I would expect the devices to be on the trucks and on the road to the different distribution centers.
I can confirm this as well. When I have talked to reps who seem competent, they say the average ship time is three days from the warehouses to your doorstep. 1 day to get everything on the trucks and 2 days for shipping - makes sense it takes an additional one day for making labels for these/boxing as well. so 4 days seems very reasonable.
