With the Note 2 at the national hub there was no way
I could collect it today.

I'm going to go and see what the offer is in London tomorrow.
I may as well.

Mini mobiles meet?!

Teledude · 29 Sep 2012 at 13:31

Noooooo engineering works on my train line tomorrow and I'm not driving all the way to Stratford!

kona786 · 29 Sep 2012 at 13:34

does the note2 have a notification light? like the S3?

Nexus18 · 29 Sep 2012 at 13:34

I love that Samsung have taken a leaf out of HTC's book with regards to the camera/gallery editing features, especially slow motion recording! Such a good feature :cool:

Wonder why they can't use 720P HD recording though (same with the one series phones), is the hardware just not powerful enough for that res. with regards to keeping a constant 120FPS@720P?

Will the GS 3 be getting some of these software features?

It does indeed.
At 2:44, the notification LED can be seen flashing:

Awesome - cheers!

I still can't get over the fact that some of you guys who have phones arriving on Monday are getting on a train tomorrow to go and buy it a day early! ...I always thought that I was an impatient SOB, but this takes the biscuit!

Still, I guess it's refreshing to know that it isn't only Apple who can inspire such devotion to their products.

I'll be going to Westfield as well tomorrow to see what's going on. I'm only a 8 mile drive away.

spinstorm · 29 Sep 2012 at 15:02

Well to be fair if your getting the money back it's a no lose
scenario.

Although clearly if I had anything important to do I wouldn't be going!

I also put my note 2 on eBay that is on the way.

If I can make a profit ill sell it if not ill return it- depends on the cost tomorrow of course.

I called up Westfield Stratford, and the Samsung representative informed me that they will not be receiving 4G enabled Note II's.

I was wondering, is it actually worth getting it in 4G?

JellyBeanMan · 29 Sep 2012 at 15:35

I also called the Samsung store, the guy confirmed that they will only have the 16gb white 3G version tomorrow.

He also said he is pretty sure there will be a 4G version available pretty soon, he said they are waiting for EE to announce it.

As much as I want this phone now I will be waiting a little longer for a Grey one that works on EE's 4G.

Paul11 · 29 Sep 2012 at 16:12

they are white
they are 16gb
they are not 4G

if you want grey, wait
if you more than 16gb , wait
if you want 4G, wait

Ajavaid92 · 29 Sep 2012 at 17:07

This is absolutely ridiculous. I called up Samsung's store at Westfield again today to see if they had received any information from the Samsung management regarding the prices.

This is what the representative on the phone said:

"The Note II's will be selling for £569.00 sim-free."

I asked why they were going to be charging more than the online retailers even though Samsung stated that they would be doing a special promotional price, and this is what he had to say:

"I am not sure why the retailers are under-cutting the price. I'm sure when the Samsung management are made aware of the low prices being advertised by the retailers, they will be angry at these retailers."

:mad:

spinstorm · 29 Sep 2012 at 18:05

I think that isn't a price promotion.

I think that Samsung isn't stupid. It's bad PR to say
there is a price promotion when there isn't one.

I think, and I stress I'm speculating that there will be either a lower
Price tomorrow which is a special price just for tomorrow or
they will be giving away something with the phone.

Of course I could be wrong but I don't think
Samsung would make a big deal about the price if it
wasn't a special price.

Sounds like the employees at the Samsung store are not very well informed about the launch promo event, or the phone it's based around. We've already had one tell a member that the phone will be 4G, will work on EE, and that no other supplier will be selling them for a couple of weeks - which is absolute rubbish [link to post].

To suggest that "Samsung management" aren't aware of the price that their new product is selling for is just daft beyond reason.

That all sounds rather optimistic... As I've said, I wouldn't trust much of anything coming from the Samsung reps at this point, given the contradicting information we're getting, so until you see the price advertised, consider it "unknown". Still, it would surprise me very much if the price was lower than that offered by online retailers, however Samsung may describe the "special offer".

I can't imagine there will be much in the way of "giving things away with the phone". You may get (say) a free in-car charger, but that's about all you can hope for.
