Also, please be aware there is a mis-print showing the device has Android version 4.4.

I ordered one
I was a little on the fence about getting the Mate 2 because I have preordered the Samsung Note 4 (the pen, 4K video, high rez screen, etc) plus I was hoping to get the Mate 7 but with all the confusion about frequencies and availability and Fry's lower price I figured I would take a chance. I was torn between the white and black one, the black one seems to have better back side gripability but I went with white because it looks a bit more cool and "happier."

Prime Canadian Pre order thread

Fellow Canadians!
Other than best buy, futureshop and Staples, are there any other pre order sites?
I have a champagne transformer pre ordered from staples, as they were the only local retailer that had that color code for pre-order, however I noticed that they have pulled that sku from their website entirely. Not sure what that means but when I called Staples to find out they said that it was a possibility that only a certain number of that color code were available.
I did ask about estimated shipping and the rep had told me it is still slated of the week of Dec 12. So hopefully everything goes through without a hitch.
Has anyone else had this issue at all?
The only two other two places I know you can preorder is ncix.com and memoryexpress.com. Both of those places have the champagne version as well which is why I ordered mine from memory express.
I am just hoping mine gets in before the 21st because I ordered mine in calgary and won't be flying there until the 21st (figured I would save some taxes and not ruin my finals studying with a new toy!).
My last email from Best Buy Canada said the release date was Dec 5, but other than that, no word. I wonder if we are really getting it early here in Canada vs. the US.
Is it just me or are there NO 64gb pre-orders anywhere in Canada? Best Buy, Future Shop, Staples, ect. No one has a 64gb up for pre-order! I'd rather pick it up than get it shipped, btw.

Memory express and NCIX have 64gig versions. Although the fact those other big guys don't have it doesn't leave me with confidence that those two will actually be getting them at the same time as the 32gig versions. I am even a bit scared my champagne unit will be late as well since its just those 2 that have it.
Memory Express had 64GB TFs available for preorder in both grey and gold, last time I checked.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium
Would have like to have ordered from Futureshop but they don't deliver in Quebec because of language laws so I ordered from NCIX. I ordered the original TF from them and got it the second week it came out. Another bonus is I only pay GST and shipping is fairly reasonable. I also ordered from Amazon.ca but I have a feeling I wont get it this month. I'll be canceling the other order once the first one comes in.
Sorry if this is already known but I just got a call from MemoryExpress in Edmonton, AB to change my pre-order because they claim to have received an e-mail from ASUS Canada stating that the only model available in Canada will be the 32GB Amethyst Gray. I asked for confirmation that that would mean NO 64GB and NO gold colour whatsoever and the sales associate said that is what the e-mail said. I asked about any release date info and they said the tablet would arrive in "the next couple weeks" but the dock would be "3-4 weeks away." Take that with a grain of salt though as I don't believe the release date info came directly from ASUS.

dang. I emailed them to ask about it and they emailed back saying they have some info and if I could call them which I figure is bad news. I had an order for champagne gold and mentioned in this thread how I was worried it wouldn't be coming. I gave them my number so we will see if they call me and what they say.
I just pre ordered mine from Amazon.ca says Dec 16th
Well memory express called and said that the only unit they will be getting in is the 32gig grey and the dock. Said that asus said they guess that the champagne gold version will be released sometime in February. Pretty disappointed as I was really starting to like the look of the gold! Ah well as long as they actually get them in around christmas!
Appreciated that they took the time to call me about the order though, the guy at memory express was nice and explained how pissed they were at asus.
I just did NCIX in Vancouver.. no date.. but better then Amazon.ca dating it AFTER jan 31st...
BestBuy Canada Release Date
BB Canada is showing my pre-order with a December 22nd release date.
Asus 10.1" 32GB Eee Pad Transformer Prime Tablet With Wi-Fi
Item Status: Pre-Order
Release Date: 12/22/2011
In the GTA here... Online shows bestbuy, staples and even futureshop not having any stock!
First off I really would have liked to buy it in store instead of online. Do you think there is a chance that any store would have this available before Xmas (in store that is)?
"So what you want me do 'bout that?"
Yeah mine is all over the place too:
Shipment 1
Scheduled forGround Delivery
Estimated Arrival: 11/26-12/09/2011
Asus 10.1" 32GB Eee Pad Transformer Prime Tablet With Wi-Fi
Item Status: Pre-Order
Release Date: 12/22/2011
Weird.. who knows.. I lost my amazon order so I just would like to get one. haha
Anyone know when it will be available in stores?
December or January stick with thos months and you will be fine
No 64GB... This just sucks. No wonder Best Buy wasn't getting back to me on when they'd be getting that model. REALLY disappointed.
My future shop order has changed from release date on the 5th of December to the 22nd of December today. Was anyone else able to choose any other shipping method other than regular old ground? doesn't look too promising to get it before christmas.

ATT Order Still in Processing

You ordered a color, didn't you. I did red and it took 7 days to ship. I heard yellows and cyans are 14 days or more to ship.
What was/is bad about AT&T, once in process, you can't cancel.
Good luck.

It depends on the rep if you can cancel. When it is shipped, you cannot. I pre-ordered a Charging Stand as well and when I got my phone (which was a Yellow that I ordered on Nov 7 and was in my hands on Nov 16th) I saw they had one in stock, so I had them cancel my order and picked it up in the store. I would have done it with the pad as well, but they did not have any. I found out later the reason mine didn't ship until the 14th is that only the Black, White and Red were released on the 9th, with the Cyan coming next (can't remember the date) and the Yellow was not release until the 14th which is when my yellow one shipped.
Hope this helps.
Ouch! I ordered Cyan. Guess it'll be here 2013.
I ordered black and my is still in "preorder processing". I guess it'll be here next year or never. Actually, I gave up and went and bought my black Lumia 920 at the local AT&T store. They also ordered my free charging plate. The whole preorder thing was a complete debacle especially if you are on the Premier side of AT&T.
Amazon has the Lumia 920 for $49 and rumors of a 99¢ Black Friday sale. They are backordered too, but I have more faith that my order won't fall into cyberspace and never get shipped. Ironically enough, I was able to order a second Lumia 920 through AT&T Premier system for the discounted price. I'll wait and see if they ever ship them.

Called ATT's enterprise at 800-999-5445 and it shipped today!

Who got their order in?

Right now, if you're a current T-Mobile customer, you can order the S6 Edge! I just got my order in. Too bad they didn't have the green or gold version. Just White and Black .
I really wanted green too. Got Black Sapphire instead.

Pre-ordered from T-Mobile yesterday morning, black 64gb. Just got shipping notification and expected to deliver 4/2. A bit surprised it'll be here much earlier than the anticipated official release of 4/10.

T-Mobile is great about getting the phones out before the advertised date of release....I remember getting my Note 4 a week earlier than the release date.
Very excited! This S6 Edge community is going to be awesome and very dynamic.... this is just the beginning
Congrats to all the fellow soon to be S6 Edge owners! There's no better feeling than to have the best and fastest device available to date.... :highfive:

General (CANADA) Galaxy S23 Ultra pre-order, offers etc. discussion thread.

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.
Thanks
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.

General UK Pre Orders - Galaxy S23 Ultra

So who has Pre-Ordered one?
I have ordered the 512Gb Ultra in Red.
Hopefully I have it in my hands on Monday 13th February. Pre 10:30am DPD.
Really looking forward to having a Snapdragon in a 'Note' finally.
So what you getting?
Yes, green from 3 arriving by the 13th also
Yep - 13th and ordered the Grey 512GB
Also ordered their screen protector since they're about similar price to 3rd party
Ordered a Ptaka Aramid case too so the colour is kinda irrelevent -- i like the aramid cases
Green and due on 13th. Cancel order button now gone but still processing. Hope its not the same as last year when my date past and kept moving. Ended up cancelling from samsung and got one from elswhere next dsy
Got the s23+ 512gb
Used a referral code to get 10% off to bring it down to £944 and then some weird hack of adding a £34 USB flash drive brought the price down instead of up. Ended up coming to £850. Also went via topcashback and an extra £43 quid has tracked. All in all £807. Not bad!
Phantom Black Ultra, 512gb, £410 trade in for my S21 Ultra and £150 discount for another reason i'm not sure of also £42 via topcashback, so total cost of device £797, Not too shabby for the Ultra delivery on 13th hopefully. Edit: £15 topcashback bonus as first purchase over 15 quid, so device total is now £782
The guy on the phone at EE said I should have it Monday or Tuesday. Is this true or was he just giving the usual spiel?

The £150 was to give us the 512GB for the same price as the 256GB variant.
I went for the Watch 5 Pro as the 10% additional discount, refferal code and £100 trade in for any smart watch in any condition made for massive savings
No idea what is going on with delivery dates.... Just looked on Samsung website and added a pre order phantom black ultra and it states delivery 7th feb?
Anyone can DM me a referral code? Wanna buy my other half a watch but i missed the pop-up when i ordered

Any one noticed that prices droped ? I bought mine s23u on 1st feb at 8pm and price for s23u 1tb was 1599f and today i see price for the same phone is 1399f They sent to me an email that if i find same phone cheaper, they will refound me difference. Sami have such special website samsung.com.uk price-promise but when i try to claim my purchase there is form to fill and no such phone in drop menu so i can't go next step. Strange.
Annoying how I ordered yday and the earliest delivery was 13th Feb. Now it says 7th Feb if you were to place an order now.

Those shipping dates are almost always BS. They are estimates and you will usually get your phone before those estimates. But if you cancel thinking your gonna get it earlier your just going to the back of the line and then all bets are off.
Out of interest, I added the flash drive to get a further discount. What happens if you try to return just the flash drive? Do you have to pay them money lol?
