Looks like what others have been saying is true, that we'd get them very soon even with the government stepping in. This is good news. Now maybe things can mostly start getting back to normal. Ready for this to be over personally.

Yeah, I can't wait to get my replacement so Note7 and I can finally get started on our future together

Samsung Galaxy Note 7 - NEW ZEALAND

Hi guys,
This thread belongs to any discussion from our ever growing community of Samsung users from NZ to celebrate the new SGN-7.
I had my prying eyes on this device since its launch on 3rd August at 3.30 am and was hell bent on getting it. Was a bit impatient though with all the wait of 16 days until it got released. Those days were spent mainly searching for a good pre-order plan from either of our popular network providers - which were quite tempting. I wanted a Blue Coral one to begin with but since it was limited to some regions in the globe (Pretty sad that our bottom island wasn't one of them!), I finally ended getting the premium Black Onyx.
Its beautifully carved and gives a good aesthetic feel in the hands. Everyone knows what it has in store but the first look is remarkable.
Waiting for your reviews!!!!
Did any of you guys got the recall pack?
I got mine last night. It had a complimentary Samsung J5, sim adapter, a form to fill in and a prepaid courier bag addressed to Samsung, Northcote. Last time when I spoke to a rep, she told me the new devices should be in within 3 weeks.
Boo!
Just picked up my replacement from Spark now. The J5 was ok, but this is way better. Happy again
Just a heads up for Spark customer waiting for replacement Note 7 , I just been to the LynnMall Newlynn branch tonight and found out that they now got on stock replacement Note7s although they are not selling it yet to new customer. The spark sale person can't tell me when it will be relaunched in NZ. Hopefully this will be happening in the next couple of weeks!

i got my replacement yesterday from Spark. rooted that *****, slapped TWRP on top and Flashed Dr Ketan Rom straight away, as one does running like a champ.
So, recalled again. What are you guys going to do?
Think I'm going back to the S7 edge
Yup recalled again, Note 7 discontinued for good. I exchanged mine for an iPhone 7 Plus yesterday. Dad went with an s7 edge. Sad story really.

Samsung Galaxy Note 7 to be cut off from all New Zealand carriers starting November 18th means means any of the smartphones that have not already been returned to Samsung or its distributors will no longer be able to be used to make calls, send texts or connect to mobile broadband.

Did you guys see this:
"The company teamed up with carriers in New Zealand to announce Friday that it will cut off access to wireless networks for customers still using their Galaxy Note 7 devices. Starting November 18, customers still using the Note 7 will no longer be able to connect to any New Zealand mobile network to make calls, use data or send SMS messages."

Sad news

Note 7 sales in Europe to resume by end of November

Europeans who have yet to buy the phablet will be able to do that in by late November, a Samsung official stated recently.
As much as I want to don't think I'll hold out that long. I can handle Oct but we will see I hope the reports are wrong
Me too cause i sold my S6 i thought to get it in september.But sempteber seems to be just for recall's and i hoped for a eary october release...
Now they say end of November wich is crazy cause im using a galaxy S4 wich i borrowed from a friend and its horrible compared to my S6 and i have to charge it like 5x a day and its wifi isnt working so end of November is a no go for me eather early October or im thinking of S7edge or One+3
It looks like your post is now possibly incorrect, it has now been confirmed that the release date for the Note 7 in the UK is October 28th, I imagine this would be the same for the other major economies of Europe. This tallies up too with the pre-order I made with Carphone Warehouse, they also stated 28th October a few days back.
Here is an article that is now reporting that Samsung have announced an official date for the UK, i expect more related articles will pop up shortly.
http://www.trustedreviews.com/news/samsung-galaxy-note-7-new-uk-release-date-exchange
Ye dates change every day Imo a lot of copy&paste journalism at the moment :/ Ant a lot of them write **** without proof. All those S7E burning up too, about that new N7 burning up in China... And now this EU release date. Anyway I preordered on AUG17 in EU and should get it on OCT4... if I'am not getting I'am going to user rights and suing the **** out of Samsung and my seller...
SAMMOBILE said 28 october
even so, 28 october is still damn far
probably voadafone, orange and others will take most of them and the leftovers will be available for the public

Link? Sales in Korea start October 1st. I'd expect sales in the U.S. to resume as soon as the initial exchanges are fulfilled - let's say the first or second week of October. End of November sounds kind of inaccurate for a market as important as the EU. Of the 2.5M phones "sold" a large portion never left the distribution channel. Meaning they were never opened and put in consumer's hands. Apparently Samsung's x-raying those phones to inspect their batteries and if good they'll be redistributed. I think mine's one of those because its build date was 9/7 in Korea and the box had been opened and resealed twice. If 1M of the unopened recalled phones can be determined safe and put back in the retail channel than getting inventory on the market should be fairly quick.

Samsung says all preorders will get their phone by September 14th

I hate to start another waiting room thread, but I stumbled across a few articles wherein Samsung commits to every preorder being delivered by 9/14. Here's one:
http://bgr.com/2017/09/08/galaxy-note-8-preorders-sales-numbers-vs-galaxy-s8/
"Some customers who pre-ordered from Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, and Samsung.com have already received their devices, and Samsung has said that any customers who order a Note 8 from Samsung.com today will receive it on or before September 14th — still a day before it’s scheduled to show up in stores."
A different article stated that Samsung is doing this to deflate the upcoming I-Phone release. Anyone have any thoughts on this? With all the late september/early october shipping estimates that we got when we ordered (I ordered unlocked under the note 7 promo last week, got an October 1st shipping estimate), is it possible that they will all be delivered this week?
Dud I also got the Oct 1 date for the unlocked version, I would call Samsung if you can't wait.
I never said I can't wait... did I?
Just a recent news story to provoke thoughtful discussion on a somewhat hot forum topic.
I don't know, doesn't seem to be any logic or reason behind Samsung shipping phones. Some people ordered last Friday and got the phones yesterday or today. Some like myself ordered on the 24th and still have nothing. Would like to believe it, but I will be surprised at this point If I get my phone this week. Samsung already failed to live up to its promises made to me, so I don't have much faith in them.

Unlocked Note 8
Ordered Samsung.com 8/24
Delivered 9/7
I wish that I ordered from Samsung or Verizon, instead of Best Buy. As of this morning, my phones are still sitting in preordered status. My card hasn't even been charged yet. No way that I'll have it by 9/15.

Cancel your order then go to a BB and get your phone there on 9/15? Or is the $150 off for orders before 9/15 only?

The $150 is only for preorders. That goes away on the 15th. That's the only reason that I did it that way.

Yeah, if it were me, I can wait a few days for $150
Or in my case... I can wait till the 14th..cause the note 8 only cost $525...

Yup. My Note 4 is still holding up. I can wait.
Just a bit jealous of all of the people who already have them. I know that this is how BB does things, though. Is what it is, I guess.
Looks like this was fud as well. 14th is here, and I doubt mine will show up. I now hopefully will get it before October. The 150 dollars in now going on week 3 of watching other people get thier phones. Doesn't help that Samsung customer lack of service has mislead me time and time again.

Deliveries delayed by 1 week

PhoneArena has reported that pre-ordered Note 10+ deliveries are being pushed back by one week. I went to check Samsung web page and it's true. Only the black Note is still on schedule for 23rd. I'm hoping that this is simply a demand-supply situation and those of us who have made the early bird reservations will get the phones as promised on 23rd. My pre-order email confirmation says 23rd no updates from Samsung whatsoever.

This is for people that just pre-ordering at the moment. If you pre-ordered early as you mentioned, then you should be fine. I remember when I pre-ordered S10, the story was the same, but since I ordered early, it arrived 2 days prior to the promised date. If I remember the date correctly, it was March 8 when the phone would be delivered, but Samsung shipped it on Monday, March 4th and I got it on the 6th. I am hoping for the same story with Note 10, where Samsung would ship the phones on the 19th and I would get it by 21st
That's right, I remember the hype related to S10, I was ordering, canceling and reordering again. Went from S10+ to S10(returned, couldn't stand the fp sensor) and settled down w/ S10e, great phone - just little bit to small for reading ebooks. Ended up getting it very late because of that. They(marketing people) know how to make people go crazy
Mine still says Aug 23rd. Hoping for an earlier arrival! I've been tempted to call Samsung to see if they could switch my phone order for another color, but have been nervous about screwing anything up and it gets here late.

Even if you call, Samsung may not do it and will tell you to "cancel and reorder". I wanted to make a simple change to my S10 pre-order back in March, but the rep told me the above
I pre-ordered mine from T-Mobile, Aura Glow 256gb Note10+ right when pre-orders opened. Still says estimated shipping is Aug 23. BTW why isn't there a mega thread for US models like there are for UK, Canada, etc?
Such an "Apple" thing to do. Hold back stock, then report there is such demand that devices are delayed in shipping. UGH
As of right now (Aug 14th,2019) Sprint shows only one delay and that's the 512gb Aura Black version of the note 10 + so, here's to hoping

US pre-orders shipping

I just got the shipping notice for my S6 pre-order I did from Samsung.com. Expected delivery Friday the 6th. I also ordered the keyboard cover, but that is still pending.
Kine says expected delivery by the 23rd. Im thinking of cancelling the order and getting the rose instead just to have it early LOL!
I had to wait for my $200 credit for preordering the Note 10+. Just got my credit today, and applied it toward my 256GB Mountain Grey Tab S6 order today. Which means mine won't ship until October 4th, but it was worth waiting for the $200 credit.
I just feel like samsung can NOT be this far behind on orders. I mean...they could be but i dont get it honestly. Hopefully the offer the ppl who preordered and were forced to wait something in return. The ONLY reason inordered from samsung.com was to use my credit for preordering the note 10 plus

What do you mean offer you something in return? They've already given us a credit from our Note 10 preorders (in my case it was $200), and they're giving us $90 off the keyboard case. As far as having to wait, we understood that risk when we decided to wait so long to preorder.
I'm as excited as anyone else to receive my Tab S6 and I certainly hope it ships early than expected, but I don't think I'm entitled to any compensation for having to wait a little longer. I believe the nearly $300 in savings I've already received was compensation enough.
You dont have to preorder to get 50% off the keyboard case. And im saying had i not preordered i could have literall walked into best buy and walked out with it on the very same day. Id also have it sooner had i preordered theough best buy or amazon or mostly anywhere else. Im not sure why the manufacturer is the one that the farthest behind on preorders. That makes 0 sense
