I have been an admirer of the Note line for a long time (back to Note 2, shortly before Note 3 was released). I've been wanting to buy one for a long time and think I'll finally do so. Obviously, I can delay gratification since I've waited this long. So what is the upside of pre-ordering? The downside? DH is due to replace his phone in about 6 weeks, so that would be a good time for us both to go in and do so. I think I'm inclined to wait a while and hear some of the first reviews and learn more about the phone before purchase. It would also give me time to get a case and screen protector before purchase.
I am definitely leaning toward waiting, but I'm interested in hearing the pros and cons. Typically, if a person doesn't pre-order, does Samsung usually get the phones back in stock quickly so I won't be waiting three months for AT&T to get them back?
Also---I plan to buy the phone outright. Is there any advantage in ordering from Samsung directly, versus AT&T?
