Agreed, I had misgivings about the S Pen not being flush with the back like it is on the Note 2, but it actually doesn't look as bad as I thought it did. I did, however, tried pulling the S Pen out and putting it back in several times and it's nowhere near as smooth as the Note 2. It's like the housing for the S Pen needs to be worn in or something (at least that's what I hope) for it to go in and come out smoother. And despite the new design, it was harder for me to get a grip on the Pen to pull it out (even with my finger nails) than the one on the Note 2. I'm not happy about that at all. I have my fingers crossed that Samsung will offer a different Pen for the Note 3 but I know that's unlikely.

True.
I tried but no one wants them locally. I don't want the hassle of going thru the Internet.

That is correct the Note 3 won't be on sale in store until this Friday Oct. 4. I'll be attending a Samsung/AT&T release party tonight and try to get some more info on the phone and gear.
See, this is all still confusing. I just called the main corporate store for my area and the guy said either the 1st or 15th. I laughed at him. I called two more stores, they both said the 1st. I"m also hearing the 3rd and 4th, and 5th still.
All of the stores in my Area are saying the 1st with one saying the 4th but that store wasn't too sure. How can none of these stores have any clue? If Samsung wants to be competitive with Apple in the states they're going to have to get MUCH better at communicating their releases with the carries, and the public.

For the love of God, please find out the actual in store release date. I just wanna know and keep getting all kinds of dates given. Why is there no consistency here?
I've had two corporate stores tell me pre-orders ship the 1st and the phone goes on sale in-store on the 4th. It only makes sense they'd ship pre-orders first so the Oct 4th date sounds correct.
Most of the time I see major high-end phone being on sale in store on Fridays. Pr-orders being shipped out on a Tuesday and Wednesday makes sense to me as well.

AT&T released the S4 on a Sunday if I'm not mistaken. I remember the S3 having these types of problems upon release. No one could give me a definite release date until I ordered with AT&T, and got it 3 days later.

See, this is what I am talking about. I mean this phone is supposed to come out this week, but AT&T stores still don't know when they will get it in stores for sale???? Is this how all Android releases go? I really don't know being I am coming from evil Apple.

No, it's not restricted to Android devices. My favorite was the Lumia 900 (and the HTC 8X, IIRC) being released on Easter Sunday in 2012. Stores were closed that day. Add to it that that was also the first day that AT&T allowed people to request unlock codes for iPhones; even calling in for a Lumia 900 order would have been difficult that day.
I got my Galaxy S III by pre-ordering in the AT&T store for it to ship to the store. Even when my phone came in, they still didn't know what the release date would be. If I remember correctly, it was released the next day.
I tweeted @SamsungMobileUS who actually follows me about the release on AT&T, and didn't even get a response. Something weird is going on with this release. The AT&T store closest to me says the 1st, so we'll see what happens on Tuesday.
Samsung and AT&T release party in Austin,TX had the Note 3 and Galaxy Gear for hands on experience. Samsung reps where there to explain and answer any questions about the phone and gear which I already knew most of...my obsession made me know them.lol Anyway, the most important question that I wanted and most of you all want to know is when it's available.....
The phone will be on sale in stores Oct. 4 Friday pre-orders will go out Oct 1-2 should take two to three days delivered. Here are some photos taken at this event....enjoy!!
