Note 4 Will Verizon US Lag Months Behind Launch?

[pwscott]

When do you suspect we could see a Note 4 in Verizon Wireless stores in the USA? Will it be months after the 9/3 event or almost right away?

No more than a couple of weeks after the other carriers. They delayed the S4 release by about a month, but I believe they released the Note 3 and GS5 close to the others.

At least it will work for us Verizon customers.

Lets see last year the AT&T started taking pre-orders for the GN3 on 9-6-14 for a ship date of 10-1-14 AND Verizon announced on 9-6-14 and shipped on 10-10-14 so only 9 days later than AT&T but the Note 2 was not shipped until close to late November in 2012. So Hopefully Samsung is pushing the US carriers to release asap due to the new iphone coming out. I mean if they can announce and ship a phone simultaneously on a set of carriers (US in this case) on the same day why can't Samsung do it.

I'm really hoping for a same day launch. I think that is the reason the ads say "are you ready to note on 9/3/14?" Why would we need to be ready to note unless it was available that same day? I think that is also the reason for multiple events (Berlin, NY, and Beijing). I believe the M8 was announced and released on Verizon the same day, so I don't see why Samsung can't do it too. At least that's what I'm hoping.

Yes, I too am hoping for a same day release....hopefully they will have 32GB and 64GB versions at that time. I had to wait months for my 32GB SGS4 as I was just not willing to buy it with 16GB.

I believe the Note 4 will hit the market first. I also believe sane day launch could occur just like the M8.

God don't tease me with a same day release.

"Same Day! Same Day Same Day!" May be that will help. :-$

Re: Will Verizon US Lag Months Behind Launch?

IF, Samsung can do a same day or launch within a week of announcement that would be huge. They need to step up their announcement to launch windows given how quickly some other OEM's are doing it and they are not.

I never saw the big benefit of using wi-fi and carrier data simultaneously its a battery drain and why would you want to eat your data plan up unless you still have unlimited.

If you have a big file you need to nab it can be useful. It only kicks in on certain file sizes and you can change when.

Sprint and T-mobile I can see allowing it but I would bet you money that AT&T would and maybe verizon because they rob you blind with overage Fees lol

Gotcha, it just wasn't a draw for me on the S5 and I knew it would get killed. Samsung needs to flex some muscles and get the job done with these ***** carriers. Without their products, heck any of the OEM's products the carriers would be in big trouble.

I think it would be within a week or two of the other USA carriers
