CNET review with amazon link and potential US release month - Huawei Mediapad M3 Guides, News, & Discussion

https://www.cnet.com/products/huawei-mediapad-m3/review/
This review from CNET published on Oct 30th contains an Amazon link for the pre-order and a potential US release month of December.
Another interesting piece of information that caught my eye would be the LTE model paragraph where they said that the tablet works with various carriers as a phone while other LTE tablets (iPad mini 4 LTE) would not work with Google Fi. If this is the case, that would be a huge plus for those who can get unlimited data plans or pseudo unlimited plans either for cheap or for free (i.e. the Tmobile promotion of signing up for 3 lines and get the 4th for free that they did a while back).

Note Edge won't be available in the UK on launch

Received today by email From Clove Technology in the United Kingdom:
We have today received the unfortunate news that the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge is unlikely to launch in the UK.
If this is the case, we will not have official UK stock available to us. However, for those customers that are still interested in ordering, we will try to obtain non-UK stock.
More information is available in this blog post and we will continue to provide updates as the situation develops:
http://blog.clove.co.uk/2014/09/15/s...ble-uk-launch/
Better news though is that The Note 4 will be priced at £479.17 (£575 inc. VAT) which is nearly £100 cheaper than I expected, considering the Galaxy Alpha is priced higher.

There's no official date yet. Clove expecting stock around 10th of October but I suspect others may stock it earlier and Samsung usually have a special opening day or evening at their Store in London the day before launch.

On the Sprint Website it says pre-orders will start on the 26th. 1 month long pre-order. I figured Samsung would push this one out faster to compete with the Iphone. I know several people who are considering the iphone 6 as well as the Note 4. But if the iphone 6 becomes readily available before the Note 4 then they might just make their decision.
Personally im coming from a Note 2 so im ready for the upgrade anytime.
Pre ordered mine last night
Also ATT has it available on the edge program.
$0 down ($61 in taxes upfront) and $34 a month for 18 months.
That's the deal I took it with.
I'm trying to decide if I want to take the payment plan on Verizon or just pay for it outright. I guess it depends on the advantages. One way or another you're paying full price.
I am on ATT now, but I think $825 is a rip-off, that too with a locked bootloader. Considering the Verizon version is only $699, can I buy that one and use it on ATT network ?
Why is T-mobile version cheaper among all of others?

Verizon is the cheapest. ATT has theirs overpriced as their usual bait and switch tactics because they are offering $100 for a new line of service. This way they don't lose money.
i used a coupon code: 50OFF1920614 for $50 off on Verizon. I don't know if it will work for anyone else, but it's worth a try. Covered my upgrade fee and taxes

This is confusing I have Verizon and I pre ordered last week I have a date of Oct 23 the Verizon rep placing the order said I am in the first batch to go out but isn't the phone released the 17th or is Verizon version later than the official release date? What's even everyone else's release date if you have Verizon?

Verizon is always the last to go out, and last to upgrade software. They like to be last on purpose I believe.
Now that being said it is a ship BY date meaning you have a chance of getting it sooner. They normally try to have it in your hands the same day they release in the store. But the official date for preorders stated as the 23rd and still is currently unless we get lucky.

Will Best Buy price match carrier retail pricing for replacement phones?
Answer: No.
I have talked with my local BB and via email to the BB web site. They say you must activate a 2 year agreement to get BB's $200 offer.

Best buy hates selling phones without contracts so it would not suprise me if this is the road they take. Although I'm sure if you create a ****fest they may bend to move you along.

6GB RAM/64GB storage version on sale on Monday 18th June. If you want 8GB of memory and 256GB of storage then the release date is Wednesday 4th July.
The price and Al build with Snapdragon 845 and 6.2 inch screen and stereo speakers is a major major major go for me. MicroSD slot is the icing in the cake. I can just fit a glass screen protector on this baby and it should be good to go. Also Asus will be doing a 50 pounds/euro promotional rebate for all pre-orders and all sales on their website up til 15th July.

Anyone heard when it may be available in the US? It can be bought on ebay now from sellers in Taiwan and China but I'd rather wait until it's released in the US so hopefully it'll be the variant with more US LTE bands (assuming it's actually getting officially released in the US).

Based on one or two sites, it'll be released mid to late August in the US, which is utter crap.

In two months? The only people who (IMO) are really looking forward to the phone are people like us (Android "enthusiast") and I doubt we will forget in that amount of time. I'm just hoping Best Buy carries it like the 5Q. I prefer their warranty on phones and I get double-points on my BBY credit card
