free apps for your Samsung Galaxy Note 3, such as: Navigon (comes as default), Bitcasa, Angry Birds Star Wars, Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary, etc.
This is for NZ. Is the offer also available for Australia? There is no au URL either.
this is available for both AU and NZ, I downloaded all the apps that are free :)
I've got Note 3 but when I try to install Navigon it says model not supported. Any ideas?
Do you have an official Aus or NZ model?
I have noticed that the grey imports I have used won't always allow it…
Correct. My previous Kogan note 2 wouldn't get navigon to install either. Current note 3 I bought from Jb has no issues.
Was that a deciding factor in buying from JB second time around rather than Kogan ?
It is a whopping 35% increase (for say the 32GB 4G Note3) to buy locally:
When I bought it a couple of weeks ago, it was $680 shipped grey import VS a local set (32GB, white, unlocked, unbranded) which is available for roughly $745 - a difference of $65.
I was happy to pay the extra $65 for
Mostly its the peace of mind knowing I don't have to mess around with kogan/SS/COTD when something arrives DOA, opened, missing parts, dead pixel, something goes wrong a few mths later etc.
sorry forgot to say how I got it for $745. Most JBs should be able to get the price down to $783 for you, then either paywave it 8 times or do what I did and use gift cards that were purchased at 5% off.
Nice, thanks for the info!
I want to buy it on my Coles Mastercard for the 2 year price protection (as the Note3 will likely drop to sub-$500 when the Note4 comes out, as the Note2 has, so I can claim back the diff).
I just ordered one of the $100 JB gift cards online, to try and score a $30 bonus gift voucher, but I might use it for something else (accessory?) as using gift cards (even those bought with the same Coles card) may interfere with the price protection claim.
Mine was also a Kogan bought Note 3. Some people say that its because the Note 3 I'm using is the Octa core version. Others say it is possible to install if I change my phone model identifier so an AU model. Not sure which is which tbh.
So the Kogan Note3's have 8 cores, but the local Note3's have fewer ? 4 ?
I wonder how big a performance difference that makes… I thought all N9005's (4G Note3) were identical and the main benefit of buying locally was the extra 1 year Samsung warranty and ability to load NAVIGON.
Atm the octa core note 3 can only use 4 at a time. Have read about heat dissipation issues and power consumption woes with the full octa core patch hanging in the air. Not too sure what the real world performance difference is - wouldn't think it would be that noticeable and frankly I'd rather my battery last longer!
There is a (sort of) side by side comparison using various tests in the video posted here:
Don't think the Get Started thing work for Dropbox if you are already an user? I have finished Samsung + Dropbox listed as an activity I did an year back, which gave me 48Gb….got nothing from the Note 3 though.

I got $20 for samsung Learning Apps but not Samsung Video Hub.
I got the $20 credit too. Is there anything worth getting though?
How do you activate the video hub offer?
Nice find. A pity most of the premium apps are only free for 1-3 months.
The 2 year warranty, 2yrs of 50GB Dropbox, and Navigon software are decent tho.
