    awesome price but you might want to put price in title

  • stumo on 30/04/2012 - 20:20

    $19 shipping VIC. That makes it just under 500 bux, which is pretty good.

    Just be aware that Kogan seem to have no control over their HK distributors, ans so lots of people are receiving broken seal phones, which could be refurbs or anything. At least Kogan are replacing/refunding those though, unlike other online retailers I won't mention.

      Use to be, however they have turn things around and everyone I know so far has received sealed Phone.
      People are also saying that DWI and Eglobal send out the phone locked and sealed broken.

      I received my Note today from Kogan, for an order I placed on Monday night (However there was a public holiday on Wednesday, which delayed things). Once the order was actually processed (on Thursday), it was shipped via FedEx express and was in my hands by Monday. So I'm quite pleased with the service. Would have received it by Friday or Saturday (FedEx) if not for the public holiday.

      The box was sealed and in excellent order. However, this is the European model, so an Australian adapter had been included (which is quite compact and well made by the looks of it) as was the English manual to supplement the original French manual.

      All in all, a great experience and a great price!

      Why won't you mention those online retailers? Name them and shame them!

    • uccoffee on 06/05/2012 - 12:30

      I bought a NOTE from Hong Kong about 6 months ago, and it came with 1 extra sealing sticker for the box.

      I also remembered I got 1 for my HTC HD2 when I bought the official product in Hong Kong too. I think they usually have 1 extra sealing sticker for opening the box and put security device inside etc etc

      But I bought another NOTE from DWI , the box is properly sealed but and it does not come with extra sealing stickers.

    I bought mine at the old $519 price, I have heard others arriving with broken seals but mine did come fully sealed and arrived in 4 business days so I was very happy with Kogan. This new price is a winner. Fantastic phone I absolutely love mine.

      Kogan is known to match the current price in cases like this. I know because I've bought my Note from Kogan.
      Just call them and explain them the situation and they'll refund the difference.

      • salem on 01/05/2012 - 13:21

        Can confirm Kogan did this for me too when I bought my Galaxy Nexus from them and their price dropped a few days later. Jump on the phone!

    • snappy1234 on 30/04/2012 - 21:56

      Most large phone shops will have these now…had a play on one @ CJs couple of weeks ago
      maybe ring first to make sure you can have a play (not just pick up the display)

  • mr_asstight on 30/04/2012 - 21:44

    So how quickly will they send these? I need mine by Friday

    • JaredTR on 30/04/2012 - 21:49

      Don't hold your breath. Ordered mine April 24, and theoretically should receive it May 2.

    • samfisher5986 on 30/04/2012 - 22:04

      Basically its DHL International and they take a few days to send. You have a chance of receiving it on Friday, but it might not.

  • Spets on 30/04/2012 - 22:09

    • Maxxjet on 30/04/2012 - 22:49

      answered above,NO,as you didn't pay GST in the first place and that's one of the very reasons why it's cheaper than Aust stock.

      • fleabag on 01/05/2012 - 00:30

        that's only 10% about another $47 hardly normals still wants 899 for it and I haven't seen it for less then 700 locally

    Samsung galaxy 3 supposed to be out this month. May as well wait and see what it's like before buying the note or nexus. As their prices are dropping, probably no need to hurry.

    In case people arent aware, the 64GB Sandisk microSDXC works fine and dandy in the note. Sweet 80GB off capacity! The price of those are dropping quire rapidly:

  • hathro on 02/05/2012 - 16:29

    I purchased my note a few weeks ago and tried to ask for store credit or refund since the price dropped so quickly. This was the response from Kogan:

    "Thank you for your email. We cannot discount the price of the Samsung Galaxy Note any further. The prices do fluctuate from time to time depending on market conditions."

    • evolution-flip on 02/05/2012 - 20:53

      Which is fair enough.

  • jetpac on 02/05/2012 - 23:30

    Hi a question for those who bought the Note from Kogan. Do you get a samsung stereo headset with mic in the box? The specs on their website don't mention it and I emailed Kogan to check and I got a response saying they don't supply a headset. I would have thought it would, as Samsung usually include this in most of their high end smartphones.

    • shiba on 03/05/2012 - 07:53

      i think it should come with a earphone (instead of headset) with mic as standard.

  • highon2str on 03/05/2012 - 06:23

    Finally couldnt resist any longer and decided to get one. XD What are u guys gonna use for a case? There are a few on ebay and I'm leaning more towards one with a stand…

  • jetpac on 03/05/2012 - 08:49

    All good. Just got an email from Kogan and they said one of their colleagues misinformed me, so yes should have a set "earphones" with mic so you can use as a handsfree device.

  • oz_tech on 03/05/2012 - 18:58

        Was just in JB & had a play with a Note. Was $864 outright at JB. Makes me feel even better that I paid the Kogan price. Absolute bargain. Also best price for an SGS3 is >$700 internationally.
        I would tend to agree with donkuok for the moment :-)

        • Knightelf on 05/05/2012 - 23:35

          The SGS 3 is kinda ugly imo… Glad I bought the Note!

        • doggykit on 05/05/2012 - 23:37

          Sure is ugly, I am contemplating buying a GNote at the moment but I want a white one and not sure if they are coming out with a new model GNnote.

    still waiting on my Note to be dispatched. Ordered last Thursday (I know I am impatient). Funny thing is I ordered 2 tablets from Kogan in the same order & the tablets arrived today.

    For those who received their Note's, how long did it typically take from order, to dispatch, or arrival please?

    • donkuok on 07/05/2012 - 14:32

      Guess there were many backorders due to higher demand.

          Man, Kogan & DHL are legends! DHL picked it up from the Hong Kong warehouse yesterday & it arrived at my workplace in Vic today. Unfortunately I have to wait till tomorrow because I had to leave early today :-( Something to look forward to tomorrow :-)

  • doggykit on 07/05/2012 - 22:57

    Any difference between buying either SGNOTE or SGS2 from place like Kogan compared to "Australian stock" or a place like All Phones (outright)?

    Noticed that there is no postage being calculated on my order last night (or various items I have tried this morning). Basically a further $29 savings here folks - take advantage of it whilst you can as I think it is a glitch in their new website/system!

    I prefer Note over Galaxy as it is better in every single aspect I believe except the brightness of screen however the pixel density is better which makes up for that… and also the size…

  • highon2str on 10/05/2012 - 07:55

    Received mine yesterday! Pretty annoyed at the moment though cause all my apps are gone and the ICS update isnt yet available for the note. Does anyone know how to sync my old apps from my s2 to my note? Tried to restore an s2 backup (from kies) but that didnt restore my apps. :(

    • oz_tech on 10/05/2012 - 23:49

      Mate I moved from a HTC to the Note no problem. I used 'app backup & restore' & 'sms backup & restore'. First one gave me a copy of all my apps. Second one gave me a copy of all my sms messages. Just save them all to your microsd then move it to your note & restore away.
      Both apps are available in the Google Play store.
      Hope this helps.

  • oz_tech on 10/05/2012 - 23:44

    Mine arrived yesterday & all is good mr kogan :-)
    Coming from a HTC just 3 things annoyed me. 1st is the need for a physical home button. HTC survives just fine with a soft button. 2nd is how the apps installed are not shown in alphabetical order. Some may say these minor things, everything being faitr everything else about the phone is great & I've already forgotten that its so big.
    Guys this is a great phone.

    • doggykit on 10/05/2012 - 23:45
