While the Galaxy Note 4 is set to be available all over the place before the end of the month, it was originally expected that UK users would be able to pick one up starting tomorrow, October 10. Unfortunately prospective buyers in the UK will have to wait an extra week now, as @SamsungMobileUK has stated that the Note 4 won't be going on sale until October 17th.
As noted on their twitter account, the Note 4 has been delayed due to "amazing interest and demand" and will go on sale in the UK starting the 17th.
@Faryaab Hi. Due to the amazing interest and demand for the Galaxy Note 4, the device will now go on sale in the UK from the 17th October.
— Samsung Mobile UK (@SamsungMobileUK) October 9, 2014So there you have it. If you were hoping to get your hands on a new Note 4 tomorrow, you'll sadly have to wait it out another week.
Are you planning to pick up a Note 4? Hit up the comments and let us know!

Galaxy Note 4 delayed in the UK due to 'amazing interest and demand', now available October 17
CloveUK ahead of the pack yet again: about a week ago they updated their page from 'expected week commencing 13 October' to 'First stock due 17th October' - spot on as always, so this was no big surprise for me
Their excuse makes absolutely no sense

My thoughts exactly.

Unrelated but I'm in the U.S and I pre ordered mine at Best Buy yesterday, thinking i can pick it up in store first thing Friday (October 17th) morning and the dude tells me they'll email me and tell me when to come get it. Wtf? The whole reason i pre ordered was so i can get it that morning. I'll be a little p'd if they email me after the 17th when i could've just gotten it somewhere else day of
This is one of the reasons I do not do pre-orders. I have a feeling though we will be able to walk in and pick one up though on the 17th though...
Yeah, I thought of pre-ordering, but then if there are shipping complications and I don't get it release day, I'd be really annoyed. I'd rather just go in and buy it on the 17th. If they run out, I can wait a little until more come in. Not like my Note 3 is suddenly terrible, hehe
They will most likely email you next week and you can get it either shipped or pick it up on the 17th in-store

i pre-ordered it 2 weeks ago and the guy @ Best buy said I will have one reserved for me on the 17th.
That's the worst part, because i'm pretty positive i could walk in and get one on the 17th. I just didn't wanna take any chances and have to wait, even a day longer. Which looks like it could happen anyway lol. Hopefully in wrong and they email me Thursday night or something
Delaying the phone with a single day's notice is pretty poor Samsung...
"Galaxy Note 4 delayed in the UK due to 'amazing interest and demand'"
LOL da fuq?
Unlocked mobiles in the UK are still showing expected delivery for the 10th. Although after reading this news I'm sure it won't be.

Samsung wonder why they have a drop in profits well this may not be the root cause. However this shambles of getting a line on shelves is pathetic and for a big company like Samsung they should know better.
The excuse has no logic and we all know Stock is already here....So atleast tell the truth...don't mug us off lol

Could it have something to do with
NVIDIA by any chance?
I read an article on that and it said that nvidia is attempting to block sales in the US if I remember correctly. Should that affect the UK?

Got one on pre-order. Hope it get's to me before the 28th or me PAC code will run out.
LMFAO, about "amazing interest," Samsung, unless you are getting 4 million pre-orders in 6 hours gtfo.
It is pointless to release and heavily promote a device that no-one can physically buy. Clearly demand, notably in terms of pre-orders, has outstripped the current supply which is why Samsung want an extra week to divert additional supplies. It makes perfect sense.
Hope this is the case... As it would make sense... Nothing else would really justify the move (even if it were a creative ploy to enhance a "desire" to get what one might not be able to, if one waits too long post-release)

This is getting silly. At this rate I'll be using my S3 for the next twenty years waiting for the next big thing. Maybe I'll just get the Note 3. F$ck already

It may be an excuse... but if you have a large "demand" as a company a week delay isn't that much of a sacrifice if you have double the inventory in the store.. instead of people having to wait a week anyway after a launch, which would make people more upset. You know how annoying it is when you expect a product on a certain day and u walk in and they say .. "we only have 5 of them to sell"... in that case ur wasting your time... if waiting a week so they can ramp up production and get more units in store on launch day .. it's better IMHO.. and the fact that I have to wait till the 17th anyway hahaha...
If that's true.......then good point. I'm actually thinking about this, got the iPhone 6 plus but to be honest.......underwhelmed.
