No matter if you live in the U.S., Canada or the U.K., this is where you can buy the Note 4
The Galaxy Note 4 has been flying off shelves around the world since its release, and whether you're here in the U.S., up north in Canada or across the pond in the U.K. you have a whole host of options when it comes to buying. In the states you're of course making your decision based on carrier, but have your choice of retailer if you don't want to go directly to the source. Up in Canada things are a bit slimmer, as you'll be picking between the carrier and in some cases BestBuy as your retailer. The U.K. has opened up so that you can now buy from more than just Carphone Warehouse, thankfully.

United States
Those of us here in the U.S. have a wide range of choices when it comes to buying the Note 4, but thankfully things aren't all that different depending on your carrier choice. You're getting the same color choices and storage options, with prices that are almost the same as well. For Verizon, AT&T and Sprint you have a few different buying options between the carrier's own website, Amazon and BestBuy. T-Mobile and U.S. Cellular lock things down a bit and only give you their own website to buy from.

T-Mobile

Canada
All of the big Canadian carriers have the Note 4 available, and the pricing is about the same across the board as well. For Rogers, Bell, Telus and SaskTel you can pick up the Note 4 from both the carrier website and BestBuy, but the rest of the carriers only have the phone available on their own site.

Following a bit of exclusivity from Carphone Warehouse, you basically have your pick of retailers to buy the Note 4 from in the U.K. now. EE, Vodafone and O2 all have it up for order with varying prices based on your tariff, or you can grab it SIM free from a handful of popular channels.
- Buy from Amazon UK
- Buy from Carphone Warehouse
- Buy from EE's website
- Buy from GiffGaff
- Buy from O2
- Buy from Samsung
- Buy from Tesco Mobile
- Buy from Three
- Buy from Vodafone
International unlocked models
We're going to throw in links to buy the international model of the Note 4, but make sure to do your research before committing to one of these. Chances are it may not support all of the radio bands you need for full LTE support in your country. But if you check things out ahead of time and want to skip getting a carrier version that's likely loaded up with unwanted software, this may be the way to go.

Where to buy the Samsung Galaxy Note 4
Here was my ordeal trying to get a Sprint Note 4. Best Buy had a deal for a $200 dollar instant rebate with a trade in. I killed myself trying to find one in the store or online but could not get one due to pre orders not being filled, and shipment issues. I drove workers and my wife crazy trying. Finally on a Sunday morning it showed available online. I jumped to the phone and Pre ordered one with an expected shipment date of November 10. On Tuesday morning I received a shipment notification for October 30! The great part of this is that I get an additional $50 gift card! Too bad I'm in Italy and can't play with till I get home.

I had a rough time as well... Went to my local BB twice with no luck and called all the stores within 30 miles to have them tell me they were out of stock and I could preorder but if the shipment didn't come in by Nov. 1st i wouldn't get the $200 off. After arguing with them for some time I went to the local Sprint store to by only to listen to the salesmen yell at the customer in front of me about the trade-in value of his phone (for the Samsung deal) so I walked out, not wanting to buy from him on principal. Went to a non-corporate store to have them try to force me into a new contract and finally gave up and ordered the phone on Sprint's website which is what I should have done in the first place (It should be waiting for me when I get home). Sorry for the rant, carry on.
Great job walking out on that Sprint a**. People like that shouldn't get commission off of you.
Finally got to listen to the speaker on the Note 4 in person, at full volume. It is no boomsound by any means but it is better than the Note 3.
One thing that I did not think of, does you hand regularly cover the speaker while playing in landscape mode?
Besides the fact that the Note 3 speaker totally sucks, I find myself covering it quite a bit.
No speaker coverage for me

It must be amazing because I've never had an issue with my Note 3 speaker. Whether it's lying on its front or back, sound is always consistent for me, especially when I'm holding it for watching videos.
Posted via Nexu...LOOKOUT! ZOMBIE SQUIRRELS!
Consistent is one thing it is, but it is one of the worse speaker set ups from last year, if not the worst.
I do find myself covering the edge all the time

Definitely not the worst. As much as I loved my Nexus 5, nothing had a worse speaker, coupled with the bad placement.
Yeah the 5 was bad but I think when you only have one or two minor bad things, those are amplified. The speaker was the worst on the note
The camera was the worst on the n5.

Yes I could get it from Sprint but they didn't have it in black, but why pay more than you have to? $299-$200-$50= $49 for a new Note 4 hell yes!

So u got one for 49 bucks ......where
I was able to get 2 T-Mobile Note 4s at Costco when all the T-Mobile stores were sold out.
They are T-mobile authorized? Or did you buy the phone outright?
Bought from an Authorized Verizon Wireless Reseller store (Cellular Sales) last Friday night. Just walked in and bought it an hour before close. I even traded in a phone for the $200 through Samsung. I was in BB (maybe for the last time) to get a case they had instock (lies, they didn't have anything) yesterday and overheard the sales people saying they were maxed out with pre-orders, and they couldn't take anymore. I then called the store I bought mine at and they still had some. I feel bad for some people still waiting to get theirs.
The Amazon UK link just directs to a load of dodgy market place sellers. Amazon aren't selling yet

The Amazon sellers seem to be Chinese. I would avoid

I was able to just walk into the FiDi T-Mobile in SF on launch day and pick up a white Note 4. Granted, it was just after they received their shipment and i got the second-to-last one they had in stock...
I preordered a week after they started taking preorders. Had mine on release date. Traded an old captivate. Was pretty simple
Yes, I found the name. It's called "goStrap". I use it on both my e-reader and my phone. It definitely has stopped the dropping problem but probably just as importantly, it has given me back the use of my hand!!! They have a website but you can also get them at The Container Store. Hope this helps and best of luck!
Waiting for the price to drop or a great deal.

Just for informations sake... I want to add that you can buy or "rent" a factory Unlocked and Unbloated Tmobile Note 4 at any Renta center in the US. (Only GSM Tmobile Version, no Verizon or Sprint compatible) The retail is the same as Best Buy if you buy it outright (suggested) or you can pay 34.99 a week and have 90 days same as cash. After 90 days they are robbing you silly though. Just make 8 $100 payments if you strapped for cash and can't lose $800+ all at once. Anyhow this is how I bought my first note 3, over a months time. It's not a good idea if you aren't going to pay it off in less than 90 days unless you don't mind paying $2600.00 for it lol. It's also worth mentioning that you can also buy a Note 2 and 3 there as well.
Just thought I'd mention this as I don't see many people mention it.
Happy hunting

I ordered the black note 4 on the 11th of October. It is still on back order. On the T-mobile website it says it will ship in 4-7 days, that is false advertisement it is misleading to the customers. Someone should sue them.
No false advertising.
I ordered my Note 4 on October 15th and was promised shipment on October 23rd. It arrived October 16th!
Wouldn't the international version cause problems because of SIM region locking?
Got mine at the Sprint store with "EZ pay" ($30/mo for 24 months). Changed to a family plan, so my portion of the bill is just about what my old plan was (actually a few bucks less), but now I have a brand new phone, with no contract at all. Also love the fact that the Note 4 supports WiFi calling on Sprint now!
Curiously, I checked in the options and there is the option to select GSM networks now...anyone know what carriers/countries are supported with the Sprint version?
I was at my local Best Buy long before they opened on October 17 (Launch day). By the time they opened I was embarrassed. I had been the only one waiting for the Note 4. Once I got inside they only had enough inventory to cover their preorders. I left and drove about 5 miles to a somewhat obscure AT&T store. At that time there was one employee and one other customer in the store. Five minutes later I was buying a Note 4.
I was moving from an IPhone to the note 4. While researching the Note 4 I ran across references to the messaging/iMessage problem. Where a phone number previosly used on an IPhone remains listed in the iMessage servers and messages from IPhones do not get to the new Android phone. I unregistered my old IPhone as I had previously read to do, after three separate calls to Apple over a six day period my phone number was finally removed from the iMessage server(s) and finally people who have iPhones could get messages through to my new Note 4.
Looking for a Note 4 to use on Three UK. I travel to the US next week, is there an unlocked version I could get that would work on all of the bands that Three use?
Where's the best deal I can get for the Note 4 using Verizon?
I've been trying to reasearch on google & comment forums like this.
Are there any deals other then the usual upgrade? I'm looking at upgrading mid June in Michigan with Verizon..
