The original ship date for Verizon was 10/17. Also, that was the date I was quoted in the store. But that date changed to 10/23 later (I assumed due to availability). I went back to the store after the date change and they are still saying 10/17 for in-store availability. And only if you are a new customer or upgrading. No full cost purchasing allowed for 30 days after the date of initial release (keep in mind, this is in-store).

So I'll have to wait until next week because I preordered?! That's some bull...

Must be something the manager decided on, because my local Verizon store said I could buy it at full price as soon as they have them available (which they said could be tomorrow). Is the store you asked in a corporate store?

I preordered one. Hoping Verizon ships it earlier than 10/23 because I leave on business for a week that day :(

I pulled the trigger on the pre-order. I really like my S5 (with the IP67 rating being particularly handy), but I've missed the Note series tremendously. The reviews are stellar, and I really like the improvement I'm seeing with OIS being added to the camera. The $200 total trade-in from Samsung if you pre-order put it over the top for me. After selling my S5 and accessories, I'll only end up paying about $75 for the Note 4. Not too shabby. Can't wait to get my hands on it next week.

Has anyone heard whether Verizon will possibly release earlier than Oct 23rd?

Doesn't look likely at this point.

Pre-orders could potentially start shipping at anytime, but if history is any indication, that's probably not likely either.

I'm debating on whether to head to the store tomorrow and pay $900 or wait a month and a half until I get back to the U.S.

Timing actually works out quite well for me. We left the state on the 15th & will be back on the 22nd, so my phone should arrive shortly after we do & I'll have a new toy to play with over the weekend.

Just hoping I get it by Friday going away next weekend and would be nice to play with the new phone.

No it will be on Thursday the 23rd. I have a friend that works for my local Verizon store. I remember when I had to wait for my Gnote3. After the other providers had released theirs already. It was rough.
