All you need to know about buying these things

Samsung has plopped its Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy Gear smartwatch on shop shelves, and consumers cn head to a few outlets to pick one up.

Update: We've had a scout around and added in some more Note 3 prices, as well as a couple for the Galaxy Gear, so if you want to know where to get it, this is the place to come.

Although you're already here, which negates that somewhat. Tell a friend.

The main place those that don't want to mess around with a contract, but are desperate to have both devices, should head is directly to Samsung itself, where it's offering the two for £868. That's a £50 saving over buying the Note 3 (£629) and the Gear (£219) separately, although you can only have the smartwatch in black or white if you go through this portal.

The Galaxy Gear is in limited supply around the web, with Expansys still stating it's only for pre-order (and bringing the cost up to £335) and Clove offering it in unknown colours for £282... although still not available.

The Carphone Warehouse is following Samsung's lead and offering up the Galaxy Gear for cheaper if bundled with the Note 3 - we just spoke to their sales team and while they don't have any idea on how much the Gear will be, the phone seller is now offering it for £100 off (not the £50 listed on its site), with prices expected to be £199 with discount.

Note 3

The Galaxy Note 3, as you can imagine, is a pricier beast, with EE, O2, Orange, Carphone Warehouse, Phones4U and Amazon all starting off with it on sale.

Amazon wants you to part with the best part of £800 to get the 32GB version, although has listed this as out of stock.

Other prices on contract range from £51 a month for 4G on EE (with a £30 upfront phone cost) to free on £42 a month deals with Carphone, to £52 a month with a free phone on O2 Refresh (more if you fancy 4G).

Orange is listed as a retailer by Samsung, but is still listing the Note 3 for pre-order, and Vodafone has nothing on the device at all just yet. Three is going to be stocking the new Note, but will be sending it out on 9 October.
