Samsung Note 3 release date September 25: Sprint pre-order, AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon Price

The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 will be releasing worldwide on September 25 and will be available in the US from AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon.  

T-Mobile will be offering the device with a no-contract price of $703.99. The price plan allows customers to pay $199.99 upfront and then $21 over a 24-month period. The carrier also charges $10 for a SIM Starter Kit.

The powerful phablet got Samsung fans pretty excited after it was unveiled on September 4 at the Samsung Unpacked Episode 2 event.

For gadget lovers, the device will be available with its companion Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch from AT&T and T-Mobile.  

AT&T customers can get the device on an AT&T Next plan, a 2- or 1-year contract or month to month. However, the device itself won't be shipping until October 1.  

The device is retailing at around the $700 mark, making it one of the most expensive on the market, but at $299.99 on AT&T contracts.

The device itself will also ship from T-Mobile from October 1.

It appears that Sprint has yet to announce its release date for the Note 3 but it is available for pre-order, subject to a new 2-year agreement or eligible upgrade.  

And it seems the device will be available from Verizon in-store only, with a similar price tag of $799.99 or $299.99 on a two-year contract.

Last year, Verizon customers were a little bugged by the big Verizon branding splashed over the handset.  It looks like Verizon have taken their complaints on board and placed their logo on the reverse rather than onto the home button like they did for the Note 2.

For those who like their device brand free, they can opt for the AT&T version.  

It also looks like for now at least, the US carriers will not be offering the pink version but only black or white.
