Samsung launches first retail store. Located in Metrotown
 

Does this mean if your mobile device fucks up and it's under warranty, you can just swap for a new one like Apple Customer Care?

I hate waiting for RMA and you are stuck with a crappy loaner phone for two weeks.

at a quick glance, I thought I was looking at the Apple Store pics :suspicious:

Time to bring it in for my scratched bezel!

Located right by Purdy's at Metrotown!

Huh, I thought they had one in aberdeen?

Heard on the radio yesterday. This is a pretty big move by Samsung IMO. I think it was about time too

Not sure about aberdeen but they have their own front inside Memory Express Richmond that launched in the spring.

I had the opportunity to go last week and it is very very nice inside. They have various laptops on display including the new ultrabooks. Their slate is there too running Windows 7 for now. Lots of Galaxy Notes and S3. They have two TVs on display with people demonstrating AllShare once in a while.

Overall it's not a bad shop. The prices are slightly higher than other places like FS/BB though.

Apparently they are funded by a wireless corporation? Or at least from what I heard. Someone said Glentel.

That one you see is by NCIX

The one inside Aberdeen Center is belongs to NCIX.

I'd say it's about time. Samsung has definitely grown a hell of a lot in the past few years. It'll be nice if their "Genius Bar" works like Apple's. One of the few things I dislike about Samsung is, as voiced already, the RMA process.

blue shirts at the samsung store as well eh?

Looks a lot like apple store. I'm going to be confused. Apple should sue Samsung for design/concept infringement so consumers will not be confused. :troll:

about damn time indeed!

their product line-up is so amazing nowadays, def needs their own store to show it off

So its a big Box Store... they are competing not only against Apple, but BestBuy and Futureshop, etc...

The Microsoft store looks exactly like the Apple Store as well except it isn't bright as fuck.

stumbled across this yesterday at metrotown. $699 for the s3 :( SO TEMPTED

Did they have the quad-core international version?

^ they told me they did

The colour blue is actually important when choosing a colour. Studies show that people wearing blue are perceived as more friendly, helpful, dependable, and trustworthy. And before Apple wasn't the first store to have blue uniformed employees (think Best Buy).

don't know why everyone is ripping on samsung for copying Apple

Apple came up with genius ideas, but as a consumer, the last thing I'd want is for Apple to be my only choice

Not this shit again.
