Samsung's highly-anticipated flagship phablet, the Galaxy Note 3, is set to land on U.S. shores at the beginning of October and it looks like we now have an official date the phone will be purchasable in AT&T stores. According to the nation's second largest wireless service provider, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 will be available in brick and mortars Oct. 4.

AT&T took to Twitter to announce that both the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch are "coming 10/4."

AT&T is currently accepting pre-orders for the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, stating that the device will ship by Oct 1. This lines up perfectly with the date tweeted, as it'll probably mean customers who pre-ordered the Galaxy Note 3 will receive it Oct. 3-4 in the mail.

AT&T is offering the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 for $300 with a two-year contract. The handset is available in both jet black and classic white.

Those who pre-ordered the Galaxy Note 3 through T-Mobile can expect a "ship by" date of Oct. 1 as well. Sprint has announced it will begin selling the Galaxy Note 3 by Oct. 4, and Verizon pre-orders have a "ship by" date of Oct. 10. It's not clear whether these dates refer to in-store inventories. Supply shortages and inventory allocations usually mean a smartphone can be a little difficult to pick up outside of major city brick and mortars during the hectic first couple launch weeks.
