Verizon to take pre-orders on Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Samsung Galaxy Gear starting Friday

With the introduction on Wednesday of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and the Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch, all four major U.S. carriers jumped into the action by announcing that they would be carrying both devices. T-Mobile and AT&T have each put up a pre-registration page for the phablet, asking you for information so that you can be contacted when the device is ready to be pre-ordered. Verizon went a step further and announced that it would start accepting pre-orders for both devices on Friday, September 6th at 9am.

While we have no idea about the pricing for the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, we do know that the Galaxy Gear smartwatch is $299. The watch connects to your phone via Bluetooth 4.0 which means that the carriers won't be offering a data plan for the timepiece. The watch will be released later this month in some areas and next month in the U.S. and Japan.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 will launch in 140 countries on September 25th and later this year in the U.S. via Verizon, Sprint, AT&T, T-Mobile and U.S. Cellular.
