Eager to throw your money at someone for a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 or Galaxy Gear after the two devices were officially unveiled yesterday? Verizon customers will soon have the opportunity to do just that, as the big red carrier has announced that it'll begin accepting pre-orders for both devices at 9:00 a.m. ET on Friday, Sept. 9. However, there's mention of when the Note 3 or Gear will cost or when they'll begin arriving in Verizon's shelves and its customers' hands.

Just as with 2012's Galaxy Note II, the new Galaxy Note 3 is slated to arrive on five U.S. carriers, giving most wireless subscribers the opportunity to pick up Samsung's latest phone/tablet hybrid and its faux leather backside. The device is actually expected to begin rolling out around the globe on Sept. 25, but Samsung has given a much more vague "later this year" timeframe when it comes to the U.S. Note 3 launch. Here's to hoping that with an international journey that begins in less than three weeks, it won't be long before the Note 3's journey brings it stateside.
