    Samsung.com S10/+: Pre-Order Thread

    Having the same issue, Samsung support was no help at all. Said to keep trying. Now the active watch I wanted to use the discount on is out of stock and still have no order "Multiple times today I've gotten a message saying the model I'm trying to add is out of stock. Eventually the...

    Do We Really Still Need Screen Protectors?

    No protector on mine, I just use a good case with bumpers at the bottom and top to keep the glass from touching when it is screen down. I also never put anything else in the pocket I keep it in.

    The Note 8 has poor battery life and poor brightness, give me the Note 7!!!

    My battery life has been kinda **** compared to my S8+ but I think it has more to do with using smart switch. I'm going to keep an eye on it and maybe master reset if I have to and start over.

    Samsung (direct from them): Note 8 Pre-Order Thread

    If they were going to change the value I'm not sure why they wouldn't have listed it like the normal trade in program with lesser values for older phones upfront.

    Samsung (direct from them): Note 8 Pre-Order Thread

    Though it sucks I am not surprised Samsung direct is slower to ship than everyone else from what I know of prior launches. The only reason I went direct is the note 7 trade in program. Picked up a note 5 to trade in and after I sell my S8+ I should about break even on the on upgrade or maybe...

    Samsung (direct from them): Note 8 Pre-Order Thread

    The note 7 trade in was not variable like the normal trade in program, it was 425 for any of the phones eligible for trade including the older phones like the note 5 or iphone5.

    Why does Verizon strip out the Device Maintenance?

    After having AT&T and Sprint in my area, Verizon has the best service and coverage in my area. There is a reason people pay for it even though it is the most expensive.

    Galaxy S8 / S8 + Battery Life Thread

    Best battery life I've ever experienced, I game and occasionally watch videos and am amazed on how the battery hasn't even budged after a 20 minute session. I too think the people with bad battery life are probably getting killed by signal. None of my verizon phones last long when I am in a...
