I did the same. Wasn't getting any movement on the Blue 512/VZW preordered from Samsung direct. So I noticed my local Best Buy had the Blue 128's in stock, so I did the $450/trade-in for my S9. Happy that I did because after some reflection I really didn't think I'd need that beefed up...

I think you just need to develop an imagined stomach virus and take the day off Monday.

Thanks, Daniel. And to be clear, you ordered a carrier-version of the Blue 512?

Wrong Thread. This is the direct-from-Samsung Thread. There's another one for those that pre-ordered from BestBuy

So I'm glad all the early pre-order (8/10-8/14) folks have gotten or at least have tracking on their phones. Just trying to figure out where they are TODAY on 512GB BLUES (carrier versions) that were pre-ordered between 8/14-8/17? Anyone in that range gotten any emails or indications? (I know...

I'm in the above group of folk who pre-ordered the 512GB late and waiting on the sidelines. Can't wait to hear the early reviews from you guys.

Well, assuming you're upgrading from a Note 8, therefore going from Android 8.0 to 8.1 - personally, I would think a FRESH install would be cleaner; avoiding any possibility of a rogue app transferred from another phone from causing problems. i.e. spend 30 minutes to an hour installing your...

So I ordered my VZ 512GB Blue late last week. My current status on the Samsung Order page states that it's 'pre-ordered', and headphones 'In-Process'. My question is since the status isn't 'Backordered', you guys think there's a chance they'll try to get it to me by 8/24? I think I ordered...

I suspect the Samsung site will always be days behind actual reality. Meaning, I think folks will be receiving their packages even before Samsung updates their site to show fedex tracking information. And then days later after receiving their package it'll finally update to 'delivered' on the...

Re: So when will the Note 9 likely ship for pre orders? Thankfully Samsung is better at distribution and shipping then Google. Not sure if any of you were part of the Pixel 2/2XL pre-order debacle last year. People ordering after release date were getting phones within 2 days.. and those that...

Ordered this and it arrived today. It's actually a very nice case. I jammed my note 8 into it. Good grippy sides, and a decent amount of protection. Definitely worth the $1.95 !

I didn't put any of my 'features' in any particular order and weight them in any way. It was merely a list of features that I would consider specs on a flagship 'Android' phone. Fellas, you're all getting a little heated about this. Yes this is totally my opinion. But nothing I listed is far...

If you were to give me $850/$950 for a phone (with no promotional discounts), I would expect the following features: 1) A screen indicative of the current top-of-the-line phones. No debate on LCD vs OLED. It just can't be comparable to a screen you'd see 3-4 years ago. 2) Waterproof - IP67...

I believe you agree with me (concerning the value), but you're dancing around my main point. Let's forget about the screen debate for now. With what you know now about the 2 XL, do you agree that the phone's base price is too high? ($849/$949) I purchased my 64GB Panda 2XL right before the...

Alot of phone junkies on these boards... people who hop phones every 6 months. For that kind of person (which seems to be the one's with the most negative comments), they fully know that the Pixel 2XL is not a step up from the OG Pixel XL. It's merely a new version with a higher price tag...
