    Beware of Galaxy S8 upgrade

    Obviously ppl are sending in defective phones that do not qualify because of damage, etc. Checked BBB in several states and no verified reports about this issue anywhere.

    Beware of Galaxy S8 upgrade

    The $400 trade-in program direct twith Samsung only pops up a couple of times a year. It was available just after holidays and ended shortly thereafter. Best aspect of this trade-in deal is the fact that you separate no-interest payments for 2 years from your cell service provider. Means...

    Galaxy s8 review

    Galaxy S7 are still for sale and according to Consumer Reports price remains between 5 and $600 depending on the model (7 Edge is worth more) so a large discount will not happen. Instead expect BOGO offers from carriers and probably more like $300 on a trade. Samsung only runs these special...

    Bummed, cracked screen

    After I cracked my S7 Edge, I bought a tech21 wallet case, kevlar on front flap and magnetic closure, Looks good and the wireless charger works with the case on.

    Has your Verizon Backordered Silver Titanium S7 Edge shipped yet? (Update: They're Shipping!)

    Verizon is the largest supplier of the new SSs. In the first week 1.1 million new SS handsets were sold: Verizon handled over 800,000 orders. Ordered my silver Edge 7 in mid-February and got it March 11th. Gear watch came with the phones and the VR headsets arrived last Thursday (4/26).

    $269 for new screens. What do you mean by "cut off" date? I dropped mine 2 weeks after I got it. My understanding is that w/o ins. we all get charged. I guess you could say I reached out to SS too and paid the std. fee.

    Cracked S7 Edge - Advice

    UPS says phone will be here Monday. Got a Tech21 Evo Wallet case Saturday ($40). It has magnets to keep case closed unlike the more expensive wallet cases I've checked out.

    Cracked S7 Edge - Advice

    Got this last night: “Thank you for your patience. Your product was shipped on 4/20/2016 at 8:51 PM EST.” Sounds like they didn't get off for 4:20, pun intended. New screens and one speaker. Happy that their April 25th estimate wasn't accurate.

    Cracked S7 Edge - Advice

    Since about 1.1 million 7S and Edge 7s were sold nationwide in about ten days, there are probably right many needing new screens. The drop my phone took would've cracked ANY screen (face first onto rough asphalt) so I have NO problem with the phone. Edge 7s are a lot like the Edge 6 and I...

    Cracked S7 Edge - Advice

    UPS delivered my phone to Texas on April 12th but I just got notification on April 18th that it was in their system with a note "repair by April 25th." This is a long time. Originally they had said 7 to 10 business days.
