    WOW! Samsung lowering S21 shipments from 35m to 26m! Samsung customers have spoke. The S21 is a flop

    TMo can be nationside with 5g.. except here in my area. 5G speeds (up/down): 8.69/1.03 3.12/0.19 0.76/8.86 2.75/0.43 Some 5G are faster.. some LTE are faster than 5G. large metro area in Florida.

    S21 Preorder Samsung Online

    Fed Ex is screwed. I had two packages and the tracker showed they were on separate trucks in the morning and at different locations. An hour later, they were on the same truck and delivered at the same time.

    The Regular s21 Back Is Plastic

    I complained about the loss of SD. goign from floppy to diskettes is a different argument. You still have a removeable storage, that you can swap around. Taking the SD card slot out is a money grab. There is not much space lost with the SD card in as it uses the same tray as the SIM. You could...

    The Regular s21 Back Is Plastic

    An Apple blog did an iPhone 12 and S21U and the iPhone came out worse and the Ultra had no major wear nor tear. Each review will give you something else.

    Received your S21?

    no. You can open the Shop Sammy app on the phone. At least on mine, it pulled the IMEI automatically and 30 minutes later got approved. the next day I got my code. about 1 week later, I get the Buds Pro I ordered with the credit delivered.

    Anyone receive the Samsung credit yet?

    I ordered from TMo. As soon as I got it, went into Shop Sammy app. Entered my IMEI number, or should I say, it pulled it automatically, then answered questions as to who I bought it from, when, etc. and it processed. 30 minutes later told it was approved. Next day I got the code. I never had...

    Best S21 cases. Which one(s) are you getting?

    I remember reading and seeing the picture. IT was curved. Maybe yours or theirs was custom. My wife loves the teal color, but I've always loved the 2 piece types (TPU and Polycarb hard shell) cases.

    S21 T-Mobile (and former Sprint) Pre-order, anyone else?

    I preordered and didn't get buds at 50% off, unless you are counting the store credit. Either way, I snagged the Buds Pro for $41 (after $100, Gov discount, and trade-in of some crappy old unused earbuds).

    S21 T-Mobile (and former Sprint) Pre-order, anyone else?

    TMo offered $800 off that phone, plus you got the same store credit that Samsung was offering. If you ordered in store, you got the fair trade in value off the new phone then, and the balance of the $800 in 24 monthly bill credits. Order online, and they give you the instant bill credit, and the...

    Best S21 cases. Which one(s) are you getting?

    I meant its not recessed to not rest flat on the table. You should be able to push on one end and the other end raises a little. The pop socket, in one review I saw, said it was curved, not flat tops like other pop sockets.

    S21 Preorder Samsung Online

    If you went on TMo's site, you got $800 off with trade in. plus the same credits from Samsung ($100/$150/200). I ordered from TMo and just used my $100 credit (traded in a S9 which was the oldest model for full $800) for Buds Pro. Got my phone last Thursday (S21 256GB)

    Best S21 cases. Which one(s) are you getting?

    the Symmetry with Pop socket isn't flush with the case.

    S21 Screen Protector

    I keep my phone in one pocket only. Same pocket, no matter what pants I wear, and nothing else in that pocket to minimize anything scratching. Go to beach, I use a ziplock bag for it.

    S21 T-Mobile (and former Sprint) Pre-order, anyone else?

    did anyone use their credit yet on Shop Samsung? If so, did the Smarttag get applied? My email said it would be added automatically at checkout, but after I put in the order for my Buds Pro, I don't see anything in the order. I will find out I guess on Tuesday when it comes in.

    Best S21 cases. Which one(s) are you getting?

    Re: Best S21 cases I loved the commuter back in the day. Now I get the Spigen Tough Armor, which is similar but cheaper. the S21 is going to my wife, so we ordered the Otterbox Commuter for her. Wanted the Teal Symmetry one, but not certain how it would hold up, as we prefer the hard shell combo.
