    So when we start receiving shipments??

    Now Google Fi (and FedEx) says it's being delvered Sunday. I've never had a phone delivery on Sunday. It's shipping from Carol Stream, Indiana, just like when I order from the Google store.

    So when we start receiving shipments??

    I finally got "Preparing for shipment" from Google Fi, and the cancel button is gone. Delivers March 11-12. I canceled my Samsung order and reordered from Google Fi on the 27th, so this was expected.

    How do you guys purchase your phone? Directly from Samsung or from carrier?

    I usually buy it unlocked like most on here at Samsung.com. This year I cancelled my Samsung order and bought it through Google FI. I think all phones bought on FI are unlocked but I’m not sure. They’re not a traditional carrier.

    Who's Ordering The S26

    It's crazy how the deals come and go over a few days. The Fold 7 wasn't initially available for trade-in, but it is now. When I pre-ordered, I got $150 off the Buds 4; now that deal is gone, and it's only 10% off. edit: you still get the $150 off if you don't have a trade-in

    Pre-order "deals" are unimpressive to put it mildly!

    Well, I won't be getting the Buds 4 for now since I canceled my Samsung order. All that was part of the promotion buying on Samsung.com. I may pick them up later on Amazon. I also wanted to mention that if any of you are on Google Fi, they have a pretty good deal. $650 off if you buy from...

    Who's Ordering The S26

    Wew hew! I canceled my order and placed a new one with Google Fi. $650 for Google Fi customers, I could't resist. S26 Ultra 512GB Colbalt violet.

    Yeah, the Buds pro 2 are nice. I had to go back to them when callers said I sounded like I was talking on speaker using the buds pro 3. I’m hoping they improved the buds 4. I don’t mind trying them out for $150 off (thought is was only 100).

    Who's Ordering The S26

    I preordered and paid full price since they wouldn't accept the Fold 7 for trade-in. I like the Fold device, but missed my S25 Ultra. Someone mentioned call screening, and I really like that and hope it's as good as the Pixel phones'.

    I forgot to mention, I did get $100 off Pixel buds 4 pro.

    Pre-order "deals" are unimpressive to put it mildly!

    I agree, the deals aren’t as good as in the past. I preordered the S26 ultra 512Gb, paid full price. I couldn’t trade in my fold 7 and didn’t want to trade in my pixel 10. I got so many deals in the past, I have stuff I still use from, chargers, portable batteries, and more.

    Free Google One AI Pro - 1 year trial

    Interesting, I already have the plan they're offering; I'm assuming it's from last year. It's overkill for me, as I'm only using 1% of the 2 TB.

    Google Messages

    All my pictures/gifs in Messages have been transferred over and have been through several phone switches. I also used the scan method, but didn't transfer my apps. One of my apps changed, but I figured it out.

    eSim only - Hard pass

    They have great coverage, but I've always had issues with them. I activated a prepaid plan with my iPad with an eSIM. Two weeks later, I had no service. Several phone calls and a visit to the store revealed that my number had been deactivated and reassigned to a business line. This is after...
