    My TMobile Note8 does not turn on!

    I would agree. However, I have never tried Smartswitch. I'm afraid of copying over spyware if that's possible. The only thing I imported were my contacts directly from my saved. vcf file.

    Unlocked Note 8 from samsung work on sprint ?

    I was able to activate mine on Boost Mobil without previously having an account. I got the SIM Kit from Best Buy and it came with 3 SIM Cards. But you might have to go into a Sprint store and see what they say. But they would have to check the IMEI number, I believe. I have the Unlocked version...

    Gallery lag

    I don't have any lag in the gallery, so far. My pictures, about 4 GB, are on the SD Card, also. I started with a fresh SD Card and formatted it with my desktop computer and then coppied my pictures onto it. So far, the gallery on this phone is much faster than my previous one. You could copy...

    Samsung freebies, which did you choose and how did you submit it?

    I submitted mine on 9/15 and mine says 6-8 weeks, also. The e-mail said it should ship around 11/6/2017. I also requested the SD Card and Charger.

    BestBuy: Galaxy Note 8 Pre-Order Thread

    Well, I'm happy to report that I received my phone yesterday evening. I'm still working on setting it up. I thought I was going to be disappointed getting the Midnight Black instead of the Orchid Gray, but the black is fine since I have it in a case. I had really wanted the Orchid Gray, but I...

    BestBuy: Galaxy Note 8 Pre-Order Thread

    I also finally got an e-mail yesterday saying mine had shipped about 30 minutes after I got off the phone with Best Buy. I was surprised because when I spoke with them on the phone they didn't have any information. And then later yesterday evening I got an e-mail from UPS saying that it is...

    BestBuy: Galaxy Note 8 Pre-Order Thread

    I'm glad that people are getting their awesome phones!!! :-) I ordered the Note 8 on September 7, the unlocked black version, and they still won't ship mine. I've called Best Buy every single day this week and no one will do anything about my order. One supervisior said Samsung wouldn't let...

    BestBuy: Galaxy Note 8 Pre-Order Thread

    Well, mine still hasn't shipped as of 5:23 EST. 7 days "preparing." I've called Best Buy twice today. I found out mine is supposed to ship from Ohio. I'm in Michigan, so no possible excuse for the delay. One customer service rep claimed she passed my order on to a supervisor that was passing...

    BestBuy: Galaxy Note 8 Pre-Order Thread

    Yes. I am surprised, also. Have people been able to successfully use their unlocked phones with their current carrier?

    BestBuy: Galaxy Note 8 Pre-Order Thread

    epdean: I tried to quote your post, but it said I had "exceeded the spam threshold." But this is exactly how I feel. I'll be suprised if mine ships at all. As of 11:27 PM EST, it has not shipped. Mine was supposed to arrive by the 15th, also. But I called another Best Buy store. The...

    BestBuy: Galaxy Note 8 Pre-Order Thread

    I just called a Best Buy store near me and tried to find out if they will have the Unlocked version of the phone in the store on September 15, and she said "they won't know until the release date" and that "they're not allowed to tell the customers until that date." That is so crazy!!! But I'm...

    BestBuy: Galaxy Note 8 Pre-Order Thread

    I think you are right. I called Best Buy again today and they said the Unlocked Orchid Gray is definitely backordered. But the customer service rep insisted that the black one wasn't. I also called Best Buy credit service since I charged mine on their card. They said the charge was approved, but...

    BestBuy: Galaxy Note 8 Pre-Order Thread

    I just question whether or not they have enough to fill the "pre-orders" and are just buying time. As of 4:00 AM EST Tuesday, it still hasn't shipped. I was supposed to get mine by the 15th. But why keep taking pre-orders when you refuse to ship the orders you already have??? I can't even...

    BestBuy: Galaxy Note 8 Pre-Order Thread

    I'm glad to hear that yours shipped! :D As of 8:01 PM EST, my order still says "preparing." ... But I already filed my complaint with the BBB because it's absurd that new orders are shipping faster. Really, Best Buy... Really??? They should just be honest and state they have a whack...

    BestBuy: Galaxy Note 8 Pre-Order Thread

    I originally ordered the Unlocked Orchid Gray Note 8 on September 5, but cancelled and ordered the Unlocked Midnight Black on September 7 and mine still hasn't shipped. I've called Best Buy twice and they don't have anymore information. But it's crazy that other people that have just placed...
