S8 Active $150 off at Samsung.Com, with an additional $150 in trade-in rebates possible.

[anneoneamouse]

CORRECTION: Max rebate is 300, not 450. Edited title too; apologies for any confusion.

Ordered one Friday evening, but they're back-ordered.

Trading in an S5, valued at $150 trade in.

$549 total price.

Hope this helps,

AoN.

My guess is that Samsung had shipped all their stock out to AT&T for release-day.

Has anyone's shipped yet? Mine is still on Backorder, ordered Sunday.

 

[Centerman66]

Anybody see any movement from back ordered status?

 

[Centerman66]

I hear a lot of crickets.

Mine is off backorder, says confirmed now, was hoping it would have shipped already. With the Essential phone due, I am having second thoughts on this guy now.

That's why I just walk into my AT&T Store... I hate ordering from anywhere when it comes to phones. Put it in my hand and I'll give you my money please!!!

I would have if not for the $300 discount.

Yeah, it looks like Samsung is going to offer some trinkets with Pre-orders of the Note 8 also that may not be available from the Carriers either. 256GB SD Card and either a wireless charger or a 360 degree camera is what Evan Blass is saying!

EDIT: Now 256GB Card and Wireless Charger OR 360 Degree Camera - Sorry!

I just returned my active and ordered the essential. Nothing wrong with the active. Worked great and the flat screen was amazing. Just like to try new things. That and I grew tired of the size. No regrets though buying the active. You'll enjoy it I'm sure.

How long did it take to go from backorder to confirmed?

 

[Centerman66]

Mine took a day and a half to move from ordered to confirmed. Not even sure what confirmed means.

 

[Centerman66]

Apparently it means nothing. Just got an email saying the active is back ordered.

 

[brancross]

so is it unlock if you purchase directly from Samsung?

 

[Centerman66]

No. AT&T version.

I don't think you'll see any "Unlocked" units until after they release to other Carriers - probably November/December?

 

[socal]

Hoping November for black Friday specials.

 

[Centerman66]

Honestly. How can samsung be out of stock of the S8 active!? Has anyone gotten an active thru samsung that actually delivered?

 

[Centerman66]

Samsung customer service (for what it is) just told me back orders are going to ship in 5-7 days. Let's see if they are good on their word.
