Sprint S8 / S8+ pre-order discussion.

[durandetto]

Starting a thread for my fellow sprint users preordering the s8 plus. I plan to order the black one as soon as sprint will let me.

Hoping for a better experience than I had with the note 7. Happy to get back to Samsung after a short stint with the v20. Don't get me wrong the v20 is a solid device, but I miss my Samsung's.

Pre ordered a black one from Sprint this morning. Their website says it'll ship by 4/17. Hopefully that's true

Re: Sprint S8+ pre-order discussion.

I ordered the black one at around 1 am. I saw that shipping date as well, but in my confirmation email it said 4-21 so I guess we'll see.

Now it's time to figure out cases. Has anyone ordered the OtterBox defender? I'm glad to see it's actually available unlike for the note 7 where it became available right before the recalls hit. I had the Supcase Unicorn Beetle pro, which wasn't bad just a little thinner than I want for work. The price is right, at $15 though.

Just read that email, mine says 4/21 as well.
I think I'll go with a case that has a kickstand for a change. Was looking at the spigen Ultra Hybrid S

Not sure if you've owned any Spigen cases before, but they are great quality and look good too.

Pre-ordered with Sprint and just ordered the Spigen Ultra Hybrid S (the one with the kickstand).
Will probably order a Seidio Surface case and holster as well.
Wonder if the Spigen will fit the Seidio holster?

It made me pay $10 for next day shipping so of it ships 4-17 I better get it 4-18. I'm still holding out hope they ship earlier like the g6.

Yep, had one on the Note 7. Loved it. Before then I always had an Otterbox on my phones but it just seemed so bulky on the Note 7. That would have been a waste of $$.

Sprint made me pay the $10 shipping charge as well.

Ordered a S8 for the wife and a S8 plus for me. Had to pay 10.86 for shipping and taxes. Had the Note 2, Note 4, and using the Note 5 the past year.

Ordered a silver S8 Plus on the 1st. Hoping I see it in time to grab the $99 deal on the headsets and SD card.

Re: Sprint S8+ pre-order discussion.

I like how the Sprint pre-order thread is low-key and light whereas the T-Mobile one and others are full of complaints and bellyaching.
Hope to have mine 2 weeks from today. Give or take.

P.S. I love the Otterbox Symmetry series but $50?? Yikes!!

Their galaxy forever deal got me. Can get the newest one every year. Going to miss the Note series though.

Re: Sprint S8+ pre-order discussion.

I pre-ordered on Sprint last night. I have one in a BestBuy too. I am not a 2 pre-order kind of guy but I was on Sprints site last night and they put two phones on an unlimited data plan for $80/mo. I don't see this plan available anywhere else. Does anyone know what this is? I see no lower than $90 and that is for new customers...

Sounds like they did an Unlimited Everything plan ($60 for the first line, $40 for the second), then applied a $10 loyalty credit per line.
