And Suddenly there was SILENCE???

[jimd1050]

Since just about August 5th/6th, the Note 9 Forum has grown REALLY quiet - I keep checking back to see what's going on, but I imagine like a lot of other folks (could be wrong), everyone is over on the Note 20/Note 20 Ultra Forum, reading stuff there! That's where I've been spending a TON of time... because - I gave in and ordered a Black, 512GB Note 20 Ultra. Samsung was offering $550 for my Note 9 plus another $150 in Accessory Credits... couldn't pass it up after skipping the Note 10 and the S20! I've had my Note 9 since "Intro Day", 8/9/18 I think? Should have my "20" Ultra by 8/21 with a pair of white Galaxy Buds Live for the $150 "Acc Credit" Cash (+$19)

I think that for most who have used the Notes for some time, the 'deal' coming through Sammy is quite attractive. Being a Note 9 aficionado, I've thought about jumping to the Note 20 Ultra and I could easily do it, but I'm not that much enjoying Sammy as a company due to the way they handle their customer service. In my opinion, they're worse than Comcast and that's saying a lot. I think their moving to three year's of OS Updates is a fine move, advocated here on this very forum, for a long time. Honestly, they should have included the Note 9 in this move as both the hardware and software can handle another year! My Note 9 is running beautifully, has everything I need or use in a phone! Some folks here know I'm not a jumper, and have no problems with those that jump every six months from an S to a Note and visa versa. Its always their money, so be it. Maybe in a year, I'll move to a Note 21, go to a Pixel or head to iOS, OMG. In the meantime, I'll rock the Note 9 under VZ extended warranty, enjoy the almost always used 3.5mm Jack, if need be, have a new factory battery installed. For the folks who have moved to the 20 Ultra, enjoy your new ride and have fun!

I only view recent posts when I come to the forums, I never look into individual forums except on the rare occasion I ask something.

Personally still using the Note 8 and Note 9, I won't upgrade right now because of the mess COVID-19 caused.

I agree with everything you say about the Note 9 and have had and used mine exclusively, as I said in my OP, since release day 8/9/18... that's 2 years, not 6 months! I figured I was due...

I finally gave my Note 9 to its new owner yesterday. I'm sticking with my Note 10 Plus until the Note 21 Ultra comes out. Hopefully I'll like THAT. I won't check Note 9 threads anymore.

Later... enjoy the new Toy when it comes! Maybe catch you over there on the Note 20/Note 20 Ultra Forum!

Nope. I bought an iPhone 11 Pro Max a month ago(Decided not to buy the iPhone 12 Pro Max). To use with my Note 10 Plus.

The deals being offered, even by carriers are hard to pass up on the N20 and Ultra. I didn't preorder, but will look at some further deals later since my Note 9 is paid off and I have more options.

I don't think jumping every phone is worth it with the incremental updates now. But every 2 phones can be worth it and I see that in the 20 Ultra from the 9.

That was my thought Deb... "Two Years" was a long time to remain patient... even at my age!!! (70)

Still rocking my Note 9. I always check in to the Note 9 to see what's going on.

I'll be sending my Note 9 back, as part of my trade in with Samsung for the Note 20 Ultra - it's a wonderful phone.

See you on the other side.

Note 9 was great for awhile, but I've been having horrible battery life issues (20% per hour drain and can't find out why) for the last 2 months.

Just pulled the trigger on the Note 20 Ultra 512gb as it was a no brainier with the $550 trade in and my monthly payment going down $20/month.

Getting it next week. Will miss the headphone jack as i have some good wired headphones ( V Moda and Klipsch) but i did get the AKG wireless headphones with my Note 9 pre-order and may get the new buds live with my Note 20 pre-sale credit.

Looking forward to the better camera and bigger battery!
