"I've ordered my Galaxy S6" (Order & Shipping Discussion)

Just picked up a white 64GB from Verizon today. Between 2 corporate stores, 1 authorized retailer and 2 Best Buy stores there were only two of this color/storage combo available. 3 of them had plenty of the black sapphire in 64 but the white seems harder to find. Nonetheless it's time to retire my Droid DNA to emergency backup status after this post.

Glad to hear it. Hope you enjoy it.
 
I ordered a Verizon Gold 128 on 4/1 at around 1:00am. So, I should be close to the top of the list. Verizon originally promised shipping by 5/1. On 4/30 I called them and they said it would ship 5/1. End of day 5/1 I called and they said "Oh, those won't be shipping until 5/8".

When I griped about it they offered a $20.00 bill credit. I wonder if when they don't ship on 5/8 I'll get another $20.00.

It does seem though that the least they could do is send out an email about the postponed ship date.
 
Re: The Official "I HAVE PREORDERED" Thread...who preordered?

You may not get the most objective answer. In the USA, AT&T.
You are right. Because in my experience it's either between sprint and tmobile with the slight edge to t mobile.

Losing patience with AT&T's "preparing to ship" status on my 32GB Gold S6.
 
Third delivered 128GB Black Saphire S6 from Verizon. All three had home button blemishes. Shouldn't a new phone come scratch free?

Sounds like time to jump to TMO. They are covering ETF up,to $650. Not sure if that is for one line. Might solve some other issues.
 
Just a heads up if you still haven't received yours. I had the same color/storage (gold 32GB) on order from AT&T and called yesterday to find out they were on backorder. I canceled my order and went with the 64GB gold S6 instead.

Edit: I thought I quoted this but it was for "linebusy" above.
 
This is my first post here, migrating over from CrackBerry. I love my Z10, but it's 2 years old now and I don't see any practical upgrades available any time soon from BlackBerry (at least not on VZW). I was intrigued by the BlackBerry slider they showed at MWC, but again who knows when it will come out and if it will even be available on VZW. So this morning, I ordered a black 128GB S6 edge. Was intrigued by the gold but hadn't seen it in person and Verizon won't have that version until 5/1. Bad enough that I have to wait an extra week for the 128GB version.

Was going to order from BestBuy to get the free wireless charger, but I got an email from Verizon offering me "$100 or more" if I ordered it from them and traded in my old smart phone.

Welcome to Android Central. Came over from Crackberry in 2012 with the GS3. The GS6 is by far the best smartphone I have ever owned. Hit us back with feedback when you get your device.
 
Has anybody bought an S6 from either Verizon's website or a store? I'm considering ordering mine from Best Buy since they're only charging $199 plus tax, whereas Verizon's milking customers for not only the $199 but a stupid Samsung rebate card for $49, an upgrade fee of $40 (due upon completing order), and tax! The total comes to about $318. This is completely outrageous. I've been ordering my phones from their website then activating it myself, but this time's going to be different. I'll either order it from Best Buy for pickup or Amazon for the same price.

You should be enjoy the camera. On AT&T, battery life has been no issue for me. However, it all depends upon your usage habits and device setup. There is an extensive device tweak thread by erasat. Rapid charging and wireless charging work great. Hope you enjoy it. Hit us back with questions or feedback.
