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

[jcp007]

I have since received and returned my S6 for two reasons 1.) The battery life didn't work out for me 2.) My home button was off-centered; it's VERY noticeable. For a phone that I paid $800+ for; that type of build quality is unacceptable.

I would have done the same thing for the defect but exchanged it. As early adopters and given what Samsung tried to do with a major redesign, bugs are a part of it. I think that whatever it is, whether it be Lollipop or a Samsung update that the battery issue and possible Lollipop issues will be solved. It is a lot of money so whatever you chose, I hope it works out for you. If it's a lollipop issue, it won't matter what android device that uses it wil be affected.

Did that over the phone. It seems that the Best Buy person setup my phone and somehow I got changed to basic voicemail instead of visual voicemail.

I also called AT&T to make sure that my grandfathered unlimited data was intact and it was
So that stayed the same.

I have been a huge iPhone fan but wanted something new. I tried the S4 for a month but couldn't get into it. Just ordered a S6 hoping I enjoy it looking for something new.

Great to hear. I upgraded from the GS4 and have never looked back. Never regretted it. There is a great YouTube video by the DetroitBorg. It's a little long but you might find it helpful.

Just ordered my 64GB Black S6 from Amazon. Should be at the door tomorrow. I checked out the s6 edge at the AT&T store today and didn't care for how the edges felt while holding it, even though that was the one I wanted to get, so decided on the standard s6.

I agree. It has an awkward feel and not as solid and premium not to mention the cost is not justified as the edge functionality isn't the same as the GN4 and you get more storage on GS6 for the same price as the 32GB Edge model.

Is there any advantage to purchasing at a Best Buy, Verizon Store, or online? If I take the plunge I have all three options open to me. Not sure if there's any advantage to a particular place of purchase.

BestBuy rewards points may be an advantage.

I would go to Best Buy only if they off the free wireless charger and a good trade-in price. Otherwise, I would stick with the company store as, in person, you have little more control than getting it a your house and then possibly going to the store for an issue. Either place you choose, don't leave until you are absolutely happy with device.

Return it. Something may have happened when it was received at the store and handled by store employees.

 

[Stevez48]

It was a pre-order, not carried in store. That's all I hear from the stores, they aren't/don't carry 128, special order. So need to go through VZW directly. Yay! not. Might deal with it... But will call VZW when I get a chance. Everything else is perfect

Glad you like despite this issue. Talk to a manager and get them to ship to store.
