Midnight Black?

[droidguy918]

Any word on whether the note 9 will be available in black in the US? I find it unbelievable that you can't get it here. Even if i buy it another way and have it shipped here, it will not have a warranty, and given that i just sent my wife's note 8 in for warranty repair, that's not an option. I need a new phone, but for $1000, I'm not going to settle for less than what i want

I've only owned black phones for last 10-15 years with the exception of a white note 4. I to almost didn't buy the note 9. Wanted to wait for the us black version. But I broke down and bought the ocean blue and decided I really like it. Although my black case covers it up and you wouldn't know it was blue beside a very little showing through where the camera is.

I have communicated with Samsung via live chat on their website three times, asking directly if they intend to release a black note 9 to the US (I need a CDMA compatible phone as a Verizon customer). The first two times their rep said without equivocation they were going to do so but had no date. The last time I asked the rep said there were no such plans......

I can't believe Sammie decided to not release a black note in the US, and for that matter in each and every market.

I love Samsung products, but the marketing games they play are not cool, especially when buying a $1000.00+ phone

I am hoping they release a black note at Thanksgiving.........

How would chat reps have any idea what Samsung's marketing plans are?

good point, however there is no one else to ask, but Samsung itself

I too was hoping for black. Picked up the blue one and am digging it. Bough a clear case for the first time ever to show it off.

I also was disappointed in not being able to get the black version but I ended up loving the blue yellow combo. I'm not a huge blue fan but this particular blue is bad @##

I think it's funny how so many of us were disappointed in not having black, now we all seem to love our blues. I wasn't happy when I found out no black. I always use a case, but I was going to get a black dbrand skin for the areas not covered by a case. Now, I'm really enjoying the blue. I have a UAG Plasma case in ash. It's perfect for me. I'm loving the shade of blue through the case in certain light, but also looks black in darker light.

I want to exchange my blue for the black. What am I going to do?

I got over the color thing pretty quick. Black would have been very nice. However, it's a leased phone. If I was buying a car, it would be a a different story.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think I read that the silver will only be available at bestbuy and samsung.com while black will be available with all major carriers along with Samsung.com and bestbuy. I might have misread tho.

No love for Cloud Silver?

Not once the black was announced.

If it's still in mint condition, then depending on when and where you got it, you might be able to exchange it and pay a restocking fee. If not, you could sell it on eBay or Swappa and buy a new one. Or you could put a case on it and conceal the color. Or ignore it.

I don't use a case, but even so I don't see the back of my phone when I use it. It was different a few years ago when a phone's color also appeared on the large bezels on the front.

That's probably correct. The article was kind of confusing.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one that thought that lol
