ESR??

User Mike Dee posted some discount codes for ESR cases. I ordered the clear one with the kickstand.

This year I am not going crazy buying accessories. I will re-use the SD card in my Note 10 plus. I loved the Ghostek

case I bought for my note 10+ (save my phone from a couple of hard drops), so I will order one for the Note 20 Ultra. If the Note 20 Ultra comes with the pre-installed screensaver, I won't buy any glass screen protectors. I got a couple for the Note 10+ that I never even used.

If I go with the tmobile version(purchased from samsung.com) how can I get it unlocked if I say wanted to travel out of the country?

OMGGggg remember that?? The 512gb took forever I remember and the stupid thing was I only had the 128gb one but I didn't get mine until the 512s started shipping like around October. I was so angry - took 2 months.

Yup and after that I was so pissed I told myself I would never put myself through pre-ordering and the stress again. But here we are...

Not sure how you're coming to that conclusion. With trade in, you get 650, so you finance 650 for 36 months at $18.05. if you trade in at 12 months and get 50% trade in value, you still owe 433.40. With the buy back program, you get 500 on trade so you finance 800 at 40 months at 20 per month. If you upgrade at 12 months you get 650 trade in value and you still owe 560. You come out of pocket either way. But you start off $150 behind with the buy back program as you don't get as much for your current phone, you get higher payments, and her more at the end. I still don't get where anyone stands to benefit. Last year's upgrade program was fine as the payment plan was the same, and you don't have to click the link to use it when it becomes available. At best, it might come in handy if you trade in closer to the 20 month mark, but then it assumes the phone value will drop by 150 from 12 to 20 months (and that's just to break even) It's a little unclear to me what happens beyond 20 months, but if you're only planning to upgrade to a note phone you trade in at about 12 months or at about 24 months (assuming the next 2 iterations fall close to the same launch dates).

I got the 512gb, not the 128. You are assuming Samsung will continue to give these trade offers, that is not guaranteed.

I have the ability to get that $725 back whenever I want, not just when or if Samsung is offering good trade in deals. I've been messed over before so I prefer the flexibility. Also, I got the 512 GB for $872. With the non guaranteed trade in and higher buy back on the Note 10+ option it is $799. Which makes the 40 month financing for the $872 $21.80 a month versus $22.19 for the $799 at 36 months. Its basically the same and I'd prefer the flexibility and guarantee. Add in the $90 from Rakuten and I'm paying $782 for a phone I'm guaranteed to get $725 back for. I'm fine with that option.

Isn't getting a deal on something you like awesome?

I was curious what my final out of pocket cost will be with everything and it will be around $166 give or take. #EverydayImHustlin

Edit: The Note9 was bought from Amazon, not eBay.

 

[Lecrae116]

Anyone had whole or part of their preorder ship? The buds live are available on Amazon and people are already using them

 

[DoyouFanBoyBro]

Bought the note 20 ultra. Unlocked. With the watch and buds off Samsung website with a deal.

I gotta say. It's a little annoying that the watch and buds have not shipped when they are available everywhere else. I won't be doing this again.

 

[jadenerd]

My guess is they don't want to ship the accessories that you bought with the pre-order credit and then have you cancel the phone.

Last year they did.

Maybe they learned a lesson with all the returns minus accessories

None of the discounts you mention apply to the trade-in deal?

 

[james702283]

Even if you used the 10% on the $799 after 650 trade in it is $719. Which equates to less than $2 a month difference because of the 36 vs 40 month financing. Then you factor in the fact you are getting slightly less from rakuten because of the lower total the difference is about $20 over the course of 12 months. For $20 I'd rather have the peace of mind and flexibility to get back most of what I paid anytime I want over the next 20 months.

I spend more on cases while waiting
