I was looking to buy it sim free for £699....I was so tempted to preorder from carphone over the phone yesterday as they promised a free VR headset whilst on the phone to them but as i was on the phone their website updated and i noticed that it said VR was only given to contract deals on the note 7.
I knew it was bad news, they also said that you dont get email confirmation if you purchase over the phone so i had no proof if one didnt arrive and neither will anybody else!
Anyway, id also signed up at samsung the day it was announced and was one of the first thousand apparently lmao (yeah right).
I set my alarm for 5:55am and copped the black version. They said that the first 1000 people to order were to receive a free VR but i wasnt holding my breathe albeit i was quick. Upon seeing £739 i did hesitate but thought whats another £39 on top of the already insane £700, especially if im actually getting confirmation of this purchase (im looking at you carphone).
Proceeded to buy, then checked my order status and saw that they had added the new Samsung VR headset and a Samsung case for the note 7... so all in all not too bad. im guessing that equals at least £130 in itself. I also noticed that carphone wont even allow people to preorder sim free on their website at the moment and samsung has since sold out on preorders due to retaining stock for launch as supply is set to outweigh demand.
**** i never type this much but yeah, roll on aug 30th!
