Ohhhh yeah! Black.

I hope the $130 down for JOD peeps, gets eliminated before the preorder starts. I think it was the N7 where they made JOD peeps pay a down payment like EIP, only to reverse it the next day.

Is this price considered ok? Not familiar with US price

I will be pre-ordering in Black, but sucks living on the West coast, gonna have to wake up a little early.

Yes they did change the JOD to $0 but if you went that route then it upped your monthly payment by about $7, so either way you were still paying it. Pre-ordered the Note7 and went through that mess and ended up with a S7 Edge which is ok but I was never thrilled with it because it's what I had to compromise for so I'm really looking for ward to the S8 Plus. I'll probably upgrade to the next Note variant when that comes out

Re: Official: Galaxy S8+ Pre-order thread

S8+ in black for me, may not be preordering this time though, I'll see what offers are about first. Pre-orders are already open in the UK through the Samsung store and I'm a bit disappointed that they aren't offering anything with it like the vr with the S7. I'm sure someone else will though.

Re: Official: Galaxy S8+ Pre-order thread

With not much of a difference in the camera, I am now thinking about the pre-order. The camera specs are the same as they are available in the S7 variants. Even the software seems like you can get along nicely with the S7 nougat update. Will wait for more hands-on reviews. Another biggest factor is pricing....

Re: Official: Galaxy S8+ Pre-order thread

My pre-order is in. Official launch is the 28th over here (Swe) but pre-orders get theirs on the 19th.
Got an Orchid Grey +

Re: Official: Galaxy S8+ Pre-order thread

I wonder how they would handle pre-orders on T Mobile if I want to switch from ATT... The two unlimited lines at 100 bucks straight up sounds very delicious. And having an S8+ on a carrier who does not over bloat the phone would be nice...

Yep it was the Note 7 and they got a ton of backlash for it. Surprised they are going to try and push it again and it's even higher down payment this time.

You are only still paying it if you keep the phone the entire lease. If you Jump again in 6 months, you would have paid considerably less by having a higher monthly payment vs a down payment and lower monthly.

Re: Official: Galaxy S8 Pre-Order Thread

So much for Coral Blue at launch, apparently. Got excited when it was part of the presentation today, but all the pre-order links only show Black, Silver, and Orchid. I'll probably go with Silver, but wonder how soon Best Buy will have them on display in stores to see how they really look.

Re: Official: Galaxy S8+ Pre-order thread

Looks like best buy has some kind of deal going.

Re: Official: Galaxy S8+ Pre-order thread

I was planning on getting one but with a lot of contemplating, I decided to wait for the Note 8 and see what Samsung will do with that. There isn't too much of a change with the S8 for me to want to get it but it's definitely a great phone on the market.

Want one from Verizon.

Re: Official: Galaxy S8+ Pre-order thread

Just found the S8+ pricing per month on the AT&T next program is less than what i'm paying for my S7E. So yah i'll be getting that sweet Black S8+!!

I am disappointed that the headphone are over the ear phones. I was hoping for some in ear buds. Still a good deal for 99 bucks with the headphones and SD Card.
