Official: Galaxy S8 / S8+ Pre-Order Thread

[co.ag.2005]

i pre-ordered through samsung, also ordered the $99 vr experience bundle $996.39. i used an ebates offer and will get $141 back from them and then hope to sell all items from the experience bundle (except the sd card) for about $100. that will get my total cost down to $755

you must have got ebates on the 14% off day I pre-ordered on the 30th with ebates but it was only 4%, so I'm getting like $32 or something like that. Also, I chatted with samsung support today, and they said the immersive bundle will ship with the phone, which is nice. I'm excited to try the headphones and give VR a run for the first time. Will likely sell the sd card and VR (if I don't really care for it) to help recoup costs.

Sounds like you got all this down. Nice!

So for all the people who ordered at best buy...is there any catch with the preorder deal? I've heard nightmare stories from people who have preordered with them before.

I've pre-ordered my last three phones with BestBuy...never had a problem. This is my first time pre-ordering for delivery, since I knew I would be out of town on S8 launch day. Other times I've done it in-store for store pickup and each time phone was available when they opened on launch day.

Anyone see any other rumors of when we might actually receive the phones?

I just got an email from Verizon that my preorder of the S8 was cancelled. WTF!! not sure how that happened but on the phone with them now to fix this.

Update: Supposedly the Fraud dept cancelled the order but they don't know why it was done either. So the Rep I talked to is going to call me back in an hour and place the order again...ugh!

I have it on good authority that you should have it in your hands by the third Thursday of April.
