OFFICIAL: US Note 4 Avaliable Oct. 17th -- Preorders start Sept. 19th

So i preordered at the Verizon store, they were befuddled when I asked to preorder the Note 4, they said you can't yet until one person knew about it. You think they would be well versed on what is coming out on what day.

Anyways, they can't give me a trade-in-value for my droid until I turn it in. So how do I gather this info to be eligible to receive the Samsung pre-order offer? I know it is worth a whole $18 trade-in-value, but it gets me in the door for the $200 total savings...

So how is this done?

So how do I acquire the trade-in-value info if I have to hold on to my phone until I receive the new one? Can someone lead me in the right direction? Thank You.

I ordered at Verizon today and they thought I was wrong when I said the pre-order is today. Go figure...
 
Just pre ordered Note 4 from Verizon and have a couple of ?

Why on the first page does it say free overnight shipping and after you complete your order it changes to free 2 day shipping?

I also had an early upgrade available and they soaked me this new $30.00 upgrade fee. Is this just a new way for Verizon to rip you for an extra $30.?

Now, I wait...........................:p
 
Re: Just pre ordered Note 4 from Verizon and have a couple of ?

Verizon always charges upgrade (or activation fees if you're a new customer) when getting a new phone.
 
Re: Just pre ordered Note 4 from Verizon and have a couple of ?

The upgrade fee isn't new, Verizon implemented it over 2 years ago. If you don't want to pay the upgrade fee, then just don't upgrade at subsidized pricing. Otherwise, no way around it. And it isn't bad, relatively speaking, att charges a $40 upgrade fee.

Only when doing subsidized pricing. Buying a new phone on edge or full retail would avoid the upgrade fee. You are correct that Activation fees are charged for new lines of service.

There's no way that it costs $30 to activate a phone

I'm not a new customer. I usually pay full price for the latest phones and never heard of the $30. upgrade fee. I guess I'm getting a $400. discount and should not complain.

What's up with them switching shipping from overnight to 2 day?

No it doesn't, but it is a fee regardless. If you don't agree, like I said above, buy using another method, or move to another carrier.

Even I don't understand what that means.
 
Re: Galaxy Note 4 to be released on October 4 - Price $899

It means you don't get the rebate at all. I'm sure that's a typo. Just replace the word 'we' with the word 'you'

You need to purchase the device by providing the full amount if the trade in value is less than $10.

Trade it in when you get your Note 4. Trade in doesn't have to be on the same day as when you pre-order.
 
Re: Just pre ordered Note 4 from Verizon and have a couple of ?

I preordered two Note 4s this morning (one black, one white) that were upgrades. Did everyone else also receive the 'Ship by 10/23' message? AT&T is still showing 'Ship by 10/14', so I'm a bit puzzled as to why Verizon is 10/23 when I ordered first thing. Did anyone receive a 10/17 date from Verizon?

Mine is the same ship by 10/23 date. Verizon is always late to the game.
 
Re: Just pre ordered Note 4 from Verizon and have a couple of ?

I have not seen any Verizon people say they have a ship date before 10/23.
 
Re: Galaxy Note 4 to be released on October 4 - Price $899

how do you do the trade in process? Is there a webpage on carrier's website? (say AT&T)
Never done this before.
 
Re: Just pre ordered Note 4 from Verizon and have a couple of ?

Does anyone that pre ordered from Verizon show free overnight shipping or just free 2 day like mine?
 
Re: Just pre ordered Note 4 from Verizon and have a couple of ?

Mine also shows Free 2-Day shipping, despite the advertised Overnight Shipping. Lame, Verizon!
