Pre-Order date?

[Blues Fan]

No pre order for me. I have the s8 Plus which I really like so I can hold off and wait for the deals. If the phone is a grand it will make me seriously consider just picking up the Tab s3 when it's on sale again just to get an Spen.

I'm hoping after a couple months they start running sales and maybe I can get an unlocked Note 8 at a really good price like Best Buy and samsung.com had the unlocked models at good sale prices.

Since I got a big screen phone I can hold off a bit and not get raped on price. I was using the S7 edge before the s8 Plus and the small screen was driving me nuts.

I'm glad that you're happy with your phone. It seems to be the consensus. I played with it the day after Unpacked at a T-Mobile, but I knew it wasn't for me. I'm holding out for a hero (Note 8). LoL

of course I'd rather have the Note though. I've spent a few thousand on phones and a tablet over the last 16 months. I need to slow down. Eventually if the price is right I might bite! I would trade in my S7 edge towards it and keep the s8 plus as a backup phone.

WoW. That IS a lot of money. It's very fortunate that you can do that. This phone will be my last for a minute I think. I hope.

With your phone addiction you should be on JOD.

I bought the S7 last year. I then purchased the Note 7 and you know how that went and ended up with s7 edge. Then I bought an unlocked V20 but hated that. I then bought the S8 Plus. Also factor I spend over $100 on cases for each phone as well. I also bought a Tab s2 last year too.

I know how many phones you have gone thru that's why you should be on JOD. Then you are only out of pocket the monthly payment times how many months you keep the phone. So in the past 18 months, with average $30/month payment, you are out of pocket $540 instead of thousands.

Can't help you with the cases. I haven't spent $100 on cases for my past 6 phones much less $100 on 1 phone.

I just let Samsung keep my credit cards. Then they just automatically send me stuff....

I wasn't able to get a S8, but that's cool because I only ever wanted a note. At this point though, a flip phone would be better than my S7 Edge.

Lol. Having some glitch problems? I grew to really be frustrated with my 7edge while I had it.

 

[amtrucker22]

When I got a loaner phone for the note 7 it was a S7 Edge. Did not like it at all. Got my Note7 back and then they recalled them for good. I then went to a Pixel. Was not happy with it and missed my stylus. Right now I am sporting a Note 5 until the 8 comes in...

Impatiently waiting....

Glitch would be an understatement. LoL The phone barely works. I tried to have a good relationship with it, but it doesn't seem as if we were compatible. I'm ready for the eventual break up.

From all the things I've read, it's the iPhone 8 coming out this year. Maybe apple didn't want to get behind Samsung's numbering to look old (one theory on why Samsung skipped the Note 6 number).

The iPhone 8 is supposed to be big, since its the 10th year anniversary of the iPhone launch. Apple is rumored to go all out on it. So Samsung needs a lead or something big to compete.

Wish I'd thought of your handle!

Not if he's keeping multiple phone's at a time. Who has an $850 phone as a backup? I think most people don't even have a backup phone. I don't.

When I got the s8 Plus I had 4 phones for a very short period of time. My dad's s5 finally too a crap so I sold him my S7 for $165. I then sold the unlocked V20 to Best Buy because I hated it. I now got the S7 Edge as a backup just to use in Gear VR. Eventually if I decide to get the Note 8 I'll unload the S7 Edge.

I wouldn't have this problem if they didn't recall the Note 7. I liked that phone. I'd be rocking that right now waiting for the Note 8.

People keeping multiple flagships at one time aren't going to complain about spending too much money on phones and tablets.

That's why I'm holding off a bit until I see a good deal on the Note 8 from either samsung.com or Best Buy when they get the unlocked models. I will trade in the S7 Edge and get $150-200 hopefully or sell it. I don't think my dad would buy it since he has the S7. Maybe I could try and get my mom to buy it for $275 lol.

There always seems to be some type of promotion to be had. Whether it is trade in a phone or get an item free (VR, SD Cards).

I tend to sell the 'freebies' to make some of my money back on full price.
