pre order or pick up in store?

[yankeesusa]

I say order at the store if you live near one and their reliable employees. Otherwise you're better off ordering online and getting bonuses.

Will pre-order UNLESS Best Buy has some exclusive promo that tempts me.

Unless they got some good pre-order promo, I'll wait til all the dust settles.

I know how exciting it would be to have the latest flagship from Samsung but isn't it practical to buy from a physical store? From that, you can have a test and feel of the phone before you buy it just to make sure that you really want to have an S8 or not.

You don't have to pre-order online. You can go to a store an do it. Best Buy usually has them out on display a week or two before public release if you want to play with the phones. I think that's what I'm going to do.

When the Note 7 came out, Best Buy had a dedicated Samsung guy that had a fully featured note 7 we were able to play with

I am going to shop around for prices first. And promo's second. So how much will the phone actually cost and what will you get with it. Pair those two and see what the best deal is for me and my needs. Best Buy usually has the best promo's. Let's see what happens this year...

For me though I can't go through Best Buy as I'm with T-Mobile. They still typically have decent deals and are very flexible with payment plans and payoff options, promos

I understand. I am with ATT. I would really like to just buy it outright unlocked. I wonder if that will be an option at launch. If not I guess I will have to go with the ATT version...

Unlocked at launch...would think buying outright would be $$

No doubt. I can afford it, but do I want to? Plus I can move to a different carrier if I want to if a better cellular plan deal comes along.

With all the promos they offer it makes sense to me to preorder. I got a free Gear S2 last year with my s7edge preorder. I'm hoping they do the watches again

Do you happen to have watch now? I have a gear S2 that I just ended up getting separately several months ago and enjoy it

Same for me. I'm also on TMO

Are you also using jump on demand

 

[Almeuit]

I always did the pre-order every time I could. Gets delivered to my doorstep with ease -- no battling traffic and people in the store.

I got a Gear S2 last year free when I got my S7E at ATT. I love it until the S3 came out. I got it because now I can use my watch to pay on Samsung Pay. I don't have to take my wallet or phone out. It is awesome!!!!

 

[EMGSM]

yeah. the last time i used it was with the Note 7 which i guess doesn't count

I don't need to test it or feel it. I already know I'm gonna buy it.
