Pre-order thread?

First up, T-Mobile says that customers can get up to $500 off any of the new Galaxy S20 phones after rebate when they trade in an eligible device. You’ll get up to $500 back, depending on trade-in device, via a Virtual Express Prepaid Mastercard card.

T-Mo is also offering up to $1000 off a second Galaxy S20 series phone when you buy one. To get this deal, you’ll need to buy two Galaxy S20 series devices on EIP and add a new line of service. New customers must add two new lines.

This deal is also available with the Galaxy S10 and Note 10 devices if you’d prefer one of those models instead of a Galaxy S20.

Finally, T-Mobile notes that customers will receive a Samsung.com credit when they pre-order a Galaxy S20 series phone. Customers who pre-order the S20 will get a $100 credit, S20+ buyers will get a $150 credit, and S20 Ultra buyers will get a $200 credit.

All of these deals are available to new and existing T-Mobile customers as well as T-Mobile for Business customers.

The Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20+, and Galaxy S20 Ultra will be available for pre-order starting tonight at 9:01 pm PT/12:01 am ET. They’ll be available in stores starting March 6th.

Looks like tmo will offer $300 trade credit for my S8 compared to the $200 through Samsung. I also have a Note 9, but I'm keeping it.

That's insane. I hope it's not as bad for EIP down payment for bad credit customers. Will T Mobile pre orders go live at midnight the 21st directly through their website just like Samsung direct?

9:01 pm PT/12:01 am ET according to my link I posted

Will be a straight forward simple pre order. 9 PM Pacific, will order US unlocked straight from Samsung with Note 10 trade in. No carrier nonsense for me

The hard part is the wait for the next 2 weeks.

still no TMobile JOD pricing?

totally bizarre how they are keeping Jump on Demand pricing such a "secret" at TMobile this time!

wonder why and wonder what's going on there.

That's how it's done! I never order from my carrier.

Exactly what I'm doing, I'm ordering the S20+ unlocked and trading in my S10... Which model are you buying?

512 GB US unlocked Ultra, but may decide to go 128 GB as well. But for now my mind is on the 512 GB model.

Already paying $700, what's another $200 going to hurt. Let's just go all in

I'm only trading the S10+ so its 800 or 1000 for me

It would depend on card speed

 

[Dualmonitors]

somehow, as much as i'm all ready to go the samsung.com route to buy the phone from samsung.com, i still am curious to now what the JOD prices are, just as a comparison.

How does the trade in credit work? I'd rather have $300 off at the time of pre-order than just a Virtual Express Prepaid Mastercard card. What are they thinking? That means we still pay full price for the phone.

Jokes aside, I’ll be perfectly fine with base model. 128 GB is plenty enough for me since i rely on cloud storage and 12 GB RAM is sufficient for the amount of time i keep this phone anyway. It just sucks at $1400 Samsung is putting 128 GB base and doesn’t feel right. I’m thinking another $200 with 512 GB and 16 GB RAM to be more justifiable cost? I don’t know I’m feeling if I’m paying that much i might as well go all in and get the top most spec. It's like the Apple model, make the base model not so desirable so that you are tempted to upgrade to next tier.
