S21 T-Mobile (and former Sprint) Pre-order, anyone else?

I ordered 2 gray S21's today with upgrade to 256gb and trading in a S9 and a S9+. I will pay $50 each for the upgrade spread over 24 months. I didn't have to make any deposit, only being charged upfront for the sales tax.

256 is only available in Black...You need to double check that
 
CSR said gray and my confirmation email invoice said gray 256gb. I guess I will have to wait and see what color arrives.

No everything is right. The small S21 comes in 256 gray. and the S21+ and Ultra come in 256 Black. Of course if you get the unlocked ones from Samsung you could get the S21+ in gold and red 256gb I beleive.
 
I'm definitely going to preorder soon. When I went to the Tmobile site, looking at the s21+ it said $250 down payment. Because i want the 256gb. But when i logged into my Acc and looked again it said no down payment this time. So i guess that $250 is going to be spread out over 2 years which is gonna add about $10 onto my existing bill which is freaking awesome. Trading in my s9 btw. I really wanted the Ultra, But i went to Bestbuy and played with each and the Ultra is great but its a bit heavy and with a case on it it might be too much for me to carry comfortably around. The + though was beautifully crafted, thin but with the right weight and the flat screen with the almost flat sides made holding the phone a pleasure. The camera on the Ultra is amazing but on the S21/+ its marginally better then the s20.

Anyways did anyone do the preorder from Tmobile and get that 50% off buds pro offer they had? I saw it in Tmobile release when the S21 was announced. But its not anywhere on the page for the preorder from Tmobile. I talked to a Tmobile chat and they said it had to be done in stores or through a sales person but that usually adds$20 because a real person helped you buy. but still $120 for the new buds isnt bad. of course you could use the samsung credit to get it for free.

I sometimes wonder if I should of gotten the plus cause the Ultra is so big. I loved the Violet color and wish the plus had a 512 version. But I wanted the camera features of the Ultra and the WQHD 120 Adaptive which is new to us coming from S10+. I really wanted to see a comparison of cameras from the 10+ to the 21+ but in the end I just chose the Ultra 512 cause Hubby said if we upgrade it's gonna be a while before we upgrade again and I wanted the best and especially with no SD card I wanted 512.

The + to the Ultra is not that big in sizes. Its a few mm her and there. Yes the Violet is great, the whole S21 series has a great finish to them.
Its odd that anything above 128gb comes in mostly black. I wanted the Silver Ultra in 256gb but nope. You will be amazed with the S21 ultra cameras compared to the S10+. At least the zoom quality you will. Just stop by Bestbuy or a carrier store and check them out. get a feel for them.

Reading all these forums has got me torn now between the ultra and the +

Thanks! My plan was to swing by Best Buy today before work but I am still on hold with Samsung about my order being on hold and I don't have time now. They are giving me a hard way to go and I am getting frustrated. But I still think I will be ok as long as I have my popsocket to help me hold the phone. I know the ultra camera compared to S10+ but the 21+ compared to the 10+ is what I was wondering cause I really liked the Violet and was upset to see in the 512 I only had the black option. But I'll have a case on it and the black is a pretty black.
 
I wonder if they will ship early every year Spring usually ships phones about 4 days before release date

From your mouth... ;)
I asked above if 01/29 is the release date or arrival date.

Love how it is such a small window between order and release these days.
I remember it used to be like 6 weeks between the two which was forever.

Mav. :cool:
 
Yea it's better now considering how fast we got to pre order also. I actually saw the ultra today at Betsbuy and wow incredible design

Was just thinking that today. A two week wait is much more tolerable than previous time frames.

In store only from what I heard so far. Online check out won't show discount rate.

I too did the trade-in via TMo with the S9. I will give it to my wife, as I love my S20FE with the mSD slot
 
I preordered the 256 Black Ultra from the Sprint website on Jan 15. My order is still pending, with a shipping estimate Feb 17-March 2. Such a long wait...
