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

[johnatthebar]

Just got an email from UPS, next day air delivery for tomorrow for my ultra 256s. Finally.

What day did you place your order? We ordered an Ultra 256 and a +128 on the 16th and today the estimated ship date went from 2/4-2/11 to 2/15+3/1. Not the ideal direction.

You sign up for it in the shop Samsung app

How do u get the Samsung $200 credit I forgot

Yes it feels really nice without the case. Also fingerprints are practically none existent with the matte black. I just wish I was brave enough to go caseless

Anyone love the feel of the phone without the case as much as I do? I'm not reckless enough to rock it without a case, but damn if I don't love the feel of it on my hand without one! And looking at the screen caseless

My Spigen case is good for making the phone lie on a surface flat and nicely. But I do wonder if not using it would make the phone feel less bulky. Perhaps I'll take it out of the case every so often to see if that works out better?

I ordered the Ultra 512 last Saturday and received a 2/4-2/17 arrival time estimate. I was shocked when they sent it out on the 28th!

He ordered through Sprint I guess it's different for those of us who water through T-Mobile

The 512 models seem to be going out quickly. The 256 Ultra however seem to be going out sporadically and in limited numbers. Still dunno how/why line got pushed back yesterday farther than the date that's even on the website.

Wow lucky you! We're on Verizon and the 512 is popular none of us their is like 2 others plus me and my husband have ours yet from Samsung. Was supposed to be yesterday. Now it's delayed and their is no delivery date on our orders anymore online. I just looked up Best Buy and it says the one near me has 2 of the 512's but than I would lose out on the free buds the extra $60 in accessories and they just gave me another $50 for our troubles cause my husband took off work yesterday expecting the phone.

I asked a Sprint CSR via chat why my expected ship date (256gb black ultra) of 2/17-3/2 was different than the listed date of 2/9-2/23 on the sales page. He said that my order page would be updated with the sooner dates within a couple hours. That was yesterday morning, and it didn't happen. LOL. I kind of got my hopes up. Poor CSRs don't really know anything.

And yet, I asked another one the same question today and got a cryptic "there has been a change and we hope you should get an email in a few business days". So I still choose to hope.

Do have any other devices on that same order? I just realized that on my TMO order they pushed by my S21+ 128 even further because my S21 Ultra 256 was pushed back.

Got my 512 yesterday

 

[Piggy winks]

did anyone use their credit yet on Shop Samsung? If so, did the Smarttag get applied? My email said it would be added automatically at checkout, but after I put in the order for my Buds Pro, I don't see anything in the order. I will find out I guess on Tuesday when it comes in.

Got my 512 yesterday

Which Carrier or was it unlocked and did you buy from Samsung? Husband just got notification his was shipped but no info yet with the tracking number his cancel button went away a few days ago. Mine just went away this morning and no shipping info at all.

 

[rcab]

I bought 2 S21 from T-Mobile and got 2 credit codes. I used the credit to apply against a watch for my wife. I had to add the smart tag as an item. I only got credit for one smart tag. I will have to wait and see if 2 smart tags arrive next week.

Yeah, it was definitely a pleasant surprise! I waited a bit late in the game for some of the reviews to come out. So by the time I pulled the trigger, I didn't mind waiting a bit longer as a result.

The woman over the phone did initially tell me it would be shipped before the 29th though, which only reflected on the order screen intially before going to a February date. Whatever the reason was though (more inventory, etc.), I'm glad they were able to get it out not long after the payment went through!

My smart tags were in my cart, i didnt have to add them. My receipt also had them on there.

According to TMobile, the ultra is still on backorder and will ship to me 2/5 - 2/12. It's annoying because it's on stock at my local TMobile store.

 

[durandetto]

I got approved 30 minutes after I entered it, and got the code the following day or two. Already ordered my Buds Pro. Ended up with Gov/Edu discounts and credits to be $41 shipped.

Its in the Inbox I believe. you will see the status, but I got an email with the code.

I hope the buds pro fit your ears better than mine. Absolutely the worst fitting galaxy buds I've had. Tried all 3 tips and they constantly fall out of my ears while I'm working out.
