My T-Mo Note 8 has the same date.
But I am also a former Note7 owner and Samsung says the former Note7 owner will get it earlier than others.

Assuming you are trading in Phone? You will want to pay it off first

So am I. But I didn't get that screen. My items gave me an exact delivery date. Not a ship date.

Ok thanks. I've never pre ordered direct from Samsung before how does it work once I get the new phone do I just switch the SIM card over and I'm good to go or would I have to go into att and get it all set up?

A sim should already be inside unless you got it unlocked. If that's the case with you getting an unlocked model you can get a micro sim from your carrier online or go into the store.

Will all Verizon features work on the unlocked version or would you get the Verizon model? The unlocked seems to be actually cheaper

 

[trunge19]

Ok I would be ordering the att version. So it will come with a att SIM card inside and I will not have to do anything else? My att bill will continue to go on as normal? Or do I have to let them know I switched phones.

Most likely your phone will activate it self when you first turn it on, no call nessary if that happens properly

Or put your sim in it from your other phone.

I ordered the unlocked and went with the VR camera, got the full $425 discount. Great deal.

Bummed that unlocked only comes in black, I wanted the grey. Whatever. This phone is only a hold over till the LG V30/Pixel XL 2 hit the shelves anyway.

I did this with them last year. Just move your sim card from your current att phone to your new one.

everything you do when you buy from ATT directly will e the same process. you have to register the phone, it will come with sim but you can use your old sim if its the same size.

does samsung have any deals like carriers do or best buy? besides the free camera or charger/sd card combo? Honestly at this point financing isnt an issue since all carriers essentially finance the phone for you to make payments on.

Please don't quote me, but I did talk to a Samsung rep and T-Mobile and here is what I got from them. T-Mobile always does their own promotion with a certain item related to the preorder phone. As listed on their website TMobile customers will get the 360 camera with their pre-order. Now on Samsung's website They show a choice between the camera or the wireless charger, but that's when you order from them so that has nothing to do with each carrier and what their offer is going to be when you pre-order so if your carrier is offering one or the other then when you go to Samsung's website to register it will show what your carrier offer is and you will get the other from Samsung as their promotion.
I didn't want the camera so if this info is correct I will still get the wireless charger from Samsung....
