Samsung (direct from them): Note 8 Pre-Order Thread

[Almeuit]

Please talk here if you're ordering unlocked/directly from Samsung!

If they'll take my Pixel XL in exchange for the Note 7 discount--I had 2--I'd order from them. Sigh. Guess I will be on my laptop/phone for a lot of tomorrow sorting out if that works or if it's back to Verizon, who will only give me a little over half that in tradein for it.

Sammy doesn't do installment plans right? If you pre order, it's full price?

Yes, they give you an option to pay full price your finance through them

Id prefer the installments.. i assumed that sammy didnt have them directly..

They have their own financing. Hopefully offer a trade-in program as well so I can get rid of my son's iPhone 6.

Thanks for posting this thread!

Once I see that they have it unlocked with the options I'm looking for, I'm going all in on Samsung Direct.

Did it last year. Won't do it again. I think I am going the carrier route this time.

 

[CTREV21]

How come?

How come?

It was a mess. Every one got their preorder phones before we did and exchange was horrible, plus if you get one with a problem it's not easy to get an exchange.

So you had all these issues? Your phone was late? It was a bad phone? Your exchange was horrible?

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.

Go look at the Samsung.com thread from the note 7 and you will see the horror stories. I had two of them. I went through them because they were shipping with the freebie almost instantly but I had friends who didn't even pre-order going into carrier stores and having a phone before we got ours. And I pre-ordered within the first hour. It wasn't just me, everyone on that thread thought Samsung was shipping the phones to carriers before we were getting ours.

I hope they will trade in my note 5

I wouldn't order from Samsung direct to get my phone first it would have to be for other reasons to order from them

 

[Diehlirious]

Any other options or good suggestions besides going to directly to Sammy?

Not if I have to go through Samsung.com to do it.
