Samsung you're in serious trouble if you think people will pay $1000 for a phone

[Blues Fan]

Right now Best Buy has $150 off the unlocked S8.

This is why I'm waiting until later in the fall. To be able to buy unlocked from Best Buy, Samsung.com or B&H when they do a sale on it. The carrier phones hardly ever go on sale.

I'll be on the pre-order for the Note 8. With the freebies being offered at launch and just being able to add it onto my bill, it makes it easily affordable for myself and many others doing it this way. Paying outright is where more people are going to have a tough time in my opinion.

Unless you put it ($$$) away when they took away your Note 7 and collected interest for 10 months... I still can't believe I actually resisted the urge to use that for something else all this time!

Of course they will sell more Note 8's then any other note line. The price point reflects the level of technology and this phone will lead the market

I have owned every note and will buy the note 8, note 9 and every other note Samsung produces

The note rocks!

If you think the masses are going to pay over $1000 for a cell phone .

I think the 64gb will be $900 and the 128gb will be $1000. I'm Just guessing...... If it's higher than that I may be changing my mind. That's why I hate these pre-wait jitters, it gives you took much time to think. If they would just do it I'd probably jump in with both feet and not bat a eye!... Lol

Except they can't repo phones like they can with cars when people don't pay lol.

Yeah, but you get banned from the carrier, do it a few times and your out of options but to join another persons plan or use prepaid. It also hits your credit score as unpaid debt, and you'll likely get harassed by debt collectors.

I don't watch Sprint or AT&T, but T-Mobile and Verizon run sales on a regular basis. BOGO deals, bill credits, rebates. Verizon just had a $200 rebate on the G6, they also had the Moto Z2 Force for $15/month after a bill credit. That's $360 for a phone Moto wants over $700 for unlocked.

I would be perfectly fine with the 64gb since I have the 256gb sd card from the note7.

I remember back in the day. When smokes went up to 50¢, I was going to quit smoking.... Lol... Not. Diehard Note fan. And proud of it!

 

[jlost]

Hahaha people will flock to it even more because of the price. The higher the price, the better the device. Right ? Lol

Many times those are for new lines. I plan on staying with Tmobile and keeping my line. If I get a carrier version I'll probably get it from Samsung.com when they run a sale. I know it's a roll of the dice with them but since I'm not in the pre order frenzy it shouldn't be as bad. Samsung.com shipped my s8 Plus on time but I also saw pre-order horror stories.

Same with Best Buy pre-order. I've heard Best Buy is terrible to pre-order from. I'll only buy the unlocked from Best Buy once the phone is actually out and in stock.

The Best deal will probably be from Samsung.com or Best Buy.

If they priced the iPhone 8 at $1500 there will still be stupid Apple Sheep who would line up to buy it even though the iPhone would still be inferior to the S8 and the Note. I can't believe people pay all that money for the iPhone 7 Plus for inferior screen quality and old technology.

Folks have been paying 1000 or near it for over a year now.

Way too dramatic in this room lol

It'll lead the market for a few weeks at any rate, assuming it's better than the essential phone and S8+.

There is truth to that and a few companies have made bank off that insight.

It, the iphone 7, has a better display, better SoC, better storage options, better build materials, better support for it's hardware and software and is a fashion-statement type of status symbol. Yes, people are going to buy it. You clearly hate the iPhone, yet don't know much at all about it. That's also a status.

"Samsung you're in serious trouble if you think people will pay $1000 for a phone"

They will. When your name is iPhone or Samsung, people are highly willing.

 

[Dark Pixels ll]

Speak for yourself bud. Plenty of other people will own a new Note.
