So when we start receiving shipments??

I'm glad to see everybody getting their phones though! If you do pick up from Best Buy through Samsung will they give it to you before release date? Cuz my friend said that hers will be ready tomorrow and I said well you better make sure cuz it doesn't get released till Wednesday. She got the silver Shadow and then said oh but I kind of like the violet now.

I know and it doesn't make sense that she's saying they're only going to give her $500 she said they told her 600 Max and they told her she's better off going through Samsung. Which I thought was weird. I don't know what plans she's on though I just know it's one of the 55 plus and she's been on it for a long time.
T mobile which I also have and with 55 plus plan will only give higher trade in amounts if member adds a new line with there new experience plan, or upgrade current plan to new experience plan. They call it Experience Beyond Plan. They also want to charge 35 $ connection charge for the S26 and 24 month bill credits. If she did not want to add a line or change her plan Samsung is the better option. Just FYI. That's why I buy unlocked usually on Samsung but this year I did Best Buy.
 
Got the silver today. Few pictures indoor and outdoors

At least T-Mobile offers 2 year deals versus the only 3 year deals Verizon offers
 
The phone was delivered this afternoon! I got the S26 Ultra 256GB in cobalt violet. Also got my accessories: an Otterbox Defender case; a 65 watt charger and tempered glass screen protectors! The phone looks and feels very nice and sleek. Love the color!

Thanks for this. I was sitting here debating to use wireless or cable. I already planned on logging into every app once I have everything switched out. I am actually doing a spring cleaning now deleting anything that I don't use.
Hope it went well. Cable is much faster. If you're not getting notifications for some apps, try clearing data and cache or uninstall and reinstall.

Thanks. I used wireless and I was able to do multiple things at once. I still have a few apps to log in, but my initial impression coming from the 24U.....I love it!!

My 1TB Cobalt Blue came around 2:10 this afternoon. I decided to use Smart Switch via cable and it only took about 10 minutes. It went smooth, but of course you'll have to sign in many apps again. Nova launcher transferred, but I had to restore from my backup file plus I had to install Nova Prime. Notifications seem to be working. I still have a lot to do. Sound is good. Photos are excellent. It came up to date with no system update. So far I'm pleased. The screen is bright enough, but I use maximum brightness.
I was very surprised at how fast the transfer went. I spent more time tweaking settings and I did have to install a couple of apps and delete some of the bloatware. All in all, it went very smoothly. I like the feel of the phone and the screen is quite nice.
 
I did the pickup at BestBuy option because it said I'd get it on the 11th as opposed to the 22nd or whatever direct from Samsung.

As of 3/10 12:52 AM UPS tracking says" Shipment ready for UPS. Estimated delivery date will be available when UPS receives the package."
 
I did shipping from Best Buy, and mine still says wating for shipping info. Meanwhile, my coworker who got his from AT&T, got his on Friday. Last time I order from Best Buy.
