Sprint: Galaxy Note 9 Pre-Order Thread

Sprint seems to be the only one who does not have the 512GB option. And it doesn't look like they are going to allow existing customers to get the 50% off. I think it is time for me to switch to another carrier. But before I do, I will wait for a few months to see what happens. I really wanted the 512GB version.
 
So can existing customers even pre-order at all? Like do we have no option to take part in the promotion other than adding a line?
 
Update, Sprint updated the site so now it actually does let you pre-order as an upgrade with an existing line. You don't get the 50% off though.
 
So I pre-ordered but after realizing I wasn't getting the 512gb HD or 8gb of ram and they didn't give me the option for the free akg headphones, Fortnite v-bucks or discount for half price like the new line or new customers, I quickly panicked and cancelled the order. I may need to think this through again.
 
Can't pre order the note 9 from sprint unless i break my lease agreement thats about 266 plus tax. I love the s9plus but ive had every note since the 2nd one. It sucks i might not be able to get my hands in this note. I told sprint ive been loyal for 10 plus years and that wont even get them to waive the early termination fee.

Termination fee? Should just be an amount to pay off the s9 plus to be able to get into the note 9

They basically said that im 6 months into my lease for the s9plus and i need to at least complete a full year for the s9plus which is ridiculous. I dont want the note 9 in March after its been out for 7 months. At that time I might as well hold out for the note 10 but sprint for some reason wont budge not even my 10 years of loyalty matter. Im actually considering going to Verizon and saying screw sprint
 
Still not able to preorder on site. I calleed. Because I'm part of Galaxy forever, I simply paid the remaining time to hit 12 months on my lease (just a month here, so $43 after tax) and had them preorder my note on lease again. I asked for early upgrade again, but the sales lady was upset that I didn't want protection on the phone lol.

Your lucky you only had a month. I have 7 months till on this galaxy s9 plus. It will be the last time i ever get a galaxy line phone.
 
Sprint is so special. It took be about 10 calls and 5 hang ups before I finally got the 128gb blue note ordered. I couldn't see myself with a purple phone.

Odd. I was able to order first go round. I logged into my account and went to SHOP.

Tenure with carriers doesn't matter anymore. People have abused the card so much in the past that carriers don't care. Hence the huge swapping deals they all do now.
 
I was able to pre order the purple 128 gig at 5:30 am this morning with no problem. Once the phone is in hand, you can submit the phone's meid to Samsung via the Samsung app for the pre order goodies, at least that's the way I've always done it, Sprint has nothing to do with receiving the goodies, they come directly from Samsung.

And btw, the email I received that confirmed my order stated that it would be shipped by 8/22-8/23.
 
If I order the Note 9, I will be ordering the unlocked version from Samsung or Best Buy. From what I saw on Best Buy's website, the unlocked version should work on Sprint. I'm going to head to Best Buy later to make sure. I'm not really in a hurry to get this phone because I don't really care for the pre order offers. I'll wait to see what other offers come up around November.

I have a factory unlocked Note 8 I got from Best Buy that I can tell you works on Sprint. There's no reason the factory unlocked Note 9 should not work. I may have to wait a little while before I upgrade because I got the Note 8 not very long ago LOL. I have a bit of a note obsession
 
Placed my order for the Blue. A bit disappointing there is no Black or Silver option and that they only offer the 128GB version but the battery size makes up for it for me a bit and I have a 400GB SD card. I love my Note 8 but have to top it off at least once a day.

Samsung is giving the Gear S3 with new S9 purchases. I'd rather have that than the headphones to be honest.
