T-Mobile Pre-Order Question and Comment Thread

Some of you guys are just the biggest buzz kills saying things like shipping labels mean nothing, Pre orders are not worth anything blah blah blah!!

People are excited to get the phone and everything your saying is crap!

I ordered the phone on 14th, got text yesterday on it shipping and today tmobile up updated its in route to my house today!

Plus if Tmo is going to toss in a $100 value with a VR kit thats even better!!!

Keep up the good work T Mobile!!

As luck (or not) when I got to work my son called and said the ceiling was leaking. He had just taken a shower. So I came home to deal with it and while waiting for a plumber my phone came! UPS NEVER comes until late afternoon. SO yay it's here!
 
I receive mine today. How do I activate that Gear VR promo since I never got any email to activate or anything?
 
Looks like I'm going to have to resubmit it because I was told from Tmobile to take a picture of the side side of the box. Grrrr

I just got off the phone with Samsung and he sent an email to their Advanced support team asking them to send me a link in the email so I can attach the EIP. He said I wouldn't have to input the other information (imei, and wifi mac) because they already have that on the claim.

Samsung Promotions

Select Learn more on the promotion and scroll down and select to register either on app or web (I did it on web) and it will send you to a page to select your provider and so on. Just continue to follow the steps and make sure you done leave any information off. Pics of the boxes doesn't work for proof of purchase bit the EIP does work. Good luck
 
Mine showed up and I did have to go into the color setting and turn the red all the way off as did a co-worker who got theirs today as well. Really only noticeable on a white screen like google.com

I had to do it on a desktop was having issues finding where I needed to be on the phone version. Submitted and approved.

I wish tmobile wouldn't have told me that I needed to take a pic of the box. I think it would've already been approved by now. I'm afraid I'm going to miss out on the $99 bundle :(
