T-Mobile Pre-Order Question and Comment Thread

[arunma]

My phone was delivered at around 1:15 PM today. I had a meeting at 2:30, which still left me with enough time to rush home, retrieve it from my apartment's main office (which closes after work hours, maddeningly), and come back to retrieve all my apps from Samsung Cloud while I finished out the day.

Damn this is one nice phone!

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 know this is a dumb Question but when you turn the read all the way off will that affect any other color combos or say photo displays in things like that

Black S8+ set up. Phone is next level in design. Every phone before it looks ancient
Face/Iris is working so well that I have already forgotten about fingerprint.

Me too. I love the iris scanner. The little iris display rarely pops up it's so fast. Only if I'm holding the phone too close or too far away it will pop up. My wife tried to unlock the phone and her gorgeous eyes were rejected so I know it's secure.

For me I noticed that Samsung pay works quicker and easier than Seven edge

Rejection email came through finally and I resubmitted. All I had to do was attach my EIP. Now waiting for approval email so I can purchase the $99 bundle.

I actually wondered the same thing. Not a dumb question at all.

Did you get it yet? Lol.

Finally got my s8 plus
Around noon today... Waiting for some free time at work to set it up
Thanks guys for helping me pass the time while I waited
See you again when the note 8 comes out

 

[Arsenio Martins]

So is the deal the free VR or the bundle but not both?

I thought it was the VR and an option to get the bundle at an additional cost.

 

[msm0511]

Nope! It still says out for delivery on ups site, but I'm starting to get worried. I don't think they're usually this late. It's pushing 7:30 here.

So we can't order the $99 bundle until after we receive an email? I registered through the app and selected the bundle option but did not get a payment page.

Happy to have my phone! It delivered at 130p, 1 hour before I got off of work. That was one long hour and one long drive home. LOL

Nope, colors on web pages in Chrome and images in the image gallery look normal, it is just like calibrating a TV screen to your preference.

The VR and controller are the free part. To get the card and headphones (along with the VR) is the additional $99.

Just did the $99 bundle...submitted the pdf of my lease agreement confirmation that contains the IMEI and was approved. I used the Shop Samsung app.

Yours is approved already? Damn that's fast. I did mine this morning and still waiting for approval

 

[msm0511]

Thank goodness!

My experience through the app took less than 10 min total.

You can't pay for it until the email comes through. It will give you a link to pay the $99 for it if that's what you selected during the registration process. If you only picked the free deal then I suppose it will tell You that you will recieve your gift within 6 to 8 weeks.

 

[Kalelfromkrypton]

Yes. With the 99 dollars you will get the VR with controller, headphones and memory card. The memory card runs 200+ dollars.

Nice! Glad people are starting to get their new toy.
