T-Mobile pre-order thread.

Was thinking about the ultra because of the 5g, 120hz, and that zoom but I'm addicted to my spen

Yup me too. I use it every day

It seems like the down payments that T-Mobile is looking for is outrageous for this release. I pre-ordered through Samsung and got $600 for my S10 with $150 worth of add ons. Out the door price was just over $640 for the S20+ 128Gb.

You got $600 for your S10 the plus? That's good and $150 you get for the S20 plus correct? And the Ultra gives you 200? Is it 150 for anything ot the buds automatically. I have the buds already from last time even though I know these are the plus/

Yeah $600 trade in credit for the S10 and the $150 to spend on anything in the Samsung store. I used it for some cases but you could use it toward a Galaxy Watch Active 2 or power banks or TVs.

Just pre-ordered mine. Can't wait for it to arrive.

I had to put down $166 for my Samsung Galaxy S20 plus and they gave me free next day shipping but it's ridiculous i have to pay $43 per month more onto my bill when i was only paying $22.23 more with my s10 plus

Is T Mobile more expensive than Verizon?

Down-payment wise, always. Especially for JoD customers.

You typically get more for your money with T-Mobile. Plans are generally cheaper as well. T-Mobile's LTE network is also consistently faster.

The S20 line was the first time I had a high JOD down payment. I paid $0 down for my 512gb S10 last year. I believe I paid $75 down when I jumped to the Note10.

Is Verizon an Un-Carrier though?

 

[durandetto]

As far as standard phone purchases like EIP they're pretty close. Other carriers also do like 30 or 36 month terms to keep down payment and monthly payments low. I paid $200 for my 512 ultra with EIP and received a $300 bill credit to make up for it. I don't get the ultra good credit beciase I've only been with them 3.5 years. I do have 8 lines for nearly $500 a month so they tend to take care of me.

I need to take a quick poll. What's your T-mobile expected delivery date? Mine shows 3/7-3/12 for the 512gb ultra. I'm hoping it changes soon, but I'm afraid it might not.

Mine says "March 6-March 6" for the regular S20. T-Mobile rep over Twitter agreed that those aren't hard dates either way. Not sure if he was just entertaining me or was genuine. I expect our phones to ship March 2 or 3. Even some Ultra 512gb devices.

Do they do a hard pull on your credit when checking your payment rate?

They haven't checked my credit since the day I switched to them. I think most of their rating system is based on time and payments. Having autopay helps with that. I believe for the note 20 I'll be consider ultra well qualified. Doesn't matter much now with the ungodly down-payments they want with JoD. I'll be using EIP from now on and handing my phones down to other family members. Atleast that way I'll own my $1600 phones after.

My EIP down payment for Ultra is $649.99 + taxes pretty much the same as JOD.

I pre-ordered the 128 Black Ultra. Only thing that concerns me a bit is the camera. I really don't care about the zoom features, I hope the photo quality overall is as good as on my iPhone 11 pro max and my Pixel 4 XL.

That sucks. I have a buddy with the same issue. He pretty much has to pay full price for any phone with T-mobile. It's probably your credit rating with T-mobile and that doesn't go strictly off your actual credit score alone.

Samsung does a pretty good job with being on par with iPhone and I would hope they would be close to last years pixel. Most of it is software related and they've been making strides in that department lately. Here's hoping.
