To Note 8 or Wait on Note 9

[sweetypie31]

I don't really have a question. I just want to talk about my dilemma. Lol So I have this little S8 Plus, but I really want my note back. When I got this phone the Samsung rep lied and told me no new note was coming out. A few weeks after I pre-ordered the s8 they announced the note. It took me six hours at Best Buy to pre-order this phone, so I couldn't image how long it would have taken to cancel the order and then order the note. Don't get me wrong, the s8 is a nice phone, but it's not my note. I'm feeling this itch really bad to just go ahead and get the note 8 and then when the 9 comes out I can just trade in my s8 from my other line. I know I'm wasting money, but I'll have two notes and just maybe I'll be happy. Decisions, decisions. I have a really bad phone addiction and I'm impatient. Lol

I knw exactly wat u meant by saying 'its not my note' as my 1st note (note 7) was recalled back due to the explosion. N I had to get the s7 galaxy as the replacement phone. But it's not a note.. I can get the note 8 but my dilemma is I'm not sure if i shd wait a few more months for the note 9 to come out..

If you can get both then get them!

I went through the same pain. My 1st Note was the Note4, absolutely loved it, then when the Note7 arrived I was preparing to upgrade to it, did the whole preorder rigmarole, suddenly there are delays on my network for it and it's exploding, long story short, they discontinued it before I could even take delivery of mine so of course I went for the next best thing, the S7 Edge, how bad could it be I said

The S7 Edge was a great device to be fair, but as you say, it just wasn't my Note, I often ping-ponged between it and the Note 4, where the S7 Edge was great was Battery Life, it crapped on the Note 4 in that area.

Late last year when they announced the Note8 I didn't care what it took, I was going to get one and I did a few days after launch in the Midnight Black colour, similar to what I wanted my Note7 (Black Onyx).

To this day I do not regret making the jump, the Note8 has been such a workhorse, and that SPen comes in handy on a daily basis, as I often grab content from images and videos be it from business cards, Pdf docs etc etc... it's the ultimate productivity tool, loving it

I'm on att.com trying to order my note 8 and the site isn't letting me. I think it's a sign.

Walk into the store, unless you hate stores...which I could understand lol. I ordered my factory unlocked note 8 on Best buy site and picked up in store that day

Yes I hate going to the store. It's just as bad as doing it at best buy. The waiting and trying to sell me everything in the store bugs me. I just tried ordering it on the bb website as well. I think att site is still down.

That could be. Maybe Att chat window? They can probably advise of site issues etc. That's frustrating. Are you trying to finance through Att or can you get the factory unlocked that Best Buy carries? Depending on what you need from Att that could be an option

I'm financing through att. I tried to get into my att account online. They were making upgrades to the site. Going to try again in a few.

Wait and trade your s8 in for something off on the note 9. It's pretty much the same phone as the s8 just faster and fancier. At least with the note 9 you'll get something new. There's rumors we might see the fingerprint scanner in the screen.

Besides if you don't like it at least you wont be stuck paying full price for a phone that's a year old and get it at a discount price once the note 9 is released. They'll be knocking the price down on the note 8 to get it out the stock.

I might have to wait anyway. My pay off is higher than what I thought. plus I forgot att charges $80 in taxes.

 

[sweetypie31]

I could just go ahead and pay off the other phone so when the note 9 comes out I'll have no issue. I knew it wasn't meant to be. Lol

Rather do that mate.

A phone isn't worth bad financial decisions, LOL!

Payoff and get Note9, seems like a win - win to me.

Yeah my bank account was like "hold up ma'am!!". Having a phone addiction is horrible.

Wait for the Note 9 in late August/early September. Then buy at Costco instead of Best Buy. They always throw in extra goodies.
