Verizon: Galaxy Note 8 Pre-Order Thread

[SHIVA77]

release day is still 2.5 weeks away. I am sure they'll start to trickle a week before. just a guess. but don't think they are here now. I think if they get to the stores a day before it should be OK. since they're already on display.

Verizon sent me a box today for returning my Note 4. It says I have 30 days....lol Hey Verizon my Note 8 isn't even shipping for another 18 days and I'm using my Note 4.....ya know......cause I had to give back my 7.

I did have the impression that the first several week's supply would be sequestered somewhere in-country being cited at/near local distribution centers. In all seriousness with North Korea's belligerent action today I was more concerned for something dreadful arising from an escalation of global tensions.

 

[Ryano89]

Does anyone know if the physical devices, that is to say the Note8s themselves, are in the United States awaiting distribution or would global thermonuclear conflict set-back the Note8's release indefinitely?

Valid question, although wouldn't the answer end up being irrelevant? Lol..sorta.

Is it true that the Verizon galaxy note 8 isn't eligible for annual upgrade? Gotta keep it for two years?

 

[Nostromo79]

Renders the point rather moot, no?

 

[SHIVA77]

I heard Samsung has made the Note 8 radiation proof just in case. haha

if it isn't eligible for annual upgrade why not just sell it and use the money to pay it off and get a new phone? you'll probably get what you owe on it if not more that route anyway....

Just pre-ordered on Samsung website. Shipping date is 9/11. Traded in my S6 edge for $425 off.

So when I placed the order it said Deliver by 9/14, then it said ship on 9/14, then ship on 9/11, now back to ship date of 9/14. I've checked it 3 times total, just out of curiosity and cause I can't stand this damn iphone and hoping it ships early. I'm legit planning my final vacation days around a phone... Problems I tell ya, problems!

I've seen the same thing. Currently it is "Delivered by 9/14" which is a Thursday. I can't imagine they would ship on Thursday and have them floating around until Monday (if two day shipping). The sooner the better in my opinion.

 

[jayp1306]

Yeah that's kind of what I was thinking. Here's hoping it ships on the 12th! I know last year I had 2 day shipping and it shipped on Thursday and came on Friday somehow... I more wanted to be the first one to complain

I spoke to someone this morning with Verizon customer service, and he said that they will be allowing those of us who had to switch phones after the second recall to turn them in at 50% paid. They are working with Samsung to make this happen. This is for those of us who did not qualify for this deal as of yesterday. I went to a retail store and manager confirmed. We should know the exact details within the next week. I switched to the lg-v20, and I can't wait to turn it in and get back to the Note line. I do not know if we'll be able to get the $475 off on top of this deal. There was still confusion on that part, but at least we won't have to pay the last 12 payments.

WE WON!

Don't all of you, by that I mean the 2 or 3 Note Edge users who wanted to swap to Note 8, Thank me the same time. Haha....

I got VZW to add the Note Edge to the list of 25% rebate for the Note 8 alongside Note 4.

YES!!! You're Welcome!

... Currently it is "Delivered by 9/14"...

Mine has said ship by 9/14 since 12:30 am on Aug 24th.

I ordered two. Also ordered 2 glass screen protectors from VZW, which came today. Pre-ordered S-View cases from Samsung. (They're not the same as previous Notes' S-View cases.)

I just kept using my Note 7 (best free phone I've ever had) over getting the S7E I didn't like. Typing this on my N7 now, so I'll trade my like new Note 5 in for 50% off (hated that phone.) What I'm not thrilled about is going back to black from blue and I'm confused and pissed about dropping back down to 64GB of memory. I'd be okay with 128GB, but would likely order 256GB if I could.

Yeah, the annual upgrade thing is really only useful if a phone depreciates over 50% in 12 months. iPhones and Galaxy phones tend not to depreciate that quickly. Which is exactly why Verizon does this plan for certain phones only. They benefit as much as the customer does.

The point is that the annual upgrade is convenient, but if you want a phone every year that isn't eligible for Verizon's annual upgrade, it's as simple as selling your phone on ebay, using the proceeds to pay off what you owe, and then financing a new phone.

Personally the Note 8 feels like a phone you could easily handle for two years. Unless they introduce stereo speakers.

Mine has been stuck on "processing order, check back later" since I ordered it on the 27th. I contacted Verizon yesterday to make sure there wasn't an issue and they said everything is fine. It would sure be reassuring if I had more information than that when I log into my account though. And to top things off I accidentally chose 2-day shipping instead of next day and the only way to change that is to cancel the order and replace it...which I'm not going to do and risk getting a later ship date.
