Verizon: Galaxy Note 9 Pre-Order Thread

[buzzy3970]

I hate going there too, but they never open my phone and set it up for me. I tell them I'll do it at home and it's over pretty quickly. But since I'm switching from iPhone X to the Note9, I'll have to trade-in my iPhone X to offset some of the cost of the Note9. And then I'll have to transfer my texts and contacts from the iPhone to the Note9. So I'll have to set it up on release day in store. Ugh.

FWIW, last year, I went to a T-Mobile store on Note8 release day right when the store opened and there were no customers waiting in line. And that was the first Note after the Note7 fiasco, but people may have been still apprehensive about the device. Maybe things'll be different this year. Who knows. The T-Mo associate told me people wanted the iPhone X and had no interest in the Note devices.

That's because reps mostly try to get you to get one especially Verizon reps. That's a major reason I hate the store. They seem to be uneducated on anything not apple related. Not all of course, but most.

Yeah. I usually know way more than the Verizon reps, but that's because of websites like Android Central.

Setting up the phone is part of the excitement of having a new phone really. Store reps like to act like people don't know how to work the devices. If all I need you to do is activate it then that's all you should be doing.. You don't need to go into my backups for my contacts and all of that. I know how to bring them back.

Damn. I feel for ya. I hope you are able to get one. I hate going to my Verizon stores down here. Busy or not lol. And I definitely don't let them open box and set up phone for me. Nope I'll be the first one to open that phone. Thank you very much lol.

I had a Verizon store employee tell me once that he had to open a phone to activate it. I told him he could keep it then. I went home cancelled the order and had one shipped to my home. Never going to that store again.

They can activate it just by scanning the bar codes on the box can't they.

Looks like Verizon is on back order for the 512 blue.

I'm glad I got up and ordered within half hour after preorder started.

Just wish Verizon would charge me and ship my phone. :-\

I'd be happy to just get the charge so I know it's a done deal.

Did anyone else notice when pre orders opened up it said buy one Galaxy Note 9 get one free. The free one being the 128GB version. Now it's saying you have to buy a 128GB to get a 128GB free? Did I miss something cause I even called the next day and customer service had to fix my order and they said nothing about me ordering the 512GB and getting the 128 as my free one. They even said that's the better deal. I can see this being a issue cause I know I'm not the only one who did this.

Only thing I saw was the free one could only be the 128gb for them to pay otherwise the "free" one would still have 250 that would be paid over the 24months of the contract.

I hate that! I've had to tell reps "Don't open it". I told one it was going to be a gift.

Yeah now it's saying you have to buy the 128 to get a 128.

 

[felloffthetruck]

I have a bad feeling that all 512GB will be delayed and nobody will see them next week. :-\

Hope I'm wrong.

Mine is still saying shipping around the 24th

Probably because they are out of the 512
