That's because they're not special edition.

In other countries they probably are

So excited Verizon isn't making FedEx hold our phones hostage. My heart almost jumped out my chest when I received the email that my phone would be delivered today. Not jealous of T-mobile and Sprint anymore

Im still lost as to why people think that FedEx holds the packages?



Ive paid attention to this thread since it was posted...
and I have not seen someone explaining the SORT process for FedEx or UPS..



I have mine scheduled for tomorrow! Woot woot! while the phone says it arrived at my center, its still under going sorting, so it makes sense for tomorrow's delivery



















Anyone else putting DBRAND skin on their note 9's?

Sitting at FedEx Warehouse till tomorrow for delivery

They are in other countries and come with extra goodies like extra S Pen and free case.

And on that subject - that's one thing I can say Apple does have over Sammy. I can't stand when a phone gets certain colors here and there and certain regions get special treatment. When you buy an iPhone, everything is on deck right out of the gate and if a new color comes in later then its new for everyone.

When a Samsung flagship is released the whole thing should be on deck for everyone and you just pick what you want.

Okay off my soapbox now...

There is a Special Edition 512gb unboxing video. People were curious if the US was getting that version. I was providing the answer.

Do you have a S9+? If so can you do some speed tests and post the results?

Please give us some pictures of the packaging and phone. Any Verizon logos on the actual phones?

Thanks. Really the only thing the "special Edition" gets you is an extra pen, which we now know the "yellow pen" is standard with the blue. And a jelly case.

Anyway I wouldn't loose sleep over it unless I specifically ordered that one and got something different.

 

[Jdhumpf]

Normally I don't care when I get my phone. "It gets there when it gets there"
But now I'm kinda annoyed. You cant tell me this is right. A FULL 24 hours and its not even at a sort facility. Some driver must have gotten lost...

 

[Jdhumpf]

Seriously...what the hell

 

[Another User1]

im sure its getting sorted! enjoy the next couple of days, thats what Id do

 

[Another User1]

Agree

i dont think Samsung or Apple will do that soon. They have contracts with UPS and FedEx, and having it in stock, is a redo of Verizon's operations. Plus enabling this option, will significantly reduce new accounts generated from physical stores.

Has anyone been at a verizon store recently, even just for a damn sim card? the lines are horrendous

I went to the store to pre-order yesterday. 1, Blue 512 and a Purple 128. The purple 128 has shipped, but the Blue 512 is back ordered until 10/12/18!!! This is the first time ever I have pre-ordered a phone to have it be on backorder. Typically I pre-order on the very first day, but was REALLY on the fence with this release. I dropped my phone and cracked the screen on my Note 8 (had an otterbox defender on it too), so between that and the steady depletion of time that the battery holds a charge, and the BOGO running out soon, I took the plunge. I am HOPING I won't have to wait until October for my phone. I wonder if I wanted to switch to the purple 512, if that would be easy to do as that? It says it would ship on the 24th. I mean I have a Blue case for it that will be on all the time, so does the color REALLY matter? I bet they put a 10/12 date JUST to sell more of the purple ones.

One concern I have is the deadline for the free headphones is 9/20 (or something like that). You apply for them by using the phone once it arrives, but if it arrives AFTER the deadline, not really fair if I lose out on the opportunity. If we do BOGO, do we get 2 sets of headphones? one for each phone? or is it only for the 1st phone?

Thoughts and prayers coming your way.
