Who's ordering the S25?

EXACTLY. They won't even let you just buy the phone upfront after the trade-in credit. But it's because they know there's plenty of impatient people like me who will just say eff it, pay off early (losing the majority of that trade credit) and get a new device.

I've been losing my ace by doing this; that's why I decided to go the Samsung route. I get that entire credit upfront, no parsing out micro payments for a ridiculous length of time (3 YEARS).

I used to do the carrier back in the days but no more I get direct from Samsung like you said credit up front.

TMobile used to have a very good trade in for it new phone program. It got worse and worse until I abandoned it and went through Samsung instead. Good while it lasted.

Any articles talking about the S25U sales are click bait at best. The phone just started pre orders on Wednesday. Anything published now is purely speculative.

Exactly.....how can you evaluate sales of a product isn't even out of pre-order yet.

A few days later I now changed the order to the base Model S25 with 512 GB in Navy Blue. Reasons: I saw the first video reviews of the Ultra Model with the flat sides and it really reminded me on a brick. I always eyed on the smaller S24 model last year, but now the S25 has bigger storage options, Qualcomm processor instead of Exinos... and I really fell in love with the navy blue colour when I saw it in the video reviews

I like the new Ultra form factor and went bigger...

Never could bring mysellf to pony up for one of the hard to hold chonky / front pocket pointy predecessors.

Trade-in on S24+ was decent, along with associated accessory incentives, bitching at Samsung via chat to get the $50 pre-register credit (that never appeared in e-mail) and a total of 16% more discount (14 from Rakuten and 2 from my CC).

I tried getting a Verizon Ultra, and it won't let me do that without involving my Verizon account. It's like they don't want my money. I was going to fully pay for it. I can't get an Unlocked version because then it has no Visual Voicemail. I have a Pixel on my line currently that gets device credits so there is no way I'm just going to pay that off.

I'm on Verizon with unlocked phone and I have visual voicemail. Maybe there's something I'm missing, but I can listen to it or read it thru the voicemail app

Maybe things have changed since I last tried on a S20, thought there were some more recent threads with people having a similar problem. So you don't have to call up your voicemail and your not paying extra for a service? Is the one your using a Samsung app?
On my S20 I had to use a work around using the YouMail app and it wasn't great.

I'll look, but I didn't download any apps. I think if you want to read the text you have to pay, if you just want to listen I think it's free.

I pay the $2.99 a month because I want to be able to read the messages if I'm on the phone.

The free one doesn't have that and half the allowed messages to store.
