Hey so I was thinking about preordering from bestbuy but i noticed on their website, they have the unlocked s6 for 750, while verizon has it for 600. What prices have people around here been getting the verizon one for from bestbuy?

They usually can price match Verizon corporate price.
Best Buy on Elston in Chicago was selling pre-orders with included charging dock, but unfortunately, had no 128GB SKUS whatsoever. By the way, does anyone know where we can pre-order off-contract S6 Edge's?

You should be able to pre-order off-contract S6's and S6 Edge's anywhere (carrier stores, carrier website, best buy website, best buy stores)

People are saying that the off-contract prices at Best Buy are $150 more than at VZW, but that certainly wasn't the case for me. See http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/31391i/free_wireless_charger_at_best_buy_for_pre_order/

Yes Best Buy's prices are $150 more than Verizon, however I've heard they're price matching. Seems silly to me, plus you're more likely to get it in your hand sooner if you pre order from verizon

Right. But, if they are price matching (which they were at my location), then I'd rather go with Best Buy and get the free wireless charger, which is $60.
So i did my research and talked to a few bb employee friends and they do not price match off contract pricing. Anyone that says they will is probably just saying that, and they'll most likely give you a hard time when you go on the 10th to pay full price. Of course, you can be an exception though.
Anyways, submit my preorder with vzw and ordered a 20$ wireless charger from amazon.
I questioned a Best Buy employee yesterday to verify my full retail price and questioned the price being $150 more. He assured me they would price match the Verizon "Edge" price which in my case was $699 for the 64GB. He offered to give me a written price quote to avoid any confusion on release day and I took him up on it.
Now obviously there is no guarantee that any of that will prevent them from trying to over charge me when it's released but I feel okay about it.
I also questioned him about the Verizon release date and if they'd have it ON that date. He told me they were planning on an April 10th release date unless they get a "push back" date from a Verizon. He said if that's the case it'll be the same for everyone including Verizon. He said the only thing that would prevent someone from getting a pre-order ON that release date would be a lack of supply. He said this was an issue with the Note 4 but he wasn't sure if it was something they'd have an issue with for the S6.
Again none of this really means anything and it's no guarantee but hopefully it'll provide some comfort for those of us who have already preordered from Best Buy.
Hi Verizon users, does the S6 work for T-Mobile's LTE frequencies? I really want to ditch my Note 4, but I honestly cannot tell because I feel like the bands are lower, but I hear the S6 is unlocked though Verizon. Is this true?
Just letting everyone know that if your getting the 2051 error code that they "VZW/bb" know about lol but don't about"know anything " about. At the last step your billing pass is not you acct login pass. It's the last 4 of you ss. Even though you put your ssss above.
Also beware, do not pay off your edge plan over the phone in order to edge up. You will be in limbo for a month. I was in best buy last Wednesday night to pre order and what I wanted to do was keep my Droid Turbo so I was paying it off completely. At the advice of the person at best buy he told me to call 611 and do the transaction, so I did. The Customer service rep took my payment knowing what I was trying to do and he told me I was good to start a new edge plan. Well no the only way you can pay off your edge plan is to go to a Corp store but no one told me this and now I can't get any phone unless I buy it out right for 30 days.
They could price match verizon corporate price.
This morning I got an email saying my order was delayed until May 7th, then 4 hours later got an email saying my order had shipped. Glad I didn't cancel.
they shippped the wireless charger not the phone......atleast for me.

I went in to pay full price and they told me they could not match Verizon's price. I was told that it was less than their cost. I call B.S. on that but either way, I had then refund my gift card and went and bought it at Verizon.

Said it shipped phone just now, 6 hours after the charger shipped. Looks like Monday or Tuesday for delivery.

I finally got around to logging into Best Buy, it looks like I'm only getting the wireless charger on Monday too. Unlike your later post, my phone still hasn't shipped.
Anyone know when BB will get the gold in? I picked up on 4/10, but 32 white. Really want the gold. Hoping it comes in within the next two weeks.
Bestbuy Sucks
I pre-ordered from bUstbuy. I got an email stating i can pick up my pre-order on 4/10/15. I went by the store to pick up my phone and they said. Verizon is not selling that phone until 4/17.
i argued with the guy for a few minutes and asked why i got the email from their company saying my order was ready for pickup.
He started getting kinda irate about me questioning him. he about yelled at me that Verizon stores are not selling the phone until 4/17......
So i left bUstbuy and went across the street to verizon and picked up my new 64gb white S6.
F- Bustbuy... they'll never get my business again.
Ordered mine in store today at Tmobile in titanium silver at 10am pst. Along with a gold and black version for my girl and her sister. Seems tmobile is giving us free overnight shipping. Hope we get the device early like last year
I'll update this thread with my shipping status and or any other users who show they're device is being delivered early.
Tmobile says devices will ship and or arrive on 3/1
Sprint says devices will ship on 3/7
ATT says devices will ship on or by 3/8
Verizon says devices will ship on 3/11 and by 3/31 (need more confirmations)
Vodaphone says devices might ship out on 3/8
Ordered mine via ATT's website (which is acting horrible right now...) at 1am. Says shipping on March 7th and the warehouse (Fort Worth) is only 4 hours from my place. I'm guessing depending on what time of day they ship, I'll get it by 8th or 9th.
+1 Ordered S7 Edge via Samsung.com
S7 Edge from Samsung.com also.
Hello guys!
I preordered my future S7 edge on orange.ro, since I`m their client...
It comes with Gear VR and an external battery of 2000mAh at a total price of 788 euros. Delivery begins on March the 8th. Can`t wait...
S7 Edge from o2, no upfront cost £42 a month and free 149.99 headphones & get it on 8th March (hopefully)
Verizon
Best Buy Blk Edge $779 full price with the Gear and 64gb card. (no use for the gear and will probably try to sell it for cheap. Have to get a "matte" sticker for the glossy finger print prone back though. Wish they hadn't done that again although the metal ones in Best Buy showed even worse. Definitely not going to cover up this beauty with any sort of case.
Just preordered my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (935T). Hopefully this T-Mobile phone will get rooted quick. I'm done with AT&T phones.... paid outright, and will unlock through T-Mobile....
+1 GS7 Edge via Tmobile comes with 1 year of netflix and the gear VR
Ordered the Titanium Silver from TMO online, so we will see when it arrives.
Preordered a silver and a gold one with AT&T on the 22nd, they canceled my order on the 23rd because they couldn't verify my identity. Turns out it's because I chose a different shipping address than my billing address. So I preordered one with Sam's club for the $100 gift card and one with Target for the $100 gift card.
I ordered the S7 Edge with Gear VR. and it will arrive on 3rd march

From where?
Verizon, pre ordered silver on the 23rd. Still deciding whether to get the free gear s2 to replace my og 360, or the free gear vr to replace my star wars cardboard.
Pre-ordered from carphone warehouse UK, should have it one 8 March as they have 3 day exclusive, getting gear vr free.
Silver S7 Edge from TMO... order still shows as 'processing' with no information on the page. Guessing they will update that by the end of the week.
Got my free VR already from Sprint, ordered on the 23rd. According to the email it was supposed to ship on the 11th, so hopefully I get my S7 Edge nice and early.

So saw this news this morning. Verizon is doing a BOGO deal on the S9/S9+ as long as a new line is added to your plan. Seems like Best Buy is also offering the same deal that Verizon is with their mobile department. So guess sales figures haven't been great with the pre-orders so they are doing other incentives now.
Hopefully works in my favor since I'm adding a line (my phone) to a plan so we'll see how it works since I got on the pre-order for 2x S9+'s and got the $100 (really $115 off) from Best Buy getting the Verizon version of the phone.
Sprint was also doing the deal I saw. And yes deal even applies with the Best Buy $100 off pre order promo.
and am looking forwards to receiving it. I know the processor is only the 845 but I am getting it primarily for the camera setup as I take lots of photos with my phones. Anyone else pre order theirs yet? I live north of Boston, Ma.

You can also just walked into a BestBuy and get it for $599 this week. I think I need to do that to get a hands-on and check out the camera app speed. A few seconds delay between the shots sounds a little too much.
I currently have the device and downloaded a pixel camera apk that seems compatible with it. Though question I must ask, does all five cameras work on third party camera apps as well… (night scape on this device would be fantastic). Nokia 9 five cameras’ design using a compatible pixel 3 camera apk would make me not purchase the google pixel 3 xl.
I picked mine up at Best Buy last Friday (March 1). Some locations had them available.

What are your thoughts? I picked one up as well, but haven't opened the box yet.
I ordered one from B&H, not sure when they ship but I'm happy just knowing I have one reserved for now.
I ordered one from B&H too! Hopefully they get some stock this week. Might arrive faster than the S10!
Very Excited.
I'm in the UK and I pre-ordered on the 28th Feb.
I have been on the fence about buying a new phone for around a year and I hadn't seen anything about this phone before the 27th. It hauled me down off the fence quicker than I expected, especially when I saw the UK price with the earbuds thrown in.
Really excited about the potential of the camera and the early review shots have looked great.
Although Best Buy has it on hand(at some stores at least) I preferred to order from BH Photo . Best Buy charges $25 for returns while BH does not charge for returns and it is free shipping to/from them. I have bought a lot of gadgets from Best Buy and BH and , BH photo usually has the best customer service. Of course BH does not charge taxes either (they are located in NYC) and I live in Massachusettes. Shipping from BH photo , when supply is in, is 1-3 days.
Looks like B&H may ship tomorrow according to an email I just got:
"Released in limited qty 03/05/19"
Quoted from my order,under the phone description

Also in the UK, ordered March 3rd and it is saying expected shipping date is April 1st, which is later than some other regions. I need to replace my S7 Edge and I'm seeing this device as a bit of an upgrade over the OnePlus 6T. I suppose I could wait for the OnePlus 7 but I expect that device to be more expensive and have no wireless charging. Also the camera is a bonus, and HDR10 support on the screen will be interesting to try.
Nokia are also claiming HDR video recording, though I am not sure what that really means yet.
Mine should be here tomorrow! Super excited
Interesting to hear that the phone is available in some markets. Ordered mine, but no indication on when the delivery starts in the Netherlands. Some rumors say 15 March, others early April.

Best Buy, but it looks like they're sold out of them now. I originally did B&H, but on Tuesday I saw BB was promising delivery date of the 7th so I canceled my order with B&H and went with BB.

I just got the charge from B&H, and invoice says it has been sent to the warehouse. I'm guessing they have stock and will ship soon.

I pre-ordered mine from Best Buy on the 3rd of March, at around 3am. I received it yesterday (7th) from UPS at around 3pm. I am near Cleveland Ohio. I chose the free shipping, surprisingly I was expecting UPS to hand it off to USPS because it was sure-post method, but UPS ended up delivering it. I have to go to the AT&T store today to get a nano SIM, my current/old phone was a micro SIM, so I have yet to power it up and trying it out. I will later today *crosses fingers*.

That's awesome! I hope it ships out soon. Just got mine yesterday.
Pre ordered in Belgium on 25 feb . First the releasedate was 01 april , but yesterday got mail that it moved to 11 march ....
Wow, just got mine today and it's a real beauty. I am just charging it up now and will install all my apps once done charging. I am looking forwards to taking it through its paces
Curiosity got the best of me, wanna try that flip4 to see what is it about so, I traded my S22 vanilla for $650. Fair trade I think, I paid $799 for the S22 256GB and now adding $350 I'll have the flip, blue, also 256GB plus a free blue silicon cover. Novelty, but I'm hoping that the flip form has its pluses, small in the pocket and then: voila! got 6.7" screen. I'm also curious about that Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, supposedly no heating issues and a positive reviews about battery endurance.
Lesser camera setup comparing to S22 and that's ok, I enjoyed the S22 mostly as being a 'pocket' phone, I also have the 22U to carry around if I'm expecting to spot something interesting for photos/videos.
I also found out today, after placing my order with Samsung, that am gonna be able to pick-up the package personally, right from the BestBuy store - no more worries about unreliable/tricky Fedex deliveries.
You said it, the "small in the pocket" is what this phone has to offer. I have a Z Flip3 that I'm upgrading. I'll never go back to a brick in the pocket.
I lucked out on the announcement day by getting $900 for my current Flip3, for a blue Flip4 with 256GB and a blue case, for $99. I thought it was a great deal, and on Tuesday, August 23 I'll know for sure. ;-)
I pre-ordered the Flip 4 with a Flip 3 trade in for make value. Also picked up the watch 5 pro and buds pro 2. It was too much of a deal to pass up. My daily driver is the s22 plus. FedEx has my delivery possibly for tomorrow. The package is already at my local FedEx hub.
I really wanted the watch and new buds. I may just sell the Flip 4. Hopefully everything is delivered tomorrow.
Ordered mine 5 minutes into presales available. Said delivery would be today. Nope. Got a tracking number stating next Thursday and tracking number not even active after almost 2 days. Go figure...

Here in the US? That sucks. I ordered flip4 blue on 8/19 and picked it up at BestBuy today. The retail sales at Bb starting tue 8/30. And I was just complaining in the other thread here that the bestbuy doesn't handle trade-ins returns.
Yep, waiting in USA
