To discuss everything related to availability news, shipping and delivery information.
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

awww. I saw this stub and thought there might already be discussion of pricing/availability. Ill keep holding my breath

also Amazon.de has it listed https://www.amazon.de/Samsung-front...e=UTF8&qid=1474298426&sr=1-1&keywords=gear+s3 for the currently price 399,99€ but this is the first price so I think it will be at ca 350€ or lower (aaaand I hope it )

Samsung's website now allows preorders for the classic and frontier versions. For those in the US, like myself, it only shows AT&T's frontier LTE version, no other carriers are listed at this time but the Bluetooth models are still listed.
$349 for Bluetooth and $399 for LTE

Preorder on samsung.de incl. second strap for 399 €, delivery at 18. November.

Official Samsung Price is 699 Euro in Europe. To be precise: 699.99 Euro
Samsung is selling it for 699.99 in their European shop:

Of course the street price will go down.
Only the early adopters will pay that price, for the privilege of being the first to have one in their hands.
A UK vendor has apparently seen a 40% increase in pre orders over the S3!!!

Is the Gear S2 on sale anywhere?

Hello all! Has anyone seen a recent sale for the Gear S2? I'm picking one up probably today and wanted to help save every penny I have if possible. Thanks and have a nice day!
Most people may overlook this one as a likely source to buy the watch, but I bought my gear s2 classic from Dell...... $50.00 off.
Sent from my Verizon Galaxy Note 5
Just keep searching and move in quickly when there is a deal. I had great offer from Macy's two days before Black Friday: had the gear s2 classic for $254.99. That was $95 below normal price!
Thanks for sharing!
I picked mine up from T-mobile in Holland for €250 ($275). That's 150Eur off the price here ? For the classic of course. Normally €400.
The shop manager had to confirm with HQ that it was allowed ?
Amazon and Best Buy have the Gear S2 on sale today for $250!
Yeah I got the s2 on Friday from Best Buy, taking the receipt back and getting that 50$ back! Woot!!
Online...AT&T have them for $199
AT&T now has the S2 3G on sale for $99 with 2-year contract...price good through January 31, 2016
I purchased an Amazon Warehouse deal one for $218. It was/is in perfect condition and works....then I got greedy when I saw another Warehouse Deal for only $189....ordered that one and it arrived with the reactivation lock enabled Had to send it back...it was in good shape too.

Preorder Thread

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.

Anyone having luck finiding this watch?

I messed up and didnt order one at release, now im wanting it pretty bad.
Anyone having luck finding it in the US? I have read reports from several people that some 3rd party vendors that are shipping from Korea are shipping out international version ( no samsung pay, right? ) so I'd like to avoid that.
Frys Electronics shows it available for shipping first week of Jan.
Id prefer to go through Best buy or amazon, anyone have some insider info on them? Customer support has zero info.
thank you!

I was able to find it at Best Buy.
I had the same problem. Couldn't find it anywhere, finally I took a chance, and went to craigslist, saw one going for $200 no box, I asked the guy if the charger came with it, he said yes. I took the chance, went for it, and it's just the watch, with the charger, (no cable or power block) but for $200 it's not bad. I factory reset it before I did anything, so far so good, everything works, Samsung pay works.
Best buy
None of the best buys in my area or anaheim, ca or las vegas have them in stock. The best my local best buy was able to do for me is give me a 10% off coupon ad they couldn't even let me place an order to secure the 299 price.
Been keeping an eye on Craigslist too, thank you guys!

I usually check nowinstock.net for email notifications when they come in stock at Best Buy, amazon or B&H.
https://www.nowinstock.net/electronics/smartwatches/samsung/
It actually looks like its in stock at best buy currently with free 2 day shipping: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-gear-s3-frontier-smartwatch-46mm-dark-grey/5647800.p
Aww snap! Thanks for that! I was at bestbuy not less then 2 hours ago and they were showing none. Anywhere. Ordering!
I Also got mine from Bestbuy about a week ago, but they were out of all the Bluetooth only editions. I ended up convincing them to sell me an ATT version for the same price and I'm just using it as Bluetooth only. Seems they are out of stock just about everywhere..
I ended up getting two shipped out. One came in today and the bezel clinks quite a bit. Going to see how it compares to the one arriving tomorrow.
Found one under my Christmas Tree. :good:
I just bought one today from my local Best Buy. No Best Buy locally had them until yesterday. Per the manager I bought mine from, they had a shipment of them come in yesterday. They only got 4. There was only 1 not ordered online that was available for anyone to walk in and buy. They didn't have a demo unit on the floor.
AT&T has a special if you upgrade a line, you can get the S3 for 50 bucks...just did it myself. Doesn't have to be the Flagship, either...any Galaxy phone.
Just walked into my local best buy today and they had one left. It was $350 though. They said they will price match until the 15th of January so hoping it goes on sale! Either that or Verizon announces they are getting a LTE model and I'm returning this one asap
Picked one up, the last one, at my local Best Buy. It was $350 but I was able to use a one time 10% discount. Came out to $337. A few bucks more than with tax on the sale price. Ordered from Samsung 3 weeks now and still no updates. Cancelled that order.
whoever is looking, I use this site to stalk the stock of the main website/stores to find most things and the watch was one of them. It even says at this exact moment amazon has them in stock
https://www.nowinstock.net/electronics/smartwatches/samsung/
None of my Best buys stores in the Bay area has it in stock. Starting hitting craigslist and picked one up for $220, like new in box with all accessories and the receipt from Amazon. Can't express how much more comfortable this is compared to my S2.
They have alot in the Fort Worth Texas areas

Man i have had the same luck with Samsung. I ordered during the christmas sale and its been weeks. Aholes haven't shipped my order yet. Best buy has been out of stock since a long time near me, either. So i kept checking almost daily like a routine and finally found in stock, ordered and cancelled my Samsung order. The frustrating part is Samsung website has been showing The Frontier will ship in 1-3 business days since past coupla days. I called their agents and they all be like- "Oh sorry, it just means it will be delivered in 1-3 business days, once it leaves the warehouse. It is not what you think". WT?? Man I got so pissed calling them again and again with no luck, they all repeating the same sht. I have a strong feeling they are not shipping in the order received. I think brand new orders at full price are still being shipped sooner than those back orders sold at sale price.

No Freebies with the S9/S9+

I maybe the only one here and sound rather spoilt but I was hoping for an gift or accessory for pre-orders like a few of us.
With the S7 it was the GearVR and last year they promoted the AKG earphones with the S8 (ok, they came with all of them). It also came in a lovely big Samsung box.
Even though it hasn't stopped me upgrading I feel they missed a trick here by creating more buzz on pre-orders.
we get a year of bein connect for free but i have a theory. Samsung lowered prices in some countries and priced higher on others, to compensate they offered freebies to less developped countries like mine (Morocco). To me looks like the richer countries are paying for poorer countries well except in the US. The other problem is, just from browsing the s9/s9+ forums i can see that the sales will be much lower, as we had hundredrs of posts on the s8/s8+ fourms during the preorder period vs less than 100 here. So Samsung should give more freebies in few weeks to boost sales
True lads, most countries gettin free wireless chargers etc, dex would be nice to get as a freebie, ahh.. i bet there'll be some freebies like a month after or so
In Saudi Arabia the pre-order is for th 256 GB varient only and the freebies are : (Selfie Stick;Car Charger;AKG wireless Speaker;Wireless Charging Stand)*
yep not happy no freebies on offer in the uk!!!
ok through a carrier we get the AKG y50BT, a 128gb sd card and 1year bein sport for free
Here in Italy S9+ is sold at 999 Eur. A little too much for my taste, They offer a buyback for used phones that in most cases is enough fair. For example S7 Edge is rated 350 Eur, S8+ 450, iphone 6 200 Eur. Sadly being patient and waiting for next months rebates wil be possible to buy the S9+ around 800 Eur and sell These phones for a little less thanwhat Samsung offers with more convenience.

I also noticed this price in Italy and asked the same question but no, it's the same version with 64gb storage. Every Amazon in Europe charge 950€ except Amazon.it.
S9+ 64GB 900$ here in India and with a very good exchange offer that can get you even more discount

Rightly said. I have pre-booked one by availing card, exchange and EMI discounts. I have opted for 18 months interest free EMI which is fantastic. As mentioned above the freebies only add to the cost of the overall price of the product which I am not that keen.
In Indonesia just get TUMI Case for all preorder S9/S9+
Not only are there no freebies but they had no discount bundles for preorders like they do for the released ones now. Kinda crappy Samsung .
I already have a VR, AKG headphones, and a 256gb EVO card from prior purchases. It'd be nice, but this time I just needed the phone.

I got wireless charge and a Samsung tab A
In Czech Rep you wont get freebies but you can handle your old phone to get 100€ discount + price of your old phone if it had any value. Think its much better than freebies, which you wont usually use...
I got a Harman Kardon Onyx Mini for pre-ordering my S9+. Price here for 128GB is MYR3999 ~ USD 1022.
