You realize that NOW? It's been standing in my Samsung order since I placed it at the day the phone was presented that the shipping will be on 18th

Update on my package, it says it is now in transit expected on Fri .9 lbs. It's either my free VR gift or hoping my phone. I just got the email a sec ago.

I preorderd from Samsung. I got a fedex notice today that a package requiring a signature was being delivered from Samsung's warehouse and is confirmed for delivery on Saturday! Mine sayd it's a 1.0 lb package. No word from Samsung and my order status still shows "preorder". They haven't charged my card yet either, so I'm guessing it's the AKG headphones and memory card.

Yea, it's not the phone. It's likely the cheap speaker dock you get for ordering early on Samsung.com.
I called Samsung today just to see what's up with my order and they told me that they're shipping orders out this monday, the 17th and supposed to get it no later than the 20th. Which means probably Wed the 19th many of us get it since they use 2 day air. Samsung ships their promo stuff out of Indiana. Not sure where their phones ship from. Was hoping maybe get it on Tue if it ships really early. Us who ordered from Samsung might get it one day earlier than people who ordered it from carriers. It would be nice if they shipped it out tomorrow and we got it Monday.

Was there a mention of that dock when people ordered on samsung.com?
There was no mention of it when I ordered the S8+, only the VR.
I've ordered on march 29th, 00h30. Payment went thru right away, on my credit card; the whole CAD$1,290.10
The ****ty 90's looking Canadian order details page still says nothing about shipping.

I'm in the US and there was no mention of it, but people have posted pics of the dock they have received the last couple days. I think it was only if you ordered the first day of pre orders though. The VR should come with the phone next week.

my pre-order was posted on the 2nd of may... My cc was charged yesterday... I didn't get that gift speaker.

Pre-orders shipping the 15th (today) in the middle east (Qatar).

Don't be too sad, looks like me and everyone else that ordered from Best Buy and chose to have the device shipped wont get the phones till next week... When I ordered it said I would get it on the 21st, but today when the order fully went thru it says the 25th... And I can't even edit the order now to pick it up in person. Had they told me it wouldnt be shipped to me on release day, I would have been ok driving 30+ miles to the closest store location >.>

:fingers-crossed: by eod tomorrow! :fingers-crossed:

Purchase the phone from Vodacom online I believe
What a hassle, if you order from AT&T, you don't even get the stock headphones.
I'm a little jealous of your provider now.

I was about as close as I could have come to changing carriers. Was on the phone with retention, they cut me a deal on my bill and made it possible to get the upgrade for $99 (with the Best Buy trade-in) and I didn't lose my upgrade for next month, so I stayed for another two years.

I guess we just get effed over here in the US. I'm on Verizon, not only is the phone not released yet but early unboxings on youtube show that they removed the headphones as well. On top of that they removed the Samsung browser completely, if I didn't have unlimted data and 25% discount from my job I'd leave asap.

Pretty Sweet .. I wonder how the sound quality is ?
I've heard them at the best buy stores and I don't think the sound quality was that great. I mean they go for about $149 usd so if he got them for free I'd be all over it too. That's awesome.

Samsung had stock issues, should arrive next week. Based on reviews should be on a par with headphones like Beats rather than high-end like Bose and Sennheiser.

Very nice, this is what came with mine:
Someone told me that if you bought the Note 4 in store in the UK you could get these headphones too, has anyone managed it?
EDIT: After talking to the stores customer service, I have got the headphones for free too! They are being shipped for free now. That's £540 for the phone, £200 RRP speaker £300 RRP headphones, can get £200 combined for the set. I think I have done well here! £150 for my old phone and accessories and I've walked away with a £190 upgrade!

LG V20 page up on T-Mobile as Coming soon! Looks like its the week judging by G5

http://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phones/lg-v20.html
Page is up. Not much though but it looks like it may be preorderable this week and ship Friday maybe. I think this is how the G5 was. I dont think the G5 page was up very early before launch.
Sprint has had a very similar page up for weeks. Coming soon can mean anything. Hopefully, you're right based on your experience with TMO, because I'm sure they'll be available by both on the same day.
From my LG G3 ls990
The other thread is saying release is October 21. Hope not but I can wait if it is.
Apparently the v20 comes out next week (29) for south Korea and then "soon after" for the U.S and Hong Kong... Hopefully it comes out the first week of October
https://www.google.com/amp/www.andr...-717442/amp/?client=ms-android-hms-tmobile-us
The V10 was announced September 30th, 2015 and sold October 30th, 2015. Hopefully they improve upon that timeline for the V20.
I am hoping for a October 6th release.
Sigh.

Yeah, but that is still a leak (like the September 14th date) so I'm taking it with a grain of salt. Actual release could be before or after that.

Luckily my v10 is still running well.

ugh crap like this makes me worry. my g2 was my only LG smartphone and it was amazing... but I've had samsung since then, and have had no issues except lag. I want the v20 so bad bc i miss LG, but this bootloop thing is absolutely ridiculous.
anyway, hoping to god they release an unlocked one so I don't need verizon bloat.

I understand that. The V20 is still top on my list of new phones, but this is a huge problem. T-Mobile processed a replacement almost immediately, but since they use UPS and it doesn't ship on the weekend, I ended up using an iPhone (ugh) 4s (PAINFUL) for 3 and a half days. This and preliminary reports of crappy battery life really have made me think twice about the v20.
But I'll still probably get it.
I had the V10 from release until the release of the S7. Throughout all that time, I never had the bootloop issue. It sucks you guys have. I'm just torn between the Note 7 and V20.

Same here got a note 5 running all the note 7 features and I love them the new camera layout is cool so it would seem just right to move on to the note 7.
However oct. 4 I become jump + (can trade your phone in up to 3 times a year with no downpayment)
And I never owned a lg phone and the reviews look sick. The focus beaming really looks good.
So I'm thinking about giving it a whirl...

2 hrs per battery! You honestly think that it's the fault of the V10 or user?
I have had a V10 for 8 months, and I use Facebook and talon for twitter a lot. Unlimited data on Verizon so I stay on LTE. I also have a few games that I am addicted to and still have very decent battery life for what I do.

I'm glad you have good battery life. I do not.
It's 2 or so hours of screen on time. Or anything from 7 to 12 hours of real use. And no it's not the "user" as the other phones I have last two to three times as long. It dies even if I'm not using it. It dies over night. The battery drain is twice as fast as any other phone I've had.
It's the phone.

Samsung Promotions At&t Best Buy

Anybody get their promotional gifts from Samsung that bought from Best Buy yet? I put in for it on the 7th when I got my phone and status stills says approved..... Grrrr
I just sent out mine today. Promotion ended yesterday if you buy the note 8 now.
My status is still at 6 to 8 weeks. Claimed the gift one day after the release of pre-order.

I believe that this promotion is only being fulfilled by Samsung; no matter who you bought the Note 8 from. Like you, my status also says approved and that they will ship out between 6-8 weeks, so I guess we just need to be patient.
I claimed my gift September 11 and it shipped October 6th.

Anybody who got theirs did your status ever change from "will ship in X amount of weeks" or did it just show up one day?
I bought my phone on launch day for at&t and submitted my paperwork that day and it was approved that day but it just keeps saying 6-8 weeks. Just curious
Said 6-8 weeks then shipped with FedEx the next

I also ordered mine around the same time and from AT&T as well and about a week or so ago I got a notification that the items shipped (email and Samsung Shop app notification). I also had the 6-8 week message until it shipped. So you will be notified when it ships out. It was via FedEx 2 day.
So my Shop Samsung app got an update in the play store and now I can't see any evidence that my promotion has been claimed.
If anyone else here was in the "will ship in 6-8 weeks" phase, and also got an app update, can you check your app for status?

Same boat as you here... Go-to my inbox, FAQ, check gift status, enter email...
Thanks! Found it. I never thought looking in the FAQ would solve this.

Ironically, I got the email today saying that my items have shipped. Looks like it's taking them about 4 weeks to process those promotions.

This doesn't look right.. Been waiting forever and still no gifts..
Don't know when exactly it'll ship.

Anybody who got theirs did your status ever change from "will ship in X amount of weeks" or did it just show up one day?
I bought my phone on launch day for at&t and submitted my paperwork that day and it was approved that day but it just keeps saying 6-8 weeks. Just curious

Yes, the status changed to shipped.

Received mine on Friday. Said the delivery day was Monday... Jackpot! Finally! Comes with another fast charging plug and usb-c cable. Just finished moving files to the SD card. I take a lot of pictures and videos with my drone so I've been looking forward to the SD card. Wireless charger will sit on the office desk. Works well.

UK Pre-orders open today (extra 10% off for first week)

Hey,
Anyone else pre-ordered?
Just pre ordered mine, 10% for those who pre order before the 27th November, making it £629 which is a good price. Although you can buy them from the bay for £600 imported.
Still no word on release date just says December which is a bit annoying.
Also noticed its a dual sim phone (2nd sim tray used for sd card or sim) which is a nice added bonus, anyone else have some experience of how this works with HTC phones (i.e. can I use both sims at the same time for calls/texts?)
I've placed my preorder, has anyone had experience with HTC after sales support? It's either the U11+ or 2 XL for me and whilst I know the latter phone has had plenty of issues, I'm actually pretty happy with mine and am a stock/google fan anyway. Google have very good support whenever issues have come up; I've RMA'd a OG Pixel and Pixel C with no issue but am worried about buying from HTC directly. If it was via and fulfilled by Amazon I'd have no hesitation.

I've never had to use them (and have had several htcs) but I've heard some mixed reviews, some so they were really good and just swopped out the phone others have had issues.
You were in the same boat as me, but in the end the extra £300 for the 128gb pixel 2 xl wasn't worth it for me, the only big difference would be the software. I would love stock android but cant justify the price. I'm hoping something will be ported over but I doubt there will be much support for this device considering the very strange release strategy from HTC and not many people getting it.

Thanks for the reply! It's the bigger battery that's the main draw for me given my usage, though the £170 saving and dual SIM support are really nice bonuses too.
I'm hoping I'll be satisfied putting the ported Pixel Launcher on the phone, though how good is HTC with updates? I don't mind being behind Google but would hope for two years for major/flagship phones

Yer cant moan at the battery.
HTC aren't too bad with updates, for example Android 8.0 has just started rolling out to the htc u11 these past week or so. I would say they are on par with every other major OEM, but obviously not as good as google.
Ordered.. Shame no set date though At least apple launches have proper dates

I ordered it too, also wondering the date... I'm an impatient guy ahha
I ordered one too (though not from the UK site but the Rest of Europe one)! Let's hope for a delivery within 2017, that's the best we can hope for, I am afraid.

its the same site I believe? i.e. when you go to the uk site it then takes you to the eu store. Does for me anyway! confirmation email should be from [email protected]
Actually I have to pick Ireland in the country selector to the bottom left of the page and then, when trying to login to HTC club, it gives me two options. Ireland or Rest of Europe.

Strange, I'm pretty sure HTC will only have 1 warehouse doing the whole of Europe so hopefully shouldn't matter will still get the same time.
I hope we get the same time. I suppose the reason for the changes has to do with other reasons, like differences in charger plug etc.?
I asked support yesterday when it would ship - no reply yet :/
Pre Ordered one also. My first HTC phone ever.
Just perfect AND with a flat screen, what I have been waiting for.
Wish we had a date. Dec 2017 could be AFTER X-MAS
Maybe 3 weeks?
I'm from UK but I live in China and I preordered the translucent black variant of the phone here on the day it was announced, 02nd November. It was shipped out on 21st Nov and I received it today. I'll be posting pictures soon - just need some more posts here on XDA before I can post links!
So I'm not sure if it will be the same for Europe but here I received it exactly three weeks after preorder. Also the date on the back of the box says the phone was manufactured on 11/11/2017.

Not sure if it makes any difference, but what shipping method did you choose?

HTC China ship all of their products with one courier called SF Express. HTC shipped it at 5pm on 21st Nov with express delivery and I had it at 8am on 23rd Nov. Apparently HTC began manufacturing the translucent black variants here in China on 11th November and mine was sent out 10 days later from that date. Mine was, however, manufactured on 11th Nov.
Made my order on Monday too as I think current device meet my expectations and my needs more than anything else out there and would be successor of my ZTE Axon 7.
Hope being dispatched within first 10 days of December.

For some reason they decided to send the confirmation email to the paypal email address and not to the email that you used when you signed up at htc...
