So I have ordered the Samsung S8+ and right now waiting for delivery.
Made few calls to CS and I asked them one thing.
What is the advantage of ordering from your site instead of flipkart ?
They said, in future we would be releasing more offers which would be eligible for only customers who ordered from their site.
Right now few of the offers available on other locations are not available in India.
Could others who have pre-ordered from Samsung also check with CS if they say the same script or not... As no such information is released..

I have received no such info. But I do not think that S8 users will be distinguished on basis of where they ordered from.
And, if you're waiting for some more offers from Samsung, you might have to wait a long time.
Edit - US and Malaysia have offers like no other countries have. I envy them.

When you dock your phone into DeX, phone starts charging. You can try it.
Yes it does charge. But I think it's not using the wireless method but the USB C connection to change
Gear VR is not launched in India yet, so I hope they give some good discount for preorders as they for sure are not meeting the delivery dates!!

This might help.....http://www.samsung.com/us/peaceofmind/authorized_resellers.html
you might as well wait until the 15th and see what samsung as to say. Ordering from Negri and expasys, you wont have a direct warranty with samsung (they're not authorized resellers of samsungs product). its only two more days and i just read that in europe it will be available the next day, so hopefully its the same for the EMERICA!

Best Buy has wi-fi models on hand
I walked into my local Best Buy looking to get a TF Prime Infinity until I saw at least 10 white and black Note 10.1 wi-fi sitting in their tablet cabinet. I asked and employee about it but after numerous scans in their system, it wouldn't come up with a price so they couldn't sell it to me. I even asked about preordering but they couldn't find it in the system either. They said to check back this Sunday. Lets just say the thought of running out store with it crossed my mind....

So I guess no package deal with a gamepad? I thought there was an official announcement that there would be a $250 package.
Anyone have any recommendations for a gamepad to go along with the gear vr?

Damnit, guess I pulled the trigger too soon. Thanks though.
Now I'm dying to see if we can get it to work with CM12. I'll be using CM12 as a daily driver and IF Gear VR works on CM12 then I might buy it. But if it doesn't work, it's not worth the $200 and forced use of TouchWiz. I'd also accept MultiROM if we could get it out our devices, but that also seems unlikely.
Anyway, glad to see Gear VR finally on the market! Hope y'all enjoy it.
Oculus APK
I have the google cardboard, does anyone know if the Oculus apk will be available to those who don't have the VR headset? I was just hoping to check it out before I bought the VR dev kit.
No Gear VR for me. I have glasses.
any VR news for canadians?

Shouldn't be surprised, that is their motto after all...

Just letting everyone know this is the Innovator Edition meaning you can buy it, but its really a technology release for early adapters of technology and developers. If the technology doesn't take off.... there's a chance they may just scratch this product. Just an FYI....
I didn't catch the incompatibility thing in the description. Is that in the official website?
Mine is sitting here waiting for the update... VZ told me the 18th. I have screen shots of the chat session. Hopefully that was a cautionary date and the rollout will begin today.

Yup totally ok with it! It's cheaper than a standalone pair of video goggles and can work just like one if all else fails.

It's on their website now, was not yesterday. I spoke with Samsung and they said they found out from Verizon this morning and added it to the site then.
I was just about to by this today, but something told me to hold off and wait and I'm glad that I did. I just seen an article on Android Central stating that it wasn't compatible with Verizon or Sprint variants of the Note 4 at this time, and that the updates will be pushed out by the carriers.
If I would have spent $236 for this device and overnight shipping only to have a temporary plastic paper weight, I would have been extremely pissed.

Ahhh! Nice. I would definitely want to try these out first, though. Seeing is believing.
Also... A friend of mine asked me why Samsung chose to have the plastic overlay over the back of the phone. It blocks the camera. Did they not want people turning on the camera and stumbling around an augmented reality world or something?

If you had a rooted Sprint phone, you could probably steal the required app from a T-Mo device.
Here is a space to discuss best deals from various Networks, also to see if pre orders are shipped early as expected.
Discuss anything related to the process of ordering & delivery, free gifts and colour choices.
Carphone warehouse are offering up a free 128gb Micro SD card with the S9 & S9+.
I decided to stick with my Network Sky (who don't seem to be offering any free gifts) . My choice was to go for the S9+ in lillac purple (I dare to be different).
So please feel free UK buyers to use this space :good:
Hi dude, went for cpw too s9 plus in black aye shame we aint gettin any better deals like free wireless charger etc
We seldom do get great deals, but a 128gb SD card is not to bad although a wireless charger or new dex is obviously better :silly:
Pre orders start shipping on the 9th, will be interesting to test the most improved feature (That camera) and how it compares with my Pixel XL 2 & iPhone X :good:

Ordered via Samsung I just hope its arrives before I go to work.
I am in the US but ordered from Clove.co.uk - they told me the pre-order was shipping on the 8th - I hope that happens, I can't wait to snap a few pictures with that Camera and see for myself how good it is - read several reviews yesterday and I am more excited than ever.

I thought it was a lot cheaper where you are. £869 is roughly $1200.
s9+ ordered from the Samsung store coming from my very battered and bruised s7 edge, pretty excited!
What colour did everyone go for? I'm breaking from tradition and going for the Coral Blue (Always had black)
murican here. Ordered the UK model cuz of the storage and Exynos. So I halfway belong here.

Ran me $1,023 vs $840 before tax for the gimped U.S. model. For the extra money I'm getting 128GB and Exynos (and all its perks). Definitely worth the extra, and the fact that there are no free items this time made the choice that much easier.

Expensive purchase hope no customs tax on top of that? Not sure how it works in the states?
Most certainly the correct decision bro :good:
Yeah seems like a better decision to go for.
But check ur bands to make sure u can actually use the exynos version in the States, there are some diff ones especially with likes of t mobile etc
Just a reminder guys that if you are ordering directly and have an older phone to make sure you pick up a nano SIM.
You don't that suprise on delivery.
Have a good weekend guys.

Hello Everyone,
Hope you all are safe and doing well. I purchased note 20 ultra from freedom booth in Canada and i have it for about 2 weeks now. I was little late to contact samsung regarding wired earphones so today i finally contacted Samsung official live chat here in canada to request a free pair and the agent told me that here in canada, samsung does not have that promotion for note 20 users. I am attaching a screenshot if anyone wants to see the conversation. So my question is is there anybody here from canada who actually got the akg tuned earphones for free shipped them somehow? If yes how did you guys contacted them?
P.S - i have tried calling 1800-SAMSUNG but they had me on hold for almost half an hour so i ended the call

Thanks for posting this, I posted this information over a week ago in the US thread as well to try and let Canadians know
We in Canada are once again an afterthought for samsung....its getting tiresome thats for sure especially after dropping more than 2k on a device. We didnt even get rhe white version here in Canada either
We expect the same customer experience here as the US gets samsung....pull your head out of your ass and get with the program
Lol, too much hassle for something that won't be used. Wired earphones? No thanks.
I know its not much, but I agree with Force. I'm in US but it should be the same across the board.

I like wired earphones. I have Sony WF-1000MX3 and it runs out of juice pretty easily and having a backup wired pair is a bliss on those times and it's not just why would i hassle for 30$ earphones? It's just when you buy a 2000$ phone you expect few things and the reason why i have always preffered/liked android , especially samsung is because they have always provided basic accessories. If samsung follows apple in what should go in the box, expect just a device in the next note box.

I ended up pre-ordering the Saturday after unpacked.
Going with Burgundy 512GB.
The store staff did tell me I would get it before "launch day" but weren't sure exactly when I'd get it.
Hopefully this week.

Post some pictures once you received you phone.
Ordered mine on Sunday through the Samsung Education store. Benefit of working at a uni
Got the S22 Ultra, Buds 2, and smart view case for $1064. That was with the bonus you get by trading in a device. I got $365 for the device, plus extra $250 just for trading in a device. And the $200 of free accessories.
Also got the free Samsung Care+.
Not a bad deal really
The eagle has landed, and I got another email saying my tab is on its way..... Good day!
