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.
Who pre-ordered through best buy to get the $100 credit?
What is your order's status? Mine still shows processing.
Has anyone ever gotten a phone later than the release date when the pre ordered through them. I will be ticked if I "Pre-ordered" and don't get it on day 1.
Processing
Likely update tomorrow. Be patient. There is nothing to suggest we won't have our devices day 1.

I preordered on 3/30 and my order is "in progress" with expected delivery by 4/21.
Originally pre-ordered on 3/30. Canceled it to change it to the S8+ on 4/5 and as of my typing this, mine still says, "Order Processing." I'm picking mine up in-store, so not sure how that'll factor in me getting the device.
Same here . Processing

Just received my $100 coupon ten minutes ago via email. Status is still processing though
I pre ordered 2 s8 plus through Best buy online on March 30th. Thought the $100 is supposed to come off the price for each month's payment? Didn't know we would receive a coupon. Sprint is my provider.

I just got that coupon as well. I believe it does come off the monthly payment, but since this discount is exclusive to Best Buy, when you pre-order, it's at full price (when I looked at my original pre-order order, it's at $849.99), but will be adjusted when you get the phone. At least that's how I understand it.
I'm still processing, to be delivered by 4/21. I placed my order on 4/10.
I ordered on 04/03.
Hold for $839 placed on my AMEX instantly.
Went away after a few days as expected.
I'll know when they pull the phone and slap it in a box for shipping instantly because the AMEX app will ping me when the charge goes through.
I specifically ordered this to be shipped and delivered by 04/21 because I don't feel like dealing with the crowds on release day at BB.
AND, I also remember a fiasco where some went to pick up their phones and the delivery did NOT make it so they had to wait until the following Monday.
Imagine that!
Due to lack of Note 7 inventory for my "day 1" preorder I questioned several BB PEEPS. I have been told in store by both Samsung Experience rep and long time BB cellular employee that they have over compensated with their orders this time around. Sunday/weekly flyer guaranteed availability on release date if preordered by 4/20.
Thanks everyone for the updates on their devices. I'm sure BB will come through as they did 2 years ago with my s6 edge plus, but I always get paranoid that mine will be the one that doesn't show up lol.
I will have to see if I can track down this $100 coupon in my email. Maybe they process it as a down payment which knocks $100 off of the phone?
Edit: No coupon for me
The coupon they are talking about is if you Pre-Ordered in store. If you processed online for pickup instore then you do not need the coupon. I placed a pre-order for the S8+ online (3/30) for pickup in store. I am on Verizon and under my documents page on MyVerizon it already shows the new edge agreement with the total amount financed at $716. BestBuy FTW on the initial savings, just have to suffice with potentially waiting until 10am Friday vs early Verizon shipments.

Yeah, I pre-ordered in-store. Didn't know that you don't get a coupon if you pre-ordered online. I just assumed everyone who pre-ordered from Best Buy got one. Funny enough, when I logged into my AT&T account, I see the discounted price for the phone.
For those who got the coupon: I know it says that you need to print it out when you pick it up, but can you get away with them scanning the code from your phone?
Changed to Preparing
Preordered on 4/1. Status online just changed from Processing to Preparing and am no longer able to cancel at all.
Though I'm concerned that the Get it by date has changed from Friday to now 4/25. Going to really be upset if it doesn't show up by launch day :crying:
Mine is still processing. If it's not at my house till Saturday(out of town till then) I'll go and pick up one where available and Ill refuze the package

still in pre-order
Ordered mine on 04/08. Also was "awaiting authorization" next to my credit card number. I hope that is not an issue with the card and that they will charge the sales tax when they ship.
Mine has changed to preparing with "get it by Tuesday 04/25" as well.
I may order again to pick up in store on 04/21 and just cancel the other order.
This is ridiculous but being Best Buy, not surprising.
Just called Best Buy. Your wait time is 2 hrs 54 mins. I'm cancelling and trying somewhere else!

They just need the barcode visible for their scanner. On the phone is ok, I'm sure.
Anyone else received their free speaker? I took delivery of mine this morning and am rather impressed - what a nice little freebie! I sounds better than I thought it would and goes way louder than other Bluetooth speakers I have used.
I registered my claim on 20th April and got the 'Claim Validated' email on 8 May.
Is this carrier specific? I didn't know about any free speakers, but I'm on Tmobile

It was an offer by the UK's CarphoneWarehouse on pre-orders of the S8. I would buy one if I didn't get it free - it is a Samsung branded IPx7 water resistant speaker and can provide power to charge your phone. Apparently not too expensive online through eBay. Looks really nice and perfect for my bathroom!
Oh ok. In the US here. I was thinking about Bluetooth speaker maybe to attach to my road bike or just to have around the house too. I use Amazon a lot and sometimes Ebay

My claim ID was 213. I did pick up my S8 around 9.30 am on 20th April and submitted the claim within the hour, lol!
Probably got a while before getting mine then as I'm 29102, validated 9th May.
It was the only decent offer in the UK - the VR Americans got would have been better and help the VR ecosystem increase in popularity.
Claim number 12000ish and got validated 8th May. I hope to see mine next day or two.
Just got mine through today, didn't realise after getting the message saying your claim has been validated, you get a final message saying your claim has been processed
Got mine yesterday. It is quite good. Takes forever to charge but imagine i won't be charging it often. The Samsung Level app is useful.
I received mine today but the micro usb doesn't fit the s8+ so if I wanted to use it as a portable charger does that mean I have to buy a different connecter?

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*.

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
I ordered a gray and pink 256mb flip 3s on 8/13. A few weeks ago got an email stating a 30 day delay which I read was more that the phones haven't shipped yet and its been 30 days.
My estimated delivery has always been 9/21. Well I just got a new email stating phones are delayed with no new shipping date available. My 9/21 date is now gone from my app and only shows order date of 8/13.
Anyone else get delayed? I kind of wish I got the black and just skinned it to change up colors.
That's strange. What market are you in? I ordered the 256gb gray one on the 15/08. Received it on the 10/09. I'm in the UK.
A 30 day delay could mean the beginning of October (~ 10/8). Typically, they mean business days.
The release was 8/27, so the actual order date only matters for your place in line when they become available. The estimate also relies on every shipment being as large or larger than predicted.
Realistically, I ordered a (whatever) white Note 20 Ultra that looked really nice the whole four times I saw it without a case. One of those times was when taking it to be repaired because the adhesive under the glass magically began to peel and the other was when I sent it in for a trade-in. I got black this time.
I ordered mine on the 16/9, and it arrived on 17/9... I didn't even know stock shortages were a thing for this phone.
Of course they added the 'free watch' offer on the 17th, so I'm now having to go through the process of returning this day-old phone and ordering a new on just so I can get the offer, and there's probably going to be a shortage now..
I'm in Egypt. I ordered my phone from Samsung on 15/08 and was supposed to be delivered by the 7th of September. My phone was delayed for a week, then, Samsung decided to ship the phone without the gift leather case and without the 1-year accidental screen damage replacement card.
They sent an email stating that the gifts will be delayed for two weeks, however I received my phone yesterday.

What carrier was offering the free watch?
Update this morning. Order when from customizing to created and cancel button gone. Now 10 minutes later order is now "in process". Might be getting soon?!
And its shipped! Just got notification earlier this evening. Will be here in 2 days. Very excited.
Well...2day via fedex is a bust. "Potentially delayed" and stuck at the local fedex about an hour away...was suppose to arrive yesterday, no new delivery date posted. Samsung did offer an additional 5% off order once it delivers so that is good.
I've had 10 delays from this same fedex in the past, one being a month long fiasco. So I am not expecting my flip 3's anytime soon.
Worst case scenario I will just pick up the black flips at best buy or tmobile next week and call it a day.
I picked up the black one in store.
