Launch date is Feb. 20
https://www.sammobile.com/2019/01/10/galaxy-s10-launch-date-february-20/

Gotta start saving! Did the mistake of buying a Sony after using my S5 for more than two years. Going to be great to return to a Samsung.

Waiting for the "Beauty And The Beast" to be launched.

Feb 20th is taking forever...

If pre-ordered from what I read...

Yes I read announced 2/20 for pre-order and hits the market on 3/8. I signed up to reserve a pre-order spot for me and my husband cause of the $550 trade in. I hope they give away the new galaxy buds too. I called Best Buy to see if they knew what their deals were going to be yet and he said they won't know till the announcement date and when it's time to pre-order. I can't see Best Buy giving $550 trade in though.

Is they announce, they'll give away galaxy earbuds along with S10.

You think they will give them away too or they've already announced it? I'm guessing will know on the 20th that is when we will pre-order for a guaranteed 3/8 delivery.

I don't know what to do now lots of people over on slick deals are saying Samsung has screwed them over and tired to say their phone was messed up once they got it and not giving the full amount you think your getting. Now I see Best Buy is doing $550 too so I am not sure who to order from now. And yes I am so glad the buds are free with it. Now to pick a color.

I see where the phone will be available on March 8 at my Bestbuy while Samsung has given me a shipping date of March 15. I looked on Bestbuy's website to think about trading there instead but saw this, "Trade-in valid in store only. Minimum savings is $50. Savings excludes unlocked phones. Terms and conditions apply". Since BB is only accepting locked phones that leaves me out.

No my Best Buy and I asked them over and over in store and on the phone before I went in their is 2 deals a 650 and a 550. I am trading in my unlocked S9plus and buying an unlo9cked S10plus. When the phone comes in go to pick it up turn in my S9plus and get 550 off my S10plus. I was told this by 2 people in store and when I called I asked the guy 3 times and he said has to be done in store and I said well I am coming in let me repeat my self to make sure you understand what I want to do and I want to make sure your telling me correctly and I got his name. I have pre-order reserve date.

I preordered S10+ today will get it on March 1 with Buds.

I hope so on your part. I've already started the trade-in with Samsung but was out earlier and wanted to look at the phone at Best Buy. I asked the Samsung salesman in the store and he told me they were restricted to carrier locked phones only for the trade-in program. There was another sales person standing there and she didn't correct him. At least you got a name and if they then refuse you can just cancel the sale altogether.

I went to my local authorised Samsung shop and paid 20% deposit. Despite online preorders coming to customers only on March 6 shop personnel assured me that on March 1 I can visit shop and get my phone.
The shop already had display units so I guess they have some stock.

Already Got it.

My area ATT store - phone not found

I live in the Orlando FL area.
Today went to pre order the phone and they could not find it in their system, chatted on line with ATT rep, it was on line available but try as they might, the store guys couldn't find it....how odd.
Well I got a 50.00 discount on my phone bill as a result. They were very embarrasssed.
I understood their confusion but I am still shaking my head. Came home and didn't get it, still trying to work thru the whole experience.
Yup.
Same here.
I can get a new phone with a discounted price February 29th. They said I can preorder it if I go to the store, since they can waive the date because the phone comes out in the same month.
So I went in, and they couldnt find it in their system. They had me talk to two different people at ATT customer support, and they said you can only preorder online. Which I cant do because my contract cant get waived online.
So have to wait untill the 19th, and get it in store. Or they said if I call on the 19th, they will ship it out with next day shipping for free.
Have them look it up by sku when they direct fulfill your phone upgrade or new line. It doesn't show up in the master list for some reason but it is searchable by the sku number.
Carbon Blue (aka Blackish): SKU 65503
White: SKU 65371
I called to register my GN today that I bought from eBay and they said the IMEI in there system was for a Motorola phone, I had to give them my IMEI manually.

Not true about the online only, if you pre-order online or in a store it will ship to your house on the 17th, 2 days before launch.

And yes, same issue in my store. SKU came up with nothing at all for both colors.
Customer care couldn't do **** about it. I'll try again tomorrow.
I know it's like an hour drive (depending on traffic on I-4 of course) from Orlando, but I can tell you the Best Buy in Daytona Beach is taking pre-orders. I pre-ordered mine yesterday. Maybe try the Best Buy at The Mall at Millennia.

That because in I wanna say September if I remember correctly at&t switched all upgrades to same month upgrades for our customers... so if it is lets say Feb 22nd for your upgrade date, you can really do it anytime in that month of February. They also switched them from the old 21 month upgrade date to 20 months instead.

no problem... i went in to upgrade my line yesterday on my day off with my manager and it wasn't showing up so I was like I'm not leaving until this is preordered lol... I had him try it that way with the sku and it came right up and was good to go as I have seen that issue in the past with a different smartphone launch.

Stealth Black Availability?

Has anyone seen any in stores/etc? I really want the black one, but am running out of time to buy the phone and still be eligable for the $100 trade in promotion which makes it much more worth while. Most stores I've called say not announced... but one store said a few stores have started getting them. I'd even consider the unlocked or dev version from htc direct, but hence no black available there either...
I'm starting to wonder if the black is worth the extra $100 over the silver... but I'm not sold on the silver yet.

All I know is they are over -150 orders in and they are just waiting for them to start showing up. If you cut it close get the silver and just trade it before the 14 days. I am hopeful that it will be either tomorrow or early next week.
I have not heard from a single person who has got it...
I've seen it in store as a demo and was offered one today but ended up buying the silver. I'm in Atlanta for your reference.

If you trade it, even though it is the same phone, you are still in the hook for the $35 restocking fee, right?

probably but I'm sure you probably can try to argue that it was suppose to be out the 19th and you had to get the rebate just to see what they said. I just talked to AT&T and it may be better news she said that the preorders and now at -144 so either they started shipping some or people canceled the orders.
I guess I'll call some Best Buys today then... I bet they'd even price match Walmart's $150. I'll also try calling a few corporate stores again today, though I'm sure they're tired of people calling.

I was at best buys yesterday and almost purchased a silver one. They approved the price match with walmart without hesitation. Decided to hold off and wait for the black but it's getting really difficult.

Unless they actually checked the availability right in front of you there's reason to believe them. I've been misled several times already.
I don't follow market trends or tactics but if I had to make a guess. You will see the black show up on the S4 release date.
Additionally, I'm surprised BB matched Wal-Mart. The price match doesn't include wireless phones. At least that is what their policy states.

my BBY said they stopped that practice. And I was trying so hard to wait to see if my Radio Shack was getting it so i could do the $50 Play store card. but they have no info on it. So I called ATT chewed them out and got the silver one for $150 free overnight and no activation fee. Im currently siting by the door lol im so impatient couldn't wait any longer:laugh:

$50 off and free overnight shipping at the Google Store

If you purchased it, and received it (receive date is what matters) any time from November 27th up until today, you will be fine. Just go to the Google website and contact them through chat. They will adjust the price for you.

Ah, yeah, I placed the order for mine on 11/6 (and that particular order shipped before my original pre-order even processed...) so I doubt they'll honor the request, but I'll ask anyways. I feel like my order was just long ago enough that they won't do the price adjustment, but the $50 off promotion is just close enough to my order date for it to sting.
Just a heads up, if you bought your phone from Project Fi, the promo is apparently not eligible. I bought mine from Project Fi on Sunday and just saw this promo so I called to get the credit and had to jump through quite a few loops in order to get credit.
Wish they would credit me the $18.99 I paid yesterday for overnight shipping since it's free now...
This did not work for me. They told me only orders made from 12/1 to 12/15 are eligible for price adjustments. They did say I can just return my phone and order a new one. Placed an order for a new one. Should arrive tomorrow or the next. Guess it's time to make a nandroid backup.
Thanks for the heads up on this information.
FYI: I ordered on 11/27 and received it 11/30. ugh. 1 freaking day.
Project Fi and they refunded shipping and $50
I ordered and received mine mid November assuming the price wouldn't drop so quickly, given Google discounted only the 5X early on. And now I see this...get facked Google. This is exactly why Google and Android as a whole will never come close to Apple when it comes to brand cachet. I can barely understand them discounting the 5X so quickly, but given the 6P isn't even 3 months old yet, and is their flagship phone, it's unbelievable they're already offering such a discount on them.
Say what you want about Apple's ecosystem, at least their devices don't go straight into the bargain bin in a matter of 3-6 months. The amount the Nexus 6 tanked on Black Friday on Amazon was just ridiculous, relative to what it originally costed just a year ago.

Yes same here, there are multiple posts on Reddit confirming the Dec 1 date from Google Customer Service reps (perhaps 15 day price match policy). I ordered a 6P on 11/27 as a Christmas gift for someone. I submitted a return for it today and ordered another one to get the -$50 discount. I know this is cheap, but it hasn't even been opened since it's a Xmas gift. Thankfully Google covers shipping.
I just ordered one today. Will be coming from an LG G4. Was originally going to get the 5x but didn't like the specs of it too much and the 6p was a bit too expensive. Can't wait

Anyone Else Order From Best Buy?

I took a quick look and didn't find any Best Buy topics. I pre-ordered a Verizon Note 8 Orchid Gray. Still charged and no movement. Btw I did the best buy preorder to get the 150 instant off

Hey thanks guys..been off xda for awhile. I cancelled two Verizon preorders for the Best Buy deal because it was worth it for me. Guess we have to wait
We're talking $10 a day here. Maybe 15
I cancelled my VZW pre-order yesterday and went with Best Buy to save the 150. I'll be OK waiting until the 15th.
happens everytime lol. so funny. I pre order from vzw. best buy ships early.. I order from bestbuy. verizon ships early... i give up lol.
Anyone notice you can no longer make changes to your Best Buy pre order? I didn't notice that yesterday. It seems like at least 2 of the carriers are shipping now despite what VZW and Samsung say.

I know. I had a VZ pre-order done within minutes when it went live. I cancelled yesterday to get the 150 off and still get the 480 for my S7 Edge. Oh well, in the long run we'll be glad we saved the 150.
150 buys the vr goggles.
So from reading the other chats, looks like Samsung is holding the deliveries for everyone. Maybe we'll get them the same time as everyone

Great way to look at it lol
Does anyone know how the trade in works. It says you have to go through Verizon. I didn't see anything about it when I ordered
I ordered two of them a couple of days ago. Best Buy says that they'll be in my hands by 9/15. Hope it's true.

Check out the VZW waiting room thread. I spoke to VZW and Best Buy at length about this. VZW told me if you buy from Best Buy I don't get the 480 for my S7 Edge. Best Buy says I do and that they made that deal with Verizon months ago. The idiot from VZ said he saw the promo for buying it from VZW and one for when you walk into Best Buy and preorder it but nothing about buying on line. I did screen shots from the Best Buy site showing that the 480 deal with the fine print that the deal is directly with VZ. Best buy says once I activate my Note 8 I have to take my S7 Edge into a Verizon corporate store and they will take the phone and apply the discount to my monthly payments. They also told me that it takes 3 months before the credit will come through but it's pro rated from the day you buy the phone.
We will see. To save 150 I'm willing to beat up VZW.

Thanks for the information.. before I ordered I thought best buy did the trade in but I guess not ..I'm still looking on eBay and swappa for a trade in device
It would be hilarious if the carriers are instructed to hold the shipments at the distribution centers until the 14th! LOL
Classic story.
The guy on the first shoulder says "You are saving money every month by waiting a week or two, you will have plenty of time to enjoy the phone."
The other guy says "Cancel that Best Buy order today, order from AT&T. You've been using an iPhone for 9 months you have suffered enough. The discount isn't worth using an iPhone for one more week."
Then the first guys says "Oh come on, the iPhone isn't THAT bad."
Then the second guy pulls out a handgun and shoots him.
I don't know what to do.

My Best Buy order status has changed from "Processing" to "Preparing". I logged onto my Verizon wireless account and attempted to trade in my Pixel XL. It shows a promotional $480 trade in value! I also noticed my line is no longer eligable for trade in and I owe $786/24 payments! I hope it ships soon!

Samsung says all preorders will get their phone by September 14th

I hate to start another waiting room thread, but I stumbled across a few articles wherein Samsung commits to every preorder being delivered by 9/14. Here's one:
http://bgr.com/2017/09/08/galaxy-note-8-preorders-sales-numbers-vs-galaxy-s8/
"Some customers who pre-ordered from Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, and Samsung.com have already received their devices, and Samsung has said that any customers who order a Note 8 from Samsung.com today will receive it on or before September 14th β€” still a day before it’s scheduled to show up in stores."
A different article stated that Samsung is doing this to deflate the upcoming I-Phone release. Anyone have any thoughts on this? With all the late september/early october shipping estimates that we got when we ordered (I ordered unlocked under the note 7 promo last week, got an October 1st shipping estimate), is it possible that they will all be delivered this week?
Dud I also got the Oct 1 date for the unlocked version, I would call Samsung if you can't wait.
I never said I can't wait... did I?
Just a recent news story to provoke thoughtful discussion on a somewhat hot forum topic.
I don't know, doesn't seem to be any logic or reason behind Samsung shipping phones. Some people ordered last Friday and got the phones yesterday or today. Some like myself ordered on the 24th and still have nothing. Would like to believe it, but I will be surprised at this point If I get my phone this week. Samsung already failed to live up to its promises made to me, so I don't have much faith in them.

There is already a thread here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/how-to/note-8-direct-samsung-waiting-t3664065

Unlocked Note 8
Ordered Samsung.com 8/24
Delivered 9/7
I wish that I ordered from Samsung or Verizon, instead of Best Buy. As of this morning, my phones are still sitting in preordered status. My card hasn't even been charged yet. No way that I'll have it by 9/15.

Cancel your order then go to a BB and get your phone there on 9/15? Or is the $150 off for orders before 9/15 only?

The $150 is only for preorders. That goes away on the 15th. That's the only reason that I did it that way.

Yeah, if it were me, I can wait a few days for $150

Yup. My Note 4 is still holding up. I can wait.
Just a bit jealous of all of the people who already have them. I know that this is how BB does things, though. Is what it is, I guess.
Looks like this was fud as well. 14th is here, and I doubt mine will show up. I now hopefully will get it before October. The 150 dollars in now going on week 3 of watching other people get thier phones. Doesn't help that Samsung customer lack of service has mislead me time and time again.
