I've read / seen reviews for the VR headset, AKG BT headphones and the 256gb memory card, all top notch. Looking forward to it. 6-8 weeks though :crying:

Oh wow! I'm sorry to hear that. Days not even over and they're already sold out. Wonder if that's a record of some kind? How many units did they have to offer you figure?
I have 2 gs8, so I bought 2 full packs. If you did the rebate on the Samsung shop app than it only takes 2 days free shipping
I get mine on Monday
To answer other question there was 50k acquirable bundles so all but 50k have been claimed I shoulda bought more as they didn't limit how many you could buy
2 sets was $213 USD equating to $800 retail savings
mine went in at about 11am est. hope i got one. still no email but says under review. wanted the whole pack
Mine arrives tuesday, I got my tracking number and everything
Coming on Tuesday as well. Ordered it at 12:30am Thursday morning via the website.
My wife ordered hers after me, but she has already gotten a tracking number and mine just says confirmed.
the $99 pack was sold out by the time i went to register....i was/am pissed about that so i had to quickly go for the free vr as i was afraid it was gonna sell out aswell.
So I lucked out then. I was able to get mine today.
No, not ordered it.
But was pleasantly surprised to find my s8+ works in my wife's s7 vr ?
Awesome!

That's good to hear. I believe I read somewhere that the controller is compatible with that model, and you'll be able to purchase it separately.

That's great news! Thanks for letting me know!
Wasn't sure if it would have been sold separately.
Probably going to still pick a game pad up for some of the more complex cames.
Not sure if it's just my old man eyes, but the screen door effect seems less then the s7 edge.
Still like having a bee keepers mask on tho ?
But i don't mind.
Ordered yesterday and it said will ship in 2 to 3 business days.
Ordered on the 19th and still just says confirmed.
Ordered mine today after 4 days of thinking I had accidentally been assigned the Gear VR only. Pleasantly surprised when I saw the email with the order link come in on my new Gear S2
now mine says order approved but i never got a link to pay?
Fully immersive experience
So, I registered, got approved and got a tracking number. It had said I could only get the headset because the other package had sold out. Then, I also got an email with the link to pay the $99 for the fully immersive and so I paid for the pack. The money has come out of my account and all. Wondering if I will get two headsets or what. Any ideas??

That's why I'm hesitating to get it anywhere else but the Playstore. Was hoping the newer model versions will have some of these defects lessened.

That also means that its a bigger headache if you are wrong and the defects are still there. Main reason why i bought it from a store is so that I can exchange/return it without a restock fee and shipping

Beat me to it...Staples has an extended returning policy until Jan 15 2013, so I can return it in case I change my mind or find a better deal unless they price match.
I cannot say for sure but based on information I collected across the forums and in store, It looks like Staples and Walmart are getting two units per shipment, so you can get one if you are persistent.
Just left Walmart here in Abingdon, MD and they had two in the case

Yes, but be quick though or get the one from Staples first before cancelling your order, they are a few units and are selling like hot cake
Staples employees were actually surprised when I asked and they realized they had one in stock so in my case I was kinda lucky nobody noticed it before I arrived.
I know isn't something cheap but the demand still higher than the supply.

Thanks! For some reason my searches for Nexus on Walmart site are bringing only the 7"model.
Just tried Walmart again and it worked just fine. 7:17am eastern time (New Jersey). Showing in stock with delivery on or before 12/24. You might want to check the Staples site again too. They had them back in stock online as of yesterday.

My wife was able to pick one up at our local Staples today. She called and they actually had multiple in stock. Judging from the website we also would have been able to get one from our local Walmart, but we didn't verify after Staples worked out.

Just bought a 32gb from Staples, got 5% discount from their staples rewards and no waiting game!. This thing is amazing. I think it worked out pretty alright.
Didnt notice any light bleed on mine that everyone has been complaining about. I did notice that the seals were cut before purchasing. Manager said when he put the sample up, he noticed it and saw that all boxes had the seals cut. Not sure what it was but just a couple of dust specs on the screen plastic cover but nothing else. Noticed it was turned out a couple of times in the battery stats but no system information was inputted or setup.
Loving this tablet, my first. Just waiting for my case to come.
damn that sucks
16 gig is out of stock too!! Dam! Was going to order this week!

I had been hoping for the same thing but the S View case is $59.99, which is above the $50 limit. You can get a battery or sickening like that. That's about it.
Yeah i had missed the $50 limit previously. Maybe i'll go ahead and order a second battery, but i'm not sure i need it at this point. I went ahead and picked a case off ebay.

I think Samsung has 50% off coupons floating around year-round, the prices are inflated for you to use the coupons. I got my Note 2 batteries from there last year with the coupon. I think the Note 3 battery will cost about $50, so with a 50% coupon it'll be about $25-30 shipped, which is about double the price you'll pay for a Hyperion/Anker battery from Amazon.
This sounds stupid but where the heck is the serial number located

You can just get the coupon codes here, no need to register you phone.
http://www.retailmenot.com/view/samsung.com
They have 50% off codes all year long.
Codes expire in 90 days, or 3 months. Batteries are usually 39.99, so they end up being 20 after coupon.
Use the imei number as the serial number

Pre-order live in the UK now - here
Ships on the 7th Nov - just ordered and I have not even got a samsung Tab or Phone! :laugh:
Should be fun trying to set it up with my Xperia
I saw the pre-order go up early this morning and was planning on paying for the black one this afternoon but they were sold out by the time I got around to paying for it at 12pm today so I ordered the white one.. lol
Hopefully no delays and should have one by Monday 10th.

Has not changed yet, but I noticed that the actual payment went through last night. Had been on hold until then.

Out of interest why did you decide on the Note 3 instead of the 4? The difference in simfree price is £80 from Samsungs site or did you get the Note 3 on contract?

Got a grade A return from Smartfonestore for £300, almost got one a few months back - the Gear S forced the issue
The 3 is so good at that price, it didn't seem worth the extra £300 for a new 4

That's a great price for the Note 3. Mine's been an excellent performer up until a couple of weeks ago when I decided to sell it to make way for the Note 4.

Me too, I like big phones (have an Xperia Z ultra at the moment, so the note 3 is actually compact for me!), but they are not always great when you don't have somewhere to put them while you are out.
The Gear S is the first wearable device that ticks all the boxes for me, great screen, works as a mobile device independently and syncs to my phone when used as a companion device - brilliant.
Won't be for everyone, the price is a bit steep compared to other wearable devices, but it is a magnitude above them in usefulness and features too.
I am sure this will sell really well when the price drops - the pre-order sold out pretty quickly, even at rrp.
Hopefully we will get them on Friday, but they may only dispatch then?
O2 stores are getting them in on Friday, if stock is available in store Friday, I don't se why we shouldn't get ours then too?
Same here. Can't get along with small handsets. Much prefer something large and with some weight. Also had a Z Ultra which was great but ultimately had problems carrying it about.
When I had the Note 3 I also had the Zerolemon 10000mah battery (which would get me through 3-4 days of moderate to heavy use) plus rugged case and as this combination made the handset absolutely huge I purchased the Gear 1 so that most of the time when out I would rely on notifications coming through to the Gear and not have to take out the Note 3 - absolutely perfect!
You're right I'm also sure the Gear S will start selling once the price drops somewhat. It certainly has the best screen of all the wearables so far and once they become popular it will certainly hold its own against the competition.
The only one problem I may face with the Gear S is getting the screen marked/damaged as I'm always knocking my Gear 1 into something and it's ended up with a few blemishes on screen and on its bezel - and I'm usually extremely careful with my devices. So I may have to get some sort of screen protector or wear it facing me on the other side of my wrist!!!
I gave Samsung a call earlier and the rep stated that delivery will be due this Friday rather than shipping on that day so if they prepare to dispatch Thursday then delivery on release day is one the cards. We'll see...
Good news about delivery on Friday (Hopefully) I am always chipping away at my watches too! Going to have to remember to remove it when doing any 'real work' - be great if they do a tempered glass protector for it - there are some plastic ones from skinomi on Amazon (Gear S screen Tech Skin), but they don't launch until the 14th
Hoping the watch comes with a shipping screen guard - will try to use that as a template to cut a temporary one from a spare phone protector.

Just after I posted it went into "Preparing for dispatch". I tweeted Samsung UK, and they checked my order and confirmed it will go out today for delivery tomorrow! I have a Three PAYG SIM waiting to put into it .... Do any UK networks offer "personal users" multi-sim contracts? This is where two SIMs have the same phone number associated with them
Mines also showing "preparing for dispatch" so yes hopefully delivery tomorrow.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I don't believe any UK carriers offer multi-sim contracts whereas in the US some do.
I was also considering this option but as I currently have two contracts I may as well put my second sim into the Gear S.

Although the order status hasn't changed, I just got a text from ukmail saying it is intended for delivery tomorrow. For me UKMail is reliable (touch wood) in my area, but they send out a 1 hour timeslot that is totally and utterly wrong. Last time they said delivery at 3:30-4:30 and it turned up about 12:30!
Mine is preparing too now. My note has not arrived yet - tomorrow too hopefully
I read on another post that you can press the hardware button 25 times to activate the watch without the initial pairing to a Samsung device - might be doing that tomorrow.
*** BREAKING NEWS *** whilst typing this I got a text indicating it has been dispatched and on its way via UK Mail (YUSEN Logistics UK LTD)
Yep also just received a UKMail text..tracking shows booked and awaiting collection
Out for delivery now.....as I mentioned above though, do not rely on the 1 hour time slot given by UKMail. Mine says 4:30-5:30...I suspect it will be here considerably earlier in the day.
I am curious what others are doing for SIM cards then? I thought the best thing to do was to get a PAYG SIM installed, but most of the networks only give a decent pricing if you agree to a monthly rate? This seems counter to my thoughts on PAYG which used to be where you just topped up with credit and could use it over months/years if you wanted to. If you look at Giff Gaff, only monthly, O2, only monthly, Vodafone do both but the credit PAYG has rediculous data charges. EE only monthly. So for the moment I went with Three as they have the 3,2,1 PAYG price plan which is credit based. My main phone is Three and ideally I wanted a different network so I could make calls if the reception was marginal on one of them.

Keep in mind folks, Verizon pre orders were supposedly set to arrive yesterday according to reports here. People were so happy they were getting their Note 8's 2 weeks early. Those users did get a delivery from Verizon but it was simply a case. My bet is no one gets theirs prior to the 13th-15th.

Great! Please post when it's actually in your possession.
Mine is sitting 5 miles away at the UPS facility. I already received my return kits for my current phone and the parcel at UPS weighs 1.5 pounds. I called and asked if I could pick it up ( there are actually 4 there for my family) and UPS advised that Sprint has a hold on it for no pickups or delivery until Tuesday 9/5.

I already posted my sources. If you do get the phone early, it is a mistake. Why would I trust you? Do you have some inside knowledge or are you just assuming it's the phone due to weight or IMEI?
It seems like there is a bit of hostility against me for posting my opinion. I'm giving you my personal experience with VZ pre orders and letting people know what 2 different people told me at VZW. I'm not calling anyone out but until the phone is in your hand, there are a lot of assumptions being made.
Apparently people are now bombarding VZW with calls about why their pre order has not shipped. It's obvious to me that not every Verizon pre-order was shipped so if you do get it early count yourself lucky but don't assume all preorders are shipping.
Well my tracking number is from my order specifically with IMEI and SIM # and the fact that it has been updated with my lease and new phone number I would say it would have to be the phone. I don't see a company updating my actual order with tracking if that order was not shipped.
yup 3 pounds ( i have two coming) and its now in Stockton where I live. soooooo close but so far. the tracking number is listed with the phones on sprints site.

I already posted my sources. If you do get the phone early, it is a mistake. Why would I trust you? Do you have some inside knowledge or are you just assuming it's the phone due to weight or IMEI?
It seems like there is a bit of hostility against me for posting my opinion. I'm giving you my personal experience with VZ pre orders and letting people know what 2 different people told me at VZW.

Well this is not a VZ thread and I used to have VZ and they suck. Doesn't surprise me that VZ would do that but I am 100% sure that my phone will be here on 9/5. No hostility at all from me it just looks as though somebody jumped the gun in the VZ thread and just didn't make sure it was the phone that actually shipped.
Why would I get a case when I only ordered a phone and there isn't a free case promo, at least that I'm aware of. I'm with Verizon and I got a notification of shipment and they took the money out of my account which wasn't happening until shipment. Delivery date says 9/5. I agree with the rest of the posters as well as the posters in the other threads, your sources are most likely not giving you the right story.
Keeping the waiting room uncluttered by those of us who have the phone already (suggested by mrnovanova)
Nice. So first impressions anyone? So far the rejection rate on the fingerprint scanner is a lot lower than it was on the s8+, my iris scanner also seems faster. Standby time seems good but it's still too early to say. I'm really loving this phone so far.
Three hours SOT and 52% to go!
Is it me or does Samsung Pay not work on the N8 in Canada? It works fine on my S7E, but when I install on N8 tells me not supported on my device?
Anyone buying insurance on the phone. I hear it's $400+ to replace these screens. Don't know if I should go with the carrier monthly option or Samsung Premium Care.

It is not you, it is Samsung. Apparently, it is coming "soon."

No Samsung Premium for Canada
I ordered mine on Sep 8, waited anxiously refreshing the "My Orders" page obsessively, waiting for "Starts Shipping September 15" to change. Well, the 15th came up and it changed to "Shipped" at around 5AM, and got to my door at 1PM via Purolator. Insanely quick, although it only came from Toronto and I live just a few cities away.
Phone has been pretty awesome so far. There is some slight bezel bleed in certain angles, but nothing compared to how bad it was on my Note 7.
Battery life is a little above average for all other phones I've ever had, I used to obsess over max usage but really don't care anymore. I am however, missing a rooted phone, and am considering selling this phone once I receive the promo stuff, and then ordering the F model.
One thing I did notice in comparison with the Note 5, is the S-Pen is much better to write/draw with because it has considerably more grip. When you first start using it, you won't feel it, but it will happen once the tip softens up a little bit. Also, with the S-Pen button having a hold-to-erase function, I found it pretty annoying that there isn't a clear indication as to which side the button is on. I can't really complain in that regard though lol.
I work in mobile and didn't have much time on my phone today, but throughout the 12hrs so far, I've gotten adequate usage. Most of it was light browsing, drawing, games, and then a couple hours of video watching. All while brightness was 70%, GPS, BT, LTE on, FHD resolution with a density of 530 (thats why everything is tiny). So this usage is definitely considered light.

Sorry, I meant to say Mobile Care. $170/yr, $130 deductible, covers accidental damage.
Looks like all Canadian units may be "Network Unlocked" out of the box. I bought mine from the Samsung Store and the employee noted that while my phone would still brand to the first SIM inserted, I would no longer need to input an Unlock Code to allow other SIM cards to be used. I tested this and he was right. The box also shows "NU" on the side of the box. I brought this up on RFD, and another member, who purchased their phone carrier locked from a Rogers store, advised they too had an "NU" model.
Looks like Samsung may have started selling their phones Network Unlocked in anticipation of the upcoming changes requiring all phones to be sold unlocked, with the Note 8 as the first model.

Thats good. Makes sense since as of December they have to be unlocked.
Did anyone receive any of the Bonus gifts with their Note 8? Is Samsung going to ship these separately?

You needed to register on Samsung during the pre-order period, and then register your device with Samsung after purchase. This will trigger Samsung to ship the gifts to you. Make sure your address is complete on your Samsung Account as well.

Agreed. I wonder how they'll deal with the upcoming iPhone launch since those locks are controlled remotely.

Mine still shows pending as well. I pre-registered after placing my preorder and logged in on my phone but still shows pending. Clicking the little "?" says it's pending review or something like that. I guess they verify the preorder with the retailer first?
First, impression for me is- this was an upgrade worthy device for me coming from N5 after N7 fiasco. However, had I bought N7 then I might have skipped this gen but coming from 2 year old tech I'm glad-I didn't buy S7Edge and got this instead.
For my personal usage. The battery is outstanding and 2.5 hours or so more SOT than N5.
I'm also using adhell-however , just to block facebook and what not.
Anyone buying he Exynos model in Canada?
Yes, its great that the phones are unlocked. I just found out (after spending an hour on the phone with Rogers) that if you purchase a phone directly from Samsung, Rogers will not activate WIFI calling. They told me some BS that the phone needs to be purchased from Rogers and is specially configured for VOLTE. Anyone have a code or know of a way to get this working. I'm not about to give Rogers more $$$.

Was wondering about this too -- did you end up purchasing?
Just using the carrier protection plan.

I had a Bell S7 that I unlocked and changed to a Rogers CSC and got wifi calling and VOLTE working. Call Rogers, don't tell them where you bought a phone, just that you want to register the IMEI for your phone on account.
