UK Samsung are only offering trade in for the older Tab S3 against the new Tab S6. How daft is that! What offers have in your country?
I have not seen any trade in info yet in the US. Pre-orders start on the 23rd so if there will be any I expect them to be published then.
Where did you see the trade in values on the s6?

In the UK, on the Samsung website - strange they don't include the Tab S4
I asked them direct and they will give you £50 for the tab S4 but like 160 for the tab S3 . Guess they don't care for people with the latest ???
US trade ins are up.
$75 for the S3.
$200 or $250 for the S4 depending on memory.
$300 or $350 for the S5e depending on memory.
There are others but that is the last few 'S' models. Not really worth it for the S3 (what I am replacing).

This maybe a dumb question, but I am stumped:
If you had a chance to get an Optimus Pad(32GB) for only $250 vs getting the new Samsung Tab 10.1(16GB) for retail price $499.99. What would you get?
After taxes that almost a $300 diff
Galaxy Tab Samsung is on a roll in my opinion and in most cases you get what you pay for

thanks for the info
With a G-Slate(LG Optimus Pad), don't you have to also sign a 2 year data plan? At least, in the US, it's only available as a T-mobile exclusive, which needs contact (no wifi-version). So, if you factor in being saddled to a data plan, then the Samsung Galaxy Tab is actually cheaper.
And if you're drawn to the G-Slate(Optimus Pad) cause of the smaller form factor of an 8.9 inch screen, then probably better to wait for the Galaxy Tab 8.9 due "before the end of Summer."
If that's all you have to pay (no contract or 3g fees) the LG is a no brainer.
I currently have a Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket with AT&T. I also have an Acer Iconia A500 10" tablet. Both are rooted running custom ROMS. The tablet is actually running a leaked ICS. I have been proposed this offer. A guy has an upgrade available. He wants to buy me a brand new white galaxy note in exchange for these two devices.
If it were you would you accept the trade?
No. LOL he should give you cash, you can decide how much depending on condition of your phone and tablet. Wait a few and watch Note's price drop.

Skyrocket eBay average sold* price for used phone in perfect condition: $400.00
Iconia A500 eBay average sold* price for used tablet in perfect condition: $300.00
SOURCE.
That is $700 and for that you can get a brand new I7000. That guy would only have to spend $300 on a white note and take a $400 profit off you.
*"Average sold" means the average price for that specific item that actually SOLD. Not the price they are listed for sale.
But you cant calculate it at 300 he is also giving up his upgrade. You have to look at the average sale price of the Galaxy note and its close to 700.
I did actually consider selling both the items and turning around and buying one myself but then I go through the hassle and time of selling them, hoping that I get enough out of them. I also go without a phone in between the time the skyrocket sells and I get the note because it is my only phone.
I am not eligible for an upgrade at the moment so I would pay that $700 price tag. Yes, he may only pay $300 but he wins by getting both devices and saving some money on the purchase and I win by getting the note without the trouble of having to sell both devices and hoping I get enough.
The question I come down to is if the Note is a good enough phone to ditch the skyrocket whose only advantage over the note is that it has NFC and the tablet, which I hardly use because I have a laptop and an iPad, for the note that has the larger screen.
The main things I use my phone for are as a GPS navigator, a web browser, and a camera. The larger screen would seem to be better suited for all of that. I would hope that posting this in the Galaxy Note section you would have some insight as to the performance of the device as well as the customization available (ROMs, Kernels, etc). I've owned the devices I'm giving up, I haven't owned the Note. Just looking for pros and cons and personal opinions. No need for comments like "He's ripping you off" or what not. Just explain why you think he is.
Thanks guys!
I would take the trade. Trying to sell stuff on craigslist or eBay is such a pain. But that is me and I was desperate for the note. I had my skyrocket + $200 cash on my end on craigslist looking for a trade. So if you are impatient and don't mind taking a little hit go for it. The note is an amazing device. I also have an iconia and I have not used it in a week.
However if you are asking here that would indicate some trepidation on your behalf. Trust your gut.
I would take the trade + $50-$100 cash back from the guy who has the Galaxy Note
if it were me....i would not do it.
he is winning either way you look at it. the Rocket is a great device in its own right......plus a tablet?
sell one or both and see where it leaves you. at&t has the note 649 right. if anything trade the rocket to him plus a little cash and keep the tab or vise versa
thats my OP
700? There's one in marketplace right now for 550 shipped. They're going to be on the market for about that much for awhile..your choice ...easy deal for trade or sell your devices for what they're worth and pocket 150.

I came from the Skyrocket and dont regret it at all. Probably biggest decision is how much will you miss a full tablet. I would say he is making out a little ahead and may be able to talk him into 50 dollars or so but if its what you really want its worth it IMHO.

He still has an iPad, and from what he says he uses his devices for, the iPad more than fulfills the 'full tablet' requirement. No, it isn't an android tablet, but the iPad still surfs the web well, apart from flash.
i would tell him the skyrocket or the acer iconia and $100 for his Galaxy note - if he says no then tell him to go F** himself.
Good luck
I more or less did this exact thing, since I wasn't eligible for an upgrade on the Note. I sold my SR and a Toshiba Thrive on ebay for about $680. But then you take into account Ebay fees and then Paypal fees and you're out almost $100. So the offer is not terrible really, if you wanted a Note anyways.
My Samsung Galaxy Note™ is smarter than your Honor Student.

Too much driving from Florida.
I wasn't serious anyway. You'll end up losing out on the deal if you trade with the guy. Try to sell them separately and you'll come out even. The Skyrocket should get you $300 on Craigslist easy. That alone should be enough to pick up the Note from him and you get to keep the rocket and the tab

I assumed as much Just figured I'd call your bluff.
After looking around craigslist and ebay I could probably break even with enough money to buy the note but then I go through the hassle of selling them and then being without a phone if the phone happens to sell before the tablet and I don't have the money for the note yet.
It basically comes down to whether or not I really want the note. I've been to AT&T twice to play with it and like the phone but that one wasn't rooted, OCed, or running a custom ROM. I know it has to be faster than the one they have on the floor.
So far I've seen comments that people have switched from the skyrocket to the note and don't regret it. I'd be curious if there is anyone who does?
I had two skyrockets with in a two week period and both developed problems and were returned to AT&T, I told them to keep the skyrocket and I would pay the difference for the white note and I think that the Note is a much better phone than the skyrocket!!! It is a great phone and a even better tablet, I have not touched mt Galaxy tab since I got my note.
I have a deal pending on my SR for $350 shipped and the Iconia 16gb A500 will probably get you $250 so that's $600 from you. If you pay the paypal fee and shipping like I am, I'm only really getting about $310 for the SR. A NIB Note is getting about $550 so it's really more a question of...Do you feel like you are losing out or getting what you want? I have the Transformer Prime running CM9 with a case and I hardly use it. My phone is what I spend most of my time on.
Hello. I don't post here, but I'm thinking of moving on from my Nexus One to a Samsung Galaxy S II. I would like to when Samsung will stop manufacturing and selling the S II in Australia since the S III came out a few days ago.
Thanks!

Of course they won't tell you (nor will Samsung tell you if you contact them directly). That's sensitive info for a company selling stuff. Given you can still get quite a few lower end Galaxy devices from many of the phone retailers (TeleChoice in particular), I think you'll find the SGS2 will be available for quite a while yet (end of year at least I would have thought; probably longer).
Why don't you just buy from eBay instead? That's where I buy mine from and never had any probs so far.
Well I think it will be a bit until the S III comes out so I will manage to buy the S II.

At least 6 months before Samsung stops delivering S2
Before stopping production of S2 Samsung will want to check the sales figures of the S3 on two quarters so you're safe to wait a couple of months.
But even if the S3 sells very well, the S2 is catering for a lower price bracket and still directly competing with iPhone 4 and 4s so they Samsung would want to keep it until their product segmentation drastically changes.
Crystal ball:
- if S3 sales are disappointing and iPhone 5 storms the market with real innovations then Samsung will want to compete on price (S2 at below 400US$ and S3 below 550US$) which will eventually come true in the ramp up to their newer flagship smartphone
- if Samsung limits S2 production to make room for S3 there might be a shortage and thus a price bump. Seems it's the better option here (as observed in Europe): we experienced inflation by 3-5% in the S2 price in the first months of 2012. If Amazon Europe is relevant, inflation is still not reversed. IMHO it could be that people waited for the S3 to be announced while Samsung slowed S2 shipments and they were disappointed with S3 (too large, nothing valuably new) and decided S2 would suit them ok.
So check the prices on eBay every week. In Europe you can still get it at about 500 AUD, so I guess it's a good target price.
Okay thanks!
Amazon kicked off a sale on Thursday just ahead of Samsung’s unveiling of the Galaxy S IV. The online retailer is now offering the Galaxy S III and the Galaxy Note II at steep discounts, but the pricing varies depending on your carrier and what device you’re picking up.
Verizon’s Galaxy S III can be purchased for just $0.01 with a new two-year contract. Sprint’s Galaxy S III is still a penny, but the Galaxy Note II is now just $69.99 with a new contract. Meanwhile, Amazon is selling AT&T’s Galaxy Note II for $149.99, down from the original sale price of $199.99, and the Galaxy S III is available for just $49.99.
You may want to hold off on picking one up until Samsung reveals the Galaxy S IV, but if you’re satisfied with the above prices then jump on it
Where was the question part?
You checked "yes this is a question"

Went to pre-order on the Samsung website and it's only showing the 128GB version available. Spoken to Samsung on Live Chat and apparently it's the only version available in the UK?!
Probably not sure when it will be available here in Australia but I am really excited if I end up picking this up I may start work on getting a device tree and twrp built and work on developing custom roms.
i preordered the plus version yesterday in germany with 256 gb but wifi only. will i see if i can support some custom roms for it i think good base is what jesec was doing for s20

I talked with samsung and the biggest e-commerce in norway. I was told that for some countries it takes some time before the 256gb model is available. According to Komplett.no it should be available here in norway soon for preorder
I pre-order yesterday the S7+ 128GB Wifi Black by the Samsung site in the Netherlands.
I was looking forward to ordering the S7+ with 4G/5G with 8GB and 256GB storage but guess what? It's not available in the UK only the 6GB 128GB model which is inferior to my Tab S6 so I'm going to pass on this model which is a shame. What is wrong with Samsung UK?!!!
Same here - I won't be buying one in the UK until Samsung release the 8GB RAM version. I imagine that may never happen, though, as they never released the higher spec Tab S4 in the UK either.
This will bring me back to sammy after Huawei screwed its US based customers on the M5 series. My prior device was the Note Pro, and i loved it, but no new support and ROMs were iffy.
I've been holding on to my Pro 12.2 for years now and just sold it on Ebay. I'll use the proceeds to order my S7+ once it is available in the US. I wonder if Samsung will give a trade in allowance for the S4, which is a great tablet.
Pre ordered the s7+ 8gb 256 gb with the keyboard cover for just 1034 euro. The original book cover comes free with this tab as a promtion in the Netherlands.
It is available now in the US to be reserved on samsung.com, looks like the only incentive is a $35 instant credit for accessories. I definitely want it but want to see if anyone else has better offers
Just put in my pre-order for the wifi 128 gb Plus in grey. They also offered a $300 Trade in for my Sprint S4 and a small military discount which will go toward taxes.
Since it's just a sign up for a pre-order, there's no downside to ordering and then not completing the order if you find a better deal elsewhere.
I'm trading in my tab s6 and getting 450 for it, I only spent 500 when I bought it so i'm happy. Reserved tab s7+ 256 mystic silver for 408$. Tbh I'm still a little worried about the size. 10.5 inches was already BIG though I did get used to it. Hope I get used to the s7+ as well.
I'm sure we will get a pre order bonus, I just wish it was coming out sooner. Sucks we have to wait so much longer than in the US.
Just saw on Samsung's website, least from the US side $300 credit on a Trade in for the S4...
Truly hoping I can get the 256GB model here before the end of the month at Best Buy (release supposedly Friday). Get 10% off the device then can just sell the S4 out right.
pre order the bronze s7+ tab in Singapore. only delivering from 7th September. black one started delivering
I have ordered the S7+ in bronze. Due for delivery today ?
Really looking forward to it. Hope the increase in size isn't overbearing but it's smaller (just) than my surface pro so it should be ok.

Isn't it a free book cover? ie not the keyboard cover?
I'm also getting mine tomorrow (Monday) and I also made the mistake of thinking the pre-order gift was the Keyboard Cover as well but nope it's just the Book Cover so I'll probably end up going for the Game Pack as the pre-order gift and then maybe buy the Urban Armor Gear Metropolis Protective Case for the S7+ instead. There really aren't that many decent cases out for the S7+ yet, I'm seeing plenty for the S7 but not many for the S7+ so the Urban Armor Gear case is the most decent one I've seen so far. £70 though which is about the same price as the Book Cover would be.
