Just preordered the Orchid Grey S8+
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Th3Bill:
Done. Was told device would arrive to me April 19. Sounds like what they said last year with the S7 and I got it a week before that...

Hoping it's same this time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] eichenberg:
I chatted up T-Mobile before pre=orders went live and specifically asked if I would be able to do it online being an existing JOD and I was told yes, it would be possible to do it online. Just tried and just like others it is not available. So I chatted them up again and this is the answer I got...

"The promo just started, the system might not be updated right now."

Not sure if they are blowing smoke and they don't really know or if it will be available later. UGH

Anyone showing an "Estimate to ship" on their order before April 20-21"?

It looks like it's hit or miss, honestly. It's not related to the S8. It's something in their system. My line now shows the bright magenta "Upgrade" button, while my wife's line (Also JOD) shows the message mine had before that she would have to call in or go to the store.

Started at 9:00 and just now finished. On hold for over 20 minutes. I used the contact us and chat to leave a message on their website and I went from silence on hold to the ringing sound. Wonder if it was related? Did everyone get hit with a $25 "upgrade fee" ? I complained and they offered to give me a $20 credit on my bill but not to waive the charge.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Th3Bill:
Uhhh....I didn't get hit with any fee like that. You on Jump On Demand? That's pretty nuts.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] DC2CA:
No... I'm on the old Simple Choice plan with all my phones fully paid off. The total was like $240 for the S8+. Still waiting for them to email a receipt so I can see the breakdown.......... That's one thing I prefer about ordering online vs the phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] BarryH_GEG:
Coral blue doesn't make it any less last year's phone. I'm on a S7e because I upgraded my Note5 to a Note7 and when the latter self immolated the S7e was the option I was left with. It isn't a bad phone but there's nothing about it that made it feel special when I got it in October and certainly not compared to newer phones like the S8s and G6. Going from the Note7 to the S7e made the latter feel old and dated (with Nougat) even when the S7e was only seven months old. I can only imagine the difference going from a S7e to a S8+ is going to make; especially after my brief Note7 experience. I guess "wow" is in the eye of the beholder.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] 954wrecker:
No I like my OnePlus 3T with Xposed and CM13 much more than any feature Samsung crowbars in. Dual Sim is hard to give up also once you get used to it. I'm thinking my note 5 was my last Samsung.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] DC2CA:
Played with both last night and thought the phone was great. They had them bolted down though so it wasn't possible to get a feel for it. Hopefully I'll like it. The phone comes out on a Thursday so I'd guess we get it that Tuesday before.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] eduardmc:
When i said coral blue. Just to specify the color version i have. Nothing else. Even if it is a so call last year phone is to make people believe they already have a slown bad phone and needs to upgrade. Side to side in REAL WORLD SPEED/TASK you will be hard to notice the different between the 2. Same 4 gb of ram. Same screen resolution, lower battery capacity, same nougat software. I dont see anything special other than the screen body ratio. But i rather have my fingerprint on front. Thanx Samsung for doing the worse fingerprint placement in mobile history. From more than 50 reviews i have yet to hear someone say that they like it. I bet u note 8 will have a fingerprint reader place in a diffferent position. Since they already know the design flaw and all the bad rep its getting.

ANOTHER DESIGN FLAW. Black face on all phone. It wasnt something plan by samsung. It was because they needed to HIDE all the spider sensors they have in front. Everyone phone will look the same with no personality cause of this. This will hurt their sales. This image will tell u everything. Same phone different face. Black face gs8 one of most beautifull phones ever. Gold front gs8 one of the ugliest phone ever.

Just cancelled my order for the S8+. There's no way I'm giving them $130 upfront for a phone I don't even plan on keeping more than 6 months. Just gonna wait and upgrade to the Note 8.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Nonbiasedhippo:
Gotta pay to play.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] LuigiBull23:
Obviously but in the case of JOD customers it doesn't make sense to pay that, especially when you don't plan on riding out the whole device lease term. Guess it took til just now to realize that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Nonbiasedhippo:
Right.... but if you constantly want the latest and greatest, complaining about 100-150$ is kind of silly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] LuigiBull23:
Who's complaining? I simply let everyone here know that I refused to pay the down payment since I don't plan on keepong the phone and that I actually did something about it. Rather than placing the order and coming on here to ***** and moan about being charged, I cancelled the order, which means I won't be charged, which means problem solved. End of story.

The Note 8 is the one phone I do plan on keeping so a down payment on that would be totally fine with me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kevs888:
I agree with you 100%.

Before the pricing structure was revealed over at T-Mobile, I was gung-ho for the S8+. However, knowing that I'm going to pay $130 (plus taxes upfront since I'm on Jump 1) and then dump the phone for the Note 8 in Aug/Sept didn't make sense, especially when the S8 still has a 5.8" screen, which is a great size anyway.

I still opted to pay $30 down plus $45 in tax for the S8 since I felt it was worth it. Plus, I'm using the V20 right now and (personally) cannot wait to get rid of it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] jodifi23:
I was having quite a bit of trouble per ordering the s8 and s8 plus for 2 of my JOD lines. Every time after we are about to finish the orders some errors popped up not allowing us to proceed. I was finally able to order the s8 for one of my lines, while the other failed. Come to find out the idiot rep mispelt my address after REPEATING the address back to me twice. Took almost 2 hours to try and cancel and re order only for the error to show up again. After a total time of 10 hours spent on the phone with support over the course of a week, we were able to find a work around. They opened up 2 new JOD and closed out the other two. So at the end of the day, i now have 3 remaining jumps on both lines again and a little over 300$ in bill credit to cover the down payment on the GS8+ and all the hoops they put me through. I must say I'm satisfied.

They are still unable to explain what those errors meant.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Cyberguycpt:
I received $40, but I'm still thinking about cancelling my order. I know for sure the Iphone 8 will be the one for me. Damn why can't the S8 And Iphone launch around the same time. Lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] CB620:
Anyone else regretting their order?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] tourbound129:
I wouldn't say regret but not thrilled with Legere and this down payment on JoD crap.

I got a $50 credit during my order because the rep entered the security code wrong on my CC so my issuer declined the card approval and kept denying all other attempts as well. Because of the hassle and the fact that I had to switch to another card, he gave me a $50 credit for my time (25 minutes).

So I'm out $80 of down payment.

I wasn't actually going to the get S8+. I was able to order the S8 from samsung.com for $650 during their brief price mistake and my order is still active. A few days after my order my GF and I walked into Best Buy and in less than 30 seconds of holding the S8 she said she wanted my phone. I didn't see the need for 2 S8's in the house so I got the +. Fits better in my hands but I could have been just as happy with the S8 for 6 months until the Note 8.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] misterwal10:
??

Me after seeing how others got put on JOD and credited back the $130 they put down. I'm going to note 8 as soon as it comes out so I feel like I got the short end of the stick.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] SBERG117:
Keep in mind you're the one who has the choice to just wait for the Note 8 and avoid all of this in the first place.....you're making the choice to go forward and deal with any issue related to the S8. It's not Tmo's fault.

I just want that damn phone!....And now we're all here in 2017 and actually don't gotta worry about credit when it comes to getting an expensive phone...130-150 down upfront I'm not mad...My upfront back then was in the 300-400 Dollar range...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] LuigiBull23:
1) because I am legally blind and the 6.2 display on the Plus was damn near perfect for my bad sight and

2) I have 1 upgrade left and that is now reserved for the Note 8.

I thought I'd regret cancelling my order but I honestly have ZERO regrets at this point. I know I made the right decision.

Most under JOD are, especially now that a number of customers are being credited in full for the down payment while everyone else is being denied.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] HtcOnekid:
Who is hoping for some moment Monday
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] bamfsig45:
IMO sounds like a bunch of spoiled brats. And to you guys threatening to leave Tmobile to get the 130.00 are ridiculous. I kindly brought up the JOD down payment deal with a rep and was declined any kind of credit, I left it at that. Sure would have been funny if they actually went through the steps to cancel your account. And if you can't afford the 130, or are using the excuse that you're jumping ship in 6 months to the note or whatever then get the S8 or a different phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] danman987:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Cyberguycpt:
But your not looking at the bigger picture here. First I'm sorry but this is a Samsung phone not an iPhone, and even the Iphone has variants that you can get with out paying extra. After the Note 7 fiasco Samsung should be doing everything possible to win over customers and so should T-Mobile since Samsung phones are most likely their bread and butter on the Android side. Secondly if they won't $130 for a S8 phone the what realistically are they going to want for the Note 8
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] cris_epic:
Yo, all these ppl complaining about the down payment are ridiculous, if you got it refunded or not you still end up paying it on a higher monthly payment for the phone just like they were doing with the note 7 when they were preordering they gave you the 2 options to pay it up front or on the lease. Ppl that regret ordering and canceled shouldnt be here anymore if thats the case, all there doing is spreading negative vibes to those of us who actually are waiting impatiently for the phone. *mic drop*
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Wrightperspective:
I just hopped on here to check out potential early shipping and see all these complaints about JOD and the down pmt. I get it: they changed the rules. Instead of preaching to the choir, just email John.legere@t-mobile.com like I did. If he gets inundated w emails about it, MAYBE that will work. But let's stop clogging up this thread.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Bom792:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] CB620:
If your being turned down for credit it has to be your approach. Any who lets get back on track with the phone and shipping. I'll be getting the S8+ and the Note 8 when it releases. Yeah it sucks as far as the down payment but you have to pay to play.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] DLovo313:
Spoiled brats... Lmfao

Says the guy who TRIED to get a credit JUST LIKE US but is salty cuz he was DENIED!!!

"I KINDLY BROUGHT IT UP"

FOH

But if the rep didn't deny you you'd be one of US... ???

If they want my business, show me you want me to keep my 6 lines with your company or I'm out...

I called their bluff and won. Going by your passive way of doing business you must pay full MSRP on everything you buy huh...

Exactly they're being too KIND...Lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Nitemare3219:
Hey genius, I'm well aware it'd cost more per month if it were $0 down. But guess what? If I put $130 down today, and trade the phone 6 months, I lose 12 months worth of savings (lower monthly payment) from my down payment - THAT'S the issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Nonbiasedhippo:
I love the moral indignation towards T-Mobile lol Chances are, if you're complaining about 130$, it's solely because you can't afford it. You end up raising your monthly payments if you want truly "zero" down. "But I'm getting the Note 8 in a few months" is a lousy excuse. If 130$ is too much then save up your pennies and wait until the Note 8 so we can watch you guys complain about that down payment too. I can see it now "I'm getting the S9 I don't want a down payment."
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] bigmase23:
I wouldn't worry so much about checking myUPS until your cards gets charged. Note 7 showed in ups about 4 days before my card was charged. Phones can sit and be ready to be shipped at ups center, but until your card gets charged it won't ship. No fun will start until then...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Cyberguycpt:
I'm so sick of people over generalizing to fit their own narrative. Do you know that 61% of millionaires much more than half drive Toyotas, Hondas, and Fords. Gee I wonder why? Maybe they have realized the secret to staying a millionaire is being frugal with your money. Maybe someone should tell them that since they can afford a Tesla that is what they should be buying. And I get its a phone and only a few hundred bucks but I like many people find it hard to pay full price for anything, which is why the app Slickdeals, and other coupon apps are so popular. If I'm not getting a deal I feel like it's not worth buying. And that might sound like being a spoiled brat but when something cost $300 to manufacture and is selling for $850 I believe that $550 in between is up for negotiation. And after the year that I have had with them first with the Note 7 fiasco and then with my washer getting recalled because they started exploding as well I don't believe they should be charging a premium price on anything.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] CadillacMike:
Well I had already pre-ordered the S8+ with the $130 via JoD, and then after reading all this reached out via Twitter, but did not get any credit

I asked about shipping early and was shut down there too, saying the 21st was the earliest they would arrive
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] bamfsig45:
Sorry I struck a nerve. I never did directly Ask for a credit, I wasn't direct or rude, or misleading. Just merely ask about customers getting credit on their down payment and was told that there were different situations for customers getting credit.....Like Threatening to leave like a little baby if they don't get their way LoL. I'm on JOD and I don't pay MSRP, sorry to burst your bubble.

If you've had your washer blow up and Note 7 melt down, know one is forcing you to buy anything Samsung. There are no coupons for Tmobile, if there were then Yea use it. Instead there is crying, *****ing, moaning, and manipulation. And you do get a deal, free Samsung gear VR with the VR content. Samsung has nothing to do with Tmobiles down payment. Samsung, just like Apple have always had a premium price for their handsets. Go buy a OnePlus 3T or Huawei phone since you want to be a Millionaire by saying a few pennies.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Nonbiasedhippo:
Lol what source did you conjure up for that wild claim? You aren't fooling anyone, no millionaire is going to be *****ing over 130$.. that was a horrible analogy.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] jdiddy_ub:
not trying to start a war here but your mindset is very wrong. Not wanting to pay full price and looking for discounts, coupons or even being able talk your way into saving some money is great but what you are speaking of is entitlement. You say something costs $300 to make so you shouldn't pay the $550 difference? If you feel that way then don't buy the product unless you stumble upon a discount...wait long enough and there will inevitably be a sale...What you are demanding is a discount (during a pre-order event mind you) stating that simply cause it is retail price there is a problem....you are free to your opinion and kudos to you for wanting to save money...but one should not DEMAND it

try your luck talking down the price..if it works like it has for some people on here, great...if not and you are not happy...walk away
