Is the VR the only promo T-Mobile has? This might be the one time that I'm not going to pre order. Just going to pick one up on launch day in store with JOD. I will not be getting the S8+. Why pay the extra $130 for a phone that most of us will only be keeping until October anyways.

Ordered the regular S8 with JOD. There is no way I'm paying any sort of money while on JOD. I might switch to the + if they make it $0 down.

Wow is all I have to say after just seeing the S8+ in best buy. The Midnight black is definitely the color to grab IMO. I'm sorry to those that don't like it.

The phone was snappy and the screen was gorgeous. The curved edges felt smooth and continuous, Not sharp like the S7E. The finger. print sensor didn't seem that bad to me but real world use will be needed to know for sure.

And the "force touch" doesn't feel as good as apples. but its still good.

Now I want it even more. ugh

Sorry to say this but I told you so haha The earliest we'll see our phones will be on Wednesday but I'm almost 100% sure won't be until Thursday. Same exact thing happened while waiting for the Note 7. I remember my credit card being charged and getting a tracking number almost 2 weeks before they actually shipped them. Our phones are sitting at the hub right now waiting for UPS to get the ok to get picked up. Flight routes don't determined when they will be picked up.

I'm sitting home all this week impatiently waiting while I recover from surgery I had Friday afternoon on my right elbow. Since I ha e to keep my arm slightly elevated, I'm sleeping in a rocker recliner. Every time I wake up cause I have to readjust or my pain meds have worn off, I check my UPS app and then go through email to see if I got a notification from UPS MyChoice. Been doing that since I got home from surgery Fri evening. Banging my super wrapped arm against the table to grab my tablet or phone sure doesn't feel good.

They are being shipped no later than the 18th. Why else would T-Mobile send out thousands of text with that date. I honestly think that most of the orders will depart Louisville overnight tonight and start arriving tomorrow evening and Wednesday

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] mweinbach:
I actually think you are correct. They send some saying 19th and some 18th depending on where you lived. I believe they did this because the farther you are the more likely it will come the 19th. Mine said 19th. My friends said 18th.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] mustankid:
Do I just search ups or something?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] dirquist:
They must have sent different texts because I just checked and my text says it will ship on the 19th. I ordered around 3am on the 31st. I work a graveyard shift so I had to wait for my lunch and then had to reorder because I messed up the EIP thing. It actually may have been morning when I got my reorder in actually now that I think about it. Around 7am Pacific Time here in Seattle.

So they're trying to say the S8+ is not a base model phone and is considered a higher tier basically

They pointed me to this

This happened on Note 7 preorder thread too. People looked at UPS status, looked for departure scans out of Worldport, and then tracked the flight via Flightaware, to their local hub. It was kinda funny, to be honest...

"Launch Delivery Update"

"Due to a shipping error, some customers started to receive notifications of shipment and expected delivery of their Samsung Galaxy S8 or Galaxy S8+ as early as April 17."

"Advise customers that receive notification that their phone is 'Out for Delivery' that it will arrive by the original shipping time-frames, no earlier than April 19."

Again, mine said 19th. I have also seen 18th. I ordered 1 minute after it was available to preorder.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Master Ramy:
Yup, I have about 5 phones on order, all ordered back to back, in the same sccount, to the same address, some got 18 some got 19, and the 18 was for one done after the one that got 19
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] mweinbach:
Actually think about this guys, if they say we might receive them as early as the 19th. They might ship tomorrow/tonight. We would not get them tomorrow because they wouldn't allow them to be delivered then. If they dont ship then we will get them on the 19th when they ship that day. Or when the ship on the 18th PST. That is what I would guess. Either way I think we will get them from the 19th-21st.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] dirquist:
This case would have been perfect and I'm regretting not buying it a little now but it doesn't have a kickstand of any type. But my last two phones had full coverage wallet cases and I was wanting something a bit different. Plus that front flap is so annoying when it comes to picture taking, especially with the front facing camera. But, because I just couldn't get past the lack of kickstand I ordered the second link. Its a full wallet but you can take the phone out of it easily (hopefully not too easily) and still have a minimal case and kickstand. Really like the first Spigen case though. Later I'm getting the OtterBox defender for my more adventures out and about in ruff territory where I don't need any cards or wallet anyhow. I usually have a backpack anyhow for that stuff. Anybody have experience with the removable phone from the wallet design. Is it a gimmick or not work as well as one would hope. I don't want the phone to just fall out obviously but I don't want it to be too difficult to separate either.

Spigen I kinda wish I had gone with, but no kickstand.

Think about it, it technically could be tomorrow because if it's one day shipping, and some people have gotten texts they ship on the 18th, the 18th is technically after midnight tonight, so if they ship early enough they would technically ship on the 18th and still be here tomorrow, just a thought
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] nicholb:
It looks like it is not going to arrive today. Even though the UPS tracking still says "Out for Deliver" it is now 8:30pm and I've never seen a UPS truck arrive this late. T-Mobile must have got the delivery recalled. Oh Well, It'll show up when it shows up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] truckerdewd:
Exactly what I have been trying to tell people. If you go by the text that says the 18th.

Plus I'm not going to put a lot of faith in, "I have a friend that works there and he said there was an error and there was an internal memo that said blah, blah, blah." Stuff like that spirals out of control and can't be substantiated and is usually not true.

If a train leaves New York at 8:30AM traveling 60MPH and a train leaves Los Angeles at 10:00AM traveling 70MPH where will they meet? ;) You guys are sooo overthinking this. Either UPS has the phones and is holding them until T-Mobile releases them or T-Mobile has the phones and will deliver them to UPS. Regardless, UPS counts a "day" as a "day." If it ships "today" that's 4/17 even if it boards the plane at 2:00AM on 4/18. That means it'll be delivered on 4/18. Same thing for 4/18-19, 4/19-20. To T-Mobile and UPS this isn't precious cargo. It's a phone. One of the millions delivered every year in the normal course of business.

can anyone give me the model number of the t-mobile version? I pre-ordered mine through Samsungs website, selected T-Mobile version but noticed it was listed as SM-G955U which I thought was the unlocked version? On my order email its full model # is SM-G955UZKATMB

do you guys have the same?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] mweinbach:
thats the one. I mean it might also be SM-G935U

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] fdogic:
G955U is unlocked . Tmobile will use G955U and G955T
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] truckerdewd:

Well it's definitely a real memo in their system, but it said that some people had their phones shipped AND delivered early due to this error, and the rest is the official response of customer service to those who call.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] mweinbach:
Not for the S8's. All are SM-G9350U and SM-G955U. It is the modem that matters there. The system decides what carrier to go by from the modem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] dansan382:
so safe to assume the version purchased directly from t-mobile will be SM-G955UZKATMB as well?

Yes. I just verified that it is the exact same model number

how would you know? they wouldnt ship for over an hour.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] km8j:
Combination of things. 1) the fact the texts say they are shipping 18/19 2) the poster claiming the internal memo 3) all the people with the exceptions and stuff with UPS

99.999999%
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] mweinbach:
I have also seen texts saying 18th. And they do next day shipping. That means if it ships on the 18th we get them on the 19th UNLESS you are lucky. And if you are that lucky they would most likely tell UPS to deliver them on the 19th. So yes, I think they ship tonight and we get them tomorrow or the 19th.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] truckerdewd:
Except for purchases I have made at a T-Mobile store, all my T-Mobile orders have left Louisville either late in the evening or very early in the morning usually anywhere between 9 pm and 3 am and I have had them within 24 hours so it is very likely that they could start arriving to customers by tomorrow evening if they leave Louisville overnight tonight.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] adamj546:
The issue with the early delivery is that Samsung says not to deliver before a certain a date but it is okay to ship by another date. So they can say okay to ship by the 18th but no delivery before the 19th. Well if TMobile ships on the 18th they are within guidelines and cant help if UPS delivers on the 18th so they can get out of being fined. When the phones shipped early it caught Samsungs attention and they had to use the firm date of 19th that Samsung provided. TMobile would get an even bigger fine and probably more then the same slap on the wrist for shipping on 18th (like the advised was okay). Also Samsung is shipping starting tomorrow according to the website and in fair market it would be poor decision to not allow retailers selling the same product to ship the same date. The only difference is TMobile sends out the devices overnight vs 2 day shipping of Samsung.

This is all based on the hypothesis that the phones are meant to start shipping on the 18th. I believe they will but there is a chance they wont.

I'm still using N7. I'll return it once my S8 arrives.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] tourbound129:
UPS isn't going to take possession of tens or hundreds of thousands of phones just to sit on them. Once they take possession, they are now responsible for them, both financially and to warehouse them. Any extra time in the delivery process just increases the chances some go missing, get damaged or something happens. They aren't going to risk that.

When TMobile says pick them up, UPS will intend to deliver them the next day.

Sure, some slipped out but not tens of thousands.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] PDXMatt:
I have 8 things being delivered this week and the only one I really care about is this damn phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discuss] The G Dept.:
So I'm not the only one left :D

I actually thought about starting a thread for N7 refugees a few days ago. We're a dying species, I don't think there will be many left after S8 release date.

I sticked with mine until the very end, with the battery charging to 100% and everything. The only annoyance was the recall popup when plugging the USB cable in.

I'll get my S8+ this week, then I'll return the N7 to Costco next week for a full refund when I go to get my winter tires replaced for 3-season tires on my car. Because, like we say: "with 3-season tires, off goes the almighty Note 7". Yeah.... I think we say that, in Canada. :angel:
