I asked T-Mobile Help about the "partially preorder" status on Twitter and got the following reply back from them so I guess this is a good thing.

Great question, Larry! I know you must be eager to get your hands on that awesome new Note8! All of our orders moved into that "partially preorder" status today since we got the devices in our warehouse. We're working on getting them packed up and ready to ship, so keep an eye on your e-mail and text messages over the next couple of weeks for that shipping notification! :)View attachment 4257545

I did my pre order for the midnight black yesterday afternoon. Had to wait until we knew for sure that we were getting the house we looked at before I could order and have it shipped to the right address.

"Next COUPLE of Weeks" ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] Hugg727:
This is deja-vu from last year......:cool:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] ejdavis:
Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] MicroMod777:
So you think it won't ship tonight even though we got charged already for shipping?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] bbjhh2009:
Mine said partiallypreordered now it's back to pre-order after them charging my card
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] galaxy4mylife:
We will probably get tracking numbers tonight but will sit on pallets at the warehouse for a while yet. Maybe we will get lucky but who knows.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] galaxy4mylife:
My order status has changed to shipped!!!! Also have my Tracking Number!!!!!!!

My card was charged this morning and it now shows as Shipped in MyTmobile.......
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] mike28:
Card was charged order changed again to pre order with estimated ship date of 9/13 to 9/15
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] MicroMod777:
Sweet! Let us know when it shows picked up. Mine doesn't show shipped yet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] Hugg727:
like last year, the tracking number means that a label was created. thats all, get ready to wait
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] galaxy4mylife:
The second I see a status, it does not show up in MyUPS yet and the website says into not available for this # yet.

See my post a few ago I said they will sit stacked on pallets for a while yet haha!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] PhillyD77:
I preordered mine from T-Mobile how do I register for the gifts? All I see is use Samsung Shop app which just has the option to buy directly from samsung
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] bbjhh2009:
Ya exactly what mine did
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] Hugg727:
Once you get the phone there will be a redemption page. You will have to send them a receipt, bar code, ein number etc. Last year I got the gifts about 3-4 weeks after the phone. Just about when they announced the first recall.........................:D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] Nerowoof:
I got a message with my JOD changes that included my serial/imei # of the new phone. Have tracking number but nothing shows...like the note 7 im not expecting it anytime soon.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] MicroMod777:
Yes! Got tracking # too but the storm has ups systems down!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] Steve Lazarus:
Negative, what that means is T-mob has created a shipping label, but the item has yet to arrive at a processing facility. That "blurb" at the top just takes you to a page with more information about deliveries if you're in one of those affected areas..:good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] galaxy4mylife:
You would technically see "Order Processed Ready for UPS" once the labels are created so there is a slight delay but I'm assuming they will all show that tonight after all the numbers are sent to UPS electronically.

Also I feel bad about anyone in that area deliveries are gonna be a logistical nightmare...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] schek2001:
UPS now shows "Order Processed Ready for UPS" for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] galaxy4mylife:
Mine as Well!

Here is the screen shot
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] mikeb85:
They sit at the waiting for ups stage til ups is allowed to release them probably on the 13th
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] Hugg727:
Get used to that screenshot, it wont change for a while.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] mikeb85:
April 14th people started getting "the text" and people recieved their phones the 20th including me for the tmobile s8 plus. 6 days worth of waiting for ups and ppl even tracking flights around the u.s. So yes this is early to be getting these texts, but i highly doubt samsung lets them go out sooner.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] scoobrel:
Finally showed up on myups.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] HtcOnekid:
same thing but this doesn't mean noting if I remember with the note 7 pre order lol once it has been picked up
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] Xshooter726:
Yeah same here. Awesome to see things moving but I'm in Houston and most likely won't have regular ups delivery for a few weeks :crying:

Have 3 cases for it just sitting there for delivery.

When the Note 7 pre-orders went live, Texas was flooding just like now...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] msage:
My order's also ready for UPS, we'll see what happens. Not expecting it too soon after the S8 timeline.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] TPR300C:
I got my tracking info too. I guess we'll know by tomorrow morning if UPS picked them up as most of us have overnight shipping

It's good to see you can still log-on here................... :good:

This (Hurricane Harvey) has changed my view on external battery packs from meh to MUST-HAVE,after going w/o power for four days myself.

Otherwise was unscathed,but,having to conserve battery power @ the expense of being out of the loop info-wise really SUX.

Definitely looking for a deal on a small generator as well,a new must have (shoulda been long ago).

Anyhoo,I hope you're doing well otherwise,sux to wait on our toys,knowing they woulda already been delivered,weather permitting.................
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] athex:
Got myups notification, the good news is even the cheap shipping is 3 day select so you shouldnt have to wait much longer than before even if you didnt upgrade.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] MicroMod777:
Is signature required by UPS? Can't remember.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] Xshooter726:
Thanks guys. Yeah tell me about it. I had multiple battery packs ready and they sure came in handy. Luckly No water got into my house but I was pretty much surrounded by water and cut off from everything else. Also shout out to T-Mobile for never going down. While being trapped at home it was nice to still be able to read around XDA it help the time pass by. Sucks we may not get it as soon as other people here in Houston but I'll be checking on here to see what you guys think about once you guys have it on hand.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] LeadDawg:
I'm with you man, 100 miles east of Houston, hit us last night and swirled on top of us till noon today. No water in my house but now no electricity. Got my Tacoma running with an extension cord to my TV from the converter and charging my 1 external battery. T-MOBILE went down for five hours after the eye passed over. Harvey-wallbanger gave us a hangover! Stay dry while waiting on UPS!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] pinkie00200:
it is required by default. but if you have UPS MyChoice, you can change it to authorized shipment release without signature or even set a certain time frame for delivery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] Taimoorh5:
Every Samsung rep that i have chatted with said that the phones will ship out on the 5th if you were a previous note 7 user and took advantage of the promotion. They all said i would have the phone on the 6th and were very straight forward with their answer. Looking like the 6th boys and girls.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] galaxy4mylife:
Samsung and the carriers may have separate dates so really could be anytime!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] HtcOnekid:
got the other T-Mobile email with the phone imei so I know is gonna ship any time now

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] BlueFox721:
What does the tracking say when you click it? Does UPS show the device is shipping too, or ready for UPS?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] galaxy4mylife:
"Order Processed, Ready for UPS" if you don't seem movement between 12am-1am I won't get hopes up for a delivery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] TechBSwift:
Mine says being processed... I guess paying the cheap shipping price puts you in the back of the line :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] galaxy4mylife:
As in you dont have tracking yet?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] mike28:
Mines updated to ship tracking number and all 3 day select
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] TechBSwift:
Correct, I don't have an my update status.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] truckerdewd:
I was told that no matter what shipping option I chose, I would still get it the same day as overnight shipping. I was prepared to pay the $11.99 but the guy strongly insisted that I not to since everyone who pre orders will get them at the same time. So I paid the $6.99.

I paid the $6.99 for the iPhones I ordered for my wife and I back in December when we all upgraded for Christmas and got them the next day.

Sent from my wickedly kewl Galaxy S8+ using my fingers. Duh!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] MicroMod777:
Mine still says "Order Processed: Ready for UPS". Guess no Note 8's for Thursday.

They're put on a pallet and won't budge til they're scanned and put on a plane. I've had no movement til 3am then magically it starts moving.

just checked and i too have the shipped status on t mobile. JOD 7 dollar shipping.

never received the text though that other cats got about looking out for the charge (even though i've already past that stage).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] mike28:
Just updated yo ship and tracking number I guess next week I will get it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] MicroMod777:
Yea T-Mobile fooled us again! Im gonna demand a refund for my shipping charge now!!! Fraud!!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] bbjhh2009:
I went to my tmobile on the computer it's showing my imei for my note 8 and says active shipped.. I can't wait till it's in my hands!! I'm so excited :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] matt.b.powell:
So they took my card down wrong and I didn't get the first charge yesterday... Pretty frustating but, I just got off the phone with T-Mobile (for the third time since yesterday) and was told

"the next round of charges is going out tonight, so you will see the charges overnight"

Maybe we've got something to look forward to or maybe she was just saying anything to get me off the phone.

Looks like I got another text from TMOBILE about it being boxed and charged. Maybe she wasn't full of BS

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] galaxy4mylife:
I think you just got trolled hard by customer support. " Ya want ur note haven't heard that 2,565,986 times since I started my shift 30 min ago. ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] Babydollll:
Probably. Though this is a smaller part of a convo that has been going on since yesterday with them and someone else.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] Hugg727:
They are very good at saying all of the right things to keep us interested, yet it really means nothing. The TMO reps must be trained to give the most vague , yet hopeful answers whenever these new flagships come out.

I swear they all sit around in the call center staring at some giant 20 ft screen, laughing while they troll us, lol.

"Look they are falling for the UPS thing again this year :highfive:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] djinn415:
T-Mobile offering BOGO (Buy One Get One free) starting tomorrow for Note 8 pre-orders. The reimbursement will be in the form of a pre-paid card. This includes those who already have pre-ordered it. Just need to confirm if the second one really requires a new line or not.

http://www.tmonews.com/2017/08/t-mobile-galaxy-note-8-bogo-deal-september-1-leak/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] angeland:
Yes it does and you have to have an EIP not JOD
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] kaze00:
my guess is that this hole shipping debacle is that they dont want people cancelling preorders for the buy one get one free deal!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] Hugg727:
I would agree with that.

I have one on order with both Samsung and TMo. I was going to give the Samsung one to my wife, who is still on our old ATT plan. We were going to port her # over. I will now cancel the Sammy order and just do the BOGO with TMo. This means I get to sell my S7E on my own.

So my final cost for 2 N8's will be $930 - $250 (whatever the going rate is for a S7E on Swappa) = $680ish. I am ok with that.:D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] harveydent:
Tmo said they'll retroactively apply the BOGO to the early preorders, so I doubt they shipped it early because of that
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] MicroMod777:
Well just got shot down by T-MobileHelp to get my shipping charge refunded. They always credited this back for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] athex:
it got my updated service agreement today, with the imei #, so hopefully that means it ships today. Unfortunately for me that means Tuesday for the delivery best case.

---------- Post added at 03:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:08 PM ----------

Things are changing at Tmobile, give it 2 more years and they will just be another carrier. If that happens it will be time for me to move to Cricket or something cheaper. I have stayed with Tmobile due to the customer service and JOD and other promotions but I think those times are coming to an end.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] getbuzzin:
For those who have received their service agreement with the imei, are you able to sign up for the promo?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] Babydollll:
Iirc earlier promos required MAC address as well, so I haven't tried
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] MicroMod777:
Yea crazy times. Does any other carrier have a JOD deal?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] btmusicman313:
The V30 has me thinking twice about the Note8 now, especially with it being the first T-MOBILE phone that supports 600mhz
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] athex:
Nope, I figured it was only a matter of time until JOD became not worth it, it looks like that day is coming next fall. Not sure what my plan will be after that, just stick with Tmobile on a regular plan or what. I suspect when they started JOD they expected more people to get apple devices, but I suspect most people on this plan get Android and they would upgrade around 2-3 times a year. going to basically unlimited upgrades, but with an up front charge (I am guessing around 100-200 per phone) will do in this program.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] MicroMod777:
Me too. Gonna see if Bestbuy or T-Mobile has it on display this weekend.

Well, JOD is a great program for us who like to try new things all the time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] athex:
I agree, I love Jump on Demand but how it is now, not the program thats its gonna be in 1 year

---------- Post added at 03:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:50 PM ----------

I should add, I had the V20 and the G5 and the LG software/hardware just is a bit lacking vs the samsung stuff. I might try out the V30 later this year since this is prob the last year of JOD.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] TechBSwift:
I don't keep a phone long enough to worry about 600mhz lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] kurrupt_1:
Agreed!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] OxyClean:
Heh. No doubt. Live in Seattle and roll out not happening soon.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] KOLIOSIS:
Are you speaking about what might happen or the way things are now?

Currently, JOD is $0 down & you can switch every 30 days.

Sounds like a good deal to me.

Yeah, monthly payments are a bit higher, but, as the old saying goes : TANSTAAFL........ ;)

I'd rather have JOD than be tied to a phone for over $900, knowing something better will eclipse it before paying off on EIP, unless, of course, this is the phone for you for the long term.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] athex:
I am talking about what will happen next August 2018, Tmobile already announced that they will start charging up front for JOD upgrades, once you have to pay $100-$200 up front for a Note 9 it will see like less of a good deal. Not saying that JOD isnt great now, its going to become a lot less great in 1 year. you can already see it happening with the shipping charges, used to be free overnight. Theres no way it costs tmobile more than $8 to ship the phone overnight so they are making a big profit on that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] Hugg727:
I have heard the same but the reviews on the V30 have been outstanding. The 600mHZ would be icing.......
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] athex:
For those that missed the announcement:

http://www.tmonews.com/2017/08/t-mobile-jump-on-demand-down-payment-base-model-phones-2018/

T-Mobile says that starting August 2018, base model phones will no longer be $0 down with JUMP! On Demand. For example, right now the Galaxy S8 is $0 down and $33 per month with JOD while the 32GB iPhone 7 is $0 down and $27 per month. Next year, these base model smartphones will no longer be $0 down.

In addition to this down payment, T-Mobile says that customers upgrading in supported channels will need to pay an upgrade support charge. “$25 SIM starter kit or, in stores & on customer service calls, $20 upgrade support charge may be required,” reads the fine print on T-Mo’s website.

---------- Post added at 04:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:38 PM ----------

Well if it makes you feel better, almost no areas have 600mhz yet. the stuff I saw say that most places wont get it until next year.

I guess worst case you can always get the note 8 after getting the V30 with JOD, like I said I will probably do that since JOD goodness is coming to an end.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] KOLIOSIS:
I'd pretty much forgot about that, but, it's OK.

My plan this time, my 3rd go on JOD, was to move from the Note 8 to the V30 when there's a price reduction, then, JOD from that to an El cheapo phone, pay it off, sell on Swappa/eBay & exit JOD once again.

I finally started buying unlocked phones, a better variety vs what the carriers offer, sell them & move on to the next phone. Basically @ the same cost as JOD, but, a helluva lot more to choose from.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] BigMosley:
I have the V20, this is my first LG device and I wouldn't recommend it. Bluetooth has connectivity issues and WiFi gets cut off and on randomly, phone seems very cheaply made compared to Samsung IMO.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] BlueFox721:
I watched a few first views for the V30 and I'm not impressed, if they ever add a good stylus, not like lg stylos, I may revisit the idea but right now the Note 8 is my choice.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] chavist:
Agreed the only reason I am with Tmobile is because of the JOD. I believe they will lose some serious market share next year when it switches to the new protocol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] Illrigger:
Just an FYI, the support fee is for talking to a person - and is likely to be the commission that person gets from the transaction. Right now, employees get no commission for doing a JoD transaction - one of the reasons why everybody thought the program was dead is than no employee is going to voluntarily bring the subject up and less scrupulous ones would downright lie about it being no longer available. They are adding JoD support to their app and web site soon; you will avoid the support fee if you use them instead according to early reports on the subject.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] arcanexvi:
That's not entirely true. Signing up a new line for JoD is without commission but they do get paid for subsequent upgrades. Albeit the pay is less than a normal upgrade.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] HtcOnekid:
the day I pre order I had them waive the shipping right there on the spot I think it all depends on the rep and wording
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] marctronixx:
imei

so yeah i received the email with my serial number and that it was "shipped" but no track info. we all know this is dangling nthe carrot.

i did register the device.

i attempted to get the promotion going but you need , it seems, a compatible samsung phone that the app can recognize by reading the imei.

i know this because i loaded the samsung store app on my Asus zenfone 3 :silly::fingers-crossed: , and when i went to look at the promotion tab on the app, the phone asked to give permission for the ap to read my phone's information (forgot the actual verbatim wording but that is the jist).

naturally when it read my imei on the asus it did not find any promo associated with it, so would seem one needs to wait to get the note8 before registering.
