I'm a trusted seller on swappa, badge and all. Just not self proclaimed like most. The Verizon model on swappa has only one version being sold (128). Not sure what your point is about the me joking with my bigger version... The demand might be there because it's backordered. There are more places to sell a phone than just swappa. I plan on keeping this baby for a year just like my note 8. :D you don't think the 512/8gig model would not go for well over a grand? Not sure why you think there's no demand for a $1k phone. I've seen other phone go for over $1200.

Most liking they are the phones that owners received from the BOGO offer on Verizon. I'd be nervous about buying one because the credit for the phone is spread out over 24 months. So if they are selling them between $825 and $950 sure that's immediate money in their pocket but they need to keep that new line in good standing or the note will become blacklisted.

I have yet to even get a text as to where my 512 blue Note9 is! And they are already selling on Amazon! How messed up is that? Ordered on Aug 12. I should have known better as I had the same problem with Samsung with my S7 Edge that arrived about a week after it was supposed to. I think I'll just cancel and and save the money.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rev_Nev:
I originally ordered a 512gb from B&H on the 10th but I cancelled that yesterday and purchased one from Amazon.

Everytime I contacted B&H about when my order would ship they could not give a straight answer.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gagernugent:
AT&T Note 9

I ordered a 512 blue for myself and a 128 purple for my spouse, since the BOGO deal makes the effective cost halved.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] maverixz:
I ordered it and have not yet gotten it as well. I was pissed off when I contacted them yesterday and they said they don't have any in stock. I can't cancel at this point as that will mean losing the pre-order freebies from Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] KOLIOSIS:
I hear ya on the bill credits,that's why I wouldn't buy a phone that has recently been BOGO'ed.

Phones that become delinquent will be blacklisted until the phone is paid off,or,the carrier gets a collection agency involved.

I'd rather spend a few extra $$$ for some peace of mind,however,trusted,long tenured sellers on Swappa or eBay (such as seller Never MSRP) I'd be OK with.

As for what I went with,I got the 8GB/512GB Purple version on T-Mobile US,gonna hang on to it,can't go wrong w/a $500 bill credit on a $169 trade-in & (after down payment) $9 per month after bill credit for 24 months. Hanging on to this one,at least until next year's Note arrives.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] droidrev71:
Sweet deal! I did something different, which I'm not sure I'll regret or not, but I did the Samsung yearly upgrade. I figure (think) my credit just keeps rolling over. I need to call Samsung and check out the exact details. I'm getting tired of always worrying about keeping my phones perfect so I get the most when I resell them. I also get tired of selling on swappa because that site has become so flooded that buyers can be a real pain! They want the phone yesterday but wait a week to mark the sale complete. Anyways, you have a killer deal and I hope you enjoy your phone. So far, I'm very pleased with mine. I'm getting crazy battery life (8 plus hours of sot) and it's just a fast beast. :)

Ordered on the 10th from samsung.com the 512gb t-mobile version. Just got this email today:

A month long delay after pre ordering on the 10th, and all I get is a 25$ credit? wtf!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] brianlp:
I found this site that says if you ordered more than one phone together, you can put in for the freebies from just one phone. You just have to register for the freebies one at a time. All you need is proof of pre-order, so if only one phone has come in, just register for both gifts.

That.sucks!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] steely123:
I ordered 2 (lavender and Blue) one of the orders (blue) was immediately put on hold due to a duplicate trade in order to same address. Last year I pre-ordered 2 Note 8s with no issues what so ever. Every time I call Samsung CS, it's a run around of basically "we have no clue" and it's left at that.

I got the Lavender one last Wednesday. Still waiting on the blue on to even be shipped. Both were pre-ordered on 9 Aug.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:

well my unlocked 512 was supposed to ship this week. talked to sammy this morning and they say it will now be next week hopefully! Their system is just terrible!

I currently don't trust any of them because every time I call, the answers are different. One says October, the others say September, and some says this week.

Mine still says "in progress" estimated ship date September 3rd-6th.

I contacted [MENTION=271250]att[/MENTION]cares on twitter, and eventually got them to issue a $50 bill credit and a new Galaxy VR with controller, but that was mostly due to them making me unnecessarily cancel my order and reorder to get the bogo, then telling me oh wait sorry, you have to go to a store to reorder now due to recently cancelled orders. End of the day, [MENTION=271250]att[/MENTION]cares said there was no reason to cancel the original bogo order, it was already eligible without reordering.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
Let us know how you get along. Same thing happened with our orders. They stopped one due to mutiple trade in from one house.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] steely123:
No change today. With still no help from customer service.. Can't believe it's so hard to beg someone to take my money! LOL.

We'll just probably stay with the N9 we got already and the S9+ we already have. Will update you on the outcome.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
Well basically they stopped my wife's order even though she has a separate account and so forth with TD bank and Samsung. She called them and they said they will process her order only when my trade in of my note 8 is received and processed.

It's odd since, her credit line would have easily covered her note 9 even with no trade in.

T-Mobile Pre-Orders 512gb Ocean Blue Shipping Estimates

Pre-order placed 8/14 with an estimated ship date of 8/28 to 9/5 at time of order. Estimated shipping has now been adjusted to 9/19 - 9/26. Contacted T-Mobile and they had nothing productive to offer regarding their ability to run a pre-order and provide accurate shipping estimates. It's obviously Sammy's fault for not making enough of the 512s, but the carriers know what the pre-order demand is and can supply that info to Sammy who can then, in turn, provide estimated shipping allotments allowing the carriers to accurately predict shipping windows.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] steely123:
same here with the separate accounts and all. except that I didn't get the info of first trade has to completed. I've only gotten (and i'm paraphrasing customer service talk) "beats me". LOL
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
They sent my wife an email saying they can't process her order until my trade is accepted. That was within 24 hours of her ordering hers.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] steely123:
My email just said that 2nd order number was on hold due to the 2 orders to the same address. But, i was only assuming the first one had to complete first. But the email didn't state that specifically.

---------- Post added at 02:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:02 PM ----------

Finally got a hold of someone that at least looked things up and compared something. Our order will be on hold until the 1st order is completed completely with trade-in of Note 8.

Since, that was received last Saturday......hopefully, will hear something in the next couple days. Got at least 10% refund for not cancelling.

$999.99

Qty: 1

Refund: $55.00

Net After Refund: $944.99

My credit card just got charged by B&H for my 512GB and my order status has changed to "In stock, order sent to warehouse"
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] brianlp:
I did the BOGO to get my wife a phone at the AT&T store. She received her phone on the 23rd nad I'm still waiting for my 512 phone. I went into the store on the 25th and told them I wanted to cancel the BOGO and just pay for both phones. The manager said I would have to return my wif'e phone if I wanted to do that, and they would order and send me a new phone. For some reason they say the BOGO phone can't be a phone I can pay for. I decided I wanted to get rid of the new service line since I'm not going to use it. My wife just installed her SIM in the new phone, so the new line is going to be unused, but I will have to pay for it.

Has anyone know if this is true? They were going to give me credits to pay for the new phone. I just want to pay for it myself.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
Yes the first order must be completed, by completed I'm assuming they must receive the trade in on that order and be processed and finalized before they ship the second order out.

Now I'm confused, you say they already received your trade in? I posted mine via their return label day 2 of me receiving the note 9. Which was 8/23/18. It's still in transit. How did you manage to get credit? Did you post your trade in on 8/13/18? Lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] steely123:
Oh no, my 1st order still shows "shipped" and still open. But the tracking number on FedEx's site shows it's arrived. Just me being big brother on them. LOL.

That's probably me not explaining myself too well. Sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
What I'm trying to say is that has Samsung received and processed your trade in yet? If not then I'm under the impression that they cannot process the second order.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] steely123:
No, hasn't been processed yet. Just have had the trade in physically (according to tracking). So, I'm hoping it's pretty quick. And yes, that's what I was told just a little bit ago. The 1st order has to be completely closed out , done, finalized before the 2nd order is touched. That was finally confirmed on the phone with Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Guyinlaca:
B&H is now shipping some pre-ordered 512 GB in Blue. Make sure that you had selected Ship in stock items first or you may be delayed by the backordered Dex Docking Station. Their customer service is very helpful.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
That's a good sign for all, I would think. I can't imagine B&H getting inventory and not the major carriers.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] l.hieunghia1999:
Does anyone have the same problem? I ordered super early (August 10th). However, today is August 27 already and I don't have any tracking information from Samsung yet. I've been calling them but there was no clear answers.

called this morning and their rep said mine will ship September 20th, called after a couple of hours to give them a piece of my mind and the other rep said since I ordered before the 12th of August, my phone should ship this week but no firm date. will wait and see.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] u600213:
And now shipped with 1 day Fedex saver even though I only "paid" for the free 3 business day shipping :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] GiantJay:
I ordered the same phone on August 13th. It says backordered. When I ordered it said it would ship the week of September 2nd. No updates or info so far. I also pre ordered the gear watch 46mm on August 11th. It said I would get it by August 24th. It says back ordered, they did email me saying the watch should ship by August 31st so we shall see.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] BA_Flash_GOD:
All good

I'd say 98% of people using any Android/iOS device use those apps by far the most, or playing some clunky mobile game. To each their own. That's a nice chunk of cash, to use exactly the same select few apps every year. Especially turning in an s8 as well that's only been out a year and a half. Probably used much less if it was in a drawer not being used (s9 as well?) Apps are the same, not much changes. Whatever people want to spend their cash on of course. I was just saying they're all the same unlocked/carrier variants with tiny incremental jumps.

I'd bet good money it'll be upgraded next year or 2020 latest. If people think they're going to quite making these devices, no problem. Fact is, these things sell like hotcakes.. Total cash cow for Samsung, especially at these mega inflated prices. Just look know many got back ordered here. Cha-ching for South Korea! Cheers.. But yes unlocked is the same inside the USA. Sammy probably spends maybe $200 to make one in a Korean/Chinese factory. Bonus! Great ROI

I don't get on here much anymore, no real need as the devices don't change as much as they used to back in the day. Enjoy your new device, see you guys next year when foldable note 10 drops.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Daveevo:
Gifts need to be redeemed in app when you get the phone delivered. They give you enough time I think still like Sept 8th or around there. As for free shipping they charged me last year for the note 8, did it again for the note 9 I asked if it could be waived she said no but she add a credit of that amount to my next bill. So we shall see
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] cpufrost:
If I go N9 I'll wait for never_msrp to have the 8GB 512 midnight black on ebay. Need dual sim Exynos version for root. S9+ doing great so far. Would not even bother with the N9 however the S pen remote control ability is going to be really good for us. If they ever bring back an IR blaster along with the remote ability of the pen...OMG!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] steely123:
went with 2 for us. Even though we have OP6 and S9+ (and Note 8 that was for sale after getting OP6). Deal was good through Samsung with trade ins and will keep OP6 as backup.

NOte 9s are Lavender and Ocean Blue 128s US unlocked. the Unlocked Note 8 and S9+ do just fine in TX on TMO. I just want Wifi Calling and VoLTE, which work perfectly on unlocked models without mods.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Toneman07:
They tried to charge me as well $25 per phone for over night. I told her I've done almost every pre-order for the last 4 years and never got charged for shipping. She put me on hold and came back and said it was free. She said it should ship out the 21st meaning I should have it the 22nd? :confused: guessing they were losing too much on that free overnight shipping they are trying to implement charging for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Semantics:
The assumption is that people use the Note for merely Facebook/Snapchat/Instagram. I don't use a single one of those apps. The phone cost me 640 dollars after trading in a S8 that has been sitting in a drawer as my backup phone. That isn't unreasonable, and this is likely the last Note that Samsung will make due to many reports.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] christophec:
I just talked to them on Twitter and send them all the screenshot from the past years I've been ordering every single time and free overnight shipping. And this is their answer

Ahh I see, those were more than likely courtesy waived shipping and I can certainly see why we would do so. You have been with us a few years and have really been an excellent customer. My apologies for any confusion, I can certainly see why you would of course see the free shipping again with this new phone. I typically include it for customers like yourself, I like to bend the rules a bit, but don't tell my boss :) I don't now have a way to remove the shipping as the order has been placed, but what I can do is apply a courtesy credit to the T-Mobile account to offset the charge. Would that work for you?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] disturbd1:
Ironically, I couldn't get my order placed via the Shop Samsung app or their website. Each time it would say my order couldn't be processed. When I called, they go "Yeah, we're getting a lot of calls about that. You'll just have to keep trying; try again tomorrow."

Yeah, no. This is 2 major Note releases in a row where Samsung - to at least some degree - can't keep up with the demand. Waiting another day is instant gratification-suicide.

So I went onto AT&T's site, lo and behold: no freebies advertised by Sammy. I hit up their support chat to confirm, sure enough: no freebies. Derp.

Last ditch effort, I check out Best Buy's website. Not only have they revamped it (it now allows you connect directly with your AT&T account to manage the purchase in terms of your existing plan, upgrade options, etc), but they have ALL OF THE DEALS; the BOGO, the free headphones/Fortnite packages. I was able to place my order with zero issues, and I'm eligible for the freebie(s). The only drawback is having to wait until after receipt of the phone and then request them. Small price to pay.

Ordered the 128gb in Ocean Blue. Bummed at the lack of neutral colors, but that's alright. I can't see the need for 8gb of RAM, and I'm not giving Samsung a few hundred extra dollars for add'l storage. It costs significantly less to simply invest in removable media. :good:
