If you're still waiting on your phone... Samsung has another trade in deal going on and it's a little more than the initial trade in deal.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
I ordered like 8 cases in total. Kept this blue/yellow and the Spigen Liquid Crystal (love the grip). It's definitely the nicest looking case of the bunch I tried!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] oneandroidnut:
i have a couple other spigen ones but may try this one out just for the color combo!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
Wow, up to $600 off! That's amazing. I know now for the next phone to wait a month or so before doing a trade-in (or not... I've heard some horror stories here about ordering through Amazon...).

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] AlexDicy:
In Italy the release date is set to August 24th, I've read in the previous posts that you've got it before the pinned date, that would be awesome! Actually it's not the 24th for me because I've bought it using a partnership program and the date for the 512GB version is set to August 31st, another week of waiting...

Do you guys have any other past experience with the earlier shipping?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] blacklabel2020:
From who did you order it from?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Majin101:
Not me, I ordered note 8 on 9/8 last year, and was delivered to me 9/26. Think the released date was 9/15? Either way, took 18 days for me to receive. D:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] alfred_mcskee:
Interesting to see on UK Samsung website, blue variant is sold out in both 128 & 512 models (I chose black personally). It's clearly the most popular colour over here, though I still can't understand why the black variant isn't available at launch for the US...

I just pre-ordered with T-Mobile and it says Estimated to ship between 8/29 - 9/05???

Anyone else's order info in their TMobile account say this? I went Ocean Blue 512gb.

The folks overseas are already getting there's because they always do. Region thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] AlexDicy:
Shipping thousands of devices in 1 or 2 days is definitely worse than shipping those thousands in 1 or 2 weeks... I hope it's the same case for my shipping!

For those that got it earlier: if you ordered it with official Samsung websites, does the "My orders" page says that it has been shipped? Or it's still processing it?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jayr04:
Just read on another forum that 512 models are backordered till September. Makes sense since I've yet to see a review on one.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] AllTheWay:
Yeah I just ordered one. Expected ship date is September 24th. Heck the next iPhone will probably be out by then.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] nuclearrage:
I am not holding my breath, the note 8 was a mess. I ordered as soon as you could with the note7 perks , supposed to get the phone before anyone else because of note7, and watched as everyone else got theirs first.

***just checked Samsung website, they no longer are saying "pre order by the 20th to get on the 24th". I couldn't find it anywhere. So maybe there is some truth to the 512gb models being late.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] alfred_mcskee:
Can I ask where you saw the 512 versions were back ordered til end of September? Is this for the US or which market, and applicable to all orders or just those placed from now forward? My Samsung UK order update still says ships 23rd August... ??
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] funkydude101:
A user here already got his 512gb in Saudi Arabia last week. While I think the production numbers are lower probably because they assume lower demand for the most expensive units, I don't think they are back-ordered or delayed if you pre-ordered it at launch.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bullitt3309:
For the 512 the Samsung site is showing Sept 2 ship for Unlocked, Verizon and T Mobile. AT&T showing 24 Aug... Looking like a repeat of the Note 8 launch... Early preorders get the phone last.... Oh well, I guess I will wait for my Verizon phone...fml...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jayr04:
Well there you have it. Good thing I didn't splurge for the 512.

Might be different in other countries but for the US, the 512s might be shipping late
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Majin101:
I'm from the US, I just cancelled my ocean blue 128gb order this morning and switched to the 512gb but it's the lavender color (only one that ships by 8/24). I'm fine with that color since I'll be having a case anyway just really wanted the higher ram and storage.

Preordered Blue 128gb with T-Mobile this past Wednesday (8/15/2018). Just got charged so I assume labels will be printed in the next couple days and shipped out on Tuesday/Wednesday.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
My T-Mobile Ocean Blue 128GB one just got charged on my credit card as well. I bet they ship Tuesday, arrive Thursday. Mine is shipping from a neighboring state, so I'm anticipating 2 days although I'm only using the free 2-5 day shipping option.

Exact same scenario for me. Pre-ordered the ocean blue 128gb on 8-15 through TMobile. Got an alert my card was charged this morning. Let's hope your assumption is right.

Lavender Purple 512 unlocked from bhphoto to get the free stuff that I probably don't need, and for no tax. I would have preferred black or white but those were not choices.

My Note 4 SM910A started slowing down and, rebooting. I wasn't sure it would make it till the Note 9 arrives and charged up my antique Note 2 just in case, but discovered the wake lock app and so far the Note 4 working again.

It will be exactly the same as note 8 though they are giving tracking numbers but it is a scheduled delivery. So UPS cannot ship them until a given date, i got my note 8 the day before it was supposed to release. Id expect movement on them starting Tuesday.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
Yup AT&T Note 8 i did get it on a Tuesday, AT&T dont sent tracking numbers till Monday as well they basically don't give track numbers till Monday and thats when you see movement on AT&T

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dayzee:
I've ordered with carphone warehouse in the UK - 128GB in lavender. Free gift is wireless charger, extra £200 on top of usual trade in prices if you trade in.

I have a note 8 and trade in is £375 so it states £575 trade in. Effectively making it £325 :) but of course gotta buy up front and trade in after... Fingers crossed it should be delivered on 24th Aug.

That's actually a good sign if you can't cancel and still says preorder. Processing is next step and then shipment. Expect to see this beginning Sunday night at the earliest and we'll see the Samsung direct unlocked devices move early in the week.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Semantics:
Yeah you definitely can't cancel. I forgot to add Premium Care for 12 bucks a month as opposed to JUMP insurance because the deductible is much cheaper so I went and cancelled the order and placed another with PC on it. I got the email today it has moved from the site so they can't cancel it. I'll have to send it back when it arrives. You can't add Premium Care post purchase for the Note 9 which is stupid.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrgwap03:
U order strait from them or best buy?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jmstansell:
This is from T-Mobile right? Or did you order through Samsung for T-Mobile? Usually once the phone is activated they give you a 14 days or a month to make changes.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bigmase23:
I ordered from Samsung for T-Mobile version on Aug 9th, I got the preorder email invite. On the Samsung website it says backordered, on the Samsung Shop app it says order placed. I chatted with Samsung Chat and he stated that backordered means they don't have them to ship yet that they will still be on time. Here is some of the chat below. I'm not worried, everyone is excited about getting shipping info, but the phones will sit at UPS until Samsung gives the ok to ship. This has been the routine for a couple releases now
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Semantics:
I bought it through Samsung. There is no way to activate Premium Care post purchase for the S9/+ or Note 9 any longer. I figure I own the phone and don't need JUMP and the 175 deductible when Samsung has a 99 dollar deductible. If you don't purchase it with the phone, you don't get it. I was upgraded to 4 people trying to get it added to my original order and there was no way to have it done but to cancel and re-order it with Premium Care. They are both 12 bucks a month so I went with Samsung this time.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jayr04:
"Cancel order" disappeared for me too and the freebie says "in process" instead of backordered.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] droidrev71:
My cancel button is gone too.. I'm getting a bit more excited knowing it'll be here in about five days! Hurry up FedEx or UPS!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Semantics:
This what the email they sent me when I tried to cancel - Hi So and So. We were unable to cancel all or part of the requested items below for your order #REDACTED because it has already left our shipping facility. If you still do not want the item, you may either refuse the shipment when it arrives or you can return your item later.

That said, I used the same card for both purchases and with the T-Mobile people saying they have been charged I logged into my account and while I show two orders on Samsung.com I only have 1 pending charge for the order I made last night. It's the only item on the card. Weird. I hope I don't get two phones and 1 charge.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] svtthis:
My shop Samsung app says my phone is back ordered (t mobile 512gb) but the website says pre order. My free gift on the app says order placed and back ordered on the website. Not sure which one is correct.

Also the rep says free gifts will ship once they have them so I guess you don't have to claim them in the app? Which is good news since samsung fine print says they only have a limited supply.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] grga1:
I recently bought used Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7. It turned out the phone is locked to Sprint and is on bootloader v5. I called Sprint but they refused to unlock it even though it is paid in full because I am not the owner of the account that phone is associated with. I bought it from an electronics recycling company, so they cannot help with this. I would like to use it with a gsm carrier, like ATT or T-Mobile. What are my options here? Can the phone be unlocked by third-party? Even if unlocked, can the necessary bands and other settings be made available? Any hacks that trip KNOX are unfortunately not acceptable in my case (it seems putting U firmware with BL5 will trip KNOX).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] trouty:
IMEIGURUS.COM should have a carrier unlock for you. not saying its free.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] grga1:
That is fine but after it is unlocked would I be able to use it with t-mobile or att without issues? I read a lot about LTE frequencies locked, missing menus to set APNs, etc.

It is fine if the answer to my original question is to simply get rid of the phone. I am already considering this, as I naively thought that all it would need is a call to Sprint to unlock it and then flashing the U firmware.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] lvpre:
There is a thread here about unlocking additional LTE bands.
