Ocean Blue 128gb SM-N960W with free Samsung IconX headphones for preordering

I can't really afford it but I get a note every year either way.

It's going to take someone super skilled to get this one rooted.

I am looking forward to any development that will happen with my locked boot loader phone :P

Got the ocean blue t-mobile 128g. How about the gifts? How do we pré order them? I need those Akg headphones!

Also, t-mobile family... When I ordered my note 9, they charged me for shipping for the first time ever. Can someone confirm this?

Ocean blue 512
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Willy_P:
Unlocked Lavender Purple / 128gb. Mine will be in a black case but I picked the Lavender Purple because I didn't like the bright yellow S Pen. I always buy unlocked phones so I can change carriers for better service or lower costs. Recently, for example, I was on Project Fi and my wife was on Sprint, but we both moved to T-Mobile to take advantage of that carrier's T-Mobile® ONE Unlimited 55+ plan. We both get unlimited data, calling and text‎ing for a total of $70/month, including taxes and fees.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Billus:
Preorded this device as the 512gb version costs the same as the 128gb before release (in Australia). I'm upgrading from a Galaxy S6 with the primary reason being that the battery has degraded to a point I no longer get half a day out of it. Was looking at getting the Pixel 3XL but judging from recent leaks*, it just doesn't seem worth or justifiable to even bother waiting. The Pixel 2XL continues to retail for AU$1399. I got the Note9 512gb for AU$1499. Ripper of a deal if I may say so myself and costs just as much as the top spec Galaxy S9+.

Never been a big fan of Samsung's software and their lacklustre support (OS wise) but happy to give it another shot. I owned the original Note and was rather happy with the phone till I lost it. From memory, I didn't find much purpose for the S-pen but I'm sure they have made some welcome improvements to it.

AT&T Blue 512GB

Wish copper could had been a US option. I really miss white Notes though.

Unlocked Ocean Blue 512GB from Samsung!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Semantics:
I've never gotten one through Samsung.com so I don't know. I'm not expecting the phone before the 24th and if it's early, great. If it's a little later, that's okay too. I still have my lovely Note 8 to keep me occupied :). My phone flashing days are over. I'll just get the T-Mobile variant to make sure I get all the features I'm used to. The phone is paid off, so I can unlock it fast enough.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bigmase23:
What's up bro? Here we go again? Year after year.. reserved, pre-ordered, processing, card charged, label is created, shipped, check flights, haha did I leave anything out?

I went with samsung pre-order, didn't like how much I had to spend up front with Tmo... I did Samsung financial with the option to upgrade each year..... reserved and then pre-ordered.. Samsung chat said first come first serve and the first should get them early! Excited to get my 512gb/8gb ram blue Aquaman version!! Already got my first case!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:

I went with the 128 GB Ocean Blue. Can't wait! First time I actually want a clear case! That color is awesome looking!

Ignore :o
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] BA_Flash_GOD:
All the same, unlocked is same

Hardware is the same. If you get unlocked, it has all same bands/features, they don't make different hardware options inside USA besides GSM and CDMA variants, only carrier OS options. I call BS on "worse reception" via carrier to unlocked, that's geo dependant. You can flash radio roms even though that's a thing of the past we used to do for better signal. Correct, you will be able to flash any carrier firmware as others have stated on unlocked. Are you guys are talking about the carrier bloat "features"? We'll see if they can sim-unlock these.

I think the better option this year is to save $400+ and get a note 8 on sale when this 9 comes out as the hardware upgrade is very minimal this time.. Not surprising. They'll be going all out on the 10 certain next year. These things are very expensive for yearly upgrades for people to talk on Facebook/Snapchat/Instagram. I can do that on sub $100 cheapo.

It's at my local FedEx facility. Today is the day! What about yours?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Guyinlaca:
The biggest issue is that the free headphones or game credits offer must be redeemed by 9/13. If people don't get their phones by then, they lose out on the promised rebate. Samsung should either extend the time frame or offer a replacement gift.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Majin101:
Mine too, waiting for it to say out for delivery. Killing my F5 key ?

Anyone who ordered the Blue 512 unlocked from Samsung US the week of the 19th see any change in their status? Amazon has a nice promo going on that includes the dual wireless charger with a delivery date of 8/28 for the Blue 512.

You can leave a note for the driver attached to your front door with your signature to leave the parcel.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrAwesome75:
Haha. That's exactly my problem. Called FedEx and the rep said, "It says 4:30," as if the delivery guy won't get there earlier than that. Trying to go home early, to hopefully get there before the FedEx guy.

Probably not exactly the best place to post this question, but many new owners are going to see:

Anyone has any idea where to find a website that unlock the Galaxy Note 9? It's a long history about what happened, but I will need this option, if someone can help, I appreciate.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Critical Detox:
Alright, So I've come to terms that my Note 9 is NOT coming today despite the UPS website saying "8/22/18 - By end of day" for the fact that since they've created a label for it it's done nothing since, No origin scan, Arrival scans, Departure scans, Nothing.

It's difficult to believe that something's coming when the package is literally sitting somewhere in a undisclosed location.

Anyways, Guess I'll just have to wait some more.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrAwesome75:
I wish I could leave that early; too much to do...

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Birdsfan:
The Blue 128 I ordered on the 9th is on the FedX truck as I type this. Unfortunately, that one won't go to me now that I added the 512 a week later, should have ordered the 512 on the 9th, I done messed up A Aron :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
Same here. My indecision cost my two weeks! I can't believe how unprepared they were for this 512 demand. I mean, let's think this through... 95% of guys will get the blue rather than purple, from what I've seen/heard. I'm guessing nearly 90% of the 512 purchasers are guys (just a hunch here, but I think it's reasonable), and honestly even the Note line in general seems to predominantly be purchased by guys. So a guy phone with a "guy version" with only one "guy color" and they're not prepared for that to sell well? Stupid.

**By the way, I'm not making any grand statements here. I just am observing that most Note users are male, most people saying they ordered the 512 are male, and most males don't buy purple phones (for whatever reason).

Ocean blue 512gb. Just got it in my hands right now and waiting for the smart switch to transfer over phone log and text messages. Side note, ocean blue looks much darker in person than in photos...especially if it's not too bright outside. This is good because I actually would have preferred a black note 9.

UPS took their time in getting my Note 9 rolling that they pushed it back 2 days, I knew it wasn't coming today.

This is the first time I ever Pre-Ordered a phone, And it will be the last, I'd rather go in person to a Retail store like I usually do.

Why the hell doesn't the S9+ qualify for the trade-in discount/bill credit on T-Mobile? This might be the first time I won't be able to JUMP to a new Samsung device the day of release since the Note5. Sadness and despair!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Critical Detox:
From what I remember seeing/reading they didn't include it because of how poor in sales it brought them this year, It'll cost them money to accept a trade on a device that's a few months old.

Just do what other people are doing, Find one of those devices that qualify for trade for cheap and then trade it in.

Seems like a reasonable explanation, thanks. Unfortunately my wife won't trade me her S7 for my S9+ so that I can use her S7 to JUMP to the Note9. She insists that it's too large and doesn't believe that she'd ever be able to get used to it. :(

I bought a used S7 Active on eBay for $79. Worth it for a $500 discount! As long as the screen is intact and no water damage, you're good. Look for ones with a purple line down the LCD display. I called and they verified that's acceptable since it's a manufacturer defect. Those are all under $100.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] iggibar:
Interesting...I called Samsung support about this because I also noticed you could get an S7 Active on ebay in the $60 range with the right side pink line issue on the screen. They said you would not get the full shown refund of $300 that is shown on Samsung's website. The support lady said there can't be any cracks, and the screen has to be in fully working condition.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] l.hieunghia1999:
Same here. I've been calling and chatting with their representatives, but there is still no solid answer. Some say it delays until the end of September, and some say it will be delivered on time, and the others say it will be delivered on September 1st. Could you please call them to verify too?

Samsung Phone Number: 1855 726 8721
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] rygaul44:
Yeah I'm working on it right now actually. If it's delayed there needs to be some kind of repercussions because in the confirmation email it said that as long as I ordered by 8/20 it would be delivered by 8/24. I surely wouldn't have ordered direct from Samsung if I had thought there was a chance I wouldn't get it on time. While it would have been nice to get it early, it's unacceptable to get it late.

---------- Post added at 06:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:07 PM ----------

Just got done talking to them and they are telling me that because of the massive orders of the blue 512 for Verizon, they aren't going to be shipped until the week of the Sep 02. Totally bs. What don't they get about guarantees?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] l.hieunghia1999:
Yup. I believe because Samsung has promised to their customers, they must be some kind of repercussions, like you said for us if it delayed. Maybe 50% off of the price ?

---------- Post added at 06:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:21 PM ----------

That's BS. We all know that they promised on their website in our email. But know they broke their promise. This is the worst Samsung experience I've ever gotten. I've been their royal customers for so long and now they're treating me like that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] rygaul44:
Yeah I've been a long time customer of Samsung too, disappointed. I swore off preordering from Best Buy last year after having a horrible experience with them. I figured I couldn't go wrong ordering directly from the manufacturer. It feels like I'm being punished for spending more with Samsung. I would probably have my phone if I had gone with the 128 model.
