Hi Jah, are you sure as I couldn't see anything about that, and single

SIM versions exist.

I wonder what version CPW is selling?

I’ve just discovered that no UK network is selling the dual sim version, still not sure what CPW is selling yet, but it does make me think Samsung UK is not selling the dual sim version either.

Edit. Samsung UK store is only selling dual sim ATM. When you add to basket and go checkout it says dual sim. Also now confirmed CPW is only selling single sim.

My only concern of getting the dual sim is whether updates will come as quick as single sim version, as single sim will be more popular in UK.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] RR-99:
I didn't notice that when I ordered mine, but I'll be pleased if it's true.

My order confirmation email says the model no. is SM-N960FZBDBTU, and if you Google that number it comes up with this page

https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/model/SM-N960FZBDBTU/

that says it's dual SIM.

Anyone ordered from Samsung UK from within the US? I want the Exynos version with the unlocked bootloader and want to take advantage of the trade in promotion.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gCloud:
You probably need to be a UK resident to buy from samsung UK.

Do you have friends in +44?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] thering1975:
Thanks [MENTION=241112]gavinfabl[/MENTION]that was what was holding me back but your bang on it does indeed state dual sim at checkout.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] thering1975:
In the end decided on the 128gb version after looking at my 64gb Note8 and realising i still have 60% free space lol

Also went via Quidco so thats either £15 cash back if based on the after rebate price or £30 if based on whole sale (and if they decide to pay it lol)

Edit - turned out to be £15 as its tracked so thats the case sorted
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] RR-99:
Here's a point for those who have ordered from Samsung UK.

The confirmation email says "Ships: 24th Aug" and "Next Working Day Delivery"

The 24th is a Friday, and the following Monday is a Bank Holiday.

So we may not get the phones until Tuesday 28th. :crying:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] thering1975:
I think they had relaised this as its been pulled back to Ships 23rd now, i ordered today and noticed it ships the Thursday not the Fri, not sure about those who ordered previously but i think it applies to all.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] RR-99:
Thanks! That would be great if it happens!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] thering1975:
I think it will be a given, Sammy kept saying ships 24th during presentation, probably didnt check their calendars lol, and UK were like oh poop bank holiday and changed the ship date so i think it will apply to all as they can ship when they want
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gavinfabl:
Definitely ships 23rd to arrive 24th.

Just one thing to watch out for is shortage of drivers due to Bank holiday weekend and summer holidays.

Usual prep for new Note smartphone:

- screen protector, check

- office and outdoors case, check

- wireless fast charger, check

- special cable for Dex (unless Note 8 dock works), check

- 128gb Micro SD, check

Note : be careful when use the word "Dex" watch the auto correction
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] thering1975:
Lol

Yep with ya there - just waiting for myt VRS high pro shield case to come into stock on amazon and im there pair with the yootech wet apply protector and ill be happy, albeith they not showing any more on amazon ffs lol

I would presume dex would work fine, but any cheap usb-c hdmi adaptor will do it

I got my xtremeskins brushed titanium back skin ordered ready too! too organised this time lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bezbozny:
Is it certain that CPW sells single sim models? The advantage of ordering from CPW is 1st of all that you get the wireless charger and 2nd that you can trade in your old phone even if it is not working and still get the 200 pounds discount. Also more models are included in the trade in like the note 2.

I haven't used contactless through thd barclays app since I had an Xperia Z5 at the start of last year, so you'll have to excuse if my information is outdated or misremembered...

Once you allowed the app to run contactless payments, it ran constantly in the background waiting to detect NFC, I assume hence the permanent notification icon (I didn't notice any negative battery effect either). Whenever you wanted to pay, you just held your phone upto the NFC point and it would wake the screen and ask for your fingerprint as confirmation and that was all there was to it. I believe you could also set it to ask for pin as well, as two factor authentication, but anything over £30 you'd have to enter Pin anyway. Also think you could set a spend limit up to £100, but no higher. Was really simple and when you set it up it explained the whole process anyway, so just check it out if you're interested in the feature. I agree it's disappointing Barclays won't support Samsung pay or Google Pay though...

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] alfred_mcskee:
I don't see any reason why not. As far as I'm aware, it's like any other android phone, you just get asked which is your preferred payment app in the nfc settings menu or during setup of the respective app... ?

I've already spent £18 on two Note screen protectors that didn't work. So Whitestone looks okay to me as a long term solution.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] thering1975:
I have that spigen case. Overall its nice. But I'm not sticking with it as it's too thick. The vrs design high pro shield is in stock now and I had that for my note 8 and note 7 so got that coming

I used to use yootech wet screen protectors from Amazon and they were seriously good cheap and lasted ages.

However I cannot see them yet just so not buy the spigen wet ones I tried writing on it with the s pen and it was the worst experience of any screen protector.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
Lol. I bet. I just realized I bought the hybrid neo Spigen artic silver as that blue 1 is out of stock.

If any UK folk are struggling for a glass screen protector and don't want to pay a massive amount for the dome thingy, try this:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07FXLSTJQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I applied it yesterday, comes with a handy snap on tray that locates it perfectly, and it's exactly like the bare Note screen. Very impressed - using it with my case and no peeling.

So far to get used to:

1. Default theme is just boring comparing to Note 8

2. Top stereo speaker does tremble the phone's casing a lot, probably specially tuned by AKG, lol

Every screen protector I tried for a previous OP5T was crap; every one!

mine was delivered yesterday , bought the black 128gb model .... sometimes i wish id got the 512gb model ..... but ... paying over 1k for a phone is a killer ... the 128gb model kept it under the 1k mark ... just ... plus ive got a 200gb card and 1tb of one drive storage ... another point was in all honestly we are going to see big improvements in camera , audio , screen tech , fingerprint tech , face unlock tech , cpu and gpu , vr , network speeds etc and in one year the note 9 is going to be ancient as much as it is brand new today ... samsung hit the 10th galaxy birthday next cycle so id expect big things we are all going to want to get our grubby mits on so paying the extra 200+ for the 512gb model seemed a bit overkill to me ... still a little jealous of all the 512gb owners though ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
I got the 512gb Blue waiting now for it to deliver as was late pulling the trigger. But did the Samsung upgrade programme 40 a month just like a contract really. Pairing it with my brilliant SIM only and when I sell my phone and tablet Gunna pay some off and that will make the monthly lower.

Sent from my ONEPLUS 5
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] buxz777:
yeah i done the upgrade programme to ... but ... its still over 1k ... still 200+ more ... still memory ill never really need to use ... ill still be selling the phone in about a year max or upgrading via the upgrade programme ... so it just made sense for me to get the 128gb

if i shot loads of 4k video ... was a youtube wizzkid and making vids in 4k or editing on my phone etc ... had a drone and was shooting 4k video a lot and editing it on my phone etc then id be much more inclined

choice is good though ... 512gb is a great choice to have ... especially with the 512gb card option to boost it ... i personally just couldnt justify it ... like i say im still a bit jealous though

another thing that annoyed me was samsung uk not offering any freebies ... buy the £300 watch get a free £100 charger ... other countries got free upgrades like .... a free upgrade to the 512gb ... a free gear sport 2 ... free akg headphones worth £200 ... welcome packs ... £150 of fortnite freebies

I love the screen and fluid UI. Also surprised by the quality of the DAC; I listen to a lot of FLAC music over wired headphones. When a device is new I tend to use it a lot more so can't judge battery life, but so far it is as good as the Note 8. Not seen any lag so far.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] MartyDingo:
I personally like this style of upgrade, going from the note 8 to the note 9.

My other half is remaining on the note 8, he doesn't feel bad for staying on it and I don't feel bad for upgrading. There's enough improvement across the board to warrant the upgrade (this thing makes my note 8 feel sluggish), but there's nothing much lost if you don't upgrade.

I personally think this isn't a bad thing!
