It's getting comical at this point. I just got off the phone again, he told me they were having stock issues but that nothing was back ordered. He also told me how and when I could redeem my fortnite voucher even though I ordered the headphones. Also, he had no idea of when the phone would get shipped. He also said that he has no idea where the guy earlier had gotten the week of Sept 2nd.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] l.hieunghia1999:
I hope this group has some news reporters who can share this to the Internet to force Samsung sending phone out by the 24th. This is unacceptable
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] KingVekxin:
Has anyone been able to pick up theirs in store? Like an AT&T or Best buy?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] iraqgsm:
I ordered the 512gb tmobile, called them today for the second time they said the 26th which is Sunday.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] rygaul44:
Tried the online chat again for giggles and was told in the next 3 -5 business days........ don't believe it, but it'd be the best outcome of all the explanations I've heard.

I feel sorry for those that have NOT received their note9 yet. I received my 128gb note9 from Samsung yesterday Wednesday. now I can relax and my heart and mind can go back to normal mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
They probably said that just to get you off their back. I respect what you're doing BTW.

---------- Post added at 04:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:22 PM ----------

Or spend a week fine tuning it until others have received theirs lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] suzook:
Apparently, no one learned their lesson. Samsung NEVER ships phones out on time. It's been this way for years. Why not just order from your carrier? Better yet, swappa??? I just got my phone today from swappa, $825.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] rygaul44:
Thanks man, I didn't order from Samsung last year, I ordered from Best Buy and had problems with them. I figured that the best would be to order from the manufacturer who makes the device to cut out the middle man. Obviously I regret my decision, and will order directly through Verizon next time.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Birdsfan:
Just ordered with Amazon, suppose to arrive Tuesday, US unlocked Blue 512 plus the dex and duo charger and the fortnight promo....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] iggibar:
While I do understand some people might be concerned, the date promised hasn't even come yet. I think some people should calm down, and not involve the WHOLE XDA community when talking to customer support about their frustration like XDA is some bully running around making demands. Out of ALL the smartphones I've preordered before release date, I don't think a single one(from Apple or Samsung) has had a perfect rollout. I've had some phones that were early, and some that were late, and those that were late happened to also be the phones that I preordered much past the initial preorder starting date. I got ordered my blue unlocked 512gb Note9 from Samsungs website, and didn't really care when it got here. Whether or not it comes a few days ahead or after others is no issue. I actually enjoy the complete process, which is why I get a new phone pretty much at least once or twice a year.

Be patient people, I have two note 8's, but I can't put down my Note 9. It will be worth the wait for a couple more days, and the big stink everyone raising isn't probably making anything go faster. And complaining just to try and get something for free is really stupid to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] rygaul44:
Must feel good typing that from your note 9 lol can't wait for mine, just venting my frustrations
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
Or best still walk into a store.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] iraqgsm:
Reason i got mine from them is Samsung Credit and upgrade every year program. I just have to coup up with the wait.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] brianlp:
I had put in a preorder at Sam's Club, but put in a new order at AT&T store because Sam's dindn't have the 512 model. Sam's called me this morning to say my phone was ready for pickup, but I told them I bought it elsewhere. They said they didn't even know there was a 512Gb version. :eek:

I waiting for the UPS truck to deliver my wife's 128Gb phone right now. My 512 isn't scheduled to arrive until next week.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
When did you order? What was the original ETA?

---------- Post added at 10:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 PM ----------

Is that a US program? I feel like I should look into that. Is it a good deal?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] iraqgsm:
ordered on the 11th and the estimate was 28th.

and the upgrade every year, its $0 down they will pay up to 50% of the cost of the phone towards the new one that will be released next year and I have to send this one back otherwise its 24 months with 0 interest

T-Mobile 512gb in Blue has been delayed again!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] KOLIOSIS:
Yessir,here's the ETA's:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
Ugh... I'm already 9/5... I hope it doesn't get worse!

---------- Post added at 11:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:14 PM ----------

If you order TODAY, yes. First come, first serve. I'm around 9/5-9/12.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Yeah but I ordered on the 15th and it used to say this!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
When did you place your order?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] KOLIOSIS:
I ordered the 8/512 Purple on 8/21,should ship any minute,the $$$ was deducted from my account this morning.

(Only model from T-Mo seeing delays is the 8/512 Blue,unless you were one of the uber-early birds...)

Cool that you got in on the 2nd wave (9/5-9/12),didn't take but a few days for that window to get extended for subsequent orders.

Shoulda offered a 3rd color (Black) to the US & no one would be getting delayed................
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ianmb:
Already got mine yesterday. 128gb Blue. Haven't activated it yet, waiting to get a case tomorrow. Still on my Note 8 till then. Already got a software update too today. Changed slo-mo choice to 2s and 4s instead of just 2s. Getting my Fortnite bundle tomorrow
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Exactly! It was a major screw up for Samsung to only offer 2 colors. I can't bring myself to spend over $1300 on a Purple phone. Maybe if the camera wasn't purple also, but it is and I will forever see the Purple and it was irritate the hell outta me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
Yeah I spoke too soon. They must pushed my date from 9/5 to 9/19. Wow. That's really frustrating.

I wish I was okay spending $1250 on a color I don't want, but I just can't do it. Especially if I keep this 2+ years.

Ugh. Samsung is dumb not to foresee this. Blue phone and purple phone... Wonder which will sell more...? Duh.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Yeah and now the problem is the Promotion period for the free pre-order gifts ENDS on Sept.13th. I would not be surprised if Samsung said we're SOL if we don't get our devices until Sept. 19th.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] brianlp:
The purple 128 phone just arrived UPS. Their app said delivery would be between 2:30 and 6:30, and it showed at 6:15. The driver just rang the doorbell and left it at the front door. By the time I made it downstairs, he was in his truck taking off.

This phone is for my wife who won't be home for two more hours. I'll let her open it. My 512 won't be here until next week.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] juaviles1983:
AT&T charge my card hopefully that means my 512gb ocean blue will be on the way soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mike26301:

I pre-ordered mine here in Australia 1 day ago. I get the Galaxy Note 9 512GB Midnight Black & a Bonus Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 for pre-ordering through Telstra Australia. They were offering the 512GB model at no extra charge instead of the 256GB model. This phone is definitely going to have the most amount of storage i have ever had in a phone. Will add a 64GB card to use for backup etc. Now just need to find a nice case and a full coverage screen protector
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
Go on either the T-Mobile app or Facebook Messenger and give them an ear full and demand an account credit. I went on there early this week because I was lied to and was told I'd have the phone in hand on the 21st. Now today I went back and complained about the delay and now I have $70 total in account credits so far from this BS. This will at least pay for a case and a WhiteStone glass protector.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] KOLIOSIS:
I already have a bill credit for free shipping.

If I'd ordered earlier & still didn't have it tomorrow,perhaps I'd ask for another one.

But,I didn't order until 8/21 & my bank did me the honor of flagging the charge & put a hold on my account.

That resulted in a two day delay in T-Mobile deducting the $$$ from my account,so,I can'r really go that route.

Also,since I last posted a couple hrs ago,even the T-Mobile US Purple models are now getting pushed back,from a solid will ship by 8/24 to 8/23-24 through 8/27.......

Where did you get your tracking info?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
That's what I'm waiting for... Did you order super early?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrAwesome75:
Agreed. This happens every year and almost everyone get's there's at least a day ahead of release, but meanwhile a week before, people are already complaining about not getting their phones a week early. I understand the excitement and I hate waiting as much as the next person, but it's not like you'll never get it and if it's late, it will most likely only be a day or two at most. I don't pre-order to get my phone first, I pre-order so I don't have to stand in the store for an hour or drive all over town trying to find a store with any stock; but mainly because there is usually a freebie involved which makes the wait worth it even if it get's to me a day or two late. Isn't the freebie enough of a consolation?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] sunmybun:
this phone is def. worth the wait and the 2 year contract price

to the people who didnt get the phone yet:

you guys wont be disappointed of the phone.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrAwesome75:
Despite it being so similar to the Note 8, I am still glad I got this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
I placed my order on 8/15 and my card has never been charged. I've already got the free shipping now I have a $70 account credit for this BS. I understand it's not T-Mobile's fault that the phones were delayed, but the inconsistency in the information TMo they give their customers is ridiculous. I was promised without a shadow of a doubt that I would have my phone early on 8/21 and I believe if you tell me crap like that and it doesn't happen I can hold it against you.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] maverixz:
Got the 512 unlocked in Blue from B & H. Had initially ordered it on the night of the reveal after I got the email notification from Samsung then discovered the next morning that B & H was offering the new Dual wireless charger and a Dex base as add-on freebies besides Samsung's freebie of an AKG headphones that I wanted so I canceled the Samsung order and went to B & H.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] KOLIOSIS:
Absolutely agree:

T-Mobile's servers/desktop site/etc..... are their achilles heel.

The people are awesome,but,they're powerless when their own systems won't allow for accurate/up-to-date info & consistency across all platforms.

Currently,for my order:

The desktop site shows No Alerts/Status of my order on the main My T-Mobile Page.

If I click on ACCOUNT HISTORY,it says ORDER ON HOLD

However,if I use the T-Mobile app,it actually shows the order as ON IT'S WAY,with accurate up-to-date tracking.

More evidence of the neglected site maintenance/etc.... is the latest security breach:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Birdsfan:
I just cancelled my order with Samsung US. Amazon has the Blue 512 unlocked/US model in stock, I ordered it yesterday so I get the free Fortnight or headphones and they bundled the duo wireless charger and dex. Order today and you'll have it early next week if you can't wait on Samsung to fill their own orders.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigMosley:
I agree, I love T-Mobile compared to Verizon which are completely money hungry plus I get free Netflix so that killed off another bill I had to pay. I live in the city so I have great data speeds, which are sometimes 3x faster than Verizon was. The $70 account credit has chilled me out, I will patiently wait for the Blue 512gb to become available. I even called Samsung Promotions yesterday and they created a case number for me because I probably wont get the device until after the 13th which is the cut off for the pre-order gifts, since its their fault theres a shortage in available devices anyway.

It says the headphone rebate must be submitted by 9/13 and how can we submit if we have no phone?

Unless i don't get my phone until October, because that's almost two months late and even though i preordered it on the 10th of august like everybody else i won't get my freebies until i have my phone in hand. Some of us are just concerned that we preordered and now we're screwed. My note 8 is nice, i love it and I'm keeping it, but i still want my new phone and the freebies. i paid $99 to get them both.

Brick & mortar stores in my area (all carriers/retailers) are not stocking the 512 model in any color ATM.

I'm in a decent-sized metropolitan area (small big-town/big small-town,take your pick).

Would be interesting to hear from some of you in the larger markets (Houston/LA/Chicago/Boston/NYC,etc.....) regarding in-store availability....

So I sent an email and asked. Got a really quick response but kind of looks like a form letter:

Thank you for contacting the Customer Service Department at B&H Photo Video and Pro Audio.

Unfortunately we don't have an expected delivery date at this time for your order as it is currently backordered by the manufacturer.

As soon as we receive it in stock we will promptly ship it to you. Once the order has been shipped we will notify you via e-mail. I apologize for this delay and any inconvenience it has caused you.

Please let us know if you require any further assistance.

Thank you, we appreciate your business​

Amazon came through for me, ordered unlocked Blue 512 Fortnite skin plus free dex & duo wireless yesterday, shipped today will arrive Monday!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Guyinlaca:
That's unfortunate. Living in a county with 9.5% Sales Tax, ordering a 512 GB through Verizon, Best Buy or Amazon would have amounted to nearly $120 in taxes plus activation fees (if getting the carrier model). I'll wait and see, but if the delays extend beyond the gift rebate submission deadline I may just cancel and stick with my Note 8 and its terrible speaker. Going with the 128 GB / 6 GB RAM doesn't seem worth it coming from a Note 8. Last year, the promotions for the Note 8 were so much better, and the pre-orders shipped right away. Given that the S10 is around the corner, paying full price to wait 2 months and lose out on rebates for a phone that will likely crash in price on Black Friday doesn't make sense.

The joys of being a techie who hates feeling stuck with mid range gadgets...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NephilimWrites:
If i had the choice I'd just cancel it, unfortunately my boyfriend already added me to his service plan to get me the 512 lavender as a gift. I almost ... AAAALMOST feel bad for being so upset that i won't be able to get my freebies at all and i won't have my phone for 2 months. Technically i haven't had to drop a dime for any thing except the extra $99 to get both freebies. This October 21st date is freaking ridiculous.

How much could I flip my Verizon blue 8 gig version for?.. jk I'm in shock Samsung pulled the trigger way to fast on releasing this phone. Wanting to beat Apple to the market is going to hurt them imo. When I see dates of October, that's nuts! I have faith Samsung will catch-up on orders faster than it sounds with these given delivery dates. I would bet the farm no one will have to wait until October 21st for delivery. The phone is great. It'll be worth the few weeks of waiting. Anyone want mine for $1800?? Lol. Just joking I think ;)

Brand new in box note 9' are selling for $825 on swappa. There's no demand for a $1k phone.

Some are likely selling the extra phone they don't need from the BOGO or,discounted phones with trade-in.

Regardless of which phone we're talking about,I'd think it's a bit soon to make a call on the demand.

With the BOGOs,the free phone is limited to the lower storage option, regardless of which one the other phone in the BOGO is.
