Yeah, my bank account gives me free phone insurance, free roadside assistance, free emergency home cover, free holiday insurance and a couple of other things I can't remember. I don't know how they do it, costs £15/month, but I get £10 of that back just for paying my salary in.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] MKchrias:
Which bank?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lakota:
Ordered mine in store at CPW today. 128GB in blue.

They gave me £465 for my S8+ so I only paid £434 at the till. I just hand my S8+ over when I go to collect my Note.

I collect on 24th in store. They also throw in a free upright desktop wireless charger worth 50 quid.

Can't wait to get a Note back. Missed one since I had my Note 4.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] @home:
Wow that's a lot you got for your S8+, was it sim free or contract.

I thought I did well getting £370 for my Note 8. Appears not.

I didn't know cpw where doing this kind of deal.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bezbozny:
You get 575 I think for note 8 at cpw. Look at some posts above...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bezbozny:
What i find very strange is that you get 200 pounds more for every mote that you trade in (like note 2, 3, 4, 5, etc) but not for note edge. Note edge was the first phone that had a curved screen, was a flagship when it was announced and now its owners are left completely neglected in the trade in offer...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jah:
Good point as the Note 5 was never released in Europe like the Note Edge.

Edit: if you actually try the evaluation offer you see the Note Edge is listed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bonerp:
I bought the watch from Samsung as it comes with a phone and watch wireless charging dock, and the phone from CPW to get the £575 trade in against my note 8. Seems the best UK deal at the moment.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] alfred_mcskee:
Just received my additional S pen from Amazon, works for normal/existing features on my Note8 as would be expected, though obviously doesn't fit in the phone and BT features won't work.

I must say, the new pen to me, feels much more comfortable in the hand, its more squared off in shape and just sits better between my fingers. I've absolutely loved my Note8, but always thought it's S pen felt a little too thin and flat (and I use the pen for everything), though I know it's been the historic design for the Note series.

The colours look good too I think, though I might have changed the gold for more matching yellow, but I'm happy overall.

Anyway, just makes me look forward to the 24th even more now!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pigglett:
Noticed its cheaper than the Note 8 pen too

I got Official LED case yesterday ....only 10 days to wait now :o
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] @home:
Why did you buy a second Spen?

What colour Note 9 did you order?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gavinfabl:
I have a black Note 9. And I ordered a yellow S Pen. Much better combo.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] alfred_mcskee:
It's purely personal preference, though I see a few others have ordered black handsets and opted for a yellow S pen interestingly. Was also tempted to get a copper/brown S pen ?

I currently use my Note8 with an official blue S pen; just adds a little personal customisation in my eyes ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] @home:
Yeah thats the combo I fancied but i thought the blue tip of the spen would look out of place in the black note.

So I went for the Ocean blue.

Do you think that the price will go down soon after the pre order period? What happened to Note 8 1-2 months after release?

Mine was SIM free. They're currently giving and extra 200 for pre orders.

I flashed evr firmware on my Dual sim note 8 for exactly this reason. Volte works fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gavinfabl:
I had a S9 Duos, (dual/hybrid sim) and it automatically had Dual VoLTE on both EE and Three UK. I am hoping it has WiFi calling on the Note 9, otherwise it gets returned to Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mgbosshogg:
Brilliant, thanks for the reply. Thought the firmware would be the same. Funny how the dual lags behind the updates then?

Will do the same next Friday with my 9FD if the EVR firmware is available.

---------- Post added at 08:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:57 AM ----------

Was it a Samsung UK BTU one?

Maybe finally going on the right direction then.

Don't know why Samsung insists on fw for carrier features. If Apple/OnePlus/Huawei can do it carrier agnostic.......

Anyway 8 days to go.......
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] thering1975:
Now I could be wrong as it has been known lol but Samsung don't release a separate fw for single and dual SIM. Keep an eye out on the stock firmware thread that is set up here as it's by the guy who done the note 8. Oxm contains multiple CSC so can be flashed in Odin safely and before the ota arrive. This covers a massive area

Now I'm on a note 8 stock firmware and see attached both volte and WiFi are already present. This is on BTU SIM free. Now carrier specific I can't answer. Obviously volte will only work on primary sim as you can only set 1 SIM as 4g now as mentioned I could be wrong on that point.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] alfred_mcskee:
Is anyone expecting an early release in the UK?

This will be the first Note, in fact phone, I've pre-ordered for day one release and a few of the US "owners" seem to think it could be released up to a week early given experiences of past handset releases? Is the UK known for this too?

I'm just curious, I don't expect anything before the 24th as that's the information I can see on Samsung's website currently.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] @home:
I would say, no chance. It'll be the 24th.

I've gone with the Blue 128GB version via O2 Business

Told I would receive mine on the 24th (sods law as I'm away until Tuesday 28th) so the phone will just be locked away in the reception where my office is

Looking forward to getting it; moving on from my Pixel 2XL (which I bought off the back of selling a Note 8), but regretted that really as the screen isn't a patch on the Note 8 etc!

I ordered black 512 through Carphone Warehouse great trade on deal. Samsung protective standing case due Saturday from Amazon

Just need good glass screen protector.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] danb1979:
I found the amFilm tempered glass protectors best for my previous Note 8; so will give those a bash for the Note 9 and will probably stump up for the Whitestone Dome one too

Will be going for the Supcase rugged case with the built in screen protector as well; so if the tempered glass protectors don't work as well; that's a back up (great case too IMO)

Anyone else trading in a handset with Samsung direct, or have experience in doing so? Apart from my order confirmation email, I've not been given any information on what to do and the T&C's don't seem to explain fully either.

Do they send return packaging and instructions with your actual order, or are they supposed to email you once you've placed the order? I'm trading in a handset I don't use so could send it in anytime, though either way would prefer a headsup on what I should expect/what Samsung require for getting it to them (I know it say 7 days from getting your new phone though)...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] trickie69r:
Going by https://shop.samsung.com/uk/trade-in/ it looks like you have 7 days from receiving the new device.

They also send return packing in the post separately from the new device.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pigglett:
They send plastic envelope all you need send back is the actual phone no accessories (wrapped mine in a lot of bubble wrap) , They recommend recorded delivery as no insurance on the free post Samsung use

I got an email about 3 days after returning a phone stating trade in finalised and thank you :o

might as well sell the handset for a better price on a recycling price comparison site. i think you would get more? i could be wrong...

hmmm im a tad confused with Argos...

i ordered the 512 / ocean blue. says delivery on 24th august, but when you scroll down on the description says delivery from 24th aug. my confirmation email says delivery on the 24th. confused(dot)com!!!!

i would have preferred the ocean blue hybrid sim which was available to pre order on selfridges website, but that said delivery from 24th all over... if its the same with argos would prefer cancel and re-order via Selfridges and get me an ocean blue dual sim. mind you they may have applied their allocation by now ...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] alfred_mcskee:
Samsung offered £70 more for my old phone than any of the UK sites I checked last week. If it wasn't for getting the N9, I would've forgotten about the old handset and it would have simply sat in a draw until it was worth nothing! ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mikey_sk:
gotcha. thing is ive always avoided buying from Samsung direct as have had awful technical calls with them. i tend to buy from a reputable UK seller like John Lewis etc, that have a no fuss returns and even handle a repair on your behalf. went with argos as its owned by sainsburys and love or hate it supermarkets have some of the best no nonsense returns policies and support. also got loads of nectar points with the order.

if you pre order @ pc world via nectar website you get x6 points as well but they didn't have ocean blue and also said stock FROM 24th...

i just have a feeling in my waters argos will contact me to say the delivery is delayed ....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] alfred_mcskee:
I saw on one of the threads, Samsung Unpacked kept stating ships from 24th instead of available from, causing some confusion (Samsung UK says ships from 23rd). Perhaps retailers have just gone with this info from Unpacked, without checking?

Terms and conditions of the site state that you have to buy the phone and trade in online or at the store, you can't do one online and the other in store. You can by all means buy the new note and trade in instore but you have to surrender the phone straight away.

So shipping on the 23rd and delivery on the 24th? How is Samsung delivering its mobiles? Via royal mail?

And a few more questions because it s been a long time since i bought a mobile (i still have the note edge, 4 years now)

1. What do you do when you get the mobile? Charge it for some hours? (in the past we were charging it for like 12 hours i think) or use the remaining of the battery and charge it when it will be empty?

2. Which is the cheapest insurance in UK? What does it cover?

3. Which is the best way to transfer the data to my new phone?

4. What happens with the photos that have been uploaded to google photos? I hope that by transferring them to the new mobile google photos will not think that they are new and start uploading all of them again.... i m asking because this had happened once that i changed memory cards

5. What happens with apps like hidden gallery etc which encrypt and hide your photos? How will they be transferred to the new mobile? Will connecting the new and the old phone via usb and migrating everything will also migrate these data?

Thank you for your help!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Prototype89:
Sorry I mean to say yes, they did take the full amount of £839. They told me to wrap the phone in lots of bubble wrap and insure it using the £500 special delivery option which roughly equated to £7.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] squiggs1982:
For clarity, you can do the trade in in store and surrender your old device when you pick up the Note 9 - that's what I've done. They took about ten minutes checking and testing functionality. Guy in the shop confirmed no new Note until old device is handed in tho :)
