Getting my S9 8th of March - Samsung Galaxy S9 Questions & Answers

I'm getting my S9 in a few days. Not sure if it's normal or not, but got confirmation that I can pick it up 8th of March.
Thought the release were 16th of March?

i'm getting mine today, so nothing special, i think the demand is very soft on this year's model

Where did you two order yours from?

Yeh, its eerily quiet in the S9 forums too, unlike last year where every country and carrier had their own s8/s8 plus "waiting rooms" lol. The buzz is nowhere near as strong as last year. I'm getting mine on Friday hopefully. I'm in the UK and I'm looking forward to it, im a sucker for new phones ?

Mine is being shipped on 8th and should be with me on the 9th, bonus of pre-ordering is getting it a little bit early.
Ordered mine via Samsung Upgrade Program.

I'm in the US and I pre-ordered (unlocked version) from Samsung. I'm having trouble figuring out when it should ship. Anybody have a clue?

Delivery by the 14th apparently. No idea what day they will actually ship.

Update.... according to Samsung customer service, I'll have the new device in hand by March 14th. This is for a pre-ordered unlocked version (US version) directly from Samsung.

Been notified mine is arriving tomorrow ( 8th ) - Carphonewarehouse UK

I ordered mine about 5 minutes after the pre orders went live. I'm in the US, is it only in the UK they are shipping early?

This was a order from a physical store in Norway.

Not impressed

Anyone in the US get any shipping confirmations?

Woohoo, status just went from processing to shipping!
same here . it'd be cool if it got here tomorrow instead of friday
Nice! I was worried about how quick they would be shipped out from them. I'm getting mine from Best Buy, but glad you're getting hooked up on time.
Come on Wirefly!! Change my status!

I'm jealous! You bastards!
No upgrade status for me... (
I just checked again and now it changed to 'credit approved'.
Mines still processing D: HURRY UP!
Same here, it went to shipping a few hours ago.
Hot damn can't wait to get this in my hands. Been chomping at the bit since the 4th when I ordered it.
my "shipping" status updated at 10:30am pacific standard this morning... I really hope they ship these by tomorrow.. will be kinda annoying thinking I coulda just walked into the Sprint store or Radio Shack and picked it up.. and I'm eligible for the service credit of $125 so in the end I'd get it for considerably cheaper.. only reason I don't cancel is none of the stores.. even the Sprint store in my area doesn't know for sure if they will have them Friday.. and if they do maybe they will get just a few.....
how long did it take for your guys sprint credit approval?

I pre-ordered on the 6th and it was approved today. Sounds like they just starting going through the credit approval process.

Mine has been that way all day today but they still will not ship them till friday.It will stay the way it is listed right now till friday when they ship.If you ordered late it could change from shipped to backorder.
But even though ours says shipping it won't ship before friday with a Monday delivery.

and you know this how?
It's likely correct that they wont ship till Friday .. unfortunately. Does kinda suck.. and not sure why they do it.. if I order a game from gamestop.. it's usually shipped the day or 2 days before release date so I receive it on "release day"
Hope the Walmart/LetsTalk order ship early too.
For those of you who are seeing the shipping notice, what day did you order? I ordered monday from letstalk and it still says waiting carrier approval...

When Can I Buy Asus Zenfone 2?

When it will release?

Asus stated at CES sometime in March of this year... They didn't state where or when exactly, but global roll-out often takes a few additional months (or longer) to pass all through all regulatory, distribution, and other legal issues.
I heard it might go on sale here in South Africa (probably a few other places too) 9th March. So tomorrow, fingers crossed!
eBay has it http://www.ebay.com/itm/ASUS-Zenfon...-5in-13MP-ZE550ML-2GB-RAM-Black-/171715609309
So yes you can buy it now. Although don't expect delivery until the end of the month or early next month.
However, you will be paying near on $100 premium to get it so early. Patience is a virtue.............
Oh, and it will probably only have LTE bands 3, 8, and 28 activated.

And with that said, it's safe to say that's the reason it's called the ->Zen<-fone as it challenges one's inner peace, hehe.
Just wait 2 more weeks. I rather buy it officially from Asus them self instead of greedy seller's.
Sent from my SM-T230NU using XDA Free mobile app
I'd like to be able to buy from a local ASUS outlet too, but you got to think twice when they'll mark up the price just because they think we can all afford whatever they charge for it. Here in Australia I'm expecting the Zenphone 2 to be retailing for double the prices we're seeing in Taiwan. And even then it won't likely have all the Australian LTE network bands enabled.

Post when your Note 7 has shipped!

Meant to post this in the tmobile section. Mods please delete.
Note shipped
Mine shipped on Sunday (Verizon) however, upon closer inspection of the FedEX tracking I was provided, i noticed that it was as a delayed delivery date. My receipt date still shows 8/19 :/
Im still waiting =(
We're all still waiting. Looks like they got smart and decided to use future ship dates. Maybe they're hoping someone doesn't get it early, do a review trashing the phone and have people cancel pre-orders last second.

There is tons of review now and no one is trashing the phone. Personaly it's S7E on steroids... And when you by it with a contract it's not so big of a difference at my country... just 50 EUR

A) why daddy?
B) It's amazing. Granted, my fastest phone previously was an HTC One Max, but this is just a massive upgrade in every way. I'm still going through the nitty gritty of setting it up, but I'm mainly done, and it's just... fluid.

Offline booking... You won't get any case for free... As it was Samsung exclusive deal only for 6 hours in "live sale"... With early delivery on 9th Sep.
i prebooked it on 11:56pm and when the payment is done it was 11:59:47 pm so i was not eligible for case and pen. so i cancelled the order
i was 47sec late LOL

Ouch! But it's a matter of time before these offers start showing up...
on samsung shop app when i click on exchange and put my s21+ 256gb it shows deffered exchange value of 62360.
The S21+ is in pristine condition,my question is will Samsung/cashify honour this exchange value or will they throw tantrums while paying the amount later.Attaching screenshot of the same.
I went to a samsung cafe and the offered me 57,000(including 7k exchange bonus).
Anyone else has experience with samsung deffered exchange programs?

I didn't realize there are 2 options....instant and deferred! But in my experience with cashify....they always stick to their promised value as long as your assessment is true!

Samsung customer support has zero knowledge on this offer, frankly they cant even speak without shuttering, rip samsung
i think anyone who placed the order after 24th aug is eligible
Woohoo!!! My zfold3 is packaged and ready to be shipped!
Any update from offline stores for precooked deliveries. hopefully can expect to collect tomorow
My phone has shipped and should arrive in a couple days! Final leg of the wait!!
Picked up my pre-booked device last night from the Samsung store. Initially booked the black, but changed to the green colour, and it looks excellent. The phone has dual SIM slots plus esim support. Waiting for my Spigen Slim Armor Pro case, it will be delivered today. The phone is stuck on the July security update, probably will take a day or two for it to get the latest update.
Awesome!!! It's an 888 chip in there I hope (and no exynos surprises)

Yes, it has the snapdragon 888 chip…none of the z series have an exynos processor.

General Samsung Delays

Hi,
Anyone else getting shipping delay notices from Samsung?? I was at first scheduled for 02/25, then it changed to 03/04, and today I see it's 03/25??? I thought I would be playing with it already, by the way ordered the 256/Burgandy/S22Ultra.

I pre-ordered Feb 16th the graphite s22 256gb on samsung's site and it got pushed back to March 15th and even the samsung cases were pushed back to March 29th. Who else on the same boat and when did you order? If you got it already share your pre-order date and arrival

Order completely pushed back to March 29th 2022. Very disappointing!
Graphite as well. Ordered on 11th Feb. Delivery is noted as 04/03/2022.
Not sure if this means delivery on 4th march (03) or 3th april (04). As I am in Switzerland, the date should be stated as dd.mm.yyyy, which it clearly isn't, so I am not sure about the used date format.
Status was updated couple of days ago to "shipped". No Tracking-No. whatsoever and it didn't arrive yet.
I got mine yesterday, yahoo!!!!!!
My pre-order was on Feb 20th and delayed due to custom blue color.. the CS rep said that they deliver in 5 weeks.. So hopefully I get it by next week
Update on my order. First I received this giving me hope.
