So last night I ordered my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge directly from the Samsung UK website and nowhere did I see it mention the free VR that everyone else is getting.
I placed my order anyway and decided to give Samsung UK a call to find out why. It turns out that only carriers are offering the VR on contracts and not on SIM Free purchases direct from Samsung, despite what was said in the keynote. The support staff told me that they had lots of people calling to complain about this and have started an internal petition on behalf of their users, the more people that call the bigger the list.
If you want any chance of getting a VR like everyone else I would give them a call and complain. It's worth a shot.
The number for support is: 0330 726 7467
The Galaxy S7 Edge is actually even more expensive in the U.K. than the rest of the E.U. (thanks to some shady Euro > Pound conversion). 639.00 GBP = 818.902 EUR vs €799 in continental europe.
There is no white version in the UK for some reason either, as opposed to countries within the Eurozone.
I have just ordered two S7 Edges on Vodafone and ensured I got a headset with each phone. I'll sell one of them to make £50 back as the other phone is for the wife.
Pretty crappy of Samsung not to provide the headset when you buy direct. I wouldn't be at all happy about that.
Thanks very much for posting this. Just called them and added my name to their "internal poll".
As you said, the more that call, the more chance this will happen.
Other details I got from them were:
- The UK region is only scheduled to get Gold or Black for now
- The UK region is only scheduled to get a 32GB model
No polls for either of those, seems like quite a "set" thing.
EE still have nothing about the gear vr on their website? i
I ordered through chitter chatter and they are giving a 64 gb micro sd card instead.
Ill give that samsung number a ring and see . THanks
A Samsung employee posted on another thread that when pre ordering, sim free phones aren't eligible, only those on contracts.
See that really wouldn't bother me if they said that at the keynote. What they did say was "preorders in the US & special countries" then later stating Europe. As the UK is in Europe and I preordered at the right time I assumed I ticked all the boxes. Instead all we get is a lousy rugby pen.....I hate rugby haha so that's just salt in the wound.

I've noticed the Samsung website now says free VR for all pre-orders before March 10th. It didn't say this yesterday, so they must have updated it

thanks for replying i emailed samsung and have a email saying we will get a vr so i have evidence now if it doesnt go to plan im sure it will though
Just a follow up, I called support asking whether the VR would show on the order and was told "we're not sure whether we're adding the VR as a separate order or onto existing ones" this explains why they're not showing on preorders.

Samsung UK is selling the S7 for 569 GBP, though which is exactly the same as 699 EUR.
On the other hand, we don't have a white option for the regular S7 here in Bulgaria and I think none of the markets have it in white, actually.
The S7 Edge, however, should come in white as well.
only voda and car phone warehhouse are giving the gear vr free so the whole free on all pre orders was just a lame marketing ploy to boost initial sales. As to the g5 I have a g4 at the minute and only the 815 international version has an unlockable bootloader unlock via lg only and bye bye warranty since the g4 has a hardware bug that is causing bootloop in the first batch devices I don't put much faith in lg for a substitute.G4 had bad overheating and touch screen issues for about 5 months till lg patched it out.

Yes I've just had an email from Samsung UK stating that all preorders from them automatically get the VR headset "while stock lasts"
Was a bit disappointed as I thought it was a shipping email ?

I have looked around and haven't really found a thread on this, so I wanted to start one.
Can people who have been to their local AT&T stores report what the sales reps are telling you about GS3 availability?
My local stores are now saying they will be in stock on Monday, June 25th. Is this consistent with what anyone else has been told? Has anyone actually gone into an AT&T store and found that they did in fact get them in stock today?
Please report your findings.
the ultimate insult for pre-order geeks like myself would be to be able to walk in a store and buy a phone off the shelf that millions of people who pre-ordered are still waiting for.....that would be a PR nightmare no matter what carrier you are on
if I were PR for any of them I would tell all the stores to keep them "on backorder status" until the majority or all pre-orders are fulfilled
I've always walked in and bought the first one on release day
Don't bait the trolls.

Don't know what you mean by this...I'm not trolling, just want to know when I can walk into a store and buy an S3.
i have talked with three at&t's stores here in houston..........
all of them had said, the 28th....and that they were getting 2 order/shipments....one for pre-orders and one for instore(first come first serve)
I was in my local AT&T store today because the sim card sent with my phone wasn't LTE so they swapped it out. They had no idea when the phones were coming in but they had just got cases while I was there.
All I can say is this:

Went to my local store twice in the last week and called another. My store told me that it was going to be available in store on 20th June. On 20th I was told that they have no idea when its coming and check back on 24th. One store that I called told me that they had no idea because there is no form official communication from AT&T. Both stores didn't even have display models.
I understand that people who pre-ordered feel entitled to have the phone before anyone else , but there have been plenty of launches where people got their preordered phones after the launch date. Preordering doesn't put you first in line, it guarantees you a device... Ugh... Get ourselves.

but if there is enough stock to "launch", assuming you mean phones in stores for walk in buyers, there was enough phones to fulfill preorders, which came first...
I have checked my local store several times and was told the official release date would be June 28..
And would not sell me one until then....

I had mine for a couple days. But its the same here where no one is selling it. Out of all the places I went only one even had a couple cases. Good luck getting it. The GS3 is one of my favorite devices. And is worth getting for sure.

06/20/2012 - no idea when it will be in the store
06/21/2012 - maybe the 24th, they haven't received any shipments as of yet
06/22/2012 - 28th
Not in store yet
I just got back from my local AT&T store and they told me they would have it on the 28th and they would not have a demo model till then either.
damnit i wanna go play with a demo model
actually that got me kicked out of a victoria secret, maybe I shouldn't
We ordered ours 2/24 around noon. I see all these lucky T-mobile guys getting their a week early... I guess Tmo is known to do that. Any luck AT&T does such things?
Would love to get mine early.
Also, does anyone know if they ship regular, or overnight it? I sure hope it's shipped 3/7 and not later! I'm anxious!!
No movement on mine. I got the T-mobile S6 last year and got it early. Att won't ship it early. In my experience they ship overnight but others have reported 2 day.

I always consider moving to them, but AT&T has had great call quality and signal here. Would have to jump ship and realize t-mobile sucks around here.
Ordered mine at 6AM ET on 2/23 and it still says shipping on March 7th.

Yup, me too actually. Although I could do with their free international data roaming, and overall lower costs! But AT&T mostly has reception when friends with T-mobile got nothing
Ordered on the first morning both S7 and Edge, no movement.
Well, I'm on AT&T but I ordered from Best Buy, so my shipping will be different—but from what I've gathered, T-Mobile is really the only carrier who ships early...at least ridiculously early. I think they pretty much stick to their guns and deliver it by release day, maybe a day or two early if you're lucky. I'm curious as to how Best Buy works in these situations, and if the carrier you chose has any effect on shipping dates. Anyone know?
Mine still says March 7th. But the Gear S2 (free with S7) which was supposed to ship by March 2nd thru 4th, just shipped via Fedex overnight!
Guess this means the pre-orders for the S7 could ship earlier than the 7th and should also ship overnight via Fedex.

I think the last times I have ordered a phone from AT&T it came via Fedex. Most things I get shipped come via UPS, so Fedex usually sticks out.
Yes, the next 10 days are going to go soooooooooooo slowly, I already have a buyer for my Note 3 (sold way faster than expected) so want the new phone to get here asap.
I got a free S2 when I went in and pre-ordered my S7 Edge. Sweet deal
I already sold my S6 so I am back using my Nexus 5. To say I want this phone now is an understatement...lol
Was the deal on at&t? They had a deal on my local at&t for a gear s2 free with the purchase of a galaxy phone with the exception of the s7 and s7e

Says on the website "Buy a new Samsung Galaxy smartphone on AT&T Next℠ and get a Samsung Gear S2 for FREE on a 2-year agreement. See offer details."
After I placed my order for the S7 Edge I called ATT and had the Gear S2 added. Just got delivered too.

You must have gotten lucky.
Must buy an eligible Samsung Galaxy smartphone on AT&T Next℠ agmt w/ qual. monthly wireless svc plan (voice & data). Excludes Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge.
The phone rep pointed that out to me, so i cancelled my order, and said i was considering switching to T-Mobile. Appearently the rep i talked to didnt want to deal with **** and replied "I hope you have a great day and an easy time with the switch." and hung up.
So, i think tomorrow im gonna go talk to the uncarrier.
FYI, I did some research and found that ATT shipped the S6 early last year! They shipped on 4/4. I and many other on here got theirs on 4/6. The official S6 launch was 4/10/15.
So there is hope.

And now that I think about it, the rep I talked to did sound new on the job... Well I'm really thankful now!
EDIT: Actually, I'm sure ATT changed the terms without notice. Maybe had set # of stock for the S7/Edge.
Ordered early the day it was available for pre-order. No updates made since that day and I'm not expecting it to unfortunately
Just tried to reps with att and got denied on the watch as it's not eligible with the s7 or edge. Ugh

That's cool for some that want it through best buy but ebay's reputable sellers have the phone for about $60 or so cheaper. Heck for, 20 bucks more than what best buy has, you can get the edge on ebay. Got my edge for $700 when 232tech got their hands on it.

The downside about getting international models is not having warranty. Some do offer it but most dont. I bought a third party warranty so I'm alright.

Right now Samsung Pay only works with US carriers and devices locked to their networks.
According to this, Best Buy is giving a warranty, and it looks like they are funding it with the ridiculously high $710 price for the S7 flat.
I want to get this version from Bestbuy, according to a Samsung representative over the chat, Samsung will provide warranty for 12 months BUT you would have to contact Samsung International (whatever that means.) the other downside is that it seems to be more information about this unlocked version having some network performance issues with TMobile, So I contacted them and without specific details they said that they can't guarantee all their network features to be available in this version... I don't know what to do, I really want a version without bloatware and relatively fast updates but reliable (warranty and network performance) any thoughts ?
I purchased one of these phones from Best Buy in NYC.
When I had an issue I called Samsung for Warranty Support. I was told that they would not support this in the US - that not only would I have to connect with Samsung International but I would have to send the phone - in my case to Australia! - to get local warranty support there.
It sounded like it would be a pretty big deal to get the warranty support under Samsung and I ended up returning the phone. Certainly there are solutions to this through third party warranty and insurance, but people should just be aware that this is a potential issue...
I have Samsung pay working on a UAE firmware.

T-mobile rep here (speaking unofficially). The s8 and s8+ both require a down payment. The 30 for the s8 and the 130 for the s8+ is required to ensure the monthly payments dont exceed 30 per mo. From what we have access to in tech there is not a way to waive the deposit needed unfortunately. I am fairly sure this applies with all departments as well.
If you want $0 down , try Costco .
Costco will take tax only on EIP T Mobile phone , doesnt matter required down base on device or credit type .
My credit just begining and not so good , T Mobile store required 50% on all device from iOS to Android . I went to Costco , all my 4 lines and 4 device on my account just paid tax only .

Oh **** I didn't notice pre order start tonight!!! I wonder how TMobile will handle my JOD since I just Jumped to the G6!! They probably gonna give me hell since the G6 is not out yet and it has been more than 14days
Unlocked??
I called and asked to see what info I could get and was told that T-mobile will unlock the phone after it's paid in full and also must be on T-mobile service for 40 days.... Then I asked if it will be SIM or Bootloader unlocked ( I knew the Rep would be lost there and I was right) and got no real answer....
I wasn't expecting any miracles by asking a rep but wanted to give it a go anyway.... Hopefully people here can add more info as we go along...
Also thanks for starting this thread Charlie, I was here with ya when we were riding out the Note 7 last year...That was fun.... I expect these next few weeks to be more of the same...LOL!!!

I'm feeling glorious man. Ready to make another epic thread lol
Yeah I'm on the phone with them now. I have the G6 but will pre order tonight. None of the reps seem to understand that I have the phone now.
Was just told I can jump to the S8 just have to trade my G6 in within 30 days.

I called and asked to see what info I could get and was told that T-mobile will unlock the phone after it's paid in full and also must be on T-mobile service for 40 days.... Then I asked if it will be SIM or Bootloader unlocked ( I knew the Rep would be lost there and I was right) and got no real answer....
I wasn't expecting any miracles by asking a rep but wanted to give it a go anyway.... Hopefully people here can add more info as we go along...
Also thanks for starting this thread Charlie, I was here with ya when we were riding out the Note 7 last year...That was fun.... I expect these next few weeks to be more of the same...LOL!!!

This $130 down is complete BS.
It totally destroys the idea of jumping from phone to phone.. who wants to pay $100+ each time they get a new phone + $30 a month.
Please call T-mobile and tell them you do not like this at all!!!

Hopefully we get them a day or two early like some did with the Pixel.
I probably should have waited for the note 8, but I miss my note 7 so bad I just couldn't wait. Currently running Pixel XL.
Got mine in too, I've been on a Moto G4 since I turned in my Note7. Got a Black Plus and even went ahead and ordered some case off amazon already. Almost went with the bestbuy deal but i've had issues with them in the past. I should have probably waited for the next Note but damn I miss having a good camera.
Ordered 2 S8s 1 black 1 grey and 2 S8S+ 1black and 1 grey. It's been 10 years since I've been a Verizon customer (coming from Sprint). It will be good to be back.
I ordered as well....does anyone know how to sign up for our free gifts? I went to samsungpromotions.com after I checked out but I can't figure out where to go.
NM you have to wait until you receive the phone.
I have ordered the s8 plus from Koodo in canada. Should arrive 04/17 according to them. ?

I know what you mean. I have the note 7 and then with everything that happened I was so over Samsung I jumped to Apple and picked up a 7+. That was a big mistake. I was going to wait for the note 8 but I just needed to get out of this phone.
Anyone on Verizon consider ordering the international variant? Or it still the case that it's missing bands that work with CDMA? This is when I start missing my gsm phones.
PS
Ordered s8 midnight black at 1205am EST, 4/21 expected delivery date.
PPS
Did anyone else get the warning that the s8 will not be eligible for an annual upgrade? Isn't that why we joined an early upgrade Plan?

Interesting fact: all the s8 devices on display in my local Verizon store are SM-G950U and SM-G955U. This leads me to believe that big red is selling software customized Unlocked models.

Well, generally carriers carry their own one off model number to identify the bloat that will go into the phone.

I did not. I ordered using my 2 year contract. All in $400.
Indeed, this is evident in the history of Samsung devices for Verizon (SM-N910V, SM-G900VZKV, SM-N915V, SM-G920V, etc) it is just interesting to see that it is a U vs. the usual V coding this time around. I'm hoping this will lead to easier root and bootloader access but only time will tell.

So if I order the phone directly from Samsung, someone please tell me it is not going to be branded.

I had my S7 Edge for a year and it is exactly half paid off. Verizon is taking back my S7, removing the balance of payments for the purchase of my S8.

Which is the same for me but I received the warning that the s8 will not be eligible for an annual upgrade. Chatted with customer support idiots yesterday and after some going back and forth I got them to state that my new phone will be eligible for upgrade after a year, chat log transcript saved.

OK I see what you are saying. Hopefully I will not have the desire or need to switch to something else for at least 2 years. But you never know. I would keep my Edge longer but I have an annoying issue of an over sensitive screen. It drives me crazy.

Yeah same problem with my edge with the screen. I usually upgrade every year lol, unfortunately I cannot help myself. I guess I've gotten better though since there was a time where I updated every 6 months... still need to update my sig lol
