After I pre-order my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (black color) from best buy (upstate NY), they gave me a free Samsung Galaxy Mug. I'm not sure if anyone else got this free gift from best buy, if not, you guys should look into it and get your free Samsung Mug!

I work at best buy. The Samsung reps usually just hand them out to whoever. (Or if you're an employee, just ask for one x])
Maybe you should have included a poll, haha. No mug here.

Technically speaking Samsung Canada contracts out their sales to two different companies. One runs the Samsung Experience stores that have a physical presence in certain malls. Online sales are handed off to Tech Data Canada which is based in Mississauga Ontario.
Pre ordered mine from Telus. Was going to do samsung too until I saw that they are not getting the timely updates one would expect. Unlocked s7/edge is still on Marshmallow. Yuk! Anyway super stoked. Telus might start shipping for as early as the 17th. Fingers crossed! [emoji4]

I won't ever order an unlocked phone again. The Galaxy S7 Edge unlocked phone (G935U) still doesn't have nougat. It just got March security updates and the last ones were December. On top of that, the people that preordered the Gear S3 from Samsung Canada, had to wait over a month from those who ordered from Best Buy.

I wish I could pre-order from my carrier too but I don't want to change my plan and Telus doesn't allow you to just outright pre-order purchase the phone. After my last experience with Tech Data over the Note7 pre-order, I don't feel at all assured that I made the right choice. I remember getting my Note 7 after the release date, even though I pre-ordered it practically within the same hour the window opened!
Don't forget to register for the free gear vr! You have to fill out this form for Samsung in order to receive the gift. Fill it out and when you get your phone, register it and Samsung will send your Gear VR. This should be interesting to see who actually gets it.

I am still deciding on which one to buy s8 or s8 plus.
Do you think s8+ is going to be too big and awkward to use?
BTW I am using S7 edge and it's perfect

Im a little surprised and more than a little annoyed those idiots at samsung are not making the silver and gold versions available at launch here.
God they are stupid and shortsighted. After the huge note 7 fail one would think they would want to sell as many s8's as possible. Which would mean making all colours available.
I pre ordered anyway but will swap it for a sliver or gold exynos version like i did with the note 7 and s7 edge.
Not off to a great start samsung.

Yeah i checked the koodo website...it says silver but i have s strong feeling its the gray one...i may just call them to see.
Im going to swap it for a exynos anyway once my local seller has them so i guess it doesnt really matter what colour i get but its still a stupid move on Samsungs part

That's going suck if it's not silver. I'm actually curious if exynos will still have the edge in battery life like it did with the sd820. I'm hoping we canadians don't screwed. If not then I know which note8 version im going be getting later this year lol

We got screwed after the S7...

Much in every way.

anyone know what the model # is for the version Samsung will sell direct? Trying to confirm frequency support for Public Mobile LTE
Will the version sold direct by Samsung have frequency support like the SM-G955F?
So there is no way we can get coral blue color version in Canada?
I guess orchid grey is as close as we can get to blue

Considering that the Note FE is more or less the same as the Note 7 with a smaller battery and updated OS. Is there really a good reason to create a new sub thread in XDA. I will wait until the price of the Note FE has dropped a bit and is available from my favourite importers before I get it. I don't trust eBay for electronics.

This is the first time I have bought a device on Ebay, ive avoided it till now as im nit overly trusting either lol. But in this case it was my only option and I didnt want to wait it out as prices may actually go up only 400k units and once they are gone the prices for re sellers will get jacked way up. Supply and demand...
Considering that Samsung may release the Note FE globally with the expection of the US. I think I will wait rather than risk it with eBay. I have purchase a few things from eBay and they both arrived perfectly. Brand new as stated on the sellers page. But then again I choose to a Premium Seller to purchase those items from. So I guess if you purchase the Note FE from a premium seller you would be fine.

Note FE, who's getting one?

I just ordered my silver FE from Ebay.
Wasnt going to due to the price being high for a year old device but in the end I caved lol.
Had 3 note 7s from last Aug to Jan 2017 and have been wanting another one badly even though I have an S8 plus.
So who else is in for Note 7 round 3 lol?

I would love to get one. But it's steeper than I hoped. And it's going to be difficult and expensive to ship it out of Korea. And I don't think it's going to be worth it, no matter how good it was.
Maybe next time, when it's easily available.

Yeah it was alot more than I expected it to be for a year old device which is refurbished. but with only a limited run of 400k available it may become very hard to get and then of course the price goes up so i figured better get one now at current prices

I've seen conflicting spec sheets as to the processor being used:
Most state an Exynos,a few have listed Qualcomm.
I'm guessing the former,but,this is a rather unique phone,more so given the history/etc.....
Please,if you would,load up an app such as AIDA 64,& post (screenshots) of what ya have.

And im stoked for this also...been waiting and waiting for it to happen..couple more days lol..
Mine is going to be delivered tomorrow. I am so excited!
I'm Note waiting
Had notes 1,2,3,4,5 and 7. Since the recall(s) I tried the stylo 3 which was OK. But currently I'm rocking a rooted Galaxy Note edge. I ordered the Fe from eBay and I should get it Friday. I had fond memories of the 7. The Note 8 will probably be a Rockstar but I decided to go with a known entity. Hopefully double tap of home button still brings up the camera.
I'm planning on getting one but waiting for an EMEA launch, don't want the Korean variant.
Hopefully we can see an SM-N935F soon.

I was going to wait for the same reason,perhaps a Dual-SIM variant (FD),but,I can get by w/one SIM,my carrier has a virtual number of sorts,to where you can use two numbers w/one SIM (T-MobileUS,DIGITS app).

If it's launched in Middle East, there will most probably be an FD variant and the single SIM F variant for Europe, but I'm eagerly waiting for them to announce one outside of Korea so it'll be easier to get.
