With the note 8 announcement a few days away who is planning on getting this phone?
I am perfectly happy with my s8+ and can't imagine the note 8 will be that much better than the s8. I could give in to impulse and jump to the note 8 though

My Note 5 completely hardware crashed so I'm using a S7 Edge ATM until the note 8 released but I will wait to see what actual specs are. If they are not that much difference from S8+ then I will Seattle on S8+ so I don't spend the extra $$$.
ill be jumping to the note 8 for sure i want dual cameras and the pen
More than likely i wont. But my wife probably will cause her s8+ is cracked at the screen and now has a yellow tint that cannot be removed. At $175 for a claim, with TMO JUMP we actually owe less than that to JUMP and switch to another phone so its a no brainer to switch.
Im am definitly getting the note 8 from tmobile soon as pre order hits anyone know how much down or the full price
I will just because I always jump when new phones come out for the freebies

Down payment would depend on your credit standing and full price upwards of $800 probably.
I have tmobile and great credit but we will find out at 11a.m est how much it is i hear 800$ to 1000$

I've been on Jump 2.0 for the longest time, can you or anyone else please elaborate the difference between JUMP and JOD with the exception of JOD allowing you to upgrade more often with $0 down and a couple extra a month compared to JUMP. What other advantages/disadvantage between the two?
Nope. Don't need the pen. Not much differentiation to the S8+. Don't like the edgier design either.

Could be wrong but with JUMP you must pay 50% off of the current device while JOD there is no required amount to pay off. Not sure of the price difference per month. JUMP is $12 a month if i'm not mistaken.

Yep, that I know too.
I guess what I'm looking for are positives of staying with JUMP instead of changing to JOD.

You know, it's funny, with EITHER of those "freebies" I don't see myself being compelled to move to the Note 8 even though I have jump on demand. The device is just not that great. In terms of Tmobile, it's not even compatible with their 600MhZ band.

According to the Samsung website, it does not list S8 / S8+ models as an available trade in. Also, how about those that are still on the Note7?
I originally had 3 Note 7's, mine, wife, mom. I gave mine up for the S8+, mom did too, wife kept Note 7. So would we technically all 3 would be able to update to Note 8 at a $425 discount on each of the 3 phones? Also, how would it work since all 3 phones are currently on T-Mo?

I got this from the tmobile website:
https://www.t-mobile.com/devices/samsung-galaxy-note8
Look at the section at the bottom titled "Questions about the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 at TMobile":
I bought the Galaxy S8 with JUMP! On Demand. How much will it cost to JUMP! to the Samsung Galaxy Note8?
Customers are responsible for the down payment as well as applicable devices taxes.
For the Galaxy Note8, the down payment for well qualified JUMP! On Demand customers, would be $0 and then $39 each month.
So... Not quite sure where you're seeing that the S8 isn't eligible for trade-in. I'm not going to do it, but I'd rather have valid information disseminated than not.

With TMo it is. I am referring to the Samsung website that I quoted before. If you are eligible for the $425 discount, click on Get Started and you'll see the selection only goes up to the S7/edge models with no mention of the S8/S8+

As the title says Galaxy Note cost me $300 with 2yrs of AT&T contract, HOW? I upgraded my line for IPHONE 4S 16GB for $200, Sold it on Craigslist for $650 and add $100 more on top of $650 and bought GNOTE from Handtec.co.uk for $750. I think i got a good deal and most of Super phones that comes out these days cost $200-300 on a contract anyways. My Gnote is in transit and i am gonna receive it tomo via Fedex can't wait..... THANKs To HANDTEC for a great price and fast shipping.
I just bought a 4s and am doing the same thing but I'm waiting on the white Note to be released.

Will the Galaxy note from India work for ATT?
specs are as follows:

Any information will be highly helpful.
thanks
Yes the galaxy Note from India will work with AT&T.
At&T uses band 850 and 1900 for 3G network.
I thought the Note may come out on ATT officially before end of the year with LTE support. Why not just wait another 1-2 months and see what happens.

I highly, highly doubt it. But if it does, I can always sell my current one and use the money to buy the AT&T version. Unless AT&T's version is crappier, in which case I'll simply be glad I enjoyed my Note for all of that time before AT&T got around to releasing one, and also appreciate how much better my international version is.
For people waiting to "cash in" their 24 month upgrade credit, the smart way to do it is to buy the most valuable for resale phone at the time (unfortunately usually an iphone) and sell it, saving the money for the phone they actually want. No point in waiting for the phone you actually want to be released unless you know it's coming soon and the resale value's high enough that with ebay/paypal fees included it wouldn't make more sense to go the other iroute.
Thoughts?

I'm on AT&T myself and might just wait and see what happens. If it doesn't come to AT&T, I could still always choose the UK version...and maybe the price would even come down a bit.
I'm using the Dell Streak right now. I love it, so I really don't mind waiting a bit.
mha1021 or anyone here, Can someone please, please tell me how to get a an iphone 4s with a 2 year contract to get the discount but instead activate a galaxy note instead? Perhaps i missed the details but I live in Long Island NY and at&t is not selling the iphone 4s without activating it. Am i supposed to buy it, activate the iphone and then use the sim card with the note? Is the iphone then locked or imei not cleared and not sell-able? My goal is to get a 2 year contract using the galaxy note, but purchase the iphone on the 2 year contract at $200 and then sell it to offset the cost of the note.

Go to an Apple Store & tell them you want to use your upgrade but dont activate it there.

It doesn't hurt anything to activate the sim card in the iphone then take it out and use it in the Note. You may have to put it in a dumbphone before the Note if you want to call in and have them switch you to the $15 unlimited dumbphone data, or you may be able to just call them, give them the Note's IMEI, and tell them it's a dumbphone (insert brand/name of dumbphone here.)
But if you want the iphone unopened/unactivated (maybe it sells for more? I don't know), you can purchase it through apple in a store or on their website, using your upgrade for the $200 price, then when it gets to the apple store tell them not to open or activate it.
Thank you Max, I do not have an upgrade as I am not an at&t customer. I am planning of going under my gf's family plan so I was looking to get a new 2 year contract under that plan. (Does that matter?) I am OK with paying all of the family plan rates and am not looking to get unlimited via other means. My main problem is I was lead to believe via many posts (not here) that getting an iphone 4s with the 2 year discount was easy and I could then sell it. at&t will not sell an iphone 4s here in LI without activating it. So, is activation what I have to do or are there other options where I could get a boxed iphone 4s (legally) and activate my note instead? However, this is another important question... If I activate a brand new iphone 4s, what do I have to do to make this phone sell-able? at&t said that I had to keep the iphone for 6 months. How do they know? Is the imei locked? Do I have to unlock it via other means or can someone just add this phone to their plan? I wish at&t was more forthcoming. I do not see why there is a problem here since I am buying the 2 year contract in the first place.

Only problem is no insurance through ATT if you have an accident. You can buy a year online for $60 from a 3rd party though.
Attached is a photo leaked from ATT website of Galaxy S6 edge pricing. Look on the right side of the page to see it.

Would mean locked into AT&T for 2 years. Unless you want to cancel and pay out the rest of the contract.

You do know that contract or not.. You're still in debt to them with a device? A contract your stuck for two years with a upgrade every year. or so.. With T-Mobile new finance option you pay $0 down and they say you're not in a contract. But if you want to leave T-Mobile today or tomorrow you have to pay whatever you owe on that phone still..
So a $800 device with $32 payments every 12 months for two years.. with a upgrade(Jump) once you paid 40% of that device off with the trade in of the current device you have.
Also AT&T has the same options now as they call "Moving away from contracts" with AT&T next. $0 down 12 months finance.
The price in that picture is a two year contract price. The only way to buy that phone off contract from AT&T would be to get on AT&T next. Bring it home and activate it then pay off the device 5 mins later. You can cancel the service after that if you like for free

this is exactly why samsung removed the sd card, to sell phones at higher price. if people actually do spend the money on 128gb devices they will practically double their profits because data/memory prices are dirt cheap these days. maybe its time for FCC to start some mobile neutrality like they did for internet providers, to stop companies from gouging consumers.

We dont't know yet. It may be 32/299, 64/349, 128/ 399.
It's the Edge in that pic.
$299 for the 32gb Edge is pretty expected. What were you thinking??
How much was the Note Edge on a 2 year at launch with ATT. $299 was it not?
Hopefully the S6 32gb will be the standard flagship price of $199 on a 2 year ATT.
I'm looking on the website and I can't find it. I'm bout to buy the s6 and s6 edge

Samsung said the release date will be april 10th. They didn't specify any carrier.
Seems like looking at the leaked price, the 32GB edge will be 750 off contract. I have a one plus one and am spoiled by the 64GB it has.. Really don't want to spend 800 on a phone honestly and I want the edge lol

Tmo confirmed on twitter they will launch Edge and S6 on April 10th, which is global launch date. You should just switch to tmo and forget ATT, tmo is faster anyway or get Metropcs, even cheaper and still equal speed!
Looks like best buy is giving best deal on note 5, free wireless charger (the one for S6 not new wireless fast charging one) and $200 gift card on trade in of old smartphone.
Pre ordered mine but they are not shipping early as at&t is doing.
Edit:
Looks like I got best deal of all
I got

If that's a fast wireless charger then it would be great but by looking at picture of ad it doesn't look so. They have posted SKU number but I have not been able to search anything using those. Previous chargers (which is out of stock) has different SKU, so we can hope.

AT&T is doing $200 off with a smartphone trade in and as long as it meets $10 on their trade in calculator they will give you the money, regardless of if it has a cracked screen. My LG G2 with just a cracked screen is worth $19 according to the calculator, however the headphone jack is busted and cracked so according to the calculator it's worth $0, but if it was JUST a broken screen it would have qualified for the $200.

The wireless charger that is being given out is the current non-fast charging pad. If you read the fine print, it specifically has a SKU stated which is the same one being sold in stores currently.
As for the trade-in offer, the phone must be a postpaid type smartphone, and cannot be one that is prepaid or commonly sold on prepaid.

What phones were they? I feel like there isn't a clear description of what these phones need to be. One best buy told me it has to me the current phone on my contract, another told me it couldn't be older than a galaxy S3.
I have a Moto X 2013 I've had to use as a backup phone a few times. Looks like I would only get about $75-$100 on eBay. I might just trade that in. If I ever need a backup phone again, I'll just buy something for $50.

It only has to be worth something, go to bestbuys trade in page and look up any phone you have or wish to buy as trade in. As long as it's worth some sort of trade in value you'll get the full $200. It doesn't not need to be any phone currently on your plan, it does not need to be a phone on your carrier. Just has to be a working smartphone that you'd buy from a carrier "postpaid" basically any phone you'd buy with a 2 year contract. I did this last year for the note 4. I trade in my parents old Verizon Samsung fascinate it was worth 15 then and I got 200. And I have AT&T
do you have to purchase a smart phone plan with this or can you just purchase the phone straight out with a trade in?

I'm buying my note 5 outright from bestbuy as well. The best buy employee said yes it can be outright to get the free 200 gift card

It only has to be worth something, go to bestbuys trade in page and look up any phone you have or wish to buy as trade in. As long as it's worth some sort of trade in value you'll get the full $200. It doesn't not need to be any phone currently on your plan, it does not need to be a phone on your carrier. Just has to be a working smartphone that you'd buy from a carrier "postpaid" basically any phone you'd buy with a 2 year contract. I did this last year for the note 4. I trade in my parents old Verizon Samsung fascinate it was worth 15 then and I got 200. And I have AT&T

I might go for t mobile note 5 if it has same deal.
I have been thinking I'm not interested in the Note 7...but ATT has a special: buy a Note 7 (preorder), get a Gear S2 and a Galaxy Tab E free (don'tknow what size of tab). Do a second one, and get 695 credit.
Makes it tempting.
getting the s gear 2 classic upgrade for 50 bucks and don't forget the 250 gig memory card you get also !

Its somewhat of a deal but they are going to charge you $10 a month for connecting the device, same with the tablet they are offering. So in the long run you are going to pay for whatever you decide to get.

Yup, Each device requires a service contract. Stupid deal IMO, even if you want the tablet/watch. You can buy for cheaper out-right from amazon or somewhere else. 10/m over 2 years is over $250 w/ all fees. You can still get the -real- free gift from Samsung.
remember that the $10 a month covers cell access not payment of the device. Yes you can get cheaper from Amazon but you still have to pay $10 for cell access, if you want a Gear S2 that can make cell calls.
If you go with att. Can you still get the Samsung promo?

Once you get your phone you go to the samsung web site and fill in the offer for the gearfit or card. I got the tablet and watch from at&t and I'm waiting on the phone. The watch and tablet use number sync so they look like you're calling on your phone.

I would have been tempted, but the gear s2, tab e, and 2nd galaxy phone all require new line activations, and 2/3 require a 2 year contract.
Yes. I did them all.
I upgraded my Note 5 to 7 (used an existing upgrade from my family plan)
- AT&T - got the Gear S2 watch free (it is a 4g phone as well, which is why it required the $10.00 per month charge)
- AT&T - got the free 8" Tab E tablet
- AT&T - got the $695 discount deal (for getting a new line) on a second Note 7 on flexpay (works out being about $7.00 per month)
- Samsung - Got the 256gb SDCard... in 12 weeks or however ridiculously long of a wait.
- Samsung - got the Gear Fit deal for the second phone...

Check your order status with Samsung. They are being VERY fast with shipping these things out. Quite a few people are already getting tracking numbers, and I have been approved and pending shipment. So you should crush the 12 weeks... (BTW it was 4-6 weeks for verification, then 12 additional weeks to deliver if you read the fine print. Had they done that, you are looking at 2017!)

i got the gear 2 its incredible deff pass up on that tablet
You can just pay the ETF of $150 after getting the GS2 and the Tab E (which is cheaper than buying either right out).
That is what I will probably do with my Gear S2 after a month or two to see if I really do need cellular or not.
That tablet was crap imo.

I didn't see one for Sprint so I figured I would start one. I ordered directly from Sprint. Got the black S8+. I was debating ordering from them or Best Buy but went for Sprint. Hoping I get it before April 21st.
I always go with best buy patiently waiting for the 21st

I ordered a black s8 yesterday from sprint telesales. I'm on the galaxy forever from sprint and apparently over the phone was the only way of processing my order because the system in store and online was trying to charge me the rest of the contract on my s7.

I was having the same exact thing! After multiple hours on the phone, online and in the store. Finally was elevated to retention department and they were able to fix the problem (I think they simply voided the lease). So frustrating since my wife's had no problem upgrading. Glad to hear (although unfortunate) that I wasn't the only one having this problem.
IS there not that many Sprint people around? Am I with the wrong carrier?
I'm around and getting ready to do the same thing (upgrade to the S8)

No samsung bought it for 1000 to get it off the market so I'm sending it back and paying off my s8+ that way I can upgrade to the note 8

Because I signed up to return it and never did. So they contacted me and offered me more. And sprint contacted them when I tried to upgrade to s8+ and my meid number didn't match my original note 7 so sprint couldn't do anything

So you just really got your refund on the note 7?
I pre-ordered from sprint.com
Can't wait! - S8 midnight black
I am selling my Pixel XL (128mb) when this comes in. WELL - I'll live with it a little bit and make the decision.
The Pixel XL is honestly really great. Just boring.
And I am excited to get to a "truly one handed" phone with a large screen (if infact the S8 can be that for me).
Does Sprint have any history of delivering early or anything?

I received my S7 Edge a little over a week early, so Im hoping for the same with this phone.

I'm with T-mobile, but over the weekend a Sprint rep tagged me down while I was walking by, he was arguing with me that 256GB micro SD card doesn't exist, because they were offering 128GB micro SD card lol
I pre-ordered in black, online at 1 am on the 30th. Hoping they ship early, but being on sprint and with a Samsung phone I doubt it.

Just wanted to share some of the information I put together while putting in two pre-orders for S8's today at a Best Buy Mobile store.
First off, I was informed by the Assistant Manager that helped me at Best Buy Mobile that the $50 "gift card" for the S8 and $100 "gift card" for the S8+ would lower the amount of the installments over the period of the 24 month installment plan (I assume the same for the lease option too).
For instance, if I go with the 24 month installments on the S8 ($50 deal), I would get $2.08 off for 24 months bringing the monthly price down from $31.25 to $29.17. If I got the S8+ ($100 deal), I would get $4.16 off for 24 months bringing the monthly price down from $35.42 to $31.26.
Now based on what I have read on other forums I am still left wondering if I am actually getting a gift card for the phone or if it will be applied like mentioned above.
In addition I called Sprint to ask about the special offer "Get a $10/mo. loyalty credit on lease or installment billing when you stay on your current plan." that shows on my account. I was informed that I would not be eligible to receive this credit if I got the phone from Best Buy and the only way would be to order it through Sprint or through "telesales". I feel like the person was lying to me and just trying to get a sale.
The Assistant Manager at Best Buy Mobile checked with her local rep who told her that I would get the $10 loyalty credit and that it doesn't matter where the phone comes from; if your plan is eligible the credit will hit your account within a few billing cycles. I asked about the waived $30 upgrade fee that Sprint is offering. The rep said I would not get that (which I'm OK with if everything else checks out).
Anyway, if all this works like I have been told by Best Buy, my two S8's I ordered will be $19.17 a month and if I would have got an S8+ it would come to $21.26 a month.
The question is what is true and what is not true?
Preordered from sprint.com the first day it was available. Getting a $10 a month loyalty credit, or $240 off over 2 years.
Moving from a S4.
I ordered mine from Sprint today. I normally would have used Best buy but they don't offer Galaxy forever.
I had the same problems ordering as others here. They tried to charge me for the rest of my lease from my S7.
Once I called they cancelled the rest of my lease to fix the problem.
At this point it seems Sprint has the best pre-order deal.
