Yep pre-ordered this morning online. Ship date was 19-21 Apr.

I have indeed, Midnight Black. I got told over the phone while making the order that it would arrive on the 29th but on the website it states the 20th for pre-orders. Hope it's the latter! I'm getting it from my network on contract this time though, not buying from Samsung directly.

Yep, preordered mine. Midnight Black. Didn't get any info about the VR though, does that come later?

Vr does not ship with phone. You submit a scan of the receipt and upload it to samsung promo site and then it ships direct from them in 4 weeks or so. Same as it was for S7

Ordered mine last night at 12:06am. Midnight Black S8+. Going to be sexy as hell. Ship date of 4/20-21. Also getting the VR bundle as promo for preorder. Considering paying the extra $99 for the AKG over the ear headphones + 256gb sd card.

The ones from Samsung supposedly arrive on the 20th and they include the promotional items. No filling out forms or wating for them to process and ship it separately.

Mine was a complete rigmarole. When I moved from the V10 to the V20 because the V10 just stopped working, they took away my Jump and then when I wanted to upgrade to the S8+ I was told I'd have to pay full price.

Next breath, the rep said, "If only you had Jump..." I lost it on her and told her I was told I couldn't keep jump. Very long silence, and she comes back with, not sure why you were told that, maybe we can put it back. An hour late, and a supervisor re-established Jump and I was able to upgrade to the S8+. Very weird they are stripping people of their Jump when it wasn't sunsetted at all.

I'm using the 200G card they gave away with the V10.

Preordered through Best Buy! Midnight black.

I have been out of the game awhile, is it likely we'll see root on the GS8/GS8+?
(As long as we act quickly once the exploits are out, I know they get patched ASAP)

Forgot to mention I ordered midnite black as well. Sexiest one. I almost got the grey one though.

Preordered a midnight black from Vodafone Australia, but Australia will release on 28th...... need to wait another week..... sad

Are they not unlocked from Samsung in US then? They are from the UK.
I've ordered from Samsung directly this time as CPW ballsed up the note 7 recall so I'd rather go direct. I'm not sure that will result in better service but hey ho.

 

[Sliderse]

just ordered mine in Sweden.. We don't seem to get anything extra with it.. No offers for early ordering at all. which sucks.. Got the Arctic Silver, delivery expected on the 20th April.

Just pre ordered mine last night. Says it should arrive the 21st

how do you know the samsung uk direct is unlocked, unlocked bootloader or unlocked for simcards?

they aren't sold in conjunction with partners/deals. All phones I've bought from Sammy UK have been unlocked. As are sim free phones from CarPhoneWarehouse.

Preordered a midnight black AT&T S8+ from best buy the night of the 30th. A $100 savings was too good to pass up. Anybody with experience on best buy phone preorders? Is it likely to arrive by the 21st? Or earlier?
