So, I logged into my account to check on the HD7 pricing and it's there now. It shows 499 with a 50 dollar discount, bringing it to 449. I almost pulled the trigger, but I wanted to call and see if they could do something on the price. So, I did. And apparently, they don't have the listing in their system yet!?? Although, she did say she'd try and help out on reducing the price and would call me on Monday (the release day) to get it sorted out. My concern is on release day, I'm sure it's going to back ordered. Anyone else have any experiences to share?
Yes,I was able to order mine on Tmobile yesterday and got the email confirmation too with the estimated delivery date of 11/04( really hope so) and got a text message today that its being processed and will soon get a tracking number when it ships.

Maybe I should've just done it today then. I checked all day yesterday (so I thought) and didn't see it on there until around 0650 cst this morning. Now it's not on the site period. Maybe a few calls like mine and they realized they messed up. But, definitely let us know if they get it to you by the 4th. Or at least if I was you, I would call and complain if it didn't get there, no matter if they made a mistake or not.
I just logged into my T-Mobile account and looked up for HD7 upgrade. I am getting a price of $499. I am on Even more plus plan. So thats fair.
As far as the estimated shipping date is concerned, its showing up as 11/9. So I did not move any forward. I might as well pick it up on the 8th in the stores.

I came to the same conclusion.. I'd like to pick up the phone at the store.. and play with it a bit.. I'm still torn between this phone and the venue pro..
Yeah, I just logged in again and almost pulled the trigger. But, maybe you guys are right and I should wait until I get a chance to mess with it at the store. I'm pretty sure I'm going to buy it anyways and just keep my HD2 just in case I end up not liking it. Worst case scenario is you buy it, unlock it and sell it overseas for a profit anyways.
everytime i go to upgrade phone page it gives me an error !!
Sorry, please try again later.
Our systems are currently unavailable. We apologize for any inconvenience.
anyone else having this problem?
Nope, it shows just fine. Although, the phone isn't listed now. It did the same thing yesterday. It's there all day and then at night, it's gone. I'm still trying to hold out on just dropping the 450..500 after tax on it and see what Tmobile will try to shave off it for me at launch. But, trust me, I've just about put my card info in twice. And had it showed it be delivered before the 8th, or even on the 8th. I would've probably done it.
So I own my phone, no contract and I use TMO US service. If i go to the web site and sign in it wont let me buy the phone!...I mean how stupid is that..because I dont have a contract and I own my phone?...Every time I try to buy it it say Im not eligible for an upgrade even though Im not asking for an upgrade. Very frustrating, and bad business.
nevermind..
I also have no contract but I don't get that message about not being eligible for an upgrade.. it takes me to a list of devices I can buy..
Oddly enough, now it hasn't been up on the site all day. Here's something else to look for. If you just do a search for "hd 7" on the Tmobile site. The Samsung Galaxy Tab comes up with the HD7. It shows the button for upgrade, but you can't buy either one right now. But, it's an indication of it coming.
I guess they realised the mistake they made.I was able to order mine on 11/01 and the email confirmation said I will get it on the 11/04 but its showing in my order status that my phone will be delivered on the 8th.
Well i just got off the phone with TMO. They WONT let me buy the phone now because I dont have a two year contract. They told me I would have to wait till monday!..I told them how this was a terrible business practice..that they were turning down a 500 dollar sale and they basically said ...to bad.
Terrible way to run a business.

Sounds about like them. And come to see, they make many revealing mistakes. Like now if you search for the HD7 on the Tmobile website. It will pull that and a listing for the Samsung Galaxy Tab (no price though). You can hit upgrade, but unfortunately it won't take you to the order page like the HD7 did. Well, at least you'll actually get it on the 8th instead of it being shipped on the 8th.

Yeah, that is definitely terrible on their part. Who cares if you're on contract or not. It's a NO contract price that you're paying. I would definitely complain when you order it on Monday and at least get them to take off 50 bucks or something for the inconvenience. I mean you do pay for service every month just like everyone else.
I was able to get the order on 11/01 also. I talked to tmobile and they said that it was a glitch in the system. they said if you receive the wrong phone you can send it back. My card was charged $379 I even got a text message stating that it was being processed. so hopefully I get the phone on the 8th

$379? Wow. What did you pay for? Phone is $250 (before $50 rebate).
sorry I payed $329.99 for the first installment after that they charge $40 for 4 months. 329.99 + 160 $489.99

Oh you bought full price with installments. That makes more sense now. Haha.
went to go see the status of my order and it now says we are unable to retrieve the status of your order. Hope the phone is still being processed and hope my card is not charged if they removed my order. anyone else have this problem if you ordered it on 11/01?
I'm having the same problem: unable to retrieve status. And I have no tracking info when I try "track by reference" with my cell number on the UPS site.
16gb nexus 7 deal.
Buy this before it gets sold out because of £20 discount for new customers (looks like code seems to work for existing customers too as reported elsewhere) so probably everyone can get 20£ off till tesco rectify the mistake or £10 off for existing customers via tesco direct. Delivery free for collection at store or get it delivered home for a additional charge. price includes 20% VAT by the way.
see discount codes and useful videos for the nexus 7 (including cases, apps, reviews etc) on this youtube playlist for the nexus 7 which is regularly updated with new videos time permitting!
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL07BDA26279B1EAF6&feature=mh_lolz
buy from http://www.tesco.com/direct/asus-go...1.prd?skuId=478-1521?icid=homepage_supp_slot3 but dont forget the discount codes
Hope this gets some here the 20£ off before stocks run out. stock alert came this morning from tesco.
credit for discount codes goes to hotukdeals website but got alerted to tesco stock early today by email from tesco.
Personally verified £10 discount code, the new customers code for £20 needs to be verified by someone else as my wife said she would kill me if i bought another one using a new account for her.
Update: Use cash back websites like quidco and topcashback and you can get extra cash back on your tesco purchase. £20 codes seems to work. But just read elsewhere that the £20 code excludes technology products so risk is transaction might be cancelled by tesco or might stop working for new purchases. Guess few might be lucky till tesco amend their systems to exclude the code.
update 2: Topcashback 3% cashback
£20 discount for order over £150 using this code: TDX-Y7LM
Collect in store next day, so saving £10 delivery too compared to google play store.
179 clubcard points
Total saving £30 over play store (£20 voucher + £10 delivery) plus additional 3% cashback 179 clubcard points
Edit. Please note the codes seem to change often or sometimes don't work. See updated on YouTube playlist and further links and updates on that YouTube playlist.
Worked
Worked for me! Thanks very much :good:

20£ discount works even for existing customers

Dont forget the quidco or topcashback for going to tesco purchase as you get further cash back via these sites! Which makes this deal and even bigger deal.
Thanks for posting this!
update. looks like out of stock now at tesco due to the rush of buyers. but try the codes when it comes back in a few days as it most certainly will.
Cancelled
Well the order I placed earlier has been cancelled by Tesco :crying:
Presumably they didn't want to honour the £20 saving offer.
I had already cancelled my HMV order too
Just my luck. Guess I'll just wait for it to appear in my local Currys.
Edit: Thought I would quickly check Currys website and would you believe it was showing as in stock for home delivery and reservation!
Reserved one and rang them to confirm it wasn't a glitch and it is correct. Picking, mine up in the morning

I got my delivery confirmation email. Am collecting it tomorrow evening. Looks like from hukd forums there have been 700 confirmed orders and 300 or so orders without it being in stock due to some glitch in their system. Try again when stock comes back. Set up am email alert for stock on their website as i had done a week ago. They emailed me at 0530am today hence ordered before it went out of stock. Any deal that gets posted on hukd soon goes out of stock as many folow that website. Usually many websites crash with referral from hukd as too many buyers try to buy at once. Best of luck when it comes back in stock as it surely will since tesco is UKs biggest retailer
back in stock now, need to register new account to get the £20 code to work as it is already associated with the cancelled order yesterday, hope its not another **** up their end
I just ordered one from Tesco Direct using the £10 off any purchases over £50.
Collect it tomorrow!
They aren't honouring the £20 code any more, comes up with "excluding electricals", £10 off code still works though.
Just ordered myself after cancelling the HMV order.
£175 in total including next day delivery tomorrow, that's using the £10 off code and staff discount, well chuffed :good:
Ordered mine yesterday using £20 off.
Being delivered today at some point.
Whats the £10 off code? I can't for the life of me seem to find it? The £20 off one doesn't seem to work anymore.

Don't think i'm meant to have one of these! :crying:
Just had this from Tesco :
We're sorry, but we're unable to complete your Tesco Direct order #######.
We work hard to make sure we have no problems with our deliveries, but in this case,we got it wrong.
The total refund that will be processed for items affected is £ 174.6
We've already started your refund - it usually takes 3-5 business days for any payment to appear in your account.
So i ordered as it was showing in stock, they took payment straight away and then 3 hours later i get that, not at all happy!

The same thing happened to me! I hope that Google don't action my request to cancel my order now, otherwise I will be seriously annoyed at Tesco...
People who are going to the Sprint store to upgrade to the HTC One should know there is an issue with the system that is preventing the phone from being seen as discount available. They had to call the Sprint National Service Center to put in a manual discount on the account. I was told there were multiple people who tried and had the same problem.
The reason I am posting this is that you shouldn't expect it to be a 5-10 minute upgrade. It took over an hour for me. Loving the phone, so it was worth it.
I got mine without any serious issue. Anytime she tried to print off a receipt her computer would crash. They used another and all was well.
I had no issues.. they didnt get the $100 off instand but manager just over wrote it .... in and out in 15 min before work. Also if u mention that u get extra $50 invoice (currently online only) credit for buisness accounts... they might put that in too. I got that as well.

that credit towards the business account ?
Yes, basically a fam account under a tax id. But the discount should still apply to any account with any monthly discount associated with it, ie student. The credit goes towards ur next bill... its still something making my phone only $50 without htc trade in.
http://sprint.p.delivery.net/m/p/nxt/dev/wdyw.asp
Enter any email ending with edu... and it will give u a coupon code SAVE50.... add the phone to cart and print the cart without actually ordering and take it to the store and they should take care of it.
I do have a pdf when it shiwed the htc one for 99.. let me know if u need it.

It's $199.99 but if he's correct then you can get it with that extra $50 off at $149.99. There's no way to get an upgrade with the phone only costing $50 without the HTC Trade in. If so the Sprint store is only 1/4 mile from my work and Im heading over to buy mine and then Ill cancel it with Newegg.
I'm just looking for the cheapest price, though I don't want to wait an entire week so that's why I chose the Newegg method. Lucky enough for me, I dont have to pay the 36 activation fee. Thank you, Sprint business account.

the Save50 is what is being referred to it is a $50 credit applied to the account. But the $100 instant he is referring to and getting that as a transaction override instore is of even more significance if he managed to get the phone at $99 like a new customer rather than the $199 thru Sprint.com upgrade screw..
I got a new line.. ported in a number... so yes the phone is $50 before htc trade in and -$50 If I do the trade in.

ok new line
$450 instant saving? so the phone is only 99.99? not the 199.99? is it cheaper for business account?
Tried it but when I entered the promo code it said "The promotional code does not apply to any items in your shopping cart. Check the code and try again"
Any idea?
EDIT* Looks like it doesn't work for upgrades.
bummer, sprint sure treat loyal customers pretty well don't they
I went in to the Sprint store this morning to pick up my preorder and I would say I had a very pleasant experience. I dont know if this was the $50 discount spoke about earlier, but without saying anything, the phone rang up at $149. I am upgrading 3 months early, so I paid a $100 UpgradeNow fee. I traded in my Epic Touch 4G for $75 and had the $50 Sprint gift card that I had to buy to hold my preorder, so all in all, I paid $139 in store today. Not too shabby for being impatient and wanting to get rid of my Samsung as quick as possible.
Also, she got my gmail address because she said they were going to send me a $25 Google Play Store card. Nice little bonus :good:
I went to a Sprint store earlier this morning. They had no dummy phones to look at, they had no phones to sell, and they also had no idea that the phone was even released today. (I'm guessing it wasn't a corporate store, but you wouldn't know from looking at it (it's just south of Houston, TX.).
I told them "Well, I know Best Buy has them; I just didn't want to drive all the way over there...".
He said "Well, I'm sure they DON'T, otherwise we would at least have a shipment scheduled or something."
20 minutes later, I was doing the paperwork at BB, with my slick new One in my hands...(It was 199+ tax on a line that was eligible for an upgrade.).
How do these so-called "Sprint" stores even manage to get any business if they literally have no idea of a device's existence on a release day?
Anyway, I'm happy as a clam with my white one, FWIW.
I have and probably will keep my Note 2, just to have, and to mess around with different Roms, and also for its screen size, but this One will definitely be my daily driver. The difference in the builds/the quality of the devices is like night and day.

You guys don't even want to hear my story. So I pre ordered from Lets Talk like some of you may have. I get the notification that it won't be here till sometime next week, so I'm like "OK I'll cancel it" as my local store had some in stock. Cancelled it. Went in this morning to a store right when the doors open. They pull up my account and say there's no upgrade for me. So I end up calling Lets Talk to verify if my order had been cancelled. Lets just say that I've been calling Lets Talk and Sprint from 9am-1pm trying to figure out wtf was going on. I finally decide to call Lets Talk one more time. The rep I spoke to said that the order was cancelled when the item was in activation and picking, so they had to manually deactivate the device. Around 130pm when I'm about to leave I receive a call back from Lets Talk saying the upgrade has been reset. Just to make sure I called Sprint customer service and the local Sprint store just to double check that the upgrade was there. Indeed it was so I rushed to pick it up as I had to be at work at 220pm. Got my phone opened it at work and that's my CRAZY CRAZY story. I hope none of you guys had to go through any of that.

wtf? my upgrade is July 1 and I was told I have to pay $175 to upgrade now.............how did you manage this? who did you talk to?
I pre-ordered at my local BB at 10am on the 27th. Went into the store this morning despite not receiving an email to check on it. They informed me that all of the AT&T shipments were late compared to the other carriers and that they had no stock of the 64's yet. I called the three closest AT&T stores around me and the answer was the same -- 32 are in stock, but nobody has any 64.
Anybody else have a similar experience? Has anyone been able to pick up their 64 today?
I plan on doing this in a hour. Pacific time .
If they don't have my 64GB white for ATT that I preordered 3-31, I'll go to the ATT which is in the same parking lot lol.
If ATT doesn't have it, I'll just have to opt for a 128GB of that's available. If neither are available I'll settle for a 32GB....
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using XDA Free mobile app
Nobody had the 128s where I checked as well, but phone shipments certainly aren't equally distributed. If you live in a more suburban area than I do you're likely to have better luck.
Checked all the ATT in the area and none have the 64GB edge , but they do have the regular S6 in 64. Going to opt for the regular most likely...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using XDA Free mobile app
oh boy I sense ATT getting heat if all the Platinum/Gold Pre-Orders that were said to be shipped out around the 24th which are now being shipped recieve there Edge before all the black ones who were promiced by the 10th. Kind of glad I ordered the platinum Gold one.
I can add to the BS.
Aside from the shipment being late at my BB, their system couldn't do my trade-in/up on my old iPhone, it wouldn't accept the SKU. So eventually they call up AT&T, no go. I call AT&T and they proceed to tell me that Best Buy does not have the capability to do a trade-in.
That's right, AT&T claimed that Best Buy cannot do a @#$% trade-in.
So I fought with them some more, and they had me do the pay-up over the phone with them. Still, the sale wouldn't work. They call AT&T again, AT&T says "oh if you do trade-in it can take 24 hours for it to process".
Because, you know, NO ONE ever walks into a store to trade-in their phone and walk out with a new one.
Sensing some BS, I call them again. They then proceed to tell ME that, oh no, the payment processed just fine, it's that BEST BUY has a bad system but hey if you place your order with me and give me the sale I can do it right now and put it in the mail for ya this afternoon. No thanks, I just had Jason here struggle for about 95 minutes trying to make this order happen, I'm not letting you guys just throttle BB's ability to make sales just because you want to force people to buy directly through you.
It was really insane. AT&T seemed to just REFUSE to let Best Buy sell me the phone, their story repeatedly changed as to why it wasn't working, but I don't think they realized I was standing there with the sales reps and had actually seen other people do trade-ins. I eventually got it, but MAN it was a fight.
Wow. All for the commision.

I placed my pre-order on the 3rd of April, BB.com, and I received it in store on the 10th, AT&T black sapphire 64GB and got the free wireless charger pad.
No 64GB Edge models in SLC yet
Same issue here in Salt Lake City. I was told I was the first to pre-order the white Edge 64GB AT&T version. I also ordered a standard S6 32GB in black. I got the notification Friday morning on the black one, but nothing on mine. I waited until 4pm and then just went to the store. After waiting an hour to be helped, I was told I could not leave with the black one unactivated (it's for my nephew out of state and is a surprise graduation gift), and that no 64GB white Edge phones arrived at all. They had no idea when they might get them. So I left empty handed and extremely annoyed, even though the BB staff was apologetic and offered to hold the wireless charging pad for my nephew's phone even though I theoretically wouldn't pick it up for two months.
I checked a few AT&T stores, but they didn't get any 64GB Edge models at all either. I was told only those who preordered directly through AT&T online and had their phones shipped to them got the 64GB version, at least in my area. The AT&T stores could also not tell me when they might be in stock, but suggested I order online and could get one in as little as one business day. I do see they are shipping and just had a live chat with an AT&T rep online who told me white 64GB Edge models were ready to ship to customers.
I still haven't gotten any communication from Best Buy on my phone - not even the "sorry for the delay" email some are reporting. And yes, I've checked spam. I think I'll be ordering from AT&T online tonight.
Gave up - AT&T order coming tomorrow
I gave up on Best Buy and ordered my 64GB white Edge from AT&T online today with expedited shipping. Just got the notification that it's being delivered tomorrow!

I gave up on my Bestbuy preorder also. I preordered a white 64GB S6. Got an email on the 10th about a delay. I cancelled yesterday and ordered the 64GB Platinum / Gold S6 Edge from AT&T.
Ordered my 64GB Gold Platinum Edge yesterday, order status says it's "Preparing for shipment". I have the same 4/24-4/27 estimated ship date as well but the guy who helped me at my AT&T store said it'd be delivered in 3-5 Days. I've heard people getting theirs way sooner than the estimated ship date and I'm wondering if that's just applying to a certain model, or all of them.

Very good device, i love it
Well that sucks, must be in bigger cities? I walked into a Best Buy just to look at one on 4/12 thinking I wasn't eligible for a few more weeks, ended up walking out with a 'black' 64gb edge. But it had problems, had a bunch of what looked like waves on the underside of the glass (mfg defect?). Went back in last Thursday and swapped for another one in stock (no issues).
We bought a white and black 64gb edge. My wife's black one had a bubble under the LCD. While I was having mine wrapped at Clear Coat we noticed it. We took it back to the store and had it swapped out only to see a line of waves under the screen. They wouldn't swap it for another one abs told us we had to contact Samsung directly .
I just pre-ordered my Sprint Note 8 online at bestbuy.com a couple days ago. Says I will receive it by the 15th. Has anyone received theirs yet? I got the email confirmation of my order but when I login my account on best buy to check order status, I get this error message. The money has already been deducted out of my bank account. Anyone else experiencing this? Just want to make sure my order went through.
I just checked. Mine (VZW) are still sitting in preordered status. I wonder if I'll see them on the 15th, or after. My experience with BB orders is that they rarely come when the order page says that they will.
My credit card has not been charged yet.

Yeah not sure. Last time I pre-ordered was my s8 plus thru sprint best buy but it was for store pickup, not actual shipping and it was ready for pickup on the release date, not any sooner.
I wonder why VZW was allowed to ship over 2 weeks early. I cancelled my BB order because VZW told me I would not get the 480 for my S7 Edge if I bought from Best Buy. Best buy said I would but once a VZW order was received I pre ordered from VZW last Tuesday and I had the phone on Weds. It sucked that I missed out on the 150 off but I'd be flaming mad if I could not get my 480 bill credit. My bet is anyone who ordered from Best Buy will get their trade in as t says it right on the BB page. Make sure you take screen shots in case you have an issue later.

Yea. I have no idea why in-store pickup wasn't a choice this time around.
I received mine last Thursday or Friday, a week ahead of the official Sept. 15th launch. I purchased the unlocked version.
I pre-ordered mine on Saturday online from bb and was having second thoughts because Verizon had told me I was not going to get the 480 if I did my deal with bb. So I ordered it anyways and logged on to my Verizon the note 8 was on my account already and was able to do the promo with the trade in. 12.75 a month for a note 8 is one hell of a deal. And I got me email saying I'll get it on the 15. Hope sooner
I actually just got a email that mine has shipped. Got tracking info for UPS. Should be here in the next couple days. Excited!!!!

I ordered from BB. Received it on the 6th. I tried to trade in my s7 edge online, but the page was experiencing problems. I chatted online and they said I could go in store. So today, that's what I did. The rep said they couldn't give me the promotional price, that I would have to go to best buy, I asked him to ask a manager. Same thing. So, At BB, they tried logging in on the same page I did, same problem. The BB manager called the district manager for Verizon (their buddies) and she said, I Will receive the promotional trade in. She said they should've done it at the corporate store. I told her what they had told me, and she told me she would be there at that store at 630 tonight, and for me to come in and she will personally take care of it! She said we have 14 days from the purchase date to decide if we want to trade in. I will be going there in like 30 minutes. So, I will report back with my findings! Until then...

Unreal. They need to have a quick online "class" for all corporate Verizon employees so they know the deal. It's a deal struck between best buy and Verizon - this shouldn't be such a hassle for customers. Luckily, the dude at my corporate store already told me I could walk in and give it to them and they'd apply the discount.
All you should need to do is activate it then log into your carrier site. Once the system sees you have a Note 8, the discount should show when you go to the trade in section. At least that is how it worked on Verizon site. Before I activated my Note 8 it said my S7 Edge was worth 175. Once I activated the Note 8 and did their trade in it showed the 480 bill credit option. Just make sure you don't click you want cash. You'll only get the crappy value.
Got mine
I ordered online on the 9/6. I got it on 9/8. The only problem I had was I couldn't activate it because the SIM card number printed on the box was different than the one in the Note 8. After 2 calls to Verizon and 1 call to BB, I was finally able to activate after giving Verizon the correct SIM number. BB screwed up causing me to spend over an hour activating the Note 8. My advice is to check the SIM card in the Note 8 with what is printed on the box if you have problems activating. Otherwise, I'm enjoying the Note 8. But, I'll probably not uss BB again to buy a phone.
Ordered on 24th and received my unlocked Note 8 today.
Ok, Here's my report: The lady I was supposed to be meeting, had an emergency and couldn't show up. She called the store manager and told him what to do. Basically, all they have to do is go into your account and TRY! If the device was on your account, on the line that your note 8 is now on, it will work! If they say it won't, ask them to try anyways and see the trade in value. It will show the "normal" trade in value and underneath is a checkbox labeled - Promotion. Click and then they inspect the phone, blah, blah, blah. $306 for a note 8, 12.75 a month for 24 months.
A side note, the credit is actually $20 off a month for 24 months. I asked about paying off the balance for a future upgrade, he said he wasn't sure how that would work, but thinks you would have to pay the actual current balance and the $20 off a month would roll over to the next phone. However, he was unsure so take that with a grain of salt.

I ordered the N8 through BB and here is how it went:
9/5 - received text that my order has shipped
9/6 - received phone and text from VZW that my port was complete, called and tried to get phone activated but no go
9/7 - called to tried to get it activated again, got hung up on several times, they told me it wouldn't work until the 8th at noon
9/8 - noon came at went and no-go, called VZW, BB, Straight Talk and was told that it wasn't going to be live until 9/10, went to BB and VZW store and same thing except BB was very rude and unhelpful. Took to twitter @VZWSupport and @bestbuySupport and within 15 minutes my phone was working. Coincidence?
I love the phone. I installed Bk Disabler and removed the bloat. Tether is now working. I'm hoping someone has a way to disable knox and OTA.
Edit FOUND how to disable OTA in developer options.
Thanks.
Looks like my phone got delivered today. Can't wait to get home to check it out and get it activated. Will it come with a new SIM card or can I use the one from my s8+?

Unlocked has no sim card. Carrier supplied ones typically do.
Just take the SIM from your s8+ and toss it in the Note8. That's what I did.
Mine is unlocked and I'm on Verizon so after putting in the SIM the phone had to be rebooted and it sat at a funny looking "configuring" screen for about two minutes, then rebooted and it was ready for service immediately. There's no wifi calling option on unlocked but I'm not in a hurry to get it anyways. Not having all that Verizon crap is worth losing ho-hum features IMHO.
ofd now if ups would just get here. like watching grass grow...
