Best Buy AT&T arrival date.

I pre-ordered my note 3 from Best Buy, and originally they had an arrival date of october 1st. Today on the website, that date has changed to September 27th.
I'm honestly hoping Best Buy might be accidentally showing an early shipping/arrival date!
Thoughts?

i see. that is odd. nothing for verizon. hoping they are moving it up too!!

Bwahahahaha.

That could also mean AT&T's shipping their pre-orders earlier than the 10/1 date stated. BB is just an agent for the various wireless carriers and serves at their pleasure. I'd find it odd AT&T would allow a third-party to sell a highly anticipated new device before they themselves offered it. The carriers and third-party resellers are frenemies; all the carriers pay them handsome commissions upfront on the value of the two-year deal (device and voice/data plan) and would always rather avoid that pay-out by doing as many customer-direct deals as possible. I've followed BB's pre-order handling of some in-demand devices and it's been a cluster-f because what's in their system doesn't necessarily reflect what's actually happening. We'll know soon enough and best of luck to all no matter what channel they’re ordering from.

Just checked my AT&T preorder and it still says 10/1-10/2:crying:

guys we have it in stock already in our store , we had 5 for att , I also heard that verizon will be on the 30th of oct!!!

Really?

Seriously? I have yet to hear anything from the best buy in Florence KY.
And now it's to late to call.
I need to accept I won't have it till Friday.

stock is going fast on att note 3s where i work, and note 3 is launching on the 10th for verizon.

Ordered mine on 9/4 I think and it arrived on my door yesterday (10/3) sometime between 2:30 & 3pm. FedEx didn't even ring the bell, but my son told me I had a package as he came thru the front door from school. :sly:

[Q] Ordering Turbo from Amazon

Anyone here order the Droid Turbo from Amazon but are stuck on waiting list until Amazon gets more stock? I had to order it from Amazon because no other 3rd party retailer is selling it around me. Also has anyone dealt with returns/exchange on cellphones before with Amazon?
PS: I bought it full pop so my plan does not get messed with

You bought it for $990?!!!
EDIT: Nevermind, I see they have it via vzw full retail now. Didn't notice they had that up as I haven't checked Amazon in a while for the turbo
EDIT 2: I actually went and ordered it but simultaneously waiting for the GSM model, so if the GSM model gets announced then I can always cancel or return

Hahaha there is no way I would drop that amount on a phone!!

Amazon described "Phone is locked to the Verizon Wireless network and not factory unlocked"
So can I use the Motorola Droid Turbo on Other Carriers?:crying:

I just got mine and found a verizon sim pre-installed and when I called to activate it they told me I needed a new sim to activate it. That might have something to do with it not coming unlocked from Amazon but I don't have a spare Nano sim from a different carrier to try and check for you. I would try calling Motorola support and ask

Nice, when do you order yours? I ordered mine last Thursday and still no word on shipping. It's definitely going to have a vzw sim in it, the inventory is from vzw. It is unlocked since it's vzw has to have the GSM radios unlocked. I have friends with vzw and have nano sim and can get a T-Mobile. If I had mine I'd be able to find a solution for you. =/

No it did not show any stock until saturday. Maybe you should try calling Amazon and make sure there was no error on your order?

I called them a few nights ago, but I'll call them again since you just got yours. You ordered on the 12th?
Edit: called, no ETA, or any word of inbound inventory

I've tried, twice, both resulted in you'll get contacted. Which is pretty absurd, they have no idea when it'll be available and the stores nearby do have them in stock... So I'm just annoyed by it all at this point.

Unless they are giving you something for free because of the delay why don't you just cancel and pick it up at one of those stores?

Note 8 to Note 9 Samsung Upgrade Programme UK

Went to:
https://shop.samsung.com/uk/multistore/ukupgradechannel/ukupgradelounge/registration
Entered my Note 8 Loan Agreement Number and Surname, and the only option it gave me was the option for the 128GB model, showing an incorrect Cash price of £869, should be £899 for 128GB Model. It doesn't give me the option for the 512GB/8GB Ram model either. (See Attachment)
Anyone else experiencing the same problem? I didn't get an email to upgrade either, maybe I'm rushing and should wait a little longer as it was just announced.

Try again, I can see two 512GB models as well as all three in 128GB.

You're right, thanks. Nothing to indicate whether these are dual SIM or not.

Can you upgrade before the first 12 months?
Mine says I can upgrade from October
Thanks

Anyone managed to get the Samsung Mobile Care after entering loan agreement and surname?
Samsung have cancelled my order twice after each time telling me that it can only be added when placing the order.
Currently it only seems new customers or new Upgrade Program contracts can get Mobile Care with the existing eligible Note 8 users missing out.

Check the terms and conditions buddy. Im sure ive read that the Knox warranty must be valid to return the phone otherwise they will charge you a fee.

What's the crack with mobile care? Only shows 2 years available for £120. Surely a bit pointless on the yearly upgrade plan. Or am I missing something.

As it is forms part of the credit agreement with Close Brothers, this gets added to the monthly payment plan.
When the new device is released a year later and you wish to upgrade, Close Brothers cancel your remaining year including Mobile Care. You then sign up for a new 2 year contract and add Mobile Care to start the process again.
So in theory you only pay for 1 year of Mobile Care for that particular device as the 2nd year is cancelled once upgraded.
That's how it's always worked for me the last 3 years.

Ah, makes sense. Never bought it before as have insurance through my bank.
Cheers.

Does it even make sense?
Considering you buy into a new plan starting from scratch on the condition you send your handset back after having paid half means you are selling your handset back to Samsung or Close bros for half the price maybe even a bit less considering the depo. I Think I'm better off selling it myself, especially if the condition is pristine. Why would I do that? When nothing is stopping me from buying into a new note9 plan anyway if I want.

Value to buy out of the plan ( what was given for the Note 8 ) was £425.

I did the same. Everything I've read for the 3a release says that the unlocked ones from Best Buy were also able to be bootloader unlocked.
Makes no sense for Google to treat this release any different, but Google does plenty of things that don't make sense. So I'm still hoping there's some logic here.

Did you hear anything on your pre-order yet? Mine shows on the website "Pickup available on Release Date: Thu, October 24." but an email I just got shows "We were just informed that the fulfillment date for the item listed below has been updated to Friday, November 08, 2019.
You don't need to take any action at this time. We'll keep you posted if anything else changes, and we'll let you know as soon as it's ready.

Hopefully it is wrong , what I suggest is contacting the Best buy customer service , mention the email and see if it's the matter of switching colors if they're short on the white one if you're open to that. I know that the phones are in stores now but they cannot release them till tomorrow

I feel for you but you're all over the boards and it's confusing to some. Edit your post please and let everyone know that Google sent you a Verizon locked version. They sell 3 versions and have for some time. The fi and unlocked ones are bl unlockable but the Verizon one is not.

Are you guys really surprised your pre-order dates have been pushed out. This happens every year all the way back to the Nexus 6p

I posted this in another thread. It might help some people out.
My IMEI starts with 35 (Apparently this means it is a Verizon model, but I really don't know if that's true). I turned on phone, skipped all the setup, and went directly to see if I could unlock it. It was greyed out. I then activated it in Google Fi and the option cleared up, I enabled it and unlocked bootloader via fastboot. Hope this helps some people out there.

I've tried the Shop Samsung and Members app and can't find anything.

Verizon gave me a $600.00 trade in on my 3 year old LG V30.

I just checked the samsung members app and there was a banner to register and get a free tag and 200 credit. So thanks for making me check. Im on tmo in the us fyi.
