The Zeiss VR One is just a fancier Google Cardboard version and has nothing to do with the quality of the Gear VR.

patiently waiting

Getting tired of waiting. I've had the money saved for it for a couple of weeks already. Getting tempted to just spend it on something else. There's been 0 word on the device and we're hitting the 2nd week of December.

Sounds like the guy was just pulling things out his butt. There's no indication of the exact date it will be coming out. Remember he's just a regular Samsung employee, anything he'd know would be on the internet by now.

Jesus I cant waiiiiiit! I hope you are right about the 13th, I can't wait to watch por.....I meant experience the VR future .

Samsung gear vr available at at&t!

Actually I just ordered one today at my local AT&T store. Now if you go to the AT&T website it says nothing about it. I called my local AT&T store and they had no clue but I provided the SQU# from the included pic I found while googling and it came up in there system. I had to pay in person but they let me purchase it today about 2 and a half hours ago. It did not say out of stock or anything about it being a pre-order. Hopefully this is the real deal. I have my receipt in case it changes. Hope this helps guys!

Just ordered mine as well. Seems there's going to be a lot of demand, hope they do in fact get the orders out right away! Can wait to check it out!!!

No tracking on mine yet.

I ordered the headset and the gamepad from Samsung. If you expand the features lists it gives you coupon codes for the gamepad and the circle.

Galaxy Gear 25% off at T-Mobile

Discovered a coupon could be used here:

Only works for the ones in stock so for now it'll only work with the Oatmeal Beige version.
Coupon works on all accessories and the Gear is considered an accessory.
25% coupon code: FALLFUN25
I'm not going to buy it since I'm content with the Pebble, but for those of you that are curious, you can get it cheaper.
Great find not the color I want though.
Codes works on black to.

Did Samsung not make enough Gears?

I placed an order on 10-4 with T-Mobile.com and it's on backorder. I noticed that a lot of places are sold out. Did Samsung not make enough because of unknown demand?
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk 4
Not sure if they made enough or not but there are some at various stores around where I live. Also T-mobile is supposedly backordered quite heavily due to the massive mistake they made in including the gear in their 30% off accessories coupon. Great promotion for the consumer but no one knows when all of those orders will be fulfilled.

Yup, they definitely didn't make enough.. I almost did not get my phone upon release cuz all the gear was gone. They said that they can't sell the phone without the gear?? But lucky enough they had one left, the one they were showing to all potential customers lol.

From what I can tell, Telstra is the only one with it. A few places I went to didn't even know what I was talking about!
According to ebay, there are a few in other capital cities. And I may have just impulse bought one......oops

yeah still no gear here, major bummer wanted to see at least a demo unit
My Best Buy still has like 10-15 of them in stock in Various Colors. I got my manager to price match the T-Mobile price last week for 2 of them (one was for resale and one for me). I guess I got lucky on that. But they are to be found. Any if you want to play with one, any best buy with a Samsung store should have a live demo of a Gear there.
Here in Denver I had to drive all the way across town to get my jet black Gear. Most Best Buys are sold out.
I'm glad I purchased it. The features are awesome.

I just want to at least order already... Yesterday I was getting a message about my cart being empty and I called and the rep stated it was because it's not actually in the system. Well today I got an email from BB, asking for me to finish my order. Well now I get to the final page where I send in my info to the carrier. All I get now is the following message:
"We're sorry, there was a problem with your request. Please contact your carrier directly for assistance."
I then call Sprint, let them know exactly whats going on, and I'm going through BB because they have an exclusive on Amber Gold. They check my account for issues and say everything is good and there is no errors on there end. BB doesn't seem to know why and keeps sending me to Sprint.
I just want to get the thing in Amber Gold before April 10th.
My cart would clear out if I didn't checkout as a guest. As for the last screen I was getting an error about the order being complete but it was due to me typing in a piece of the account info wrong.

unfortunately, no. they treat it as a pre-order and don't handle pre-order over the phone, stores don't have it in there systems as an option, and yeah, stuck with this problem online. :///
btw, appreciate your feedback.
I ordered a gold one from BB. Also had errors when logged into my account. Had to checkout as guest and it went through just fine. Did get order confirmation on the 25th but no shipping info or updates yet. Had a friend get his today already. That one was ordered directly from Sprint I just wanted the gold one. I hope it ships soon. Sprint usually will get them to me next day air or 2 day. BB will have to see.

Netflix Promo DOES stack

Hey all!
Just a quick tip, if you got in on the free 1 year of Netflix from Samsung earlier in the year with the Note 4 this new promo WILL stack ontop of it
Ive got almost $200 in credit on my Netflix account right now. Who says swapping phones like underwear doesnt pay off

Its limited to 92k redemptions. I would assume you dont have a whole lot of time let to get in on it. You have to have the device in hand to redeem it since it requires info off the phone itself.
This is great news! Ordered one for both myself and the wife...2 years of netflix!
