Anyone that was at the 'global' launch received their £250 worth of vouchers from Samsung yet?
I'm not sure if I was in the top 100 people but I was queueing up at about 07:50 and I put my name and email on a list so I'm just wondering if anyone has received them yet?

If you came at 7:50 then I was probably a few places in front of you in the line, but no I haven't got any emails about it either.

I was the guy looking thoroughly cheesed off about the fact the there was only one shop in the country that was supplying them on launch day. I noticed the media team with the camera steered well clear of me instead asking questions to 'the only girl in the queue'
I remember when I bought Sammy gtab 10.1 on the release day in London something was as well. Sammy offered cover and keyboard to first 100 ppl, it took about a month. I'm guessing that it's due to 27days return policy. they didn't want to give free stuff and people would return gtab and sell the freebies...

Yeah, that's what they said to me and seven days would probably mean business days so we're looking to the start of next week
I was just wondering if they were being proactive and sending them out when they said they would rather than leaving it for weeks and weeks
I was close to the front and nothing. I expect it will take around three weeks.
I was 3rd in the Queue but still nothing, i remember one of the Sammy Reps saying it would take "A Few Weeks"
Also I seem to remember that they said the voucher will be redeemed with Samsung's own Android store, not the market. Since I don't think Samsung has put up an ICS version of their store app yet it will probably be a while till we get it.

So do we know what exactly we get? I got some vague description of apps and films and stuff. Was more interested in the cashback offer at the time tbh
I was told by 2 of the Phones4U sales team that we would get £250 vouchers for Android content and £100 extra vouchers from phones4U.
I have contacted Phones4U twice now (as they didn't get back to me the first time) they said it would be coming from Samsung and they would email us a code after 20 days.
The cameras were for Google internal. Nothing special.

I was in the queue early morning behind a guy who already had one! I got in, given and handset and then got denied a contract on Orange!
At least I got the T-Shirt
I came back at about 6 and there were still 2 name slots on the list, managed to get my upgrade with Vodafone so that was one less hassle!
So I got the 250 vouchers and the 100 return (still waiting for these), Phones4U didn't want to write this offer on my contract though...
Also got a mug too!
Not really sure how to spend 250 on apps and videos?!?
I got £200 vouchers from Samsung when I registered my Galaxy Tab and it broke down like this:
15 new release films from Samsung Movies (or more if I chose cheaper ones), movies are £12
5 Gameloft games
50 mp3's from emusic
£25 WHSmith ebook voucher

They told me it was for the Android market. But I might have get them wrong, it was very hectic.
the p4u guy also told the vouchers/credits were coming from Samsung in the next 7 days but didn't give me anyway of proving that i would be getting it. Basically i was supposed to have faith that Samsung was going to miraculously know to contact me.

I didnt get a mug! Just Tshirt and stickers.
Was really hoping it would be for the android market. I was wondering if they could be used to buy comics through the marvel app, or when the music store comes out.

Yeah I used to work for Phones4U so I dont trust them at all!
I took a picture of my email on the piece of paper incase of loss or amnesia by the staff.

I bought mine one year ago, and I still see local stores, that sell it, some even didn't drop the price since than, I don't get it? where the hell the get them? or any other old Galaxy like I9000 or I9100?
Most of the ones available around me are remanufactured. There are a few scattered on eBay for BIG $ which is ridiculous. The phone is great though.

Hello there,
Giving that Nexus 4 has been out for a while and that Nexus 5 is just under the horizon, my opinion is that there are no new Galaxy Nexus'es made. That's just why prices of the SH ones are rising.
Just my two cents...
Looks like the second gen will officially be smaller with a different aspect ratio.
http://www.ibtimes.com/check-out-leaked-samsung-galaxy-tab-s2-cases-1945993
I've been needing to get a tablet and want the current gen tab s but don't want to see that I could have been 100$ richer by waiting a week. Alternatively I haven't talked to anyone who is happy with Samsungs continued Apple emulations.... Does the collective wisdom here think we'll see an instant price drop for the current gen or do you think merchants will try to wait out the change?

I think it most definitely will. The tablet has already been featured in some sales that put the price at around $270 I think. That's a steal considering how good the tablet is
Two weeks ago I paid $270 for my S 8.4. I'm sure it'll hit $230-250 by the end of the summer. August and September are back-to-school shopping months, so manufacturers like to release the newest computer/laptop and tablets then. Which means clearance of last year's model in the weeks/months before.
I'm waiting for the S2 to come out too..
I'm waiting to buy Tab S 8.4 LTE version when price is cut off.
I bought a Tab S 10.5 a month ago because of the change in aspect ratio. At that time there was a sale on for $70 off MSRP so I grabbed it. My suggestion would be to decide on a discount number and regularly check local prices for discounts. The sale was at Staples Canada and ended April 12th. You could use one of those computer best price checking web sites relevant for your country.

I too have been waiting, seeing the Tab S priced at $100 under "MSRP" all over the place (meaning it was $299 or even less), but hoping with my greedy heart that it would come down even further after the S2 was announced.
Image my surprise when a 2 days after the S2 announcement I couldn't find a single seller offering the Tab S for under $350, and most had jacked the price back up to retail.
Even now the "official" Samsung listing for the Tab S on Amazon is $379! WTF?
Anybody else find Amazons search a waste of space, as it gives you the wrong results, even when it gets it right, you cannot arrange from low to high like every other shopping site.
Is this just me.

AT&T has a promo running where you can pre-order a Gear S3 for $49 when purchased with a Samsung phone. I went from Note7 to S7 Edge on October 16th. I had already pre-ordered the Gear S3 at $249 but thought what the hell, why not call AT&T to see if they'd throw me a bone. The CSR asked me for my AT&T store receipt number from the exchange and got a supervisors approval to give me the $49 price. They had me cancel my online pre-order and put notes in my account for me to go in to a store today and get a new pre-order processed at $49. I did and they did and its supposed to ship November 18th.
The whole Note7 launch and cancel has been a debacle but I've been handsomely rewarded. I got a 256GB SD card with my first Note7, a Gear VR with the second, and now a Gear S3 for $49. That's on top of almost $100 in Samsung Pay first use credits for initializing it on 3 different phones. I also got my $100 credit for sticking with Samsung last week on my AT&T bill.
I'd imagine the Gear S3 thing is a YMMV and I'd suggest charm and gaining sympathy for what, as a Note7 owner, you've been through rather than brute force. Good luck.
I also noticed that at&t has the coral blue S7edge for sale

I am planning to get the z fold 3. Should I get it now or wait until Prime Day? Currently Samsung is offering it for $1156(with trade in of my cracked s10+ and first responders discount) along with $250 Samsung credit to buy accessories. During Memorial Day it was a free galaxy watch 4 but they recently changed to the credit. Also do you recommend getting the s pen with it? Thanks
I'd suggest waiting. The Fold 4 is close, and even if you don't get it, there should be good deals on eBay for the 3. You can also get a 3 renewed from Amazon for $900. With a no hassle return policy, it's not a bad option. I did that for the Fold 2, and it worked out great.
Unless you really need the pen (i.e., you regularly sign docs) I wouldn't get the stylus simply because you can't store it with the device.
Thank you
If you can wait, then I would wait for the Z Fold 4. I couldn't wait as my Note 8 and 9 started developing issues. So I got the Z Fold 3, which I am loving as I can use it for everything. I have purchased the Fold edition S-Pen, which makes it a much better experience. I will probably keep my Z Fold 3 for the 4 years before upgrading to a new unit.
Late to the party but just got my fold 3 for $300. Samsung had some ridiculous sale going on where the phone itself was $400 off and then I got $1100 trade in on my S21 Ultra.
Fold 4 coming out soon or not, I couldn't say no to $300.
