Always interested in other "stuffs" for the phones. I tried a privacy SP but between the lack of angle display (that's what its for duh) at night, the tinting of it (causing difficulty with sunglasses on while driving) and issues with finger print (might be a glass thing over all, been a whole with glass and sammys lol) I am going to switch to a zagg one. My son works at best buy and can get them for cost, so why not? Also that Beetle case is a beast, I don't like the "plastic" on the back of the phone though, and I am considering jumping into the Magsafe sphere, as I need a new holder in my work truck (only been 9 yrs) So might as well try the magnet, and charge at the same time. So any ideas on those would be nice

Ok I am kind of chatty as I go. I do find it interesting they send the phone UPS, yet the return of your trade-in, is through FedEx Spreading the money around I guess??

This thing makes the phone HUGE flash back to the old note 2 days. BUT gives good screen protection. But oh baby is it an act of god to get it out of the case hahaha. Just put my crave case on. Feels back to normal, but the screen almost looks even with the case, that could be bad. I guess the 1 positive of a curved screen, it dropped it out of the way. Decisions decisions. And I got small hands lol

Good to know thanks. Mine updated too. But it was able to just pickup where it left off. Outside of PW's i haven't found much that didn't carry over. Oh wait Google keyboard vs Samsung. That defaulted, so I had to go in and set up my Google 1 again.

wooohooo.. Just showed up

Is it a business account? I had huge issues "verifying" account even after I had done it. Their "business" account for small businesses blows. I am sure it's great for large enterprise. But otherwise bleh. Did you order through TMO or direct from Sammy?

Bah I wished UPS was like Amazon or something. I gotta wait another 5.5 hours? Not knowing how close? Lol I wonder if it was a dedicated UPS truck for new Sammy's? If everything originated in Louisville. Then shipped by air (took 1.5 hrs to salt lake) to places. I dunno, the thoughts that run through my head while I wait.

We might complain or be bugged that updates take longer than we like. But it could be worse. Ick fortunately my wife or son either didn't update or hasn't affected them. Thank you Samsung for double checking things https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/google/google-pixel-phones-unusable-after-january-2024-system-update/

I just checked mine. From Louisville and tomorrow by 7 as well. Utah here

Hum, considering they are saying this is 1 of the big improvements. Was it 2600 nits I think?

it is turned on...The 2pm was out and about, later on I was home and would have been on wifi calling

So the phone has been not receiving calls lately either. Just yesterday I got a call around 2pm... Around 6 nothing. when I noticed I tried making a call with my other phone, nothing... Then tried using mine to make a call out. That worked.. Then magically it allowed calls back in. Between this happening and the text thing happening, randomly... I guess its a good thing I am getting a new daily runner. Can't decide if its carrier, or phone.

I was ust going to say this... And it's happy birthday to me.. Get my phone on my 50th... whoooo hooo..Still makes me feel like a 30 yr old to get a new phone (back when the tech was crazy from year to year)

Orange all the way baby hahah. So wait you got only the 256? they didn't offer double? And only $24 for a full 2 years instead of $12 (now $15 after 1st month, I might just cancel that) oh now that i am reading some of this, I guess its just the standard not the ultra?? my mistake

I finally got the stupid site to go through. I got $600 for the note 20 ultra. That was a no brainer when I saw that number (350 for the 23 in Nov) plus with all the other incentives got new buds to. So I'll shift my 22 to the house phone and rock the 24. And next year do it again for the 25 I guess. Oh I got the Orange 1, plus I'll get the crave case with built in magnet. Had this brand case on the last 3 phones. Works real well. Slim, but protects (dropped more times than I care to count). Excited to go back to the flat screen, never used the side bar thing.

I get that, I used HC way back when... then tried Textra. I liked the stripped down, yet functional app.. HC got a little too many options lol. But now I don't want to switch either. Tried Google messaging.. ICK

bleh... app wont work, website wont let me log in to the right place..... Not impressed on my first day of release order... But getting a smoking price for my trade in lol

Trying to get this thing ordered and pay with the 24 mths Samsung financing. Their website is struggling....

Anyone having issues with their phones NOT sending SMS texts. It'll send MMS. but for whatever reason It keeps dropping the ability to send. I read somewhere about losing SMSC number. I can receive Send MMS I use Textra It fixes when I restart the phone. Trying to decide a phone issue, Service, App

4 more days to pre order. I did the "hold my spot" thing for the extra $50 in credit. The question will be, A. price, B trade in for my note 20U

a "lease" for these purposes is all but a loan, with the difference you pay off the final balance or turn it back in at the end. The "final" payoff is anywhere from a $1, to whatever the final payment turns out to be. The how's and whys the phone companies worded it this way, I don't know, Probably to "show" they still had ownership of the physical phone, again, just guessing. In the equipment world it equated to being able to finance things easier, albeit at a higher % but it was easier to get, because the financier still "owned" the equipment. Easier to repo I suppose. Plus there are tax, sales, property etc advantages to it. I am thinking with the MFG now getting into selling direct and having "authorized" repair places around. They no longer need the cell companies. It might also be why there is a slight freeze on the prices going up. They aren't giving up anything to the cell companies.

Just looked, still Oct

I think so....I am looking at trading my note 20 ultra in for the s24 ultra... I still have some owing on my 22. But I am done with going through the phone companies. The benefits no longer out weight the problems...

Yup, got 1, then the other popped up right after.. It was kind of weird

No, it's the right one. Do I get the 23, now that I get 500 for my note 20? OR Do wait and just get the 24 because it's so close and they may possibly give more for the 20 (or could be less hence the question) So see? To 24 or not to 24
