Galaxy S20 Series Discussion

Anyone still waiting for there Sprint S20 Ultra 5G 512GB from Samsung? I ordered mine on March 5th. I also order the Galaxy Buds and the Red Leather Case. Got an email right after that the Case was backordered and everything else would be delivered by March 24th. The next day I get another confirmation that everything will arrive on March 24. After about 10 or 12 days I checked the status and the delivery date of the phone Changed to March 31st and all the accessories have no date. Contacted Customer support Via Chat a few times and they all tell me I will hear back by Email in 2 to 3 days and I have yet to hear back. Hopefully the phone ships tomorrow as its the only way it will arrive by March 31st now. 

I also tried to change the delivery address since I had it shipping to my Office so it wouldn't sit in my apartment building unattended. Now do to the full shut down of businesses I want to change it to my apartment but Samsung doesn't allow changes. They told me to cancel the order and replace it. I would loose the $200 Promo and when check to see if I could order the same phone now it says it won't ship until March 30th. Now when I check it say the combination is unavailable.

I had FedEx deliver to my local Walgreens because I couldn't be home to accept it. That may be an option for you. FedEx had a couple different sites to choose from.

That's my plan for now wasn't sure how flexible Fedex was with this. It seems like the fedex location will have to be close to the delivery location, which isn't so close to where I live. 

I also just called today and they are saying it will ship by April 4th and be delivered by April 7th.

They really botch this roll out of the S20 Ultra 5G. They really under estimated the demand.

What am I loosing if i purchased the unlocked model from Samsung over the Sprint Model. I always have my Sprint one unlocked after 50 days anyway. Will the unlocked model download the sprint software like my current unlocked Sprint S10 will download whichever carriers software when a sim card is inserted?

I ordered the unlocked S20 Ultra 128Gb so I can still get it in black. Does anyone know what SIM card I need? I need to find a store that is open as well since the phone will be delivered tomorrow.

Actually around my area in Madison shows quite a bit of T-mobile 5G coverage. Very interesting.

seems like this update still didn't make it to unlocked devices 

No one received the update yet. It's not supposed to arrive until the 28th. If you're talking about the text, you should've received it at the same time as everybody else. I got it on my unlocked S20 Ultra.

    • In the conference call they had two question on additional spectrum. One was the 800 spectrum. They are not certain what will happen, thus have not really put it into their plans either way (sale or no sale). The do have a reserve level. It is seen as great for new technologies which I presume is IOT or 5g slices.  They did not bite on use of their c-band or DOD.  mmWave rapidly approaching deadlines not mentioned at all. FWA brushes on this as it deals with underutilized spectrum on a sector by sector basis.  They are willing to take more money to allow FWA to be mobile (think RV or camping). Unsure if this represents a higher priority, for example, RVs in Walmart parking lots where mobile needs all the capacity. In terms of FWA capacity, their offload strategy is fiber through joint ventures where T-Mobile does the marketing, sales, and customer support while the fiber company does the network planning and installation.  50%-50% financial split not being consolidated into their books. I think discussion of other spectrum would have diluted the fiber joint venture discussion. They do have a fund which one use is to purchase new spectrum. Sale of the 800Mhz would go into this. It should be noted that they continue to buy 2.5Ghz spectrum from schools etc to replace leases. They will have a conference this fall to update their overall strategies. Other notes from the call are 75% of the phones on the network are 5g. About 85% of their sites have n41, n25, and n71. It took two weeks to put the auction 108 spectrum to use at their existing sites. Mention was also made that their site spacing was designed for midrange thus no gaps in n41 coverage, while competitors was designed for lowband thus toggles back and forth for n77.  
    • The manual network selection sounds like it isn't always scanning NR, hence Dish not showing up. Your easiest way to force Dish is going to be forcing the phone into NR-only mode (*#*#4636#*#* menu?), since rainbow sims don't support SA on T-Mobile.
    • "The company’s unique multi-layer approach to 5G, with dedicated standalone 5G deployed nationwide across 600MHz, 1.9GHz, and 2.5GHz delivers customers a consistently strong experience, with 85% of 5G traffic on sites with all three spectrum bands deployed." Meanwhile they are very close to a construction deadline in June for 850Mhz of mmWave in most of Ohio iirc. No reported sightings.
    • T-Mobile Delivers Industry-Leading Customer, Service Revenue and Profitability Growth in Q1 2024, and Raises 2024 Guidance https://www.t-mobile.com/news/business/t-mobile-q1-2024-earnings — — — — — I find it funny that when they talk about their spectrum layers they're saying n71, n25, and n41. They're completely avoiding talking about mmWave.
    • Was true in my market. Likely means a higher percentage of 5g phones in your market.
