There's a tracking number on my Gear VR. It'll be here tomorrow.
UPS:
"Severe weather conditions have delayed delivery. Delivery will be rescheduled."
Stuck in Indy.
No biggie, no phone anyhow.

Another option is to just wait and let them work the bugs out and renew on time. I have a gs4t and it's a decent device still. I'm just getting the 7 because I'm in my 25th month and can.
Upgrading from that photon last time was painful. Wimax in the Omaha market was a joke and the phone sucked. I upgraded 2 months early free under the old policy.
Don't let the hype make you waste money.

No such luck on the phone yet.
Tracked via http//www.sprint.com/myorder
They did NOT send an email at time of shipment like they did for the order receipt and acceptance.
It is not likely that I missed it to spam because all of the other emails came through fine.
I did notice that the two were worded slightly differently:
• Samsung Galaxy S7 edge-All colors: Ships as early as 3/7
• Samsung Gear VR Headset: Ships by 3/11
The phones will be held until the release date, and the Gear VR is under no such restriction.

I've got my Onyx Black S7 Edge pre-ordered!
I also got to play with the device!
The lady at Best Buy was setting up their display for tomorrow. She asked if I wanted to play with it. Of course I said yes! (she hadn't even started the stupid promo animation yet)
1) The Edge is a lot more comfortable than with the GS6. I feel like the screen "Edge" of the front display has a sharper transition, you can use more of the screen. It also had visibly less glare than the S6 at the edges (I couldn't notice any at all).
2) The device is VERY FAST! No lag, no stutter. Buttery smooth.
3) The screen is very bright. And very nice. I saw a report today saying its Samsung's brightest-capable (and most accurate color) screen yet, and I believe it. Something like 850 nits of brightness at its max.
Overall, unlike the S6 Edge, it fits a lot better in the hand and I have no problem gripping the device without interfering with the screen.
Also, my fears were confirmed. The device she had was Gold and it was very bling and distracting, almost to the point of being gaudy. Fortunately the screen was bright enough to outshine it!
I'm butterfingers hard on phones. It's going into a speck candy shell grip case again. I got a black, but another color wouldn't make a diff in the case.
If anyone can make it lag, it's me.

Best Buy is better if you have one.
Free 64gb Evo+ 90mb/sec SD Card.
Also, if you buy it through Sprint you need to submit for the Gear VR through the Samsung Website. With Best Buy it should come when the device is delivered.
My online contract renewal and purchase at Sprint indicates that Sprint is shipping the Gear VR as part of the purchase but in a separate shipment.
A table is displayed showing ship dates and the Gear VR is displayed as a distinct device purchase. It may be other carriers doing it the way you describe.
Table says phone ships by 3/7 and Gear VR ships by 3/11.

Has Sprint sold out of their pre-orders already? It won't let me order either the S7 or S7 Edge. When I click pre-order on the S7 page, it takes me to the page with all available phones. The S7 phones are there when the page first loads, then go away after a couple seconds.
I'm on ED450, still in contract but eligible to upgrade on lease/Easy Pay.
Check your filters?

Start from your online account.
Select upgrade my phone and it checks to see if you're eligible.
(I'm at the end of my current 2-year as of January)
I bought my GS4T in January of 2014 when they came out.
If you're not at the end of your current contract, you're kinda screwed for that deal.

Pre Order is live. Website is working. Unlike the 6S pre order.
Sprint jumped the gun with the gs4t a couple years back. I thought they might do it again but not enough to stay up all night to see exactly when.

Order placed.
Phone ships around 3/7 Gear VR ships around 3/11.
$376 with 2 year renewal and activation fee

Samsung is working to have the phones available as quickly as possible, and that means pre-orders are going live right away — 8 a.m. ET on Feb. 23 is when AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, Sprint and U.S. Cellular will be taking orders.

Can't decide on S7 or S7 Edge...hmm. Anyone with an Edge device still happy with their choice?
The edge has a bigger battery, larger screen, and added access functionality via the edge screens. These S7 edges are supposed to have new functionality and the new sdk release is supposed to encourage new app uses.

Still serves the same purpose. Sprint will only activate Sprint models, even if you manually flash different firmware for the carrier.
I didn't say it didn't.
Theoretically, the potential is there without hardware issues and only an OTA software change.

What about the fingerprint reader?
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
It has one in the home button. I've been watching YouTube videos. No word on rumoured speaker improvements.

Has anyone seen confirmation about fingerprint reader and louder speakers?

Looks like there are numerous versions for each carrier. I guess no universal device for the US carriers. What a shame.
The articles I read say that they are the same US device but firmware is different. Hardware and radios are the same. Differing numbers indicate which firmware configuration.

It'd sure be nice to know. I'd wait a bit if there is a 64gb or even a 128gb version coming.
Why they wouldn't release it immediately is beyond me.
Sammie's website has a couple 32gb black/gold versions up for TMO and ATT

I'm curious to see how this Buy One Get One 1/2 Off will do for Galaxy Flagship sales at Sprint.

I'd think it ideal for couples on non corporate plans where their phone tastes are the same.

Looks like I'll be up late Monday night then.According to the Sprint Newsroom, pre-orders start February 23rd, and if you order by March 18, you get the VR.

If you guys are upgrading so often, have you looked into the galaxy forever program? What are the cost/benefits to that?
I don't see that in your lists.
