I have that since they started it. (Web version is way better than Android phone version btw), but  it says it can't do that at this time. Not ttat it matters since I really don't want to change the delivery date or destination. They usually deliver between 12-2 and 4-6 in my area.

TS

It shows in the image, Feb 23rd and I believe it was around in the mid afternoon.

TS

I was out all day but I just checked now and got the email confirmation with tracking number for the 2 Gold S7 Edges. As per UPS they will be delivered Wed, which is nice, but I won't be home till after 10PM since I have a Broadway show to go to. Well, if they deliver it before 4PM, I can quickly go home and tuck them inside and then head to the show.

The VR Gears do not have a Tracking number yet.

 

Was there ever any explanation why no white in the US? Is that some sort of Apple issue?

I would have bought white myself. No idea why they didn't make them available.

TS

Here you go.  I will be posting a comparison between my S6 Edge, Note 5 and the new S7E.  S7E is not much better than the Note 5 in terms of RF.

Thanks for posting the pics.

TS

Even if you had a photo, I don't think they would be able to do anything. 

Edit:

But I would still like for those that said they received the Sprint version to post a photo that they did indeed get it, otherwise I call BS.

TS

Some of my friends that ordered days after I did just got their tracking info for their gear vr's. I am so sad right now.

Yeah, It seems to be a repeat of a previous pre-order if I recall. There is no rhythm or reason for how some are getting it before others. 

TS

I got an email today from Samsung stating "There's still time to pre-order the Galaxy S7 edge or S7 and receive it three days early.

" 

So my interpretation of that email is: if they are allowed to sell the devices in store on the 11th, three days before that would be the 8th. Figure 1 day for shipping at the minimum, then yeah my order email stating that the device will ship the week of the 7th probably does mean all early pre-order shipments will go out on the 7th. 

btw, I see alot of tweets on twitter stating that folks have received theirs already, but not one of them uploads a pic to prove it.    

TS

This also happened to me a while back with a brand new unopened LG G Flex 2. Sprint gave it to me as a gift and it took 2 days on the phone with no luck and an additional day at a corp store to get it on the database. Same thing with the HTC A9 they gave me. Yet others that got it did not have an issue. 

TS

They shipped it to the store and I assume they won't release it till the 11th. wow that does suck. 

TS

opps I stand corrected. I guess my eyes were fixated on the GSM LTE Bands line. My bad. Thanks for spotting it.

TS

Side note:

 

Does Marcelo's twitter header photo really bug anyone else?  For running a company the size of Sprint, it is surprising to me that he cant find someone who is better at photoshop.  (or get his family all in one place for a picture.)   

Except for the top of the head of Marcelo and his son, everyone is in the header pic. I don't see anything wrong with it .

TS

Yes I can confirm the screenshot by latoso above with one of my own.

B412  in Jackson Heights/Elmhurst on Broadway from 72nd st to Elmhurst Ave. At Elmhurst Ave it goes back to regular B41.

TS 

It's too bad that the Sprint variant does not include full CCA/RRPP compatibility with inclusion of LTE Bands 5 and 12. They do include them in the AT&T/Tmo variant. Bummer.

Looking at the specs, it shows LTE bands 5 and 12 now.

Looks like the NextBit Robin will be coming to Sprint now. Anyone planning to get one? I don't see an ETA yet on the CDMA variant, but the GSM version seems to be available for purchase now.

I'm curious about one thing though. Even if the device has all the Sprint bands, would Sprint allow it on their network? I haven't seen any confirmation from Sprint.

TS

^ Nice. I may have to test that tomorrow at Elmhurst Hospital.

Pretty cool starting this thread. I look forward to seeing posts. BTW, I never knew that the Samsung code name for the S7 Edge is Samsung Hero 2.

TS 

When did you order? And was it through telesales, online or in store?

Ordered 2 Edges including 2 VR headsets on Feb 23rd at 4PM EST thru Sprint online. (I would have ordered earlier but I was in meetings all day that day). Got the enterpriseorderspport email minutes after. 

I seriously doubt they will be shipped before the 7th, but hey one never knows. 

In the meantime to pass the time I've been ordering all sorts of stuff for it. My Note Edge cases have shipped and should get here by end of week. I just ordered 2 200GB sd cards that are on sale on Amazon as well. 

Anticipation is a bitch. It's like waiting for that ketchup to come out of the bottle, so slow. lol

TS

I'm willing to bet that at least one of us here will get it by tomorrow.

 

Let me also add that there have been many times I have ordered a phone and it showed up the same exact day they decided to send out tracking info. 

Nothing shows up on My UPS tracking screens, but I've had this happened to me too once before. I believe it was for the EVO 4G. Regardless, I do hope they are on their way. 

TS

District 9

hmmm I find it odd that with each and every country I selected (that I plan on visiting in the next 24 months) both the new Galaxy S7 Edge and S7 shows up in the selection but for the Gran Canary Islands, only the S7 does. 

TS

Well if you don't have the sprint replacement coverage they will replace the device for $75 which isn't that bad of a deal.  Either way I don't keep a phone longer than a year anyway.

I didn't know about the $75, no insurance option.  That's cool.

Neither did I. 

Yeah, i used to keep insurance on my phone faithfully every year for years then one day I realized that I hadn't used my insurance since the touch pro 1, so year I basically gave sprint hundreds of dollars over those years for nothing.  So I would rather spend the 75 if I have too versus spending hundreds and not have too.  

I've noticed this as well. I have insurance for all my devices and for what seems like ages and don't recall the last time I ever need to put in a claim. 

My google mastery is unparalleled.

Interestingly, I didn't even know about this.

Nice find.

Be careful.  6 years out of date.  It may not be current any more.

hmmm. I was about to ask how does one get to do this $75 replacement plan. But if that is from 6 years ago, I'm left to wonder if it is still available.

TS

Glad to hear its UPS. Fed ex has a habit of taken packages back to the depot. 

I also preordered through Sprint on Tuesday and received my gear VR today. Never got a tracking or shipping notification.

Wow that is fast. I guess it also depends from where the devices are coming from. If they are coming from KC and it only took 2 days to get to you in MN, that is pretty fast. 

Now the waiting game starts.

TS

Its been a while since I've pre-order a phone so my memory may not be accurate. So by "tracked out" do you mean you actually got a tracking number or that the order was received? Mine says, "Your order for the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge has been received. Orders will begin shipping as early as 3/7. Keep an eye out for a shipping email with your tracking information." for each one including the VR Gears.

TS

Yes, he is talking about John "the Legend in his own mind" Legere.

Last year. Donald "the Dumpster" Trump went off on Legere in a few tweets where one was complaining about the service and John complaining the Trump hotels being sucky. It was basically a pre-cursor of what the presidential primaries are. lol
