Okay, some info regarding the free Gear VR.

Info from Ars Technica

The free Gear VR offer is available with Galaxy S7 phones ordered through March 18. The device will be provided via a web form available starting on March 4.

Now, I also read the same on Amazon.it.

Pre-ordina Samsung Galaxy S7 e vivi l’esperienza della realtà virtuale
Dal 22 Febbraio al 10 Marzo 2016 pre-ordina uno smartphone della serie Samsung Galaxy S7 o S7 Edge, registrati su people.samsung.it/user/register e ricevi Samsung Gear VR. Per maggiori dettagli sulla promozione visita people.samsung.it/promozioni. I prodotti venduti e spediti da Amazon rientrano nella promozione alle condizioni esposte nel regolamento. Per articoli venduti dai venditori terzi (inclusi quelli spediti da Amazon), chiedi conferma al venditore se l'articolo può beneficiare della promozione. Leggi il regolamento dell'operazione.

For more details on the promotion visit people.samsung.it/promozioni. Products sold and shipped by Amazon fall in promoting the conditions set out in Regulation. For items sold by third-party vendors (including those shipped by Amazon), confirm with the seller if the item is eligible for the promotion. Read the settlement.

I'm getting the impression, that regardless of whether it comes with the order or not, you can register to receive it after the fact. It would be great of Samsung would just cut the bull and state this and put the nonsense to an end.

Yeah you can pay with your Irish card, I just used Revolut to get the best exchange rates as the bank card screws me on those. :cool:

Yeah it wasn't accepting the card via their own payment system for some reason. So I just used PayPal to pay and it worked fine.

Maybe a bit early.. but anyway, cases!

Spigen are a brand I've always used.

I went with the Rugged Armor case for £9.99. Looks great!

Its a good case. I have the Rugged Armor on my S6 Edge+. Doesn't add much bulk, and doesn't really take away from the look of the phone too much.

That said, when I take my S6 Edge+ out of the case, I can't get over how amazing it looks.

Spigen are a brand I've always used (last Samsung phone was an S5 and Note 4).

what's everyone else going for?

Was just checking payment methods there on the site and it just says all major credit cards or Paypal. Nothing to do with uk only cards. But the method you went with is prob the safest

Not long, and you can use the card online without the physical card straight away once you register. You can use an Irish card but easier to use a UK card with PayPal, as it will get through security checks just fine, all going well. Irish cards have a tendency to get flagged.

That's class. Does it take long to set up that revolut card? Has to be a uk card to order it I assume?

Samsung don't ship to ParcelMotel anymore, I remember trying to order a tablet last year and the address was flagged.

An Post will keep your parcel in a post office of your choice for 5 days.

Are you ordering the standard S7 or the S7 Edge Pat?

Pre ordered the black S7 Edge on Samsung UK just now. Came to €810 using Revolut and PayPal checkout.

Can't wait to get my hands on it!

Just a word of caution. Because they don't offer delivery to your own address in Ireland, just read the small print to ensure you have a warranty if anything goes wrong. Samsung UK may refuse to cover it as it was not 'supposed' to be sold to this market, and Samsung Ireland may not cover it because you didn't buy it in this market.

Samsung products bought within the EU have an EU covered warranty, so no issues there. The only time they wouldn't honour a warranty would be if it was imported from outside the EU i.e. Asia

Ye it's tough to get sorted with a sim free phone. Did you get the VR set direct from Samsung?

No, called in and they are only allowing bill pay pre orders. For RoI anyway.

Would cpw not let you preorder? I was going to drive to Enniskillen at the weekend and preorder in store and pay cash.

Surely they can't refuse cash payment up front?

Will be buying sim free direct from Samsung it seems. Carphone Warehouse obviously don't want my money so they can stick it.

Anyone else annoyed that we don't get the Snapdragon 820? Would have preferred that SoC personally.
