Please Note-If you have purchased a pre-order device, please delete this email- your pre-ordered device will be shipped by its advertised release date.

Ivefoundgod · 22-08-2018 10:43pm

I just re-read it and there’s a part in bold saying “if you have purchased a pre order device please delete this email-your pre ordered device will be shipped by it’s advertised release date” don’t know how I missed it first time. Does yours say the same?

Very strange if that’s right, why would three auto send these mails for non pre ordered phones? Which is what they appear to be doing if the bolded part is correct? Are they not holding kids stock in Ireland so they can have a 3-5 day delivery time from UK stock or what is going on? Very odd. And if that is the case surely their auto mailing system has enough sophistication to note when customers are pre ordering?!?

If I go to my order tracking using the link in one of the emails, it now says item out of stock. The email must be linked to that status changing.

That's simply not true. I'm on Eir formally meteor and never have issues.regular travel to the UK and 4g in big city's is very inconsistent all over the place

To say there is no investment is a lie to say the UK is better is another lie.

I'm no liar! I go to the USA and UK a lot and there's a huge difference! You have triple CA set ups more bands and most Vodafone's masts are 4g in the UK. I see you're from Dublin, sure take a spin down the country and report back :rolleyes:

Roberto_gas · 23-08-2018 6:07am

Is three offering the best deal on this at the moment ?

No need, the 4G is grand here. :pac:

Assuming things are the same as last year, 3 preorders will be shipped tonight for delivery tomorrow. For tracking:

https://www.nightline-delivers.com/SmartShip.Online/Tracking

Choose Reference

Add S603 in Customer Code

Add your three order number to Reference Number 1

I'm not sure when it will start working, maybe later tonight sometime.

Ivefoundgod · 23-08-2018 11:33am

I tweeted three about the email, they said to ignore it as there is no stock shortage of the note 9.

but the yellow s pen is even more off putting in the hand. Lavender version really didn’t look good to me.

It's a bit toy like.

Seems the 8GB version comes with a 2nd s pen in More subtle / matching colours.

At least the blue one does according to a vid I saw on YouTube

No email for me. Still showing out of stock on the tracker. I'll be fairly pissed off if I don't get it tomorrow. Ordered it early last week..

check spam folder. I ordered on the 18th

Mine isn't showing up on either an post or the linked above tracker and I got the email saying dispatched.

So a couple of mates of mine ordered it a day after me. Both got emails saying its dispatched. I've got nothing. Was chatting to 3 customer care there. They say my order is out of stock and it'll be next week. Not happy about that at all..

Have had the same before when ordering devices on release. It can't be that hard to prioritise in order.

Which colour are you going for?

It is bollocks if you don't get it that's the whole point of pre ordering

Careful not to lose your pre order price though

Ivefoundgod · 23-08-2018 8:12pm

Got the dispatch email, not showing up on the an post site though, maybe later on.

BLIZZARD7 · 23-08-2018 9:48pm

Ordered on the 20th - Blue phone, no dispatch email and order status says out of stock...

Ordered same date, same colour, and An Post tracking says that it's in transit at Dublin parcel hub.

Luck of the draw it seems... Unless mine turns up tomorrow anyway, I'm doubtful now though.

Edit: just got the dispatch email and an post delivery status saying item has been accepted so seems I may actually receive it tomorrow

Black. Well if I don't get it tomorrow I'll be asking for my money back that day or a phone from the shop stock in Limerick. Its bollox if I don't get tomorrow.

I have had no e-mail off three, not able to access the website, no info on nightline shipping, I typed my order reference into An Post tracking and it says Item is in transit from the Dublin parcel hub. Maybe if you guys check an post before the post usually comes you might get lucky, just wondering as well, does in transit mean it will be delivered to me tomorrow considering I'm in North Kildare, about 15-20 mins from there, usually get my post around 9-10?
Thanks

Got a text around 8 saying mine was out for delivery

jonnny68 · 24-08-2018 9:15am

Mine has been delivered to my job just waiting on the work posts office to email me to pick it up, hope to **** its unlocked

BLIZZARD7 · 24-08-2018 10:39am

Phone arrived from 3 about an hour ago, unlocked !

Beautiful screen, coming from s7 edge.

I had wrongly assumed it would be dual sim but that doesn't seem to be a thing here.

Carriers aren't going to sell you a dual SIM device. Hardly in their best interests.

Just got home to discover my Note delivered, even though the An Post site doesn't even show as out for delivery. Also had a case and screen protectors arrive this morning. Perfect timing.

frozenfrozen · 24-08-2018 11:15am

Aw yes unlocked, still waiting on mine but that is such good news. Does that mean there's no bloat 3 **** on it?

3 never have bloat? A 3 splash screen is about all you get. They don't add rubbish like Vodafone do.

I had loads of three stuff on my s7e!

Never seen vodafone bloat but I'd prefer absolutely nothing above stock.

Not american phone levels of bloaty ****ware but I still had a good few things preloaded on that I got rid of to match a stock phone, even in package disabler now I'll see a few three rewards type things I disabled day one

Skittle · 24-08-2018 11:32am

Guys, I'm on the 3 website, and it still seems that it's possible to buy the phone for €799. It's the Blue variant on 3Pay and it says it's €949, but when I check out it says that it's full price €799?

I don't think any of the 3 apps are system apps, you can just uninstall them. Right now my device only has two 3 apps, and I'm pretty sure that's because I restored them from Google Play.

frozenfrozen · 24-08-2018 11:43am

Mine just arrived, and I have to go do a few things so will have to wait till later to use it boo

frozenfrozen · 24-08-2018 12:12pm

It's not going to do anything like lock to the first type of sim that is put in it? I'm going to swap over to vodafone in a little while

jonnny68 · 24-08-2018 12:44pm

Blue version looks lovely and result it's unlocked ðŸ˜‰ðŸ˜‰

darragh o meara · 24-08-2018 1:16pm

Had a play around with one this morning and it's a beautiful device. Not much of an update to my S9+ but looks a lot nicer. The new S Pen looked and felt great and it's the one thing I missed for the last 2 years since my Note 4 developed the dreaded MMC error that plagued so many of them.

Had to laugh though when the Samsung sales person tried to convince me that the DEX feature could replace a computer, I'm not sure it's there just yet but it can't be too far away given the yearly processing power and RAM upgrades.

Not sure if I'm gonna jump on board and use my upgrade to get one when the S9+ is working really well for me and spec wise is almost identical.

ChopShop · 24-08-2018 2:31pm

Jealous of some of you.

Was told mine will be 2 weeks more.

Ivefoundgod · 24-08-2018 3:12pm

Which model did you order? Can’t for the life of me understand how big companies can make such a mess of something so straightforward. They must know what stock they have and what order the sales came in at so simply allocate the stock to each customer until none left and then show phones out of stock. It’s fairly basic online shopping.

BlackMask93 · 24-08-2018 3:46pm

Have an S8+, this looks like a worthy upgrade contender

frozenfrozen · 24-08-2018 4:21pm

Been glued to it all day now. So good, never had an S-pen before, really not like needing to zoom on websites to navigate. no three Splash screen...

Wrote this post with handwriting recognition. very good.

jonnny68 · 24-08-2018 4:39pm

It's very snappy too, extremely smooth, very pleased so far with it

Go into Vibration pattern... unreal compared to S7 Edge. So much cool stuff with this phone

Blue 512GB. There is every possibility Samsung sent all the stock to a diff market or are throttling supply to increase demand.

I'd say there's just little demand for the 8gb/512gb model. Often you have to wait for the higher spec variant.

Had one update with August security patches and something to do with super slow mo. Same for everyone else?

Yep they added two lengths for the slomo 0.2s and 0.5.they were already there on the s9+ etc but were missing on note I think.

The slomo is cool
