    Dam students....
    Ok now let me preface my post with , I tried and tried, i could not reproduce this.



    On launch day i was messing around on the samsung site for ireland, adding a note 20, adding a s21 ultra, comparing prices etc, like the excited little manchild i am.
    When adding them, it adds the buds, it adds the tile etc.
    So whatever happened, i removed the phones, and was left with the galaxy buds live in my cart....with a cost of zero...and zero shipping...



    So i clicked submit....


    And got an order number......


    And a tracking number, which didnt work at first...



    But then did 2 days later.....


    And now i have free buds....


    I think there was some bug in the site at the time, and im nearly sure i have tried the same thing, again and again,but could not reproduce it.

    Where did you get that deal?

    yeah student site, its meant to be only 15% off but seems like a misprice as the 256GB and 512GB are discounted correctly. Just the 128GB is misprice. Instead of 15% its doing around 30%.

    The site is messed up as the S21 Plus 256GB is 960 but the 128GB is 1170.

    Still not over the shock of spending a grand in a half on this phone

    Suppose 512GB along with 16 Ram will be worth it. Buds Pro also

    You reckon the price we paid will be honoured, kinda reluctant to buy an ultra case until I know for sure I have the phone, ultra definitely wasn't in my price bracket until this pricing error.occured

    Got the same deal plus 180 euro trade in for my s8 plus so 737 euro for a s21 ultra 128gb is a great price, my order has been accepted and sent to their distributer to be processed so hopefully the purchase and price will be honoured

    Yours says that it's been sent to distributer? My last update is ORDER IS BEING PROCESSED BY EXERTIS

    Got a case and 3 pack glass screen protector for 5 Euros from ESR.

    Really good brand although very basic cases. I got tempered glass and case for iPhone from them and they were great. It was easiest install ever as they provided a plastic bracket to align the glass and it was applied in seconds in one go with zero bubbles and perfectly aligned.

    Bought this cover

    https://shop.samsung.com/ie/galaxy-s21-ultra-5g-protective-standing-cover-black

    Whats the best screen protector out there and where could I buy it ?

    No insurance places seem to have the quotes up for the S21 series yet. Phone insurance is not for some people but forking out close to €1500 for it i want the best

    Does anyone knows what color of buds are we getting? Is it based on color of phone?
    Will be interesting if Samsung/Exertis ships everything together or buds and acces. might come earlier.

    I would be ok with silver or black ones. I ordered silver phone so silver buds would go well with phone.
    Hopefully is not the purple one's 🀣

    Be happy with any colour really but id hate to fork out over €220 for a pair :P:P

    Hopefully the free stuff will arrive with the phone but not overly confident and say its claiming through the Members app by the cut off date
