    Just received a text from Nightline to say it's coming tomorrow and I'll receive a 2hr slot. Can't wait now!

    The website still says processing.

    I guess I'll have to go with the S21 Ultra 5G 256GB model

    The 512GB is not list and don't seem to be online in any irish retailer

    €162 for the year is not bad. €15 a month is another option

    Hmm, Chill are €13/pm for the S21 256GB. They seem to be the only ones with a quote for the S21 series now.

    I'm with Mobile Phone Insurance Direct who can't sell new policies due to Brexit but they said they can give me a quote for the S21 when i have the IMEI to hand. Hoping for cheaper than €13pm! Haha

    Panic over I didn't realise there was a Preinstalled screen protector on the ultra that would explain the rough edges

    Planning to purchase a new Android phone this year. Do you guys think the S21 will be the best pick of the bunch this year or is there any other new releases planned for later in the year?

    The new Note will be out much later in the year, around August / September time.

    Just FYI you will still need to buy a screen protector. The one that's on it isn't meant to be left on. It's just a cover for shipping.

    It looks like a very solid screen protector, don't usually every use screen protectors i just use a good case. Have my s8 plus since launch no screen protector and not a scratch on it

    The phone comes with a pre-applied screen protector and a protective film for packaging. You can remove both if you wish but the second is for protection.

    Most of tempered glass protectors don't work well with the ultrasonic fingerprint reader.

    very impressed so far, few very small issues with the smart switch app

    Screen is amazing and the 16GB ram is too

    Impressed with the Buds Pro, have to try and get used to them and try not walk under a car when im walking :D:D

    thanks to bexiturley for the discunt code, with the trade in i paid €809 for the phantom silver 256GB Galaxy S21 ultra so it's less than what i was expecting,looking forward to receiving it.

    I was told yesterday on a call to customer services my charger would not arrive with phone as it was out of stock Although it was in stock when I ordered so not too sure how they are allocating stock to orders.
    I was also told mine was shipping yesterday but I received no tracking info so not hopeful it is even sent yet.
    I ordered mine on the 15th and still see it is processing... if this is delayed and I do not receive the phone by launch day it will be canceled and I will wait until it is reduced in a few months to save some money.

    Same case, but my current case is one of the heavy duty spiegen cases, so hopefully not much more bulkier then that

    It'll ship on launch day. I've seen that before and won't arrive till Monday.

    I don't know why they do Friday launches. Thursday be better for shipping.

    Did you get 2 free tags or buy an extra 1 ?

    I believe they are shipping in first pre-orders and on. Lots of boards members who ordered on launch day already have their phones. I ordered on the 15th and mine is arriving this afternoon.

    Yeah I'd expected something like that and in no rush like, just surprised they promised Friday for my order and no sign of any communication.
