Great stuff.
Did you order it from Samsung directly?
If so, would you mind telling us the date you ordered it?

Bought direct from samsung and ordered on the 18th

kave2 · 26-01-2021 12:27pm

Ordered on 19th and no change in my order details. I really hope to get it by Friday.

andrefrb · 26-01-2021 12:32pm

Ordered on the 16th and nothing yet either...

rob180 · 26-01-2021 12:48pm

Got.a text from Nightline- "Today is the day! Your Samsung e store order will be delivered by Nightline @ around 14:30."
Ordered my phone on the 20th Jan directly from the Samsung store.

pmce4 · 26-01-2021 12:53pm

weird how they process orders. mine was done on the 15th yet orders 5 days after that are shipping and mine isn't

andrefrb · 26-01-2021 12:57pm

Maybe depends on the Phone model we ordered.

dan786 · 26-01-2021 12:57pm

Was going to get the 512g version Ultra but wasn't available at that time of ordering. So decided to get the 256g version.

You have the Asian version as dual sims is very popular in those countries. Nice.

I think they will be dual sim for the Irish Market based on the chip

Samsung Ireland

Every Plus/Ultra model since S10 and Note 10 have been dual sim by default in EU also. No matter where you bought it.

Phone arrived this morning with the extras.Ordered from Samsung.

Best place to sell on the Buds and smart tag?

I'm not gonna to open them as have no interest or use for them.

Adverts.ie the best place ?
Its a long time since I used it but it could be heartbreaking at times .People offering the strangest of crap in swaps ðŸ€£

pmce4 · 26-01-2021 2:52pm

I use it all the time for buying and some times for selling the odd item. You will get odd lowball offers or swaps but be clear in the add info section of your requirements and then ignore the lowball offers and swaps

andrefrb · 26-01-2021 2:57pm

What about cases?
Any idea which one yous are going for?

Will try the Otterbox Symmetry one myself for the 1st time - it just arrived today (before the phone).

Went for the S21 Ultra and it seems BIG by looking at the case... I'm coming from an S8 Plus.

pmce4 · 26-01-2021 2:58pm

I get all my cases from "Mous" great cases

pmce4 · 26-01-2021 2:59pm

I have my case pre-ordered from Mous for the s21 Ultra as it is not made yet

It's still the same. I'd rather smash them into smithereens than use that shíthole of a website.

Lord Spence · 26-01-2021 3:33pm

Anyone get a return envelope yet for the trade in programme, got my ultra today so supposed to be sending them my old s8 plus, not sure what to do

DubLad69 · 26-01-2021 3:38pm

Mine arrived! 128gb Ultra with the extras too.

First thoughts are that it feels significantly thicker and heavier than the s20 plus. The touch vibration feels better (more like an iphone). Camera is a huge improvement.

The buds pro sound great, but not quite as secure feeling as I would like. The original buds (not the buds plus) fit much better.

liamog · 26-01-2021 3:41pm

2 Vodafone 256GB Ultras arrived today, both upgrades for me and wifey.

Jasus I am getting annoyed now as mine is still processing

rob180 · 26-01-2021 3:55pm

Just got my delivery.

pmce4 · 26-01-2021 3:55pm

was just informed on a call that mine is shipping today, but the charger is out of stock so that will come later.:D

The charger and cases are not officially available until the 29th, I know the phone wasn't either , still hoping my case arrives this week, mind this thing like a baby until then :eek:

Donegal Overlanding · 26-01-2021 4:12pm

Got an email from Three today stating that my S21 Ultra has left their warehouse. The tracking number still doesn't show up in An Post yet though, so probably has not actually left the warehouse, or been scanned yet.

It is a nice surprise to get it early, I thought I would have to wait until 29th for it to ship.

DessieJames · 26-01-2021 4:25pm

The s21 and s21 plus are a dissapointment for me personally, doing away with the SD card and no charger and a plastic type back is not good, the s21 ultra looks amazing but i cant justify the price so will wait for oneplus 9 in March

Reati · 26-01-2021 4:29pm

I ordered from Samsung direct at weekend (the trade in values went up for my phone and pushed me off the fence). Didn't get an emails after a few days so contacted them.

Replied with my order details and said be here on Friday.

PTH2009 · 26-01-2021 4:34pm

Mine arrived, didn't get a chance to open it yet

Anyone have any luck finding gadget insurance ?

I was the same but managed to grab the ultra for €737 with my s8 plus, looks like they mispriced it on the student store, I wasn't counting my chickens until it arrived today, well happy with that. Hopefully see a big jump from my s8

jaysus id buy it for €737 in a flash if i could but even with a trade in on my S20 plus they are only offering €410 meaning id have to fork out over €900 , is there any way around this?

Well if you know any students you can get 15% discount on unidays website so would save you over another €100

My order was processed and An Post shipping link sent, Wifey's never got the shipping notification.

pmce4 · 26-01-2021 4:56pm

I think the S21+ has a glass back

PTH2009 · 26-01-2021 4:57pm

Delighted the buds, smart tag and cover arrived at the same time too

Am I best to charge the phone fully first and the set it up ?

pmce4 · 26-01-2021 4:57pm

I ordered a case as well but was told that only the charger was delayed.

you gonna wait for the case or you gonna risk it and use the phone straight away

liamog · 26-01-2021 5:01pm

I've ordered the Mous Case, but will take a while, so have also ordered one of the Samsung Silicone case, they're under the VAT threshold on Amazon.co.uk
Am already using the phone, as I'm impatient like that

No you don't need to do that with batteries anymore.

I am going to use it straight away, the inner child and gadget freak in my would not stand for anything else.

Same as myself the mous cases are class.

feargantae · 26-01-2021 5:12pm

I ordered on the 19th, 256GB normal S21 and it still says processing. No dispatch or tracking yet. I feel like a kid at Christmas waiting for this to come haha

Used the Mous case on the S8 and a Snakehive Wallet case on the S10. I've massively reduced the number of cards I now carry, so will try the card wallet on the back of the limitless 3.0
