    Good stuff, Wednesday or Thursday I imagine we'll have it.
    I went for the Mystic Bronze, going to use it with no case.

    I have used only minimal slim cases on my Note 8,9,10+ so with this one being ever so slightly bigger there just isn't room for anything but maybe a skin.
    I don't throw my phone around so I'll rather just use insurance if I do have an accident.

    With Amazon to Ireland they're reporting arrival by Aug 25-27th but I'm hoping it may go a little earlier like past years.

    If you ordered now or tomorrow I would imagine that you would have it Thursday or Friday, Vodafone is normally max 48 hours but it is pre-order being released Wednesday or Thursday.

    Oooooh the excitement, I'll be staring out the window all day tomorrow.

    I don't know why to be honest, after the initial setup and the "ooooh shiney" it'll just be a normal phone

    But it's a great feeling opening the box and sitting it up for the first time. I usually use the Samsung smart switch app to copy over everything but I might start from scratch this time.

    Smart Switch just makes everything so easy but there's always great anticipation of setting up the new device, it can take a couple of hours by the time everything is setup the way you want, all the apps installed and uninstalled (Instrgram is always nuked), then putting on the case, then treating it like it's an ancient artifact that you've just found, then warning the kids not to touch it cause it's Daddy's new phone.

    Half an hour later you'll be using the S-Pen as a toothpick :D

    Friday is the release date so that could be the day that they ship them which means it could be Monday when they are delivered.

    Friday release date is the date you can buy them in the shops, preorder is normally organised so that you have it delivered latest on that date, often a day or two before.
    However.... this is Ireland.... do you feel lucky :-)

    I think this is my first time pre-ordering a phone actually, knowing my luck it'll be lost in transit and I'll be waiting months for it :o:o:o

    For anyone using parcel motel, you might want to consider the extended liability. I did it before for peace of mind.....just incase.

    Couple of nice cases showed up last week for me....nothing unseen before, the Leather and the Clear View. Obviously very similar to the S20 Ultras but liking the more angled, wide look to them so should suit the phone well, especially the leather which always tends to become the everyday case.
    Wouldn't put money on Exertis coming through this week after a couple of delayed experiences with them all the same, but would be a nice end to the week.

    I've gotten Spigen for my last few phones and I've 1 ordered this time again, this is what I went for https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B089D33K4F

    The kickstand isn't recessed into the phone so the phone tilts away from you when it's "flat" but I've gotten used to it
