Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Reservation numbers / Questions!

Hey everyone!!Smiley Happy

Once again its the time of the year that Samsung will be announcing their new Note line up. I am happy to announce that Samsung Galaxy Note 8 will be announced tomorrow! As for the specs, They are rumored to be AMOLED 6'3 inch, Dual back cameraCamera, 3,000mAh battery, Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 CPU, 6GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage with the ability to expect memory via a microSD card slot and more! As for colors, its been leaked out Midnight Black, Maple Gold, Orchid Grey, Deep Sea Blue (it’s likely that only a few of these will be available in Canada). As for when Rogers will be putting it live, it most likely will be tomorrow or the following days after, I will update this thread with more info to come!


1). Once Rogers has announce when they will add the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 to the reservation list & the day comes, sign into your My Rogers account - Product & Services – Wireless & you will see a Red wording saying “Device Reservation" on the main page. Click that & it will take you to the page. Once there you will need to pick which device you want; Samsung Note 8 Black and what other colors they may release it on. You also need to pick the store you want it to go too. Just to make it clear, reservations are for current Rogers wireless customers which have contracts with them. Rogers will put up the Pre order list for people that want to pre order the phone which have no wireless accounts with Rogers. Also just too add below is the meaning of the statues .

- If your status is "OPEN", your reservation has been made and we are awaiting product from our supplier. At this time you can change your pick-up location, contact email address or cancel your reservation.
- If your status is "CANCELLED", your reservation has been cancelled and your reservation fee will be credited back to your account.
- If your status is "IN PROGRESS", we have begun the shipment process and you will not be able to edit or cancel your reservation any longer. The next email you will get will be the one that confirms shipment to the store you chose.
- If your status is "SHIPPED", your device has left our warehouse and is on its way to the store you chose. Keep in mind that you can NOT reserve a device via calling them. It can ONLY happen if the reservation system is down but they will to reserve it via online. Plus if you reserve it via phone, you will NOT see your status or know what number you are VS reserving it online.


2). Please keep in mind that if you pick a Rogers Authorized dealership, you may not be able to get the device soon after it ships. This has been the main issue with all the iPhone reservations & most of the other devices which have been on the reservation system. I would suggest you pick a Local Rogers store (Corporate Rogers store or Rogers Plus) to go to get it. When the Rogers warehouse sends it out, the Rogers stores will get them first. Some of the Rogers Authorized dealers have their own warehouse in which the devices will go to. After that there is no tracking until the device ships from that warehouse & goes to the store & they call you. You can also look for your FlexTab aka upgrade fee online via My Rogers or contact Rogers & they will let you know.


3). Also remember you are going to have to put down a $40 fee to reserve the device. Once it ships out, the $40 fee will be reversed back into your account. IF you want to cancel your reservation, that $40 will also be credit back to you. So either way you will get that $40 back. Also remember you may NOT be the first to get the phone if you have a high number or a low one. The Reservation system is made to have a device reserved for you as the stores will be sold out. If your reservation status still says “ OPEN” after launch & a store has a device in stock, you can still go in the store & get it. Then come back home & cancel the reservation online. If the status is “ IN PROGRESS” & you get a device via a store that have one for u, you have to wait until it ships out & then tell the store that u picked u do not want it. Do reemember the reservation number is CANADA - WIDE. This means if lets say you are #45 in line for the black one, you are #45 for that GB , color & model Canada wide. Also keep in mine you have to be the account holder in order to pick up the device at the store. No one else can. You can try adding a family member as Level on the account but some stores will decline it.

4) .For Corporate / Business customers. You guys will have a different line then regular customers do. This means you guys have a few different statutes then regular customers do. Also keep in mind for the past few years there has been issues / confuses about business customers getting the phones via the reservation. You guys will be getting them the day of launch or after depending on your status & what goes on.

 

5). They also started last year a pre ordering system done online being charged on your CC ( Credit card) imminently and having the device shipped to your home instead. Last year with the iPhone 7 / 7 Plus the ones that picked this way got it the day of launch or day after launch but only a few did. Not everyone.  This way is a good way but sadly u do not see any status updates like u do with the reservation system and only get a confirmation email and a shipment email. ( some did not get any email until the unit got shipped with QMS or UPS)

Let's make this thread the only thread for the Note 8 please and if you guys have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me and I'll gladly be able to help!Smiley HappyCat Happy

And let's keep in mind, the USA offer says " up to $ 425" which suggests the credit is based on the value of the phone exchanged. If $ 425 is for the highest level phone, would you exchange your S8+ for a $ 425 credit ??

 

I can't believe they priced this phone at $ 1300.

Hello @kavkaz

The reason why is because those don't have the extended warranty on them and what i offer is a bit more then some others. (LED Case by Samsung, Clear view case by Samsung, 2 Spigen cases, Unused accessories including another pair of the same headphones and also another pair of the Type C USB cable.) lol

Like some others, my MYROGERS page no longer has the " device reservation " option on it. Don't know why. I have to keep going through the Search function to get it. Anyone with the same issue and anyone know where to find it directly ( without going through search ) ?

Hello @wpd1

Mine has been removed as well. Same with my sisters. I think it's either under maintenance or something.

The original link is via the My Rogers portal.

Hello @kavkaz

Its true however in the states they went ahead and announced it and gave all the details. Here kn Canada they have yet done anything other then saying they will offer something.. Who knows what that something may be.

This is why I said Samsung Canada is not organized and always does this. Even with the Note 7 last year, we had issues retuning them yet the US got a apology and even had safe places to drop it off. Took Samsung Canada a while to even do anything lol. Not even going to mention that some of us still have the Note 7 at home as we can not return it due to the stores not accepting ur and call centers promising boxes to ship it out to them and never receiving those boxes or screw ups.

What kind of screen saver is everyone using on there edge phones? Any recommendations?

I'm hoping it's a bit different than the US because I don't want to have to buy the device from Samsung directly as I want to be able to use the Wifi Calling features from Rogers which I believe means I need to buy it from them (or it's much easier if you buy it from Rogers).

 

I wish they would just announce what it will be, they are probably scrambling trying to find what they have a surplus stock of to offer that up lol

Hello @JeromeM

Most likely trying to work with the carriers on trying to figure this out and the carriers not accepting the offer or something.

WiFi Calling and VOLTE works only on devices you by directly from Rogers. So a unlocked phone from Samsung won't work.

The exchange rate today is 1.25. The phone is selling in the USA for $ 929. In Canada, it's selling for $ 1299. Based on exchange alone, we should be paying +/- $ 1161.25. Clearly, we are being bent over the rail.

Hello @wpd1

What else is new. Believe me, working at Best Buy I can see how things get upped like that on pricing and even with the manufacturers too.

Hello @comcry

I am using the Automobileromance and Modern_black Themes on my S8+. Also I have a 4K wallpaper on my display.

They (any company really) are obviously going to hedge the exchange to their benefit, and it's not only exchange rates I'm sure there's other things to consider not just the cost of goods.

dont forget 250 bpts for FX conversion. 

 

plus higher per item storage and delivery costs - last year they only sold 40K units in canada for N7, compared to hundreds of thousands in US.

 

either way, it will suck if they offer us something like "buy $1500 TV and get free bluetooth speaker" when you DONT need a TV or the speaker 😉

Hello @kavkaz

Yeah that is true. We shall see what they actually offer. If the offer I, isn't any good I won't even bother.
