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

Haha, it's impossible to keep on top.

On a side note, does anyone have a recommendation on a screen protector, that will work with a case? I'd like a glass one, just with the assumption that it'll work better with the s pen

Hello @Awcrimety

Honestly don't get a glass one.. On my S8+ and thousands others even with the Otterbox Alpha and the Zagg one they do NOT stick on the sides and come off weeks after which is useless. They also leave a glare affect when putting it on. So not worth it. Search it up. It's due to the edge design.

How do the other types fair with a stylus? Is it better to just use nothing?

Hello @Awcrimety

I would go for a plastic screen protector or nothing to be honest.

I am using the LED Case from Samsung on my S8+ and when I had the Note 7 I was using either the Spigen case or the backpack battery case. No screen protector.

Alright, thanks! I guess I'll order some plastic ones, and if they're annoying, will go with nothing. Mostly just worried about it in my pocket. If I went with a wallet style, it would be fine, but then it probably won't FIT in my pocket

Hello @Awcrimety

The T-Mobile BOGO is if you are paying for two lines on a shared plan. You pay for each phone up front and agree to a two year plan for both phones. In 8 weeks, they send you a promo card equal to the value of the second phone. Doesn't have to be a Note 8. Wouldn't see anything like that from Rogers, Bell, etc...

I think Samsung Canada keeps hiring the snooze button on their Note 8 alarm. Still no word on any Note 7 incentive.

Hello @wpd1

Many are saying that they have contacted Samsung Canada via email or live chat and been told we are getting something but no date given or what. Seems like Samsung Canada is becoming more lazy then anything to actually give us anything here.

I also not using anything on my s8 plus. Tried two or three plastic ones but nothing meet my expectations. Screen is too beautiful to cover. I do not have a flip case either. I'm just careful. Sometimes it's a pain but this phone is too beautiful to hide! 😂

Hi!

Verizon confirms it’s started shipping the Galaxy Note 8 :

The same for T-Mobile and Sprint.

Is it the same in Canada?

Bonne journée!

I got my update status and in the email it's showing the expected rank I'm at. When I went on the reserve status site for the sake of fun it shows there is no reservation under my number. By curiosity I've been going there everyday so I know I was at the right place. Real concern or another glitch ?

Hello @Roglebo

No. This is only the two US carriers.

Hello @Jeanjules

Its a glitch. It happens sometimes. It happens with me multiple times on all the reservations I have done.

Hello @stevenewman2508

Don't know where you are getting that from but on Bell's Ontario website it's showing

" - $549.99
2-year term

Requires a minimum of 2 GB ($25/mo.) of data per account plus a minimum of $70/mo. per user.

- $749.99
2-year term

Requires a minimum of 2 GB ($25/mo.) of data per account plus a minimum of $60/mo. per user.


$1,349.99
No term"

Most likely you are either in MB or QB seeing it. Also a reminder. Rogers does NOT price match anymore they removed this option 2 years ago.

Bell quebec bud sorry i did not mention that

Hello @stevenewman2508

Thats why. Unfortunately if you are Ontario or any part of Canada you can't price match that.

If you are on QB then Roger I do believe does but u have to double check. Here in Ontario, Alberta and Bc they do not price match.

Just called in last night and the retention dept gave me 100 dollar credit
