Samsung Galaxy S8 / S8+ Reservation numbers / Questions

Hey everyone!!Smiley Happy

Once again its the time of the year that Samsung announces their new Galaxy S line up. I am happy to announce that Samsung this morning announced the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+!. The device has a breathe taking new design which includes 88% screen ration, S8 is 5'7 inch screen and the S8+ is 6'2 inch screen, Fingerprint sensor on the back and new Snapdragon processor. Also comes in different colors and includes more features!! 



1). Once Rogers has announce when they will add the Samsung Galaxy S8 / S8+ to the reservation list & the day comes, sign into your My Rogers account - Click on the account you want to access ( Some have multiple accounts ) - click on your number ( if you have multiple numbers) - scroll down and click on Device Reservation. Click that & it will take you to the page. Once there you will need to pick which device you want and it wil,l show you a list which will include the Samsung Galaxy S8 / S8+ in 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 . The reservation list is different statues and numbers for all models / colors and groups ( Business, Consumer and pre orders have different line ups and numbers.)

- 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 or going to the store. 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. The store can help you log into ur account and let u do it but there is no pre order list in store.


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 / confusen 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.

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

 

 

EDIT - The phone is available in Midnight Black and Orchid Gray in Canada. Maple Gold, Tactic Silver and Coral Blue, along with Midnight Black and Orchid Gray colour variants will be available in the U.S. and other markets. 

 

So sadly we are only getting the Midnight Black and Orichrd Gray in Canada. Later on we will get the other colors hopefully. 

 

EDIT 2 - In Canada the S8 is set to start at $1,035 CAD with the S8+ costing $1,115. Carrier pricing is not avialable  at the moment. Soon it will be. 

 

EDIT 3 - April 21st is when the S8 / S8+ will be launched!

There is an app that must have come with the S8+    Sys-I

 

Its pretty awesome app. 

You can see everything about your phone in real time.

 OS

Internal Storage

Java VM

Processor

Memory

Display

Hardware

Battery Stats - everything is show from voltage to temp

Network Info

Sensors - there are 2 screens full of sensors ??

GPU

 

Of note; under DEVICE - Memory you will see

Total RAM: 3372 MB

Free RAM 85? +/- 5MB

There is a little note just above that reads ;

Note: Total RAM seen here may be different than advertised due to shared GPU memory

That sorta sucks.  The GPU should have had its own dedicated VRAM

 

Also the Device looks like it was codename "dream2qltecan"

 

Just thought this might be intersting for folks with phones on here.

@Meowmix 

hope this is not a repeat, gotta keep your alcohol conumption down.

Ok so I got my Spigen Neo Hybrid Case. Pretty nice. Also got my Fast Charge Stand and picked up a second Samsung Fast Charger AC adapter. Wasn't going to get a screen protector but decided on the expensive ZAGG Curved Glass. $50. This g went on perfectly and no ghosting on the curves. Paid $50 but looks mint

I have a Zagg unopened, but after reading a lot of the reviews, it's still unopened.  Can you update us in a week or two to see if you still like it?  Lots of reviews have it falling off in a day or two, screen becoming unresponsive, etc.

Hello @Dx9

Very nice!! I got my Alpha Glass screen protector ( waiting for another one as well) and getting my Otterbox Commuter case tomorrow! I used the Hybrid neo case but I need a bit more protection overall as where I work, I drop my phone sometimes or hit it on the pocket.

No problem. Will see how the ZAGG goes

Hello @DeanD

Thats not the only screen protector thay is having issues. Seems like the Otterbox Alpha glass screen protector is having the same issues as well. Although it's only made for Otterbox cases, many have reported the screen protector coming off, cracking when removing the case. Thus why i got two for $11 from Otterbox ( got a discount from them as i paid $15 for the Commuter case and $11 for both screen protectors). They also said if it fails, i can get them to ship me another one and just pay the shipping which is fine with me.

With the ZAGG I have never seen something so easy. Comes with a red template that goes around your phone and and all you do is just align it right there. Never been so easy. I honestly don't know how people say it falls off in a couple days. Case friendly with the Spigen for sure. Case doesn't touch the glass. I'll update you but this thing has been great. I put it on last night.

Hello @Dx9

Very nice! I'm not putting mine on yet as Rogers will be sending me another S8+ as a swap toward mine as i have the red tint issue. So the screen protector from Otterbox will be installed on that one once it comes in!

Hi!
So this just happened. I just received an email from UPS saying that I have a package coming tomorrow but it doesn't say the sender's name. I think it will be the Gear VR with controller.

Is it the same for every one else?

Hello @gogol

Yes that is correct. It comes from UPS the email and it's from another sender on behalf of Samsung Canada.

I think I will make a Youtube video melting, exploding or otherwise testing the device. 

I wonder if it will survive a ball of molten metal?

I just noticed the sender of the Gear VR. It says THE GRISTMILL MARKETING CO.

Is the same for everyone?
