Hey everyone!
As you noticed today Samsung announced the Galaxy Note 5. I watched the announcement at work while it was going on. Here are some specs on it!
Rogers will be selling it for $359.99 on a 2-year term, $860 no-term and the reservation system will be open as of August 14th.
Rogers will be releasing this device ON August 21st in 32GB sapphire black it seems but hopefully they add the more GB later on.
If you have any questions or concerns please post ANYTHING about the Note 5 and reservations here please and i will be able to assist you with any questions you have!
Thanks! 🙂

anyone know for the free wireless charger with the online reservation, is it the new fast wireless charging pad, or is it the older wireless charging pad they had for the S6?

The way Rogers positioned this entire system is faulty
They are now using the entire wireless charger thing as appeasement for all of us who are angry about not getting their devices on launch day. They should have been upfront with the promotion.
RESERVE YOUR NOTE 5 EARLY, GET IT AFTER LAUNCH DAY (EXACT DATE UNKNOWN), BUT YOU'LL GET A WIRELESS CHARGER FOR FREE!
not:
RESERVE YOUR NOTE 5 EARLY, PAY US A 40 DOLLAR RESEVATION FEE. GO ON BELIEVING THAT YOU MIGHT BE THE FIRST TO HAVE IT. WHOOPS, HA HA, OTHER PEPOPLE CAN WALK IN AND BUY IT BEFORE YOU CAN! WE'RE GOING BLAME SAMSUNG, AND TAKE NO ACCOUNTABILITY THAT WE DECIEVED YOU, BUT STOP YOUR WHINNING YOU ARE GETTING A WIRELESS CHARGER THAT HE DIDN'T.

Hello @jkffghjfghjfgjh
They did post that in the start but many failed to read the fine print & the Rogers Reservation FAQ which is not Rogers fault as every customer knew to read those... Many do not read them so its not really Rogers fault if customers fail to read it.
I do agree Rogers should atleast say something instead of being silent but there isn't much the mods can say unless they get something from the office.
The Wireless charging unit was free for the S6 but this didnt happen. The iPhone 6 had a free wireless charger but this didnt happen. The S5 had a Suretap $50 pre loaded mastercard but this didn't happen. They aren't using this because of the problems.
Again if u want the device, you are free to go get it at ur local store but the wireless charging unit is stopping u it seems. I agree that the resevation system has its flaws but looking at Bell, they are doing the same to their customers today. So who knows what is truly going on

Do they ship on weekends? Or only weekdays?

Hello @rawr4444
They do only ship weekdays but Rogers has a agreement with UPS to deliver the devices on Saturdays if the device has been shipped out Friday.

I feel that we all have working phones so we need to just get ready to love our new one coming, when you have lemons you make lemonade... but you enjoy the drink! 😊

Hello @Patrick52
I agree. If you have a working phone, i am sure u can wait a extra couple of days. Yes i agree that its not that but u reserve a device & should get it but lets be honest here, we are all getting worked up on this when reality is that if u want it, go to the store & get it. No one is holding anyone back other then people saying that Rogers is doing this & then giving them a free charger ( which has done this for many devices before) & such.. Yes we are ready to love our new devices & such but lets take a breather too!
Lets all just calm down & enjoy our weekends. If u want the device, just head to a Best Buy or ur local Rogers store & get it!

Some of us don't have working phones. I've literally been dropping calls for the last month and my gps doesn't work. So not everyone is in the same situation like you with a working phone so have some sympathy for the rest of us!

@Meowmix Yeah, my issue I was raising is that no stores have the 64GB model. Oh well - it is the way it is I guess. I called about 20 Rogers authorized dealers and all Best Buys with no luck. Maybe I'll get up tomorrow and try again to see if they are getting Friday shipments in on Saturday. Thanks for your feedback!

are you saying there is no difference between the fast wireless charging pad and the regular charging pad except for the wall plug?
the fast charging pad is clearly labeled fast charge and my understanding was that there is something different about the coils in the fast charge pad vs the regular wireless charge pad samsung gave with the S6

Hi,
I just wanted to follow up on this "free" wireless charger that is being offered by Rogers:
1. Is it only applicable to online reservation, whereby, you have to either renew your existing contract for the share everything plan or can this be applicable to "buy-out-right" devices and BYOD customers? How about corporate reservations as well, does the rule change if you are either renewing the contract or BYOD pricing of the H/W purchase?
3. On Samsung Page, the "fast" wireless charger is listed as the following:
Fast Charge Wireless Charging Pad
White Model #: EP-PN920TWEGUS
Black Model #: EP-PN920TBEGUS
URL: http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EP-PN920TBEGUS
Is this the same one we are getting?
