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!

Guys what's your favourite case. The S8+ I swapped for came with the Samsung LED Flip. Not into flip cases and like slim and not bulky cases. Was thinking of getting the Spigen Neo Hybrid.

What screen protector is everyone using? I got a generic Klearlook one and it's terrible... Leaving a halo effect and you can see the stickiness around the border 😞

Hello @Jk1m

I am not using one Atm but @RAwhite1987 told me that Otterbox has their screen protector out so I'll be buying that one Tomorrow!

Hello @Meowmix,

Very nice... Hope it doesn't leave any halo effect and you don't see any adhesive around the borders. Where will you be buying it? Also please let me know if you recommend it. Thanks Meowmix!

Hello @Dx9

Alrighty! It's a nice case indeed!

It is crystal clear, hard plastic and . near indestructible.

We got it at a local asian mall in Toronto but if you are not from the GTA you will have to order it from ca.mobilefun.com or the US otterbox site.

Bestbuy, Rogers etc don't sell them yet and likely won't for months.

Also, it is easy to put on.

I highly recommend it.

Hello @Jk1m

Pacific mall has them and I believe Otterbox US has them too.

Hello @RAwhite1987

When you say hard plastic do you mean tempered glass? Also, do you see any adhesive around the edges? I see on the mobilefun website it's going for $54.99 costs more than my spigen neo hybrid case lol... Yeah I live in the GTA and assuming you're talking about pacific mall? How much was it there?

How much is it at Pacific Mall? Also, do you recommend any thinner and protective cases like the spigen neo hybrid?

Re: Samsung Galaxy S8 / S8+ Reservation numbers / Questions

RAwhite1987

Yes Pacific Mall. 50 even was the cost and they will put it on. It has an adhesive backing but when you put it on you can't even tell.

The store is right at the top of the escalator at the south entrance to pacific mall.

Yes it is tempered glass.

Hello @Jk1m

I would suggest that one. It's $50 for them to put it on for u and to get it. Honestly the other one would be the armor case at that point from Spigen.

Nice I know which store you talking about.

I saw some Otterbox alpha pictures and it looks like it doesn't have any cutouts at the top... Will that effect the iris scanner and front camera? Also, is it case friendly? I have a spigen neo hybrid.

Thanks!

You know I really liked my iPhone 7 Plus but . this phone is sick. I thought I wasn't going to go back to Sammy after the Note 7. Loved that phone so much and was so bummed having to send it back.

Iris scanner has been great. Battery life has been awesome also on the 8+. Really enjoying the phone.

Mar 30 - I signed up for the pre-order gifts (Gear VR & Controller).

Apr 19 - I registered my new S8+ and got email confirmation from Samsung.

 

I still haven't received my Gear VR. Should I be worried? Thx.
