I got a blue Galaxy Note on AT&T. Beautiful phone that feels better in hand than my 6 plus because of the curves. I've been playing with it for a bit and I'm rather surprised at how far Android has come. It's polished, fast, pretty, and functional. iOS is lacking compared to this in more than a few ways. Anyone who says Android is terrible at this point either hasn't used it or is heavily biased against it. I wouldn't switch, but this isn't the same OS it was even two or three years ago.

Package finally showed up & started moving a few hours ago from Irving, Texas. However, no actual e-mail with the order number from Samsung yet lol. FedEx has pushed the delivery date to Thursday by 4:30 PM ;_;
 
Unfortunately I don't, I put in the order around 6 AM on Friday EST. Is there a way to find your order without calling Sammy?
Go to Fedex.com. If you get the "Choose Your Country" splash page, choose USA (of course). On the next page hover cursor over Track. Choose "Track by Reference" in the drop down menu. Enter "Samsung Trial Program" (minus the quotes) in the big text box. Change Destination Country to United States and then enter the shipping zip code. Tap Track and your package should come up...

This worked for me. Very helpful.

I'm with you. Haven't had an Android since my Galaxy Nexus days, and it has certainly come a very long way. I received a white VZW Note 5 and it feels great in hand. That's been one of my main gripes with the 6 Plus: Apple need to stop focusing on thinness and explore comfort. I'm far too entrenched in the OSX and iOS ecosystem to switch, but this is an honest to goodness great phone. Of course, the rub with Samsung has always been long term performance, in my experience.
 
Mine is arriving tomorrow even tho yesterday it said it would arrive today

EDIT: just received an email from them.

I signed up but haven't received an email notification from Samsung about my phone shipping. I just tried checking fedex.com and there is a package coming from "Samsung Trial Program" to my zip code. There are no other shipments listed, and it's scheduled for delivery tomorrow. We'll see if it is mine.
 
finally got a tracking number, looks like ill get it tomorrow 8-27, samsung says by 8-26 but whatever, i need to call fedex for a late delivery since so will be home till late afternoon.

I have seen their OS, and as much as I tried, I just can't like it.
It also feels I'm being spied by someone.

so they just hide it less :p

Go read Apple's terms and services. Its mostly the same. Both collect similar data points for their services to work. Google just collects a lot more of it.
 
Just want to let those who are in the limbo, my order was 96* and finally today i checked the fedex tracking site and i will get my phone on Friday, but still no Email from Samsung i am guessing they send the email as soon as Fedex actually ships the phone.

EDIT* just got another update and it seems they're indeed shipping overnight so i will get it tomorrow morning
