Got a text earlier, mine has arrived in store for me to collect tomorrow.. Got to wait until lunch to pop out though.

Edit; O2 for mine.. Ordered in store on the weekend after launch.

My S8+ has been collected by DHL/UKMail for delivery tomorrow. Direct from Samsung UK.

Well I ordered mine at the end of March, no tracking number still, the recent orders page on Myo2 says the information is unavailable. No communication whatsoever from them, so I've no idea what's happening, when I'm getting mine or if I'm getting it at all!!!!

DPD delivery expected between 11:10 and 12:10

I just hope that gangs of organised thieves aren't currently following DPD vans around the country, there has to be some serious cash in those things today.

Mobile Phones Direct saying their shipment of S8/S8+ arrived too late yesterday, so won't be shipped out until today, arriving tomorrow. They claim to have emailed me yesterday, but no trace of it.

Mine's 15 min away according to the DPD website!

No word from Carphone Warehouse for me either..

[TheOversteerLever]

It's here. Thanks DPD - quicker than expected! Now to unbox it and have a play...

Worst photo ever, I know! It's hard to take photos of objects that aren't your own face when your rear camera doesn't work!

Lucky!

Richard is currently making delivery number 44, I am delivery 56. Richard is approximately 45 minutes away.

I'm watching Richard on the map, Richard isn't moving.

Currently charging before first switch-on - arrived 55% charged. The adapters are appreciated and I'm pleased to see the AKGs came (HTC swapped out Beats for their own branded ones on a previous phone), also in the box was the usual quick start guide and the little tool for pushing out the sim / SD tray.

I got a free 64GB Micro SD with mine.

Indeed. I used to mock Smart phones, and the people who flaunted them at every opportunity.

But now I sport one myself.

No, its not a telephone. Its a major source of income for Samsung.

If you were making that sort of money from a product you'd make a song and dance of it too..

I think it is a very American thing, if ever you have seen the fiasco that is a Barret Jackson car auction.....

Anyone know how to claim the free speaker thing with Carphone Warehouse?

There's nothing that I can see on their site...

O2 say there should be a leaflet with details - It's some JBL thing worth £120 (about a fiver, then....)

If not I will be straight onto their customer services.

Nice phone. It's early days but so far I'm impressed.

One thing that's annoying me is how it won't let me move my weather/clock widget nearer to the top of the screen! Not the end of the world, I know but it's frustrating me.

Mobilephonesdirect have given me the tracking number and should be here tomorrow

Use another launcher?
