Well played, Samsung. Won't be buying, but you keep encouraging strong competition &, in the end, help improve the smartphone landscape & hence the devices I intend to purchase.
Got a tip for us?

I preordered, was waiting for Pixel 3 XL, but it looks so bad so this seems better to me for now.
It will implode in hate
I cannot wait to give this Note9 a go. I am still not sure if I will be getting it, very much on the fence here!
Does anyone know if this uses the faster flash drive? 3.0 I think was being rumored, but haven’t seen it mentioned anywhere.
I'm seriously tempted.. the Note 9 or wait and see what Apple's "X Plus" looks (costs) like!? Argh!
I am weak and have no will power 
Got my pre-order in for the blue (rather have black) 128.

The temptation was there for me but I resisted, lol.
I wait for you and the other Note 9 buyers to give us your thoughts
I'm a bit jealous, it looks like an awesome.e device.
You have more willpower than me!Haha, I knew it!

It will certainly drop in price but is still a damn good phone.
As for the Note 9, Samsung spared no expenses, it's a flagship phone in every sense with no feature left out. The notch free face looks cleaner than anything out there.
Having watched all the hands on vids I could find, actually the display dimensions/size looks quite visibly different from the Note 8. I know it's only a millimeter here and there but with the thinner bezels and a tiny bit more width I'm actually liking the 9 a lot more. Doesn't look quite as unnaturally long as the 8. I'm really tempted at this point.
How do I get this £300 off code!?
That will help my decision.
I had a bit of a bad experience when with the S9 which had to be replaced twice. Unlike Apple, I had to deal with their online team and be without the phone twice.
As good will, they sent me a couple of £150 discount codes and a 10% off code for use on their online store for phones only.
Fair enough! Lucky you.
I need to find someway to reduce the RRP.
Also have an old iPhone 5c that I can trade in for £150. So it’s a good buy and the unboxing videos are tempting me...
I just received a text from EE saying I use my S6 Edge+ as a trade-in to buy the S9 without putting down £150.
So you could basically knock £500 off?
That sounds like a phenomenal deal, if you can do it.
I'm waiting for release, then will see if I can get the 8gb version from my T-mobile store. Hopefully turning in my S9+ on JOD for the Note 9 8gb version will still be completely free.
Exact boat I am in.
Throw on that BB will do a solid trade in offer for an 6S Plus I have sitting around, 0% financing, and most likely able to sell if needed for more than purchase.....I am tempted to say the least.
Hoping BB or someone gets them in stores though soon so I can feel it in the hand.
TMO is changing JOD all the time and making it harder to use....they want more down to use JOD. I think they just changed their JOD policies.
Sounds like a good deal there mate if you like the Note 9.. your getting nearly 50% off net.
I can only manage only 20% off at launch for my efforts.. but wondering if I should wait it out for X Plus in September instead.. I think if the retailers included the free charger for the Note 9 instead of the galaxy Watch it would have pushed me over the line.
Saving grace is.. I have a S9 now and the user experience wouldn't be million miles away (minus S Pen functionality).
Yea I remember there was talk of a policy change last year that suppose to start in August. Forgot the details though.
But for the past several JOD jumps, including the S9+. I was able to trade my previous phone for a new flagship with no cost at release day. But pre-orders have always required money down. So hopefully it's the same. But I'm expecting to probably put something down for the 8gb version, would be lucky if I can get that for no cost too.
