Its been like this for me for a while. And their technical support staff are borderline bread dead so don't expect it to be fixed anytime soon.
Got a tip for us?

That's probably the phone. Most Samsung phone orders in the US ship from Coppell.
I received the shipped/dispatch notification from Samsung UK last Thursday with a DPD tracking code. However this code is still not active.
I am hoping for an earlier delivery than Friday. Fingers crossed.
On a side note, I already received the trade in pack to send off my old Samsung.
Aren't all S21 Ultra colors frosted and not just black? If so, wouldn't that make them all fingerprint repellent and more so for the lighter colors since it's even less visible?

Just got an update from Samsung. All my items have shipped and should be here Wednesday.
It really isn’t unless you are a super hardcore power user and need the 512GB.
I had both versions of s20 ultra last year, 12gb and 16gb and noticed no difference at all in my day to day use
Its not slippery IMO. If it is its just because of the sheer size of the phone. I held my iPhone 12 up to it and it honestly doesn't feel like its that much bigger!
My S21 Ultra comes tomorrow! I can't wait, gonna be a long 24 hours!
I wouldn't bother unless you really need the storage space. 16GB really isn't needed on a phone
Agreed. Its specs for the sake of specs. Doesn't improve the user experience.
Pre-ordered phantom black S21+. I am weak. Delivers by Feb 3.

Spare a thought for us in the UK, we are supposed to have a full 48hrs longer to wait
It's more for DeX. Plus, camera does a lot of processing that takes up memory and can cause other apps to close on devices without sufficient memory. Better to have more than less.
I ordered the 256GB moments after the deal went live, and I have to wait about 2 more weeks.
I could have had the 128 GB day one.
Oh well
Sure, its always better to have more. But the difference between 12GB of RAM and 16GB of RAM on a smartphone is almost unnoticeable in day-to-day use.
When I get my 12GB version I'll try to do somewhat scientific tests to determine what the worst case memory usage is when simultaneously using DeX, taking pictures/videos with director's view, using object eraser, running apps, etc.
