Got my confirmation right after I submitted the info at 9:27 this morning, and got the tracking at 3:30 this afternoon.
If you guys use gmail, check your promotions tab. All of the test drive emails come from noreply@samsungpromotions.com and get shoved in the promotions tab for some reason. Even though I normally use iCloud, I used gmail for this and was concerned that I didn't get anything until I checked promotions.
I received an email in the morning saying test phones were available. Signed up and got a confirmation email right away. Got the shipping notification within a few hours. Phone should be delivered sometime tomorrow. I have no plan on leaving my 6s plus but am interested to try the 6 edge+.
No email on iCloud as well. Looks like they came to know that I hate Samsung so much. lol
Same here. Signed up and got no email. :/ Really wanted to try out the Note 5.
I got the email on Tuesday as well and signed up and they shipped it the next day. It will arrive today.
You are doing this on an iPhone, right? Next it would ask you below that which phone you want. If you want to take advantage of this, I suggest you do it soon as many of the phones are now unavailable.

Should have gotten mine yesterday but no one was there to sign. Someone should be home today, but if not I'll just stop by the FedEx hub since it's only 15 minutes away.
So true, ios devices allow me to play my fave game of hunt the back key, I know it should be in the top left, but not always.. Where is it today...
Still.... Top left.. On a 6 plus.. Awkward or what..
And bug free, give over, After the recent disasters of ios releases.. You keep telling yourself that...
I've been plying with it for a day now, and I've got to say that I'm really impressed. They give a cable and the transfer software installed to import everything directly from your iPhone. Everything went without a hitch. I got the Note 5 and I really like it. I do have a couple of things I don't like. The back is a fingerprint magnet. I don't like the shiny back. Also, there's virtually no bezel on the sides of the screen and it's really easy to register a press unless you really hold it carefully. I'm going to be putting a slim case on it, so I don't think either will be an issue then. We'll see how I feel after a couple of weeks, but so far, so good. One thing I noticed right away is that the signal strength is much better. I'm on T-Mobile and where I had 1 bar with my iPhone, I have 3 on the Note. I just drove through an area earlier today that's a dead zone for the iPhone, and the Note still had 2 bars.
I have Jump! on demand, so I just might make the switch if I keep liking it. I have the Apple Watch though, so that will be an issue.
The physical design of the phone is awesome, no denying that. As soon as I opened the box I begin to wonder if I'd actually trade my iPhone in for it, but android is not my forte at all. It's amazing how much higher quality the apps are on iOS, even Google's own.
Same here. Tried putting my info in and I keep getting a "Oops something went wrong page". Oh well maybe it's not meant to be.
i got the phone. and its horrible. the front camera looks like i am not real. and its too shiny. not at all good build quality. i got the s6 edge+
