The "I Got Mine!" and First Impressions Thread

It's too bad that so many people are poo-pooing the yellow S Pen with the blue phone, sight unseen. I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt until I see it. I can't imagine Samsung offering it without having done focus groups to tweak the color scheme. I'm really not buying it for the colors anyway - but for the capability of the phone.

Your points are valid Chiefy, if that's what you're looking for. However, I have seen it on display. I personally hate yellow. If I am going to pay top dollar for something, it has to completely appeal to me.

Tracking my phone, it was in the city next to me 3 hours ago. As of 20 minutes ago, it arrived at the FedEx facility in my city, but it still says scheduled for delivery tomorrow by 4:30. Hoping They'll surprise me and deliver it today! Funny thing is I wasn't even planning on getting this phone, I was gonna skip and wait for next year, but the opportunity came up for me to get it, and now I'm excited as ever! I'm refreshing the dang FedEx tracking page every 2 minutes :D:D

EDIT: 9 minutes after I posted this, I refreshed again and it now says out for delivery today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How come the pen for the blue version is yellow, but for the other colours, the pen matches?

DARN GOOD QUESTION! I'm sure Samsung has an answer for you!

Meanwhile, here's the FIRST LOOK at the blue Note9 in this gorgeous, gold-accented silicone case!
