Let's share the excitement. I'm staying up till the Samsung pre-order link goes live, who else. Everyone is welcome in this thread if you have something to add or just want to chat about the new phones. This is your one stop shop for pre-orders, order confirmations, shipping notifications, the holy grail of device deliveries. Oh, and we can't have a thread like this without unboxing videos and first impressions.

If you have something good I'm going to add it to the OP here. I'll also be watching the Accessories, Cases, Chargers, and More thread and adding anything interesting over there into this thread.

So let's have fun and get this party started.

I've ordered, let the wait begin.

 

I have a confirmation email, and checked my bank account and they already pulled the funds. It's real now. This is my first time doing the minute perorders open preorder since the 2012 Nexus 7.

 

LOL, glad I didn't wait for a reminder from Samsung. Only about 7 hours late.

 

Day 1. I'm frantically hunting for cases, chargers, and possibly a new car mount that will do Qi charging. I will survive.

 

Well, looks like that turned out to be a glitch in the system.

 

I'll make a note here for anyone else that ordered from Samsung before the pre-order email came out. The $25 promotion expires on 3/31, and the $100 promotion for pre ordering the phone will come via email 14-21 days after you get the phone. With an expected arrival date of 3/5 or 3/6 depending on your shipping, that puts the credit email at around 3/20 - 3/27, or very close to the expiration of the $25 discount code.

I didn't want to risk forgetting about the $25 so I pulled the trigger on the 25W Wireless Portable Battery since I was going to get one anyway. I'll post in the accessories thread when I get it, as well as an update when I can play with it with the S20.

 

I only use a car mount when using navigation, but like @olbriar said, it's nice to offset the battery drain on long trips.

 

My uConnect handles calls and texts well enough, so in the winter my phone is in my jacket pocket and in the summer it's in a cup holder.

Now I'm getting antsy for the big zoom on the S20. I wonder how much better of a shot I could have gotten with the 20.

Bah, pic didn't show in the quote.
