I see that the prices of the "cheaper" contracts are gradually climbing to meet the prices of the ridiculous ones. The carrot that was dangling for me earlier is now well and truly gone, unless prices drop again, which doesn't seem likely in the face of high demand.
**** The Official Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ Thread ****
- Thread starter CaptainComedy
- Start date
So got a play with an 8+ in CPW yesterday and i have to say I really don't think I'm missing out on anything. To echo most others yes the screen looks amazing but the rest of the hardware doesn't work for me. To get a good grip on it without touching the curved sides is a nightmare, it's too tall/long both in terms of ergonomics and it just plain looks odd. Still too much Samsung faff on it as well.
I will say what did quietly impress me in store, the Galaxy A5! A great wee handset for a fraction of the cost. For me now though, I'll stick with my Pixel XL.

Only carphone warehouse give the free speaker
and they had to fight tooth and nail for that apparently loland mobiles.co.uk ...Only carphone warehouse give the free speaker
A few places give it but i went to cfw. Only £5 cash back on quid or but got £50 on the three sim card.
Just seen this on hukd:
http://www.chitterchatter.co.uk/samsung/samsung-galaxy-s8-pre-order-ee-4g-sf-902.php
+3% quidco cashback as well, bringing the actual price to under £620.
And then... out of stock
.
The S8+ is in stock though if anyone wanted that, shame it's too big for me.
---------
Also, so much for speaker worth £99 for anyone who thinks about selling it, Samsung themselves are selling it for £50-59 hahaha (rainforest)

The AKG earphones are a standard in-box item
I thought this too when researching...But if you look at the pics and compare the CPW pics with the Amazon pics I think the Amazon one is maybe an older model?

Just like the earphone's..they won't be worth anywhere near rrp anyway. Better out there for the money.
I don't doubt that at all ha
A lot of earphones from AKG are available for the £40 mark so probably really just one of them redesigned a bit
Probably still better than the Samsung ones though at least
Think I'll just hold out for release and hope for a better deal, maybe one of the other colours as well. Or just hope to get one on MM for around £550ish.
Hope the £639 s8 comes back in stock perhaps, with £620 after cashback, sell earphones for £40, Note 4 fot £130 and the upgrade should only cost me about £450.
S8+ just doesn't seem to be worth it.
And I'm sure the AKG will be amazing for most people, compared to stock or £14.99 models they use, unfortunately probably not even going to be close to ie80s and other top end models.

Ive just ordered and gone through TCB as they was offering 3.15% cashback.

Thanks mate, just ordered as well through quidco as I have premium acc and they give 3% as well.
I was hovering over oneplus3t refresh deal but wasn't entirely happy about some of the specs.
Just chatter to them and they confirmed these will be shipped to be delivered for 21st as well.
