So I just called to check with Vodafone and apparently NO orders for the S8 in Black or Gray are getting delivered till the 28th!!

Repeat I got told that due to stock issues NO customers are getting the S8 next week, only the S8+ orders will get it 8 days early.

I'll be calling back to get my £30 up front cost refunded among other things as they are not emailing or calling customers!!

Ouch, I'd be very annoyed. Glad I got mine from CPW.

I don't see how Vodafone won't be getting ANY S8s till the actual release date. That seems a bit odd.

Might jump to Voda as I have F&F code now via work, can I use it to get bigger price drop if they do silly offers on the S8 like they recently did?

I used to get this discount code where I worked last year. It was only valid on deals from their own website and it still worked out as being a little more expensive than on deals you get from phone contract comparison websites.

It may have changed since then but I don't think it has.

I've found it okay on the 6P, though use Chroma keyboard (well worth keeping an eye - it's a little buggy at the moment) or Gboard for consistency.

I literally have none of these issues. Have you tried setting animations to .5x?

Voda website backs up what's been said above

If you browse to the S8 page you see:

Pre-order the S8 today and get it on 28 April 2017, the official launch day. While stocks last.

If you browse to the S8+ page you see:

Order your S8+ by 19 April 2017 and we’ll deliver to you eight days before the official launch.

Anyone else ordered from Amazon? Did they give you any idea of a delivery date?

If yours is S8 (standard one) and vodafone I'll not be happy as I ordered a week ahead of you lol

I've got my Spigen waiting but also have the official Samsung Clear Cover and Silicone Cover on order.

I'm just hoping Samsung actually handle their own website preorders well! Ordered back on the 29th so hopeful I'll get mines on Thursday.
