As my Samsung Direct order is showing as "Ordered on Request" I've just ordered with (I assume I can name them) Handtec as they are showing stock of the orchid grey S8 Plus, let's see who delivers first. I don't mind who but I just want it before I leave the UK for 2.5 weeks from next week.

Ordered on the 9th (direct), now sitting at "In Progress" - was still at "Not processed" about an hour ago.

I'd just like to receive the phone on Friday so I can drop it on Friday night and spend the weekend crying in bed.

I got email from ee at 09.59 this morning and have tracking and consignment numbers.phone hasn't moved from 9.40 this morning lol

Just popped into CPW to have a proper play on the S8+; btw their deals are crap, I had to act as though I was interested so he'd let me test it out properly. As much as I would prefer the larger screen it's just too abnormally long for me, I'm leaning more and more towards the normal S8 even though the battery is smaller.

Cheapest/best deal I've found atm is free handset, £40 a month on 3, unlim calls/txts but only 2gb data. Quidco cashback on that too. Says in stock and delivery for tomorrow!??

Strange. I have had a couple of text messages about changes to my tariff and BT Sport app access but nothing about the actual order shipping.

I REALLY liked the screen on the S8+ when I saw it in person and held the phone but the size of the handset is just that bit too much. I was also a tad concerned by the battery difference but I know I've made the right choice going with the standard S8.

UPDATE: Got an email from UK Mail. Due for delivery tomorrow. Order was stated as shipped from Samsung yesterday, but only got a link to UK Mail tracking today in the afternoon.

Just got my text in...will be delivered tomorrow

No payment taken from Samsung yet though...although it was pre authorised at the time of purchase so I would assume they'll just go back and claim it.

Now I've also ordered from Handtec Samsung Direct is showing as "Being Processed" I can see me ending up with two phones, thank god for DSR.

Colour me happy. Finally got my status as "in progress"....... You might not think it's a big deal, it just is.

I'm hoping the Samsung Direct one arrives before I go away as that has the extra cover for damage. All we can do is sit tight and keep our fingers crossed.

What are ChitterChatter like? Some good deals on there for EE even though EE retention's could not get anywhere near these sort of deals?

And they do a friend referral I read, £20 to referrer and referee I read..

Anyone care to comment on chitter chatter?

thecremeegg · 19 Apr 2017 at 18:59

For anyone who's gone with mobilephonesdirect, their twitter says they hope to get phones out for tomorrow, despite order checker not budging so there's hope!
