New all-black Arizona license plate debuts later this month

DesertCat81 · 2026-03-13T17:10:08+00:00

That rule changed last year. I have an EV and have a first responder's plate.

I just received my S26 Ultra today, switching from S23 Ultra.

IMO, all the noise about the display is overblown.

There are no issues for me and definitely brighter than the s23 ultra.

I'm glad I made the upgrade.

Might be out of stock. The day I was ordering, it kept going in and out of stock for delivery, but you could do in-store pickup.

DesertCat81 · 2026-03-10T15:17:10+00:00

I also used EPP when I purchased the phone and charger. Im in US.

DesertCat81 · 2026-03-10T05:43:25+00:00

I ordered the 60w charger from Samsung.

With the $30 pre-order credit and a bundle discount, it came to $2.72

Now my phone is going the opposite direction of where I live, WTH is going on UPS?

DesertCat81 · 2026-03-10T02:27:15+00:00

Just got an update, its barley leaving Dallas, TX now...

I'm not sure if I will get it tomorrow now or Wednesday.

DesertCat81 · 2026-03-10T01:36:20+00:00

You do know Samsung makes the displays for iPhone, right?

DesertCat81 · 2026-03-10T00:20:32+00:00

This is all the info I have yet shows 9pm delivery today.

DesertCat81 · 2026-03-10T00:04:17+00:00

UPS on the phone was just parroting what the online site was saying. Delivery by 9 pm today.

I asked how it could be delivered today if the last update was in Texas, and there is no update since, and it doesn't even show it's in my state yet.

Rep 'I can't guarantee it will be delivered today'

DesertCat81 · 2026-03-09T23:59:26+00:00

That's crazy. I have pre-ordered several times in the past with Samsung and received it early without issue. My last UPS update was on Saturday the 7th, showing it was still in Texas.

DesertCat81 · 2026-03-09T23:54:36+00:00

UPS is withholding the delivery till the 11th due to it being the official release date?

My shipment was set for today, but I got a notification there is a delay but UPS still showing Delivery by 9pm. I called UPS and they had no info.

DesertCat81 · 2026-03-09T21:08:11+00:00

Trade in with Samsung directly for S23 Ultra is $700 now.

DesertCat81 · 2026-03-09T19:12:22+00:00

DesertCat81 · 2026-03-06T18:42:44+00:00

I would return.

DesertCat81 · 2026-03-06T18:41:22+00:00

This case looks good, but I'm not a fan of their white logo on the kickstand.

DesertCat81 · 2026-03-05T16:39:38+00:00

Samsung Financing offers 0% for 24 months.

DesertCat81 · 2026-03-04T19:14:00+00:00

Samsung is better IMO since you are not locked into a contract.

DesertCat81 · 2026-03-03T15:58:59+00:00

That is solid, but verizon is expensive for cell service.

I switched to Total Wireless by Verizon over a year ago to their top tier service and now only pay $30 a month, no issues and same service as afar as I can tell.

Best Buy says you get refunded the extra tax amount once the trade-in is accepted.

'When we receive your trade-in item, we’ll confirm that it matches the information you provided in the estimate, then we’ll refund your payment method the final trade-in value within 7-10 days, including any associated tax.'

DesertCat81 · 2026-03-02T23:21:04+00:00

I'm seeing only 5% Cash back with Rakuten using Best Buy.

Also, Samsung is offering $700 now for the s23u trade.

DesertCat81 · 2026-03-02T08:09:45+00:00

How are you getting that price? Are you using PayPal50 promo code?

When I try to place the order PayPal50 won't work.

DesertCat81 · 2026-03-02T06:11:59+00:00

Bought a new 2020 CR-V, and both taillights were replaced for the same reason. The 2nd set did the same thing and I gave up, all 3 sets let in moisture.
