I decided to stick with the Buds Plus order that came with the wireless charging pad for less than the price of the Pro.

Plus, I have a Jabra Active 75t sitting beside my desk in box, which trades punches with the Pro.

That said, I disagree with alot of your points regarding the S21 Ultra. It almost sounds like you would've been satisfied with the far cheaper S21 256GB.

In any case, I respect your opinion, the diversity of experiences paints a portrait of these devices to prospective buyers and future owners.
Don't get me wrong, price is not an issue.
Them scaling back the pricing is just them getting back to standard $50-100 increase generationaly (s20 series being the outlier to the general norm since galaxy S1). Pretending that 20 series never happened lol, or that they were priced in step with previous generations (that was a huge hike last year)
To disagree is perfectly fine.

S21 is too small for me, width of s8. See,... the dreaded aspect ratio combimed with my aging eyesight lol. Videos are just too small, and cropping full screen just cuts off too much. In a few years they will release 16 inch diagonal phone with same 2.5 inch width. That is only way they can still claim size matching or beating iphone I guess. It just has no practical purpose for consuming videos and marginal benefit of seeing more while typing vertically (then again typing horizontally is just worse now because of it).
On refresh rate, SD card and 5g I can certainly see that some will not care for, or actually will and those things will be their deciding factor, depending on individual.
But the phone is heavy, and it is top heavy (balance being almost a centimeter off center). Now that is just a fact. There can be differing opinions whether it bothers some or not, but that's what it is.

S21+ is also a no go for me personally (I am getting it for wife) as it really does not offer me enough of an upgrade over my note10, considering the stuff I miss or don't like.
That is why I said I really want to like the ultra and am willing to even put a condom on it, hoping that I'll somehow get used to it. Even better, start liking it before condom gets here.

Actually you can use it twice or more, if u keep two different browsers open and perform submission same time. I have tried and it worked.

My questions for the US deal are:

1) If you get the trade in value immediately ($550 US or so depending on device) you then have to somehow ship the phone back to Samsung US or the will then bill you the full amount of the phone. So I assume you have to first ship it back to your friend or whatever in the US first, who then ships it back to Samsung US. This adds additional shipping and customs fees.

2) Also, does anyone know how much the customs fees are going to add for the device coming into Canada give or take?

3) Billing and shipping address have to be the same, so they would also have to buy it on your behalf, otherwise the order will get cancelled.

You don't have to do anything special. Just add it to your cart with the $200 credit and it shows up as free in your cart.

You're correct, it's definitely individual preference.

The camera system is making phones like this more and more top heavy.

I don't consider it a deal breaker, unless cameras are less important to you (it's possible).
I aim to be inclusive and considerate of others in my posts. If I fall short of that mark, feel free to let me know in good faith, and where appropriate, I'll edit my posts. Thank you.

For those ordering to friends and family in the US, which shipper are you using to get your packages back to Canada? Is it better to go third party i.e netParcel, Shippo, etc or directly from shipper i.e UPS, USPS, FedEx, etc?

But my main point was if someone who is selling it to him, it should not have been used before. If they used it before, how would he be able to use it? He needs to verify that it hasn't been used before, before buying the code from them

I ordered through Samsung, used guest checkout, and got NO EMAILS! Except for the PayPal order submission (not a charge) email.

Should I be getting a proper email?
