Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge: T-Mobile subscribers in US likely to get devices first

Just into a week since Samsung launched its flagship devices Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge, T-Mobile subscribers in the US who pre-ordered the devices are most likely to be the first to get them. T-Mobile has reportedly sent "successfully shipped" emails to some customers who ordered the S7 and the S7 Edge.

A Reddit post details how some people have received "It's on the way!" emails from T-Mobile with expected arrival dates pegged around 1 March. Last year too pre-orders for the Samsung GalaxuyS6 and S6 Edge by T-Mobile had shipped out earlier than expected.

T-Mobile is offering a free Samsung Gear VR, a six-game VR bundle and a one-year Netflix subscription to anyone who buys a Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge between 23 February and 18 March. To redeem this offer, you will need to include a valid proof of pre-order or purchase receipt on Samsung's website.

There is a catch with buying the T-Mobile variant or any other carrier-supported variant as inserting any other SIM other than the carrier-supported one will not unlock the device. It will only get unlocked once the device has been paid for fully and been active with the carrier network, T-Mobile in this case, for 40 days.
