Surprise! T-Mobile has already started shipping the Samsung Galaxy S8 devices to the users who have already registered. So the pre-ordered people are now getting the device from T-Mobile. But the official availability in the United States is 21st April. So, pre-registered people can get their hands-on first.
Another interesting fact is that T-Mobile was the first carrier to ship the previously launched LG G6 devices as well. So the magenta carrier is working very hard to provide everything first for their customers.
