Yup, that's how it begins. Hmm I'll try this phone to see if i like it, so i wont be selling my old one just yet........hmm really like the new one, but my old one also does this other thing, let me switch back and see if I prefer that........hmmm I really like my old phone, but I miss this feature of the new one, I should probably switch back again before my return window closes.......hmmm my return window has closed and i still have both devices, I guess I can use both, I just use this one during these situations and the other in these other situations, plus it would be nice to have a backup incase one breaks.....hmmmm another phone is released..........

LOL...that is how the addiction manifests itself at first. Then it is the faster heart rate when talking about new phones and new releases. Then it is the 24/365 addiction to posting on forums dedicated to talking about them! :)

Gotta confess....I'm an addict :)

Is there anyway to keep the Priv while you give the Note 7 a test drive so to speak?
I kinda did this with the iPhone 6s+ and OnePlus 3......and Note 7...except now they all must share time as my daily driver as I can't choose between them!
Click to expand...
Haha my gosh, I just don't know how you guys do it to be able to use so many daily drivers side by side :D I've tried alternating between one iOS and one Android device but no matter how smooth the cross platform solutions I use, I always end up feeling like my use of either UI is totally slowed down and in fact a lot less enjoyable when I switch between two.

But yeah, insert jokes about being able to satisfy multiple partners or something like that... :D Maybe I just don't have enough user stamina... :oops:

Is that supposedly the trimmed down version of Tmo TouchWiz? Jeeesh

Yeah...if you want to disable half the useful features, including Android pay.....

Doesn't make much sense. Would you disable Apple pay, health, homekit, airdrop, Apple music, etc?

Let's be fair....

Well being fair isn't there a Samsung Pay as well?
[doublepost=1472159180][/doublepost]And being even more fair...why isn't the subsidy kickback of these preinstalled apps lowering the price of this phone? Shouldn't you get a clean device for the price paid?

Yes....but they are different technologies, and the consumer has the choice. Can you really complain about having two great options?

Seriously, iPhone have a lot of services that are included, and some even forced on the consumer: Apple pay, imessage, FaceTime, health, maps, homekit, Facebook integration, Twitter integration, airdrop....the list could continue.

Everyone praises Apple for some of these services, I also hear preople complain that they can't pick a new default browser, or a default music player. They complain about services being forced on them. Hell.... remember when Apple removed Google maps? That was great for the consumer, right?

Android functions similarly, but gives the customer more choice, and doesn't force services on them. Don't want to use Google services? Check. Rather use Microsoft services? Go for it. Want to use Android pay? Do it. You get the point.

It's fair to complain about carrier bloatware, but that is on greedy carriers. Samsung has trimmed down on the useless features.

It would be nice if people would treat the operating systems fairly. Let's not praise one and bash another for the same thing.

Kinda janky, but they do sell a keyboard case for the Note.

Plus you got the spen, and alot of BlackBerry apps are now available on the play store and can be installed on the Note.

I saw the keyboard covers - I'm all kinds of unsure on that!
It's handy with the Priv to be able to just slide it out when it's needed, I don't know if that accessory will be worthy of purchase - but who knows it's a good option!

And yeah I like that BlackBerry have brought all of their apps over, it's good to know I can still get some BB goodness.

I will keep my Note 7 order in tact and go from there!

WooHoo! My Free Samsung 256GB SD Card has shipped. I should get it in 3 days! Gotta love these Samsung promos.

My wife Gear Fit shipped a week ago, but it's just been sitting at the origin facility. So essentially the shipping labels been created but they haven't released it. Hopefully you have better luck.

Oh....my shipping label was created and says delivery by Monday. So maybe it won't be here Monday after all :-(
Oh well I know it's coming anyway.

GUYYYYYS.
Just to throw even more confusion into my head... I'm thinking about swapping to blue...

:confused:
Click to expand...
LOL...dat blue looks pretty sweet! Make sure they have one in stock if you're going to a store. Most stores have a 3 week waiting list for the blue N7. There is such a high demand for this phone!

I actually got mine via Best Buy yesterday.. had it shipped to me. Yet, it's not opened cause I haven't decided on whether I should keep it or not.

Does Android let you store apps and data on an SD Card? I've never had one so I don't know.
Click to expand...

I read that some Android phones allow you to store apps and data on the SD Card, but this Note7 does not. Music & movies I tend to stream. And I have a 12.9" iPP... that really serves as a place to load movies on to. 256gb is overkill for me, but if I can't find a buyer... I'm sure I can put it to good use.

Wish we got the promos you got over there.
Click to expand...
Hells yeah. Here in Sweden we get the Gear VR (while stock lasts...) which is cool and all but that fat 256 g SD is just pure useful sexy.

But anyway. Here I am still without a delivery date and if I could get my N7 tomorrow I'd happily choose that over any damn promo :D
