Has Samsung perfected design with the Galaxy Note 7?
http://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-design-galaxy-note-7-707621/
Like I said, as Samsung gets better and better at curve/edge screen technology, the experience will get better, too. I haven't handle it myself, but impressions from early previews all sound pretty good. Here's one snippet from this link:
One of the biggest issues people have found with the Galaxy S7 Edge – which was also mentioned during the Note 7 announcement in London – is the curved edges and the accidental presses as a result of the design. With the Note 7, the edges are a narrower curve (with the same curves on the rear), the corners have been tightened and the metal and glass have been sculpted so they almost flow seamlessly together.
The Galaxy Note 7 doesn’t feel like a large-screen smartphone and is actually easier to use in one hand than the Galaxy S7 Edge, despite having a screen that is 0.2-inches larger. Thanks to the tighter curves on the front and back and the metal frame, Samsung has managed to make a curved edge smartphone that is actually useful and not a case of style-over-function like with the Galaxy S7 Edge. If you’re one of those who’s had accidental presses on the curved edges of the S7 Edge, the Galaxy Note 7 pretty much fixes all of these.
Me and my S7 Edge are jealous. Can't wait to see how the S8 Edge will look and feel.

From what I remember last year....it is after you received it and registered it with Samsung. You should get a link in an email if memory serves me right.
I pre ordered by phone. The rep told me I would have to go here with my order details
samsungpromotions.com/galaxyoffer
What sold me was ..... 64gb internal, bigger screen, S-pen, and the fact that I can write a note and have it on the Always On display. That's a great reminder tactic, and I'll use it a lot.

I ordered...or rather my husband ordered us two Blue Note 7's on AT&T last night a little past midnight. We hope we got the BOGO deal but it was confusing as hell because the deal was heavily steering folks to get the S7 BOGO deal even though the Note 7 and other Samsungs are listed as qualified devices. Also in the fine print you will see you don't get the second Note 7 free, you just get credit for the cost of a Galaxy S7 and will still have to pay the roughly $200 price difference.
Then our bleeping Amex declined the transaction because we forgot to alert them we were doing this. My husband alerted Amex and early this morning AT&T put a $1 charge on our card and sent us an order confirmation this morning, so hopefully all is well with our order.
As for getting freebies like a memory card or Gear Fit 2, we didn't see that option on AT&T and it was late and hubby was tired so he went to sleep and left it to me to figure the rest out.
At any rate we added these as new lines on AT&T. We have existing lines of grandfathered unlimited data but those are specific to iPhones only according to my husband. I'm going to need him to get clarification but right now we are under the impression we have to stick to iPhones on those accounts or lose the unlimited status.
We would both have loved to try T-Mobile if they had offered BOGO. But we have very poor data coverage through them on our iPads. I rarely get above two dots of signal.
Yea, I wasn't gonna upgrade from the N5, but the trade-in value roped me right in lol.. I only owed $80 on my EIP !!
That's awesome if true, that was really my biggest gripe with the S7 edge. Can't wait to try it out.
Also, for those wondering the AT&T rep I ordered my note from told me it will have wifi calling out the box, while my S7 would get it with an update that is rolling out now.
Wow, Rogers is really scamming Canadian this time..
when you look at the S7 Edge: full price 1009$, with 2y contract = 399$
Note 7 full price 1049$: 2y contract = 559$
the price difference is 40$ but they're charging 150$ for it.
the Note7 with Bell is 449$ (2 years) which seems normal ($CDN)

Agreed
I had the note 4 and miss the even larger screen and S pen
I've heard rumours of a note tablet coming soon as well.
- you're missing the blue light filter option (display setting)
- power saving mode allows to scale down resolution (QUAD HD to full hd)
Yesssss! Thank goodness there are still people out there building their own PC's. Next summer my husband and I are going to build a gaming pc together, too, with our 11 year old daughter. We want her to have the kind of experience we had with computers in our youth. I've been keeping an eye on all the price breaks I can get via Slickdeals on components.
I was getting pretty depressed in the topic about the new IPad commercial, when I read people posting that young people don't use computers anymore, let alone build any, and use only tablets and iPhones and iPods. If that's the kind of dumbing down of our future engineers that the dumbing down of our devices by Apple has encouraged, I need to break my family out of the walled garden.
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate so much everything Apple has made and how it's made life easier. I still love my iPhone but I let myself get complacent.
Now that Apple is making moves I don't agree with I want to ensure I don't get trapped in the ecosystem into accepting everything they are cornering me into.

Yeah it's a $695 max credit, and that's divided over 30 months, that's how they lock you in. The gear S2 AND some android tablet are also free, but you have to do a 2 year contract for them. The SD card you can get straight from Samsung, even if you buy the phone at ATT.
Scroll all the way down to the fine print and you can see the BOGO offer details and also the details on the S2/tablet. https://www.att.com/cellphones/sams...WzpxbKM-SZ.q34G3v9mPhIakCeXPtw#sku=sku7990253

Damn, I'm in the jealousy boat too. Though I'm going to wait for the Note 8 now. That baby is going to rock.
no, one year they add stuff, next year they remove..
2017: they will remove SD card, Waterproofing and iris scanner
Any links? I really hope so. With the new advances since the Note 10.1 2014, they should.
Wow, when's the last time you heard a major tech website calling out the iPhone. People really seem to have enough with Apple's "it just works," and "it's about the ecosystem, the complete experience."

Bought myself the Coral Blue Note 7 via T-Mobile. If it is anything like the S7e shipment, I should have my Note 7 in my hand 1-2 days before official launch. Love T-Mobile!
And you go to the Samsung site after you receive your phone. You upload a copy of your receipt and EIP or contract info showing your scheduled payment plan. You then pick from either Netflix, Gear Fit 2 or 256gb card and Samsung emails you your Netflix code or mails you your gift. This can take up to 8 weeks.

Surprised there is no white version at all of the Note 7.
I can see the impact of the Note 7 unveil as a number of Note 5's have sprung up on the classified sites here.

Ooh, ouch! Yikes. I'm still an Apple fan but it's getting harder to deny the perception that basically at every level of the ecosystem they've compromised on hardware, design, and features for various reasons we can only guess at.
Some people here have voiced the opinion that customer service and quality control has also declined. I am not sure about that.
But Apple's image has tarnished a bit as products languish with dated features and specs and its top execs are seen delving into entertainment industry deals that don't appeal to core consumers and spending exorbitant amounts on foreign investment that won't show tangible results for consumers for quite some time. Only time will tell if Apple is merely biding its time building the foundation for new products and services that will wow us again.
There's no doubt Apple need to step up. I'm. Hoping the duel camera can help. Camera needs to get on par with the note/s line
It's a us only promotion as expected. Would have been nice to get a freebie though.
So it's not a free Gear VR and a MicroSD it is a choice of either. I thought it sounded too good to be true when you posted that earlier
I was going to skip this having a Note 5, but that offer of the memory card is damn temping.
File not found when I follow the link?
