Yeah I'm hoping for the same. One of the nice things about facebook messenger or what's app is that u wouldn't lose your messages by switching devices. It's all cloud based unlike iMessage which is server pushed to device based.
Got a tip for us?

Currently running the Note 7 ported rom on my S7 and the first thing I notice is that now samsung browser can open link in the background. Also, samsung cloud seems nice.

Did you try a restore yet?

Do you need to root at all for the port?
I would suggest holding off before installing the port. Its a really a hack at this point and is filled with many bugs. Its best to wait until the latest drivers get released and the majority of bugs squashed before installing it and using it as a daily.
Are the items listed the only things that Samsung Cloud backsup on the device? What about messages, S-health info, anything else?Currently running the Note 7 ported rom on my S7 and the first thing I notice is that now samsung browser can open link in the background. Also, samsung cloud seems nice.
Yeah SmartSwitch is installed and a USB OTG adapter is included in the box. You are prompted as soon as you begin the set up of your new device about transfering content from your previous device over.
It's tempting. I think I'd still keep my 6s plus though. The note 7 is nice. I got an old android smartphone to trade in too. My wife would have no problem with 300 in target gift cards lol
Have you seen any reputable manufacturers advertising screen protectors yet?Just ordered both
Not seen any yet to be honest, even on amazon there isn’t a huge selection yet. Spigen seem to be the one who have all the cases out already.
The last step I followed is to root the device. But I doubt we can install custom rom on S7 without rooting.
Yes I did. It restores fine, but the application setting failed to restore. Other than that, like message, call log, alarm, restore just fine. Don't know about s-health as I don't use it.
Ringke and Nillkin have cases available too.
Nillkin nature cases are fantastic if you want a case to prevent scratches but want to keep it really really minimal.

im the same
my S7 arrives tomorrow and I already have 5 cases and a screen protector waiting for it lol
It's why I think i will pass on buying any cases that cost abit expensive. Like the offical s view covers for example will cost like £20-30..so don't want to pay too much. These £6 cases do the job.im the same
I have too many friends & family on iMessage who seemingly refuse to use any other messaging service, even though some are also on what's app as well, for me to be able to swap away from Apple at the moment and just exclusively run Android. Plus there's my heavy investment in iTunes.

I'm in the same boat. All friends and family use iMessage. But why does that stop you from switching? Granted it's easier to use iMessage when everyone else uses it but shouldn't SMS/mms work fine (although it sucks compared to iMessage).
