This was entertaining.
Samsung SmartSwitch is, quote, "like Apple's iCloud only far better."
Btw, that blue/gold color is a real winner. I was impressed by it when I first saw it in person and it's only grown on me more since.

What carrier are you with? I plan on picking mine up at AT&T Store on Friday morning... I'm just hoping I won't run into trouble getting one..
If Verizon blocks the use of Samsung cloud then I'm out. I will NOT be forced to use Verizon's cloud.

Sorry but I tested non-display models. Test, valid.

If you ask this question, you should definitely stay with the build in TW launcher
But the way people are talking seems to be more like TW of three or four years ago rather than today.
Samsung's own unboxing reminds me why I went black. Love that full stealth black look.

I got my shipping update! Delivery expected tomorrow!
It is funny how before the Note 7 was revealed a lot of people(in general not just here) where like meh, no big deal ect and now it is full hype mode!
I'm in Canada, with Bell Mobility. Samsung Canada recently said Pre-orders for the Note 7 in Canada have been very strong. My carrier's statement about possible supply issues seems to support that. You guys in the US are probably safe from supply issues.

Sweet! Congrats
My UPS info say delivery today but no movement. So maybe mine will be tomorrow too.

Finally the headphones are black. While I have no use for wired headphones, I've been sick of white headphones for years now.
How did you test a non-display model of a Note? What were the details of both models, their usage history? You really want to make an argument that whatever Note model you had wasn't brand new vs the S7 Edge? Both were direct out of the box?
So....not who you replied to and apologize for that. But I talked to a Samsung rep at a Samsung Experience store who had a Note 7 on him. I asked to see it and he let me play around with it for a few minutes. I compared it to my S7 edge i had on me. I used them side by side. The Note 7 seemed faster to me...more responsive. Just my 2 cents for what its worth.....
Pocketnow seem very impressed with the iris scanner and think it's not a gimmick. So quick and ideal in many situations
Rogers should be safe, they charge 100$ more for the same device!
The Bell rep actually knocked $100 off each phone for me. Then gave me $200 credit I could use in their store.

I'm pretty sure those are white headphones. The case is tinted dark, makes the headphones looks black.
I envy you. I don't have a choice. My shop supply me with a Cell phone. If I choose the model, I pay the acquisition cost and they pay the monthly bill. The contract is not even with my name. I can't go with another carrier.
I'm sure it did. But again: you were comparing a brand new device to something you've been using for a period of time. I don't know how that's a legitimate test. I have a GS7E as well. I've played with the Note in the store. The new device, the Note, *seemed* a bit faster. I've also had my GS7E since launch. Not a 1:1 test.

It's because the device is shipping this week, people are excited for the brand new toy. You'll see similar responses in the iPhone thread once those devices are shipping and there has been ungodly amounts of "meh" from those folks.
This seems like the ultimate cold weather phone, not only does it have the iris scanner, but the spen could be used to navigate and it's water proof, so you don't have to take off your gloves or worry about snow melting on it.
I think it is pretty darn close test myself. My S7 edge isn't that old and it had a fresh reboot so the cache and background apps were all fresh. The internals of both devices is really close as well. The two phones are only a few months apart with very similar specs.My S7 edge didn't all of a sudden age and slow down. It still has current smartphone specs. I think Samsung has optimised TW and the N7.
Then to be honest using your logic....you could never compare phones to each other because they would NEVER be a true 1:1. You would only compare exact phone models to each other.
for the iris scanner to work, I think you still have to swipe up first.
