Getting pretty nervous that I will not receive mine on launch day. It has said ready to be picked up since sunday, but UPS hasn't got around to picking it up. Usually even overnight packages take a few days to reach me in Honolulu
Yes 2 year contract at $10/month add on to your att bill. Can buy out of contract for $150
Me too very nervous Traded in My Note 5 for $240 at Sprint and paid $100 bucks for my Note 7 currently using old iPhone 5s until Friday. Sprint has Zero confirmation or confidence they will have them available. Thank Goodness on my SERO Premium line I could still get the 2 year contract price.
No UPS Tracking Number either.
Friday is gonna very very stressful.
Cnet Uk review gives it a 9.0
THE GOOD The Galaxy Note 7 is a beautiful, capable Android phone that showcases Samsung's best in design, battery life, speed and features. The 64GB base model leaves you plenty of space for photos, videos and games, and it's a real improvement over 2015's Note 5.
THE BAD It's pricier than almost every other Android phone, and a little heavy. After seven iterations, there are still minor problems writing with the S Pen stylus. Fine particles, like beach sand, can wedge the stylus in its holder.
THE BOTTOM LINE The Galaxy Note 7 is the best no-compromise, big-screen phone you can buy if price is no object. All but the most devoted stylus lovers, however, will do just as well with the cheaper S7 models.
9.0 OVERALL

If I can't get it from carphone warehouse on 30th of August with the free gear VR then I'll have to get it on contract from o2 as it's sold out on samsung's website.
just checked CPW and it has sim free available for 30th august but no VR. think it's saved for just contracts
Congrats. Mine was suppose to be here tomorrow as well, but it looks like I'll be getting it Monday. At least my Gear S2 will arrive tomorrow, so I can play with until the Note comes in.
Like ONE wasn't enough... used JOD ( Jump On Demand ) for a black one on the other line!! So, now got a Blue Coral and a Black..
Now, TMO.. ship'em stupid!!!

Finally Huh! I ordered the Black Onyx.
Glad you got movement on your order!
Yeah I couldn't see anything about the free gear VR on their website. I'm so surprised that O2 are doing it.
Tomorrow's the day I'm supposed to get mine, I haven't got a case yet (in the post) so I'm not too worried if I don't get it immediately,
I'm glad I chose black, it looks mean as..
Damn you US guts get great deals on extras, I'm paying full price and getting a 128GB card (low end evo I think) and that's it.
Then again, I'm happy it's exynos, Snapdragon looks to be a little less frugal with the battery.
That might be why my Note 5 battery was never an issue?
Did they make a Snapdragon Note 5?

Oh my god, Gorilla Glas 5 has clearly no real scratch resistance, that explains the photos from the demo units. Scratches already at 3 on mohs scale of hardness, this is embarrassing compared to Gorilla Glas 4 (scratches at 6).
Using a screen protector on my s7 edge had a cheap feeling and i removed it and have till today no scratches.
On the Note 7 it's get even worse with screen protector because writing on it with the s-pen feels really bad.

That's annoying that it doesn't provide as much protection for scratches as GG4 or even more shockingly GG3.
Those that live in areas where the phone will be exposed to sand or grit had better invest sooner rather than later in some screen protection. I won't dare to take mine out naked, it would be a game if Russian roulette.

I have found this screen protector that claims full display coverage but I don't really know if it's good or not.
