Congrats on your Foxes! Even this 'Yank' was glued to the television watching the Chelsea/Tottenham match hoping for the outcome that resulted...intense match, loved it. My kids and I catching whatever match(s) is on here on Sat/Sun mornings has become a bit of a tradition past couple years.

Ha thanks yeah it's been a crazy season. City has gone mad the last few days. I'm sure Saturday will be a wild night with getting the PL trophy after the game. Just wish I had put a bet on at start of the season ha

best way to move my photos over to my S7 edge from 6s plus? as the samsung connector seems to be failing.
 
Cheers all

Pretty much set up now. The Samsung USB connector worked in the end

Still can't get over this display. Very quick too with zero lag

Went into a TMobile yesterday as I am still contemplating the switch over from ATT and was absolutely blown away at the screen on the S7Edge. It wasn't even on full brightness and I felt it was giving me a sun tan with how vibrant, clear, and bright it was. I went back to my 6s+ after and it seemed so dull and grayish.

I am way too invested in the Apple ecosystem but would love to test drive the S7E until the new iPhone is announced as it looks like a beautiful device.

Even on auto at 50% it's so bright and beautiful

Think I'm just going to get a pay as you go sim for my edge. Will use iPhone as my main number I think so I still use iMessage with all my devices

I am contemplating just buying a used S7E if I can find a good deal here or on Swappa but I honestly don't know what is easier when switching a carrier so I may hold off.

If you do it I'm sure you won't regret it. Just the size I can't get over how it's same screen size as my iPhone but so much easier to handle
 
So now two buddies, and another buddies wife in addition to neighbors wife and few other friends have already cracked their S7 screen (me as well lol). Seriously these phone I think are more fragile then my old iPhones like the 3GS. I barely dropped mine and can't believe it cracked and spider webbed the screen, my old S5 took an utter beating for years including flying off my lap getting out of the truck and screen never cracked. I have a Luvvitt slim case on the S7 now.... but be careful, thought this new glass was supposed to be strong?!?

Love the phone, the pics and videos this thing takes and speed of the camera is just ridiculous for a phone. But its so smooth, no lags etc (don't know about the Edge, I remember the S6 Edge was laggy/buggy vs reg S6), screen is so sharp and vibrant. Samsung nailed it. Dislike the AT&T bloat etc, I think that's the only thing I would root for, to remove the bloat or to maybe flash a simple TW based rom, annoying going into the playstore to update and seeing a bunch of **** I don't want to update/use (guess I'm used to custom roms haha). TW I love now, it almost reminds me of roms I've used with the way its laid out now, the colors, how easy it is to navigate settings etc.
 
Alright, I am 100% all in on getting the Edge and going from the IP6S+.

Anyone any experience in coming over from ATT with a balance on NEXT ($650), wanting to get the Jump on Demand Program, and bringing over one phone from ATT that is paid in full (my wife's IP6)??

I talked to 3 different customer service agents at TMobile and they all had different answers which was concerning in itself from a customer service standpoint.

Is it easy? Worth the hassle?

My bill would be $80 without the taxes, payment plan for JOD, and fees and such which my current ATT bill is $150.

JOD seems like a reason to upgrade alone if possible.

Just need real world feedback and I didn't see a carrier section to ask so here I am. :)

My understanding is that you have to pay off your balance with AT&T and then T-Mobile will reimburse you. So first you port your number, which cancels the AT&T account, then when you get the final bill you send a copy to T-Mobile. At this point you have to pay the full balance at AT&T out of pocket. Then in 2-3months T-Mobile will send you a debit card with a balance of $650.

I did that with a line under contract, the etf was only $250. I'm still waiting for the debit card, it's been about a month and a half.

I did it today! Was a tough call to switch from ATT that I have been with for so many years and then also iOS on top of it!? Big day.

I will say, the S7E is absolutely gorgeous and I honestly cant believe its the same size as the 6S+ as it feels so slim and small in my hands coming from the 6s+.

I am still getting used to themes and the different nuances of Android as it has been a while but that screen is absolutely stunning.

They only had the silver titanium in stock and I may just put a skin on it as its rather slippery and man is it a finger print magnet as we all know.

Thanks for all the help everyone.

Yeah the screen size is the amazing thing, who knew 5'5 screen could feel good in the hand like this..I guess with the iPhone it feels like an 6 inch phone due to the wasted space

My edge dropped 16% overnight with screen on display on but I don't know if it's because I downloaded nils lock screen notification so the screens always stayed on

Currently on 71% with 12 hours standby and 1 hour, 30 mins screen on time
 
Considering I want my iPhone for my podcasts can't believe I've found a podcast app that can give me all my podcasts here on my edge

Bonus

Will do. First impressions are positive but already miss the iOS keyboard being the biggest standout right now so far

I did the edge clock thing as my nightstand clock last night and my battery dropped about 10%. I did not like that too much but then I realized this morning, BAM fast charging didn't make it matter at all. Such a great addition.

2 things I am going to get accessory wise so far. A skin as its way to slippery and I do not like cases. And a wireless charging pad. I am assuming the Samsung one is the best as it does wireless quick charge?

This screen blows me away every single time I turn my phone on.
