Did music transfer over when you used the usb connect?

Yes, all my songs did, but so did all my visual voicemails and they saved as MP3s lol. So I had to delete 37 voice messages even though most of them were deleted on my iPhone. It's like they were cached.

I have no idea what I'll do with it yet.

You're better off selling it if the unit is the same, right?

I was gonna call UPS in the morning and see what's up. Was hoping to have my S7 by Wed, since I'm on a plane Thursday morning for 2 weeks. Ugh.

Good to know I'm not alone. Feel better about that. Thanks for the info.

No problem. You might even get it tomorrow I think because I have had situations with "label created" and came the next day. But it's weird how some folks pre-ordered on the day of and haven't gotten theirs, yet folks who did like a thursday may have gotten theirs today.
[doublepost=1456811546][/doublepost]Anyone find it interesting how our S7s/S7 Edges have Quad Core Snapdragon 820s instead of Octacore ones or Hexacore ones, at least non Exynos versions?
 
Silver Titanium.

Anything you can tell us about the silver? Too reflective? How's it in sunlight? How's viewing content in general? Any regrets?
[doublepost=1456812832][/doublepost]Awesome impressions by all so far. Very informative.

It's a true fingerprint magnet. I haven't had a chance to use it in sun light since I got mine late. The silver is not distracting when you view the screen. It is reflective but I don't mind it. Maybe not getting it in black lol, but I wanted something to stand out too.

Three just confirmed they have mine ... but there is a bit of confusion as to when I will receive it. The guy on the phone told me I will receive it by courier tomorrow - however I am skeptical of this tbh. If it turns up tomorrow I'll be very surprised, I expect beginning of next week in real terms.

Today is going to be the battery test. I let my S7 edge fully charged overnight. I have the always on display running.

Cool keep us posted. I just discovered something interesting on Three's specifications page ...

Processor - Samsung Exynos 8890
Octa Core (2.3Ghz Quad + 1.6Ghz Quad)


I thought we were getting the Snapdragon 820 variant in Europe ? Perhaps it's a mistake ?

I still find it ridiculous that Samsung made the choice to give us (Europe customers) Only the gold, white, black option for the Galaxy S7 edge. I would like to see the silver one in a store, but that's not possible. Will they ever release it in Europe?
 
I like the option to delete the app
drawer, hoping htc follows route with the m10.

How do you feel about it? I think it makes searching easier Ala iPhone.
 
Played around with the s7 edge last night in BB, it's a sick phone. I'm pleased that they finally improved on one of my major gripes, macro pictures. Their is a selective focus mode which really allows you to get close and take pics, and then you can change the focus afterwards. No more bouncing focus lens, very nice.

I am finding I am not a always on display fan. I wasn't really a fan of the version on the Motorola phones either. Turning it off now.
Has anyone else noticed there is no carrier bloat? I have couple TMO apps like Hotspot and device info and visual voice-mail but nothing else. No games no nothing :).

What about always on display do you not like? Could you elaborate?

Worse still for UK & Ireland they reduced the choice to Black & Gold only.
 
I'm kind of thinking the same thing, but haven't made the jump yet. Waiting a little bit to see real reviews here. I'm pretty happy with my Note 5 still, but for sure jumping to the Note 6. I still want to see the HTC One M10 first, or at least the official spec's.

I find the Note 5 just slightly too big from an ergonomic comfort perspective so I am tempted to swap.
 
It is well always on. It does not fade out or dim and then get brighter. For me it is more of an annoyance.

Does not really matter to me to leave it on since it supposedly does not drain the battery. I was hoping you did not disable it so we can get feedback if it really does not strain the battery.

Thanks for the feedback so far folks. Most of us will end up caving and get one eventually. I rather get one in hand than deal with delivery. I am not interested in the VR anyway and rather not get it from BB at retail price. JoD is interesting.

We didn't get the White Edge here lol. Strange choices. It's not like a theme or color scheme dedicated to a country/region/continent, so why make color exclusives?

So last night it charged overnight. Battery life is looking promising so far.
Notice no cell standby!!!

Your battery life will get better as time goes on. It takes a few charges to get calibrated. I noticed that TW's estimated battery life counter is pretty low on every device. 10 hrs on a full charge 3600 mAh doesn't seem to add up too much, that's why it could be off.

Do a lot of the apps work with the fingerprint sensor? Specifically financial ones? I like how TouchID is integrated into every bank app, mint.com, etc.

I would happily swap the white edge for silver.
