Yeah the big inconvenience there is that literally 85-90% of my friends and family have iPhones. So they would all need WhatsApp. Just don't see that happening.
With iPhone you can save that content from the messages app.
I know it's just one thing, but as I'm working through my decision, iMessage appears to be a bigger issue than I originally thought.
If you want to OD on stickers especially animated and with sound try Line the selection is massive and esp the Thai's love it with whole sets just dedicated to partners etc
Many cute characters and the usual freebies based around popular companies
It's like taken to a whole new level which many escape me
but still fun[doublepost=1492093080][/doublepost]
Agreed no gain without pain
Regardless if your going IOS to Android or Android to IOS
So last Aug i made the switch when the Note 7 came out. I had been using iOS since 2011. The note 7 was my first exp with android. I finally had to give my note 7 up at the end of January. I really enjoyed the android exp, after i sent my note 7 back i went back to using iOS on an old 5s that i had laying around. I am really looking forward to getting my S8+ and getting back to android, there was really nothing in iOS that i missed or that i could not find a way to do the same thing with android.
The android OS really felt new and fresh to me, allowed for almost unlimited customization options. Now that i have been back using iOS while waiting on the S8 iOS really does feel old and limited to me.
YMMV
Yeah my S7 Edge was my main video camera for my YouTube channel and that was mainly due to the great microphone on the device. I haven't invested in an DSLR yet but it's hard to when these phone cameras are super high quality. I plan to use my iPhone 7 Plus with an external mic for shooting anything S8+ related and used the S8 for shooting anything iPhone related.
You have a nice channel. I don't have an account yet so I can't subscribe but when I get around to making the account I'll be back to sub your channel. I was enjoying your Spigen Airfit 360 case review when my iPad crapped out on me toward the end. I'm not sure if it's my iPad or my wifi. We are having a LOT of internet problems with Verizon lately.
I was wearing my stereo headphones and at one point in the video you must have set something down because I heard a "clack" and I looked around thinking my cat had gotten into something behind me. If that was recorded with your S7Edge it would not surprise me, because I'm used to audio from the S7's being that immersive and giving the listener the feeling they are really there. When I look at videos of our school Halloween celebration that I took with my S7 Edge, and I listen with my headphones on, I feel like I'm right back reliving that moment again, because all the sounds are coming at me like they were in real life.
Now I can see that being a problem if we want the sound to be focused exclusively from a certain direction, like a stage.
When I was recording my daughter's school musical, for instance, I didn't necessarily want to pick up the sound of my mother-in-law rooting around in her purse for a Kleenex next to me. I will need to check but I think there might be settings in the S8 to control the directions the mic will pick up from. I think the LG V20 can do that.
By the way what is the glass screen protector you're using on your 7Plus? I can't remember which one I just bought but it's awful. It won't stick around the edges and the teeniest tiniest speck of dust in the universe caused a massive ugly bubble that refuses to settle out.

T-Mobile confirms it will ship Galaxy S8 pre-orders early

Same here.
I hope my patience pays off. I am waiting for the unlocked version. May 9th, Best Buy, I'm going to be there.
My card was charged this morning for my Orchid Gray S8+
Hopefully UPS shipping to follow soon
all the videos i have seen have shown it's the same as the note 7. hopefully apple use the iris scanner to be activated when you use the rise to wake feature.
Just curious. I see that you have a matte black 7. That's what I'm going to go to if I don't get the S8. So I'm wondering are you going with the S8 or staying put?
I wonder how well the s8 and + are really selling. On BB they have full stock for 4/21 delivery still. I remember reading a few articles saying it would be sold out.
i have been very tempted to get the S8 plus gone back and forth a lot about it but i will stick with my 7 plus and wait till apple announce the new OLED iPhone and review my options come september time. chances are will get the new iPhone as i'm very invested in apple now.
That said my dad has pre ordered the S8 plus so i will be using his and helping him get sorted and setup with that so i will still use the s8 plus on a daily or weekly basics to still get a good view on that. I'm sure i will be tempted again to get it but i've got to hold firm and say no lol but i'am very impressed by it so far so will get a good hands on with it on the 20th of april when it's due to arrive.

well here in the UK you can pre order with carriers and still get it 8 days early on the 20th of april so there is either loads of stock or demand isn't as strong..it's tough to know.
I mean it's been what 1-2 weeks since the event and i could ring up any carrier or CPW/samsung site now and still get it 8 days early.
Well it could be a few things:
1) it could be that Samsung has produced so many because of the whole note 7 debacle and they want to make sure that everyone who wants one can get one.
2) the note 7 debacle could have caused a lot of people to get iPhone 7's instead or an entirely different device.
3) people are waiting for customers to have real life experience before getting one.
My guess is option number 3.
Everything I have read so far points to twice the demand for the S8/8+ than the S7/edge at launch. Samsung has said they expected this and will have enough inventory on hand to meet the demand.
I assume the pattern unlock is still available ? If I do get one, that is what I'll likely end up using - with smart unlock enabled to my fitness watch thus bypassing security altogether most of the time when the device is with me.
Re: sales. I think it's likely a combination of all the factors people have suggested. There is likely more stock, and equally likewise more folks just waiting to see what happens in the first few weeks - after all it wasn't until a couple weeks after the N7 launched that we started hearing of issues which then bloomed. So some users may simply be waiting to see if within that 4-6 week period any issues come to light.
Either way it will inevitably be the biggest selling Android flagship of 2017 regardless.
