Well you can spend $149 to fix your wife's screen at Apple or $25/month for 30 months or whatever. One option is a bit cheaper.
Got a tip for us?

Hangouts already failed. Allo is on the same course
All they had to do was rename hangouts to Messenger. That would have solved everything. Instead they released another app with a stupid name that was DOA. Typical google. Ugh.
I gotta tell ya, I can't wait to receive my S8. I have the unlocked model on pre-order.
I'm ready for the future.

No you won't. Unlocked version from Samsung gets fewer updates than the carrier models
But then the images are out there and you can flash them yourself....No you won't. Unlocked version from Samsung gets fewer updates than the carrier models

Samsung has promised this year to keep up with security updates. We'll see what happens -- I'll believe it myself when I actually see it!
But even if not, to me, updates are a low priority. I always welcome timely security patches and software updates, but it's not a make it or break it decision for me. Common sense takes care of security, and Android software this day and age is so feature-rich, stable, and fast, that I really don't worry about the next iteration of Android.
I rather have the day-to-day advantages of the S8.
If are waiting for one of us to say
"hey don't get a new phone" you've definitely come to the wrong place!
Just wait for the Note 8 and the iPhone 8. Everyone here is going to get one of the two or both anyway. Lol
Haha right? Almost a month in, I'm still Gaga over this phone.If are waiting for one of us to say

Anyone in the US want the Exynos Model?

That may have been true for US unlocked but not international, we normally get them 1st
as in the recent pink screen update for example

Not right now...Google and Verizon have them in stock....Easier said than done am I right?
It needs more exposure, all carriers should be able to carry the phone, not just Verizon.

Yes but it appears not to be the Duos dual sim version
And only sold from random 3rd parties. Might as well buy on eBay.
Samsung Pay has been announced today in the UK!
Not many banks yet but it's a start!
Unfortunately, the UK version is also missing some key features that are on offer in other markets.
“For the UK launch, we’re going to focus on NFC and then we’ll look for opportunities to bring MST later on,” Kyle Brown, Samsung’s head of technology, content and launch management for the UK and Ireland!

Mind we only recently had Apple Pay & Android Pay launch here and only the smallest bank (an insignificant player) is supporting them. The main banks AIB & BOI do not support any.
I believe so. In order to include the CDMA carriers (verizon, sprint), they have to use the snapdragon as it can operate on those frequencies. But this is what I recall from reading stuff online, I could be wrong.
Do.It.!
