Can we go ahead and just rename EVERY single Samsung complaint (including mine) thread/post with this title? Thanks for making me spray my water all over my desk.
Got a tip for us?

For me, the spen alone is enough. Also, there is the dual cameras both with OIS and 2x optical zoom. Then, there's the 6 gb ram, bigger screen, and the improved spen features like Live Messages. Now, I just have to wait for a bogo.
Man this thread went from 0-100 real quick...
The Note 8 looks like a VERY GOOD PHONE. Probably not worth the update for S8 owners, but Note diehards will surely love it.
Interesting to see what LG V30, iPhone 8 and Pixel 2 offer up.
If you're not going to buy one, maybe don't expend so much energy on arguing about it

Gives you some perspective on its massive size!! Far too big for me!
Yeah that iPhone 8 is more my size haha.

That's nuts when you consider the n8 is all screen. Makes me bummed there is no iPhone 8 plus.
Wow. It's taller than the iPhone 7/Plus. That's an automatically "hell no" from me. All screen or not, that's a BIG azz device. Jesus.
Well the very expensive end of the year phone madness has begun ....
On PAYG with Vodafone (partially subsidised and still locked to the carrier)
That's the equivalent of near $1200 ..... for a carrier locked device !!!!!!

Samsung should, once again, be lauded for embracing the mistake of the Note 7, and really making amends. Remember, they now have an industry-leading QC-ing process for batteries. There wasn't any memorable battery/fire issue with the S8 models; I don't predict there will be any with the Note 8.
Samsung apologizes for the Note 7 again with a ridiculous hype reel for the Note 8

SIDE NOTE: The stage they used for the presentation is super cool. Look at it in action during the first 10 seconds or so of the "Note 8 Event in 8 Mins" video from The Verge. You have to see it in motion to appreciate it:
It doesn't bode well for us with the iPhone 8 or Pixel XL2
The Note 8 is €600 subsidised on a 24 month contract with Vodafone. That means we are now paying as much for a phone heavily subsidised and tied to a 2 year contract as we did for the near full price of a flagship with no contract only a year or two ago.
It's going to get harder justifying buying new phones on release ...
Yup. And with me just buying a new house and being told "we will just have to make sure we only buy things we need"... It's safe to say my phone buying habits are being monitored closely...
. Thankfully I'm not tempted by the Note 8 at all. Pixel 2 and iPhone 8 could be a different story though!
Yup, at $950 I had no interest, but at $525 I’m now not sure what to do, especially since I just ordered the essential phone. I guess I could get the note and then sell it? I wonder how long the trade in offer is good for.
Ugh, and now I’m seeing that Best Buy has an additional $100 off and includes a 128gb card and wireless charger, which would bring it down to $425 plus the goodies.
I guess the Note 8 would make a nice change of pace/back up phone ........ no, must stop trying to justify.

Yeah but that's up to $425 from what I have read, depending on what you trade in. So it's not like a free $425 off, it's not much better than what the carriers would offer you for the trade in depending on the phone. Personally I think they should have just offered $300 off, no trade in needed for previous Note 7 owners just for the hassle of dealing with multiple replacements and the whole fiasco. Heck BB is offering $150 off, so $300 isn't too much of a stretch.
That’s true, but I have a note 5 and expect that would be the maximum offer since naturally that would be the handset burned note 7 owners would use, that or the s7. And $425 for my Note 5 is a pretty good deal.
You won't get $425 for your Note 5. It said "Up to $425". Meaning depends on your phone and age to get the maximum amount.
Yes, but this deal is specifically for people who bought the Note 7 and had to return it. So the maximum offer would probably be going to people who stuck with Samsung. And of those who bought the Note 7 and stuck with Samsung, they probably went to and S7 or Note 5, so those should be given the highest amount. Remember, this isn’t a normal discount or sale, it’s specifically a discount for note 7 owners.
Little picture history of the Note line....

Liking the new features. I like my devices packed with features. The more the better. Just like a Swiss Army Knife. Packed with features I know I use, but also with features for those time I never saw coming. Will be pre-ording soon. Bam! Now bring on the Gear S4!
