Sure but I don't usually stick with the same phone year over year to make it worth it. I offset the cost somewhat by selling previous phone(s). I'm not runnin' a museum here. I have a budget each year so my wife doesn't kill me. I'm usually within it with margin. And like I tell her, I could have a worse vice. What if I were into cars or gambling? ;)
Haha wow you got money lol
The Samsung upgrade program allows you to upgrade to a new phone every year
 
Well for me it currently isn't. I would feel dumb buying my most expensive phone ever knowing it has such a flaw in a component I use countless times a day.

Can't necessarily argue with you however my experience has gotten better over the course of today. My initial assessment was wrong: software is fine, it was the placement that created so many fail attempts with the FPS. I've trained myself on the right way to place my finger.

So, yes, I was holding it wrong.

Which means Samsung still has a crappy FPS. However my success rate has increased greatly to the point that I just unlock without thinking about it.

If only it were in the middle below the camera. I had no problem using such a setup with the Nexus 6P (also a large phone), but the Note felt extra awkward especially when I thought about using a flip case.

So what colour are people getting?

Black is cool but pretty boring and the only other colour here is gold, which might be TOO gold!

Wish I could get the grey or blue!
 
A guy in my department just got his today - it’s beautiful! He got the black.
Verizon gave him the runaround - the phones were delivered yesterday (they were shipped a week early), but the Verizon Store he went to wouldn’t release the phone to him until next week - said they weren’t authorized to set it up until then. So he yelled a little and got them to give him his phone, and he’s setting it up himself. Very strange. But it’s gorgeous. ‘OMG it’s full of stars....” that’s what it looks like ( it thinner of course lol)

I preordered the Note 8 64GB Midnight Black yesterday and already have a tracking number and serial number. I used JOD to jump from iPhone 7 Plus to this Note 8. I only jumped to get the free Gear 360 camera and I like to change OS's every once in a while. Might jump to the iPhone 8. I love T-Mobile!

The phone is a lot of fun. Bit of a pain to transfer everything but so good so far. As mentioned, fingerprint sensor is a pain to get used to. Otherwise I am liking it. Compliments my 7+
 
Mine is so beautiful. I am loading it up now with all my stuff and transferring my text messages from my iphone over. Gosh, its fast!

I finally got a date for this Friday. And my case comes tomorrow.
What case did you get?

I was on preorder with Samsung but they took too long. Once I saw someone ordered last Saturday and already shipped, I said, I am going to try that. I ordered with AT&T yesterday, it shipped within 2 hours, and I got it today. :) I canceled my Samsung order.
Are you going to get a case or screen protector for it?
