I gave it a second shot with the Note 8 and unfortunately I just don't like Android or have gotten so used to IOS that there is no going back. There are so many complaints not related to Android or the physical phone itself that it was enough for me to ship the phone back. Like I told my co-workers, if you have been with Android from the beginning then there is no better phone hands down, if you have been with IOS it might not work for you. Apple should just copy the body of the Note 8 and call it day.

Good luck! Like you said, better safe than sorry. The Mayor of Houston was ridiculed for not evacuating Houston.

Don't agree and many do not. He made the right decision.

First of all thank you all you wonderful people for,I never even knew this thread existed on Macrumors.
The NOTE is absolutely the best phone ever got.
First iphone then the 4 awestruck me,but this one checks all my needs.
It's beautiful in every aspect,JUST LOVE IT.
2-3 years ago i used the bash android all the time,not anymore.
My wife still loves her 7plus and wants to get the 8 next week,not me I will get every Note from now onwards, unless something more tempting comes up.
The joy and happiness I am getting using this phone, I barely slept last night.
Thanks everyone here,my favorite place to go.
Steve jobs was so wrong on the stylus. Spen is my way of old school writing, pen and paper.
THANKS

I echo what everyone else is saying about the N8! Awesome phone...speed and quality is unrivaled. Hate the FPS location still from the S8+...but using iris scanning for now.
Restored everything from my Smart Swicth backup of my S8+. Love Smart Switch!

It's only my wife and I. We don't use touch id or FPS ever so we are good on that front.No kids, both are parents, family gone.

Time, because it rules EVERYTHING!
I won't get my Note 8 for awhile because of Hurricane Irma. It's not a huge deal because I rather be safer than sorry. I evacuated to avoid that catastrophic storm.

Not worth it mate, not with that storm and the other two storms that have developed! Bad times, but better to keep all your family and pets safe and let a house be blown down, you can rebuild a house.

Jeeperz, don't be giving his ego a bigger boost


Besides many of us look like celebrities here.

I myself bare a striking resemblance to a minion

Hey all! Got another question! Any app out there that wakes the screen up for new notications?
Similar to how iPhones wake up?

It's only those who had the fingerprint system on the iPhone that gripe. Nothing comes close that have used to the 7's quality. Fantastic. I'm getting a bit more used to mine. The Note 8 is notably heavier vs my 7+.

A question about the s pen translation function: does it work in any app, or just the Samsung browser? Can I for example translate sentences directly in WhatsApp?

Anyone encountering an issue where you get an error message randomely popping up saying you have to turn on simplified settings to turn on Bixby? I have not set up Bixby, no intention of using it. I've turned off the Bixby home screen. I can't tell if this is a weird issue with my phone or Sammy's way of trying to heckle me into using their crappy assistant.

Works with every app that I've tried, including Whatsapp. There is also a toggle for one word only, or complete sentence/paragraph.
That's pretty awesome. I use a bunch of languages daily in WhatsApp and some of them I'm not so great at, this would definitely speed up all the going to a dictionary to check a word I do on a regular basis.

While I'm still a bit disappointed that the screen isn't wider, I'm starting to really look at all the other reasons I want this phone so I don't dismiss it solely because of the screen.

I don't have Bixby setup and have not gotten any notifications like the one you describe.....

Anyone here know what I need to do to get my cars voice activation working again when I press the button? Worked with my iPhone for Siri and note 7. It does nothing on the 8

Is there any good deals in the U.K. For the Note 8?

The most decent one I can see is £54 a month where you get 32gb data with Vodafone
