Will the Silver version be available in the UK?

I've only seen the Black/Blue versions available to pre-order...

There are four colours but only those two at launch. I would expect to see Silver Titanium and Gold Platinum some time after launch.

Silver/Gold might be a carrier exclusive for a bit like the S7E was

Which one(s) offered it?

The screen is even better than on the S7/Edge and sets a new record for peak brightness :

Just pre-ordered through Samsung. Can see the payment on the Amex but have no confirmation email. Have no idea if I was in the first 1000 to get the VR headset.

Just had my confirmation email. Which colour?

well thank you very much Barclaycard for blocking that payment

Mine was Verified By Visa but I had to change the password. A call to BC will sort you out quickly.

Any word on what case is bundled with the Samsung UK preorders?

It's a mystery at the moment.

Android Central review is up:

Summary:

what matters here is that the Note 7 provides a fantastic experience through and through. And despite its congruence with the Galaxy S series that classic Note fans may bemoan, it's easily the best Galaxy Note that Samsung has ever made.
