*** The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 Thread ***

Clove saying the SIM Free Channel is not being provided at launch and stock now not expected until end of September for their orders.
 
Does anyone know what the weird little metal clamp thing is that comes in the box?

Edit: nevermind, i should have googled it first. It's a tool for removing the s-pen tip and comes with little replacement tips too!

Seems like I got lied to by the Sales guy in CPW, my sim free phone I pre ordered back on the 15th Aug doesn't come with a gear VR, not only that but my phone hasn't arrived in store either - they reckon it might turn up tomorrow.

Looks like it will be an interesting conversation with the Manager as I could have pre ordered with Samsung direct and got the gear VR free - that's if the phone does arrive tomorrow :rolleyes:

I saw the screen that the Sales guy was looking at and it said ALL pre orders came with one.
 
I ordered mine at 6:02am on the day it was released for pre-order from Samsungs website. After calling them about 5 times in the past 2 days, my order is FINALLY being processed.

Apparently they have had several cases with orders not being processed. But thankfully its "In Progress" at the moment. Hopefully i'll receive mine tomorrow!

Are you getting it tomorrow?

I rang them and now it looks like delivery tomorrow.

I've ordered this case.

Roll on tomorrow for me and hopefully you too. :D

How are you guys who have the note getting on with it? Liking it?
 
After an hour and 5 different people, I found out my order was cancelled yesterday by someone and no reason stated. He's off so nothing they can do apparently. Absolute joke. Local store manager isn't going to have a nice day tomorrow!
 
Can't decide on whether to get this Note 7 or just get a standard S7.

Don't necessarily need one, just have an itch for a new phone. Currently have a Note 4, said I was going to go with a smaller sized screen next time, so S7 would be good but I don't know, arghghghhg.

Looks like it! The order status has changed to "Shipped" and I also received an email from Samsung that it has been shipped. Got a tracking number but its still not showing as a valid number on UK Mail. I expect that'll change in a couple of hours time.

P.S. Samsung said they ship all preorders as Next Day Delivery, so if UK Mail behaves, its on course for delivery tomorrow :)
 
Well my wife like's her new phone, shes impressed with the FPS, Camera and Pen. A substantial upgrade from her Note 3.

My views...it's nice and all but not my cup of tea. A bit too Samsungy if you catch my drift. I prefer the Oneplus 3/Nexus style and design. Though there's no denying the Note 7's SCREEN AND CAMERA ARE EPIC.
 
Well... It's got to be said, the phone is pretty good, although I am missing some features from my previous Sony's.

I do feel a little bit ripped off by Samsung. I didn't mind when I thought there was a free case and the VR when it was £50 dearer than elsewhere. The case was a complete disappointment (because it wasn't a bloody case!!!!!) and must have cost them an extra 50p to throw it in. The VR is a complete waste of time (only just had time to open the box and try it out), I will need to use it a little bit more - but so far the novelty factor lasted about 30 seconds. If it was integrated with the phone, it may be another story and could be useful (if the image quality was better that is), but having everything restricted to Oculus it's a bit naff. I would have expected that the ability to watch Amazon Prime, Sky Go or even YouTube would be a given - but nope...
 
YouTube can be. Obviously Netflix can be. Amazon don't play with others... no idea what Sky do, I wouldn't be holding my breath for them though.

VR is a novelty thing, but one I like, but many others don't. If it's not your thing, simply sell it on nice and cheap to one of us that perhaps won't get one, but would have liked one :(
