Not exactly. I was due to receive mine today but they called me this morning to say they had some kind of issue with my upgrade - something about it showing as being reversed on their system, despite everything mine and Vodafone's end being fine. They initially said th at they couldn't give me the handset, I assume because if I cancelled the upgrade directly with Vodafone they'd be ****ed. After trying to think of alternative ways to let me have the handset today they ended up giving up and trusted me to take it and asked me to come back in a couple of days to solve the upgrade issue.
Not one picture of a delivered phone?
Come on guys, show them off
Everyone's busy now
But, if you insist
P.S.: What is with the prepaid Royal Mail bag they included? Is there a reason we should be worried now?

Anyone upgraded from a note 5 here? Some initial thoughts would be nice to know
I have a Note 5 and whilst I have my Note 7, I've not really had a chance to play with it. Will let you know what I think tomorrow
Key perk, without even using it, will be the extra storage available. 32GB was so limiting for me.
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
That's good.
Mine can be tracked now, I reckon yours will be the same.
Did you order a case?

OK Thanks ^_^ Struggling here with the 32gb, should have kept the 64gb one I had !

Really? Can I put a request for everyone not to post pictures
Even more so, please don't quote someone's long picture post entirely in your own post
So, CPW orderers, do we get any kind of tracking info? Mine was a click and collect ordered 24th which they said would be delivered today. I've had nothing since.

New contract or upgrade ? Who with ? Thanks.

It is! out for delivery today
Yep! I got two cases. The official Samsung leather cover (from Mobile Fun UK) and Spigen Rugged Armor (from Amazon). The leather cover looks and feels amazing! However, I feel that the leather might be prone to scratches as its a little on the soft side (i'll update you once I've tried it out for a bit with the phone).
The Rugged Armor case by Spigen is surprisingly nice! Looks much better than it does in review videos.

I got mine yesterday, got sms messages and emails telling me it was out with DPD. Mine was a Vodafone upgrade so your mileage may vary.
Seems nice to me, hardly noticed any lag myself.
With my last android phone being a HTC Hero, coming from an iPhone 6 I was expecting a laggy mess however I've been pleasantly surprised.
Screen is lovely, both in vibrancy and the 'edge' gives the impression of no side bezels at all. Android is running smooth and snappy.
Camera is stonking, both in quality and speed of taking photos but we knew that.
Games (well by games I mean Pokemon Go) seem to be smoother on my iPhone 6 however I hardly play anything these days anyway.
Only issue i've had is the iris scanner. Registered my eyes after about 3 attempts and it's worked about 30% of the time I've tried to use it. Maybe I have wonky eyes?
