What is everyone's favorite messaging app? The default one is just OK.

Mine was just delivered. They sent me the regular model. I'm ok with it. I don't know about messaging apps. Stay away from Hangouts though.

My SO is on her way with mine too. She should be here any minute. I love my 6P but it's time for the change.

I am loving mine so far. It seems like a much faster responding phone than my s7 was.

Two draw backs, the charging port changed so you either buy new wires or the adapters and not being able to disable Bixby which launched without voice support. I had one error when doing a mobile deposit that told me the phone was too low on resources and to close other programs when I had nothing else running, we will see if that develops into an issue or was a one time thing.

This is a very nice upgrade over my S6.

Right now I'm missing my 6P. I'm trying my damnedest to get gmail onto the home screen. I'm having hell downloading my apps. The phone fits my hand better than any phone I've ever had.

DO NOT apply the new update yet, your phone will start giving you a DQA has stopped working pop up message.

Happened to me.

I Changed the battery to mid and turned the data saver on still had the problem, the battery back to off and turned the data saver back to off, and then rebooted and the problem seems to be gone.

Mine disappeared for a while.. Then it came back this morning. No way I'm keeping this phone with this crap happening.

I always shake my head a people that expect a new release to be bug free, I guess it comes from my experience with games, but everyone should know that in this day and age if you buy at release there will be problems. The phone is really good.

you're amazing. I'm so proud of you. Pay $850 for a phone and expect it to actually work without a popup happening every 30 seconds. Shame on us.

I received my Galaxy S8 on the 20th. Overall, I am enjoying the phone. It's fast, sleek, and it's certainly keeping me entertained compared to the galaxy S5. The one downside I have experienced is either delayed or no reception of text messages. I am unsure if it is a phone issue or cellular provider problem, but it is a frustrating issue to say the least. When I have a phone call, my phone will begin to vibrate as messages begin to pour in that I should've received minutes to hours ago. I am using the default messaging app at this time as well.

//Edited to add: I placed my order for the VR experience already as well. I should be receiving the rest of the goodies by Wednesday.

Stop complaining. It's a new phone. It's going to be buggy. Very basic functions may not work.
