I guess you changed your mind. I did find one for three hundred on eBay. I've never used eBay is there any reason I shouldn't

No. Just hesitant about letting my baby go and hating the HTC nexus. The 6p is so buttery smooth and the dual front facing speakers are a YUUGE plus that I'm not sure i want to give up. You'd have to make a pretty good offer for me to have to sport my old LG G3 for 2 months. I'm not against selling it. Not for 300 though. That must be a 64 not 128.

Everybody that has a 6p loves it. I'm getting this 5x fixed next week but I'm still getting a 6p. Best buy has refurbished for 399. I'm too nervous to buy off of eBay. I was really wanting the OnePlusthree but oh well. My girlfriend has an honor 5x that she loves but I'd keep my 5x if I was going to go that route. So what would you take for it?

Come on man, how much do you really want for it? I'll probably get the refurbished at best buy.I can't justify spending 500 on a used phone that I can get new for 400. I understand the price though.

My issue isn't with Android, but Samsung. Their phones are shite.



Samsung phones just wear me out. At first, I'm impressed with something, screen size, quality, pen, whatever. In time, the absolutely horrible UI and unexciting build quality left me ready for something else.

I tried Samsung 3 times, and I just can't go back until they completely abandon Touchwiz.

I have the 128gb. They still want 650 for it online. If you can get a 128gb for less than 500 I'd jump all over it if I were you.

ETA- it was 750 new 8 months ago. Also, the best buy units are refurbs, not new. They are also 32 and 64gb, not 128.

My first honest impressions of the Note 7 are that it's easily the most comfortable large phone I've ever held. It feels really compact for a device with a 5.7 inch display.

It looks tiny next to my 6P even though they have the same 5.7 screen size. It's much more comfortable than the S7Edge. The curves are much more subtle and not as sharp.

It's a beautifully crafted device. It feels premium without feeling as fragile as previous Samsungs that have the back glass design.

I probably wont be getting mine until Tuesday

I preordered it in early August and it JUST left Fort Worth Wednesday Night on UPS Ground. Heading to Portland, OR

I thought if I preordered it, I would be getting it in the mail by Launch Day. So much for that.

So much for preordering, would have been better off walking into a store and buying it today instead.

It definitely feels smaller but isn't. Had it right next to my note 5. Gave my son the note 5 and got me the 7. Zero issues so far. Very comfortable. I've had it unplugged since 7 this morning and right now I'm at 93%. Service actually was better than the 5 too. I live in sw Arkansas and on my drive home everyday I loose a call in this one spot. Yesterday drive right thru it and didn't even crackle.

Just talked to AT&T. They said the reason I won't be getting it today is because they first ship phones to the location of your area code. Since my area code is 817 - Fort Worth, TX, thats why it initially got shipped there and then they have to re-route it to Washington, where I currently live.

Thanks for the updates... I've been keeping an eye out for user feedback since I plan on getting one soon, so if you have any other thoughts about the phone, I'd be interested to hear them.

One thing to share with you if haven't seen it:

TNW opinion piece - new Note scratches easy

Basically, the guy who wrote this is saying the new Gorilla Glass 5 is supposedly much better at shatter resistance (supposedly survives 80% of shoulder height drops)... but this appears to be at the expense of scratch-resistance. He's already put a couple of nicks on the glass from his keys.

That's the only bad thing I've heard to this point.

I heard the same same thing regarding guerilla glass 5 as well. I am usually pretty careful and prefer to use my phones naked or with a skin.

So far I've been really happy with the new overhaul of the settings,notification shade, and quick toggles. Touchwiz is less messy, but still not perfect. It's definitely come along way.

I have been impressed with the S pen and how intuitive it has become. I never was a pen guy and on previous Notes had to force myself to use it. It's so easy to take notes even without having to open an app or unlock the phone it's really convenient.

I could see someone who is really into social media loving this phone as well. It so easy to create animated gifs and to write on photos then share to all platforms.

Notes always had a lot of features that were not implemented well or flat out didn't work well. This phone seems extremely polished. That's how I would best describe it.

How do you set it to where you can steadily scroll through the screens on the Home screen? My old note, you could just swipe and it would go from screen 1 to screen 2 to screen 3 and then back to screen 1. When this new one gets to screen 3, it stops and I have to go back the other way.

I've already turned off all the other shite I don't like, like the led lights on the bottom buttons and vibration when you type. But can't figure this swipe thing out.
