Showing one in stock around me now but I really wanted to do the Best Buy deal. None on display anywhere either. I hate buying it without a chance to check it out first.

This would be my fifth VZW phone from BB and the first time none available at launch. Considering not many VZW stores had them until today, maybe a supply issue. Me thinks the BB $200 might be in jeopardy. If no $200, I will just get from Verizon.

Is everyone buying this phone without even being able to check it out first or am I the only one that can't find it on display anywhere?

There is no comparison the note 7 wins

I just got the LG v20 and I miss the note 7 already, the screen on the v20 looks super dim to me, but if the battery is better than the Moto x pure I was using, it will have to do til the note 8 drops

Well at least you got a V20 my local Best Buy didn't have them today at all and don't know when they are coming? Went to turn in my Note 7 where I bought it for one and nada. Swapped for a S7 edge for now till one comes in. Frustrating. Already missing my N7.

You should be happy with signal for LTE. The V20 makes the Note 7 seem like an iPhone 4 being held wrong. You do not notice it in a strong signal area. Ignorance is bliss otherwise.

Unexpectedly, mine were nearly identical. This is sitting in my bedroom. I did my very best to hold them exactly the same way, moving them even an inch or two makes the numbers go up or down by about 3 dbm. But they are freakishly identical. Maybe you had a bad note 7.

Which is which? I see four very different readings, ranging from -103 to -115. That is a pretty big difference. Maybe I am seeing them wrong.

sorry about that. put three screenshots of the Galaxy Note 7. It's the one with the IP address 10. 200. 200. 170.

Sitting here in my bedroom, moving it just an inch or two, it will swing a lot and I was just trying to demonstrate that it does the same with the v20. The v20 has the IP adress 10. 200. 200. 114

Sitting on this bench side by side , with my hands away from them, they stabilized at -109 and -110 dbm , -109 being the Note 7.

That's why I say they seem to be nearly identical because they don't really show any differently until I actually physically touch them. Even still though when I pick them up, I can make them be the exact same number. I should probably do a video on that.

I have both still. Note7 is supperior in almost every way but one. The curved screen made it hard to hold the phone in landscape and watch movies without hitting the screen with your fingers...other then that, note7 was perfect. My v20 is ok though.

Two "bad" Note 7s I guess. Compared them to multiple devices and the Note 7 was weakest with LTE. Not the only person to mention this, BTW. Enjoy your Note 7. You returning the V20?

Really? Me and a million other people they're still using theirs... :)

Can't believe that many people with N7s apparently do not have to fly anywhere, unless they hide them, or use something else (too much of a pain to juggle phones IMO). Either the stat is bogus, or a lot of non flying device jugglers :)

Audio quality! Okay, as much of a Sammy fangirl as I am... And I realize this is completely subjective... The LG v20 blows the Note 7 away... Sorry Sammy the truth hurts. Audio quality is outstanding even with just a halfway decent set of headphones. I'm really surprised!

And another win for the LG v20! I'm not exactly sure how this is working, but when I do an internet speed test connected to my home wireless network , the v20 connects at 100% of the speed that I pay for, which is 50 megabits per second down and 10 megabits per second up. My Samsung phone has never done that. Screenshots below
