I wouldn't go for the S8 unless it has at least a 5.5 inch screen. Would consider the next note but right now I doubt I would switch. The 7+ is really nice and my wife has an iPhone. It's nice being able to facetime her from anywhere. One thing stopping me from going full iOS is android wear...
Went with a 7+ and back to IOS after 3 years. I'll switch to my backup Nexus 6p when I want an Android fix. There wasn't any other Android phone that interested me.
The Note 7 was a great phone. It had a top of the line camera and display, always on display, water proofing, removable storage and fast wireless and cable charging. I used the S Pen all the time. It also looked and felt great. Nothing else had that combination of features. It's a shame...
Quite happy, back on IOS after 3 years. Miss alot of the features that others have mentioned (always on display. led notification, wireless charging, themes, icons, fast charging, display, spen) but the 7+ is super smooth and the battery is amazing.
Re: Time to switch
Check the Best Buy thread. They are accepting returns now.

Thanks for posting. Will wait a couple of days for the news to trickle down to the stores and return. Not interested in the S7 edge. I'll just wait and see if Samsung reissues the Note 7 again.
Re: Best Buy Returns?
I picked up my replacement on 9/21 so I'm just outside of the normal return window of 15 days. If Best Buy ends up allowing returns I'll just return the Note 7 and stick with my backup Nexus 6p.
I could never get the gift card from my first note 7 to work. The same gift card was reissued on the replacement Note 7 and it worked. Entered it as a credit card so I didn't even have to bother with the pin. Used it as a partial payment at a self check out and was able to use another card...
