    Is Samsung listening to all this???

    The S7 Edge is my first Android phone, coming from an iPnone 6+. Big mistake! First silver S7 had blown speaker out of the box, and my black replacement has horrible battery life, is sluggish and locks up. Unfortunately, my first experience with Android and Samsung has been poor. The OS and...

    Silver Edge speaker blown straight out of box

    Of course, anything man made and imperfect can and will have issues. Again, the form factor of the S7 Edge and hardware are awesome. I just wish the internals were iOS. Of course, I am a life long iOS user, and Android is new to me so I expected a learning curve....I just didn't expect an...

    Who's switching from iPhone 6 /6s/plus to s7 edge

    Re: Unfortunately not for me :/ My new silver Edge out of the box had a blown speaker. Now, my black (all they had) is glitchy and sluggish. Also, my battery has been very bad as well. Funny thing is, I have notifications turned off, no apps running, and my battery drained 21% last night...

    Silver Edge speaker blown straight out of box

    It could be. I am not paranoid nor am I making this up. Granted, I'm used to iOS and have never owned an Android device, so maybe my expectations are unrealistic. I guess I am frustrated that my new silver S7 edge was bad out of the box (yes I realize any phone can be bad), and now the black...

    S7 Edge - Verizon preorders

    ummmmmm, ok I have obviously been with iOS wayyyyyy too long. Granted, it has it's advantages, but my goodness I am loving this Edge with Marshmallow. It's so much more customizable and fun to use. Sorry, I am 45 years old and feel like I am 10 again lol. This phone is amazing.

    S7 Edge - Verizon preorders

    Or, if ours get denied, we will get a $50,000 gift certificate to anywhere of our choice? We can dream a little right. Btw, I own an iPhone 6s plus and the S7E is my first Android phone which I must say that I am very impressed. Of course, right now, trying to navigate and set the phone up is...

    S7 Edge - Verizon preorders

    my silver S7E is on the truck as of 8:20am this morning for delivery. The facility is only 30 minutes away, so I hope the driver bypasses all of his other stops and gets to my front door first!!! hahaha

    S7 Edge - Verizon preorders

    Amen to that!! I selected the free prime for 30 days yesterday, and so far am impressed how quick the shipping is but am not impressed with how quickly I will lose money over the next 30 days lol.
