    S8 / S8+ First Impressions Thread

    Really loving my new S8+ especially the VR I am learning about downloading VR content like 360 degree movies and 3D from Videoder and watching them on KolorEyes. Developments are continuing to happen; just 10 minutes ago I found that despite previous news you CAN reprogram the Bixby button. i...

    Official: Galaxy S8 / S8+ Pre-Order Thread

    My clock is 1 hour ahead on the automatic date and time setting provided by my network. I had to set it manually and turn off automatic. When I turn it on automatic it goes back to Korean time and 1 hour ahead AM instead of PM. Weird.

    Official: Galaxy S8 / S8+ Pre-Order Thread

    Got mine about 2 hours ago and I'm transferring data from my iPhone 6+ to it. I'm red and green color blind but the screen looked kinda suspect reddish. I'm in the library so I just now called a young lady over who said compared to my iPhone the screen does not look reddish, which is a relief.

    Official: Galaxy S8 / S8+ Pre-Order Thread

    I got a text about a 4 lb package arriving 4.20.17 so I then checked my e-mail. Sure enough it's the S8+ with the VR package. Signature required. Looks like a retired person will have his eyes glued to the front door security monitor tomorrow until it arrives...:D Hey those who already have it...

    Samsung just notified me that my phone and VR package has shipped, due to arrive Thursday 4/20/17 by FedEx. One day early suits me just fine!

    Post your S8 reviews here!

    I pre-ordered the S8+ about a week ago and was curious to go see it. I got a chance to handle the S8+ at Best Buy today and I must admit I was a little underwhelmed, but some might say in a good way. I was taken aback at first look because I was expecting a much larger phone. I put my iPhone 6+...

    Are you buying the Samsung Galaxy S8 / S8+?

    Re: Are you buying the Samsung Galaxy S8? Been two years waiting for the next big thing. I became disappointed with the LG G3 because I found the display was just not bright enough; switched to an iPhone 6+ and jail broke it almost immediately. Loved it for two years but being stuck in version...

    Thinking of converting from iPhone to LG G3

    Quite a few things are already available on the G3 that are not available on the 6 Plus due to Apple's restrictions. To name a few: There is a number row already included in the G3 keyboard. You must hit the "123" button on the iPhone keyboard to get to the numbers. Very annoying to me. The G3...

    G3 user..Who gonna pre-order Iphone 6?

    Dear G3 friends, My name is Urrl and I have a confession to make. I've fallen off the wagon. I got a notification in my email via iPhone Tracker that a 64 GB iPhone 6 Plus was at my local Mall. When I finally got there I got in the "MILE LONG" line of the iSheep herd, feeling silly and out of...

    G3 user..Who gonna pre-order Iphone 6?

    OMG...I'm thinking about Craig's listing my G3 and getting an iPhone 6 Plus when they restock. I just can't get over how much brighter the screen is with more contrast, yet not over saturated with color. Somebody just smack me.
