One Week To Go!

[SammyOnMyMind]

Well, I'm off until that following Friday, so I won't have to worry about calling in.

My ritual after setup is generally to modify my phone's system settings. Maximizing battery power is of the utmost importance to me, then phone appearance and accessibility. Things like changing the system font and adding wallpapers to downloading keyboard language packs (I speak Spanish also) and oganizing my TouchWiz options.

Apps are generally last on the list because I can go on for hours. By the time I finish everything, the initial charge from battery is gone (which is what I want). Lastly, I recharge the phone (with it still off) to full charge before turning it on again.

I'm ready for next week to get here!

YESSSSSSSS anime! I love you even more now! Re: Zero would look great on my new phone.

I watch a heap of anime. All of them would look gorgeous on that display.

Well all the rumors of pre orders opening up this week at T-Mobile for August 2nd delivery looks fake as of now. Aug 2nd announcement with Aug 15 official release looks more realistic. As usual carriers will open up pre orders after announcement and T-Mobile is going to ship way early like every other Samsung flagship.

Do you think Otterbox will have a Defender case by then so I can order one to have right away when I buy the phone? Just in case the store doesn't have the cases yet. Hopefully the imitation ones will be on amazon before release but I doubt it. I guess I'll have to spend $$$ if I want a heavy protective case if I get the phone when it's just out. I would think I could order the Defender on Amazon sooner than the stores will have it. However Otterbox doesn't even having a coming soon photo on their website so I doubt a defender will be in stores on release or even sold on amazon.

Not sure .... I'm more of a slim case or no case guy. I would say buy some case out of Amazon which you like until otterbox releases. You have 30 days to return on Amazon so if otterbox releases something in that time then you can return the one you bought.

True. The only one that really has a built in screen protector that is out already is Supcase Unicorn Beetle. I don't consider it that heavy of a duty case. I've had it for my S7 I have now and the not 5. I would NOT trust dropping my phone with it and it's made cheap but better than nothing I guess. I might wait a few weeks too then to buy the phone until I get my hands on a good case. Spending possibly $800 and using a cheap arse case is not worth it.

Customize ....

As for storage and available options, depending on price, as much storage as possible. I would love at least 128 gb but I do not believe Verizon would ever provide that option.

So in celebration of Aug. 2 being a week away, I wanted to know what was the first thing you'll do with your phone when you get it?

And a bonus question: IF they offer storage selection, what route will you go?

This is a post for people who want to have fun, so all snark or Note 7 hate, I'd kindly ask you to remain OUTSIDE of the velvet rope. Thanks LOL

Set it up exactly like my Note 3 which will take about 20 hours over the course of a week. Setting up apps (app data) is what takes all the time.

Looks like Verizon is giving out 2 bonus gigs for new device activations, on their new Verizon plan.... Prefect timing

 

[PlaybookFanatic]

Yeah... I was thinking the same thing. What are we missing? Everyone is talking like it's going to be in their hands that day.

There could be a chance this go round, actually.

Could be.

Yes, I do. Otter has ALWAYS had cases ready to go at any major phone launch since I worked telecom.

What are the chances that this could be sold out by all carriers by the end of the week? Assuming it is released the same day or a few days later. I'm sure it would be on backorder for sometime. I'm in no major hurry but sometime before I go in vacation in September.

Hard to say. I really loved Gate (a.k.a Rory in my avatar). I am hoping for a Season 2 .

You'll be fine. Promise.

I haven't watched that yet. Wasn't sure if I was going to like it. You know how animes are season 2s. LOL

I bought my S7 about a week after it hit the stores. I only have one Tmobile store within 25 miles from, all the other ones are near Sarasota and in Lee county so I called the only one which is in the mall and they were out of them. However they told me UPS had a shipment and they'd have more the next day which they did.

Does the Note line generally sell as well as the S7, S7 edge line on release?

The Note definitely doesn't hurt from sales but the Galaxy S series usually sells a lot more.

 

[Blues Fan]

That is what I figured. I see a lot more people with the S line than the Note line. Just like the Iphone I don't see as many people lugging the huge 6/S Plus around like i do the regular sized Iphone

I doubt Samsung figures to sell as many Notes as compared to the S line. To be honest I don't see a ton of people with Note 5s.
