Also, they keyboard and predictive text is much much better than on the note 7. The note would let me type garbage words and not correct them.
The Gear Promo has been extended to the 23rd, was able to get it today... I called and was told it was extended so anyone who hasn't done it should take advantage of it!Same. Picked mine up yesterday, last day of the gear vr promo. Been pretty happy with the s7e so far

As much as I loved my Note 7 I just couldn't see keeping a phone I was not comfortable with. So I'm a new S7 Edge owner as of tonight. I'll do some nosing around here for tips.
The upside of this whole fiasco is I got a free 32" Samsung Smart TV for buying the S7 Edge tonight.
I wonder if there will be a s7 edge shortage now that we all are switching from note 7 to s7 edge ?
I mean if so in a way that is a bit of a good thing for Samsung so that they can retain customer within their brand.. did anyone get the $100 credit Samsung is offering? Best buy said they don't know about it so I didn't get it
When I spoke with a Verizon rep on the phone before I placed the order on BestBuy's website she said that when the new phone contract plan (associated with my phone number and the Note 7) hits their system it triggers a thing that causes them to send out a box for the Note 7. When that Note 7 is confirmed to be shipping to them or is received by them and the new s7 edge is activated then the refunding of the Note 7 and the $100 bill credit will both activate on the account.I think I'm going to get screwed out of the $100... I'm getting the S7E outright, and I wanted to get the Black Onyx. The only color not available for 250 miles from my area. I had to order it through the best buy web site, but they have this weird thing that doesn't allow them to ship inventory to other stores, they have to come out of the regional warehouses. So there basically isn't any Black Onyx S7Edge in my area.
Since I had to order it and have it shipped to my house, I have to return my Note 7 when my S7E gets here on Tuesday as opposed to exchanging the N7 for the S7E in store. What a pain. I did manage to get my S7E, unlocked and expedited to arrive on Tuesday, for a dollar less than the total retail cost of the device.
The s7 edge battery is bigger, so that should lead to more battery life if the software was the same. I think the bulkier non-Grace UI of the s7 edge, and to a smaller degree the higher PPI (518 for the Note7 vs 534 for the s7edge) might account for a bit more battery drain on the s7edge.I now have the S7edge too. First real full day without processing an update and the battery hasn't been as good as my note. By 9pm I would still have 30% left. Maybe a couple of more cycles and it will get better.
I don't understand why they'd be different unless you are using different keyboard apps (Swiftkey vs Samsung's build in keyboard).Also, they keyboard and predictive text is much much better than on the note 7. The note would let me type garbage words and not correct them.

I've just exchanged my Note7 for a S7 Edge phone + 128 gb micro SD card, and a fast charge wireless charger. I really miss Note7's touchwiz version. They should update the S7 Edge to the Note7 software version (of course without the S-Pen features).
By the way, is it normal that 10% of the battery life was consumed during the 7 hours I was sleeping? It also overheated a lot when I tested the Wireless charger.
Can any S7 Edge owner confirm me how does the battery life should last over night?

I was told by the Samsung rep that although the link says the 9th,you should choose the 9th for the purchase date and still upload the receipt and it will still go through as long as it's before the 23rdI'm not seeing that it has been extended? Went on the Samsung site, and can't find that it has been updated. Can you provide a link?
Does this include the SD card as well?I was told by the Samsung rep that although the link says the 9th,you should choose the 9th for the purchase date and still upload the receipt and it will still go through as long as it's before the 23rd
