you can tell easily that no one has received it yet because no one is posting their reviews here. check back over the next week. you won't need to start a thread to see them.

I think the op does know that. Reviews will come.

I am new to Android Central and did not post to see my name as a thread starter. Maybe I don't know the rules and apologize for that. I won't post again.

There is nothing you need to apologize for. Starting the review thread was a great idea!

Hi areyes.
Are you from the BB Q10 forums also? You're name seems familiar.

To the OP: hope you too will be sharing your experiences with the device.

My daughter played with one for about 1 hour at Best Buy on Sat... she pre-ordered hers then. I did mine on launch day. She LOVED doing a coloring page in PenUp. We both love the camera features - live photo. I can't wait to use the sPen again! I love being able to write the note on the screen without having to open an app... it works great!

I get mine tomorrow! ??????

Reading the Verge review now. Verge and Engadget are my go to reviews outside of dedicated Android sites.

Re: Note 8 reviews

A lof of the negativity is just the price, but most reviews are pretty good!

 

[Katrina White1]

I'm waiting for YOUR (forum) reviews.

Re: Note 8 reviews

Price, size, and the thought of it being a hardly superior version of an S8+ seem to be the downfalls most reviews have. Upon first seeing the device it definitely looked massive. But after looking at it side by side to my iPhone 7+, it's marginally larger by maybe a few mm at most. Once mine shows up I'll get used to it.

I like the AC editor's review. I feel like he hit the target audience as far as who the device is marketed towards and what makes it a stellar device. Exactly my thoughts that it's not the premium device for a total Android purist, but still a great device.

Sounds like no one is that excited on the secondary camera and no one really liking the live focus quality. I think the LG may get the win in the camera department category this year with its wide angle lens if V30 camera performs.
