Dammit... I gave in...!!!

Same here. Whe n the S8 was announced I told myself I will skip it. I was happy with my S7 and was content on waiting for the Note 8 or even the next iPhone but once I actually held it and played with it for about 15 minutes in a T-mobile store I ended up getting it right there on the spot. Dont regret it at all.

You can't go wrong with the S8+ and in Orchid Grey no less !!!

I have the same and no " pink " on my screen yay !

Enjoy your new phone !

Can't agree more. Have the same set up. What case do you have on it, if any? I've got a Grey Speck on mine.

I normally always go ummmm naked with all my phones but after fumbling my phone once and dropping it ........ I'll be getting some kind of case haaaaaaa ?!?!

Sounds like a great phone-and-case setup! And the Orchid Grey was a great choice! Enjoy your new phone!

I'm also in the club of saying I'll probably stick with my s7 edge and look at the Note 8.

After trying out both the s8 phone variants I just found the s8 to hit the sweet spot with its dimensions and because it's not as wide as my s7 edge it's just so comfortable to hold.

The Note 8 is reported to be a bigger screen than the s8 + which would be the tipping point.

So I pulled the trigger yesterday and am currently setting it up which probably takes a little longer than normal as I personally prefer not to use Back Ups made via other phones.

It's such a slick phone

Mightily impressed coming from my N6P, which I love BTW and still think it's one of the best phablets you can buy, more so with it being Vanilla Android

But I'm not missing the Vanilla Android experience, don't count myself as too a heavy user, and Android N on the S8+ is more than enough for my needs!

I too have done a fresh start on the S8+ and amazed at what apps I had that I rarely used!

Cases arrived today; very impressed with them. Still nervous about not having a screen protector, this will be the first phone I've ever had and not used a tempered glass protector!!! But, this stems for having an S7 Edge for all of 2 days, went through 5 tempered glass and film screen protectors and they were all useless! So, sold it on and bought the N6P instead!

64GB SD card installed as well; so lots of room for storage of pics and music etc

Can I ask how you like your wallet case? I have the S7 still and have decided that screen protectors are a thing of the past with curvy screens. Never had a wallet case... Wondering if it will impede my one handed use.

I am curious about this too. I am in need of a new wallet and wondering if I can kill 2 birds. Just not sure how much I would like using the phone in a case like that though.

Firstly, Congratulations on your purchase! Glad to see you are enjoying it Sometimes, It's a good thing to give in. If you want something and you can afford it, why punish yourself haha. That leather case looks very cool, Spigen always bring their 'A' game.

If you have time, let us know how the battery life is. Most seem to be getting very good results.

Mines great! Not charged it since I got it on Friday, but it'll be ready for a charge this evening i'd say

Thought about getting a wireless charger too; but decided against it as I like to use a plugged in charger and I've got the Spigen aluminium stands on my desk for both my mobiles!

Well; sad story to the S8 Plus fun

It cacked itself; screen went a solid red and wouldn't go back to normal, so returned to Samsung, sold it's replacement and bought myself a Note 5

Main reason is that now matter how good the S8 Plus was; the fact that the screen seems to be so soft and scratch prone, I couldn't keep on with it.

The Note 5 is still a damned good phablet and with a flat screen, easy to sort a tempered glass screen protector

Congrats. Moved to the S8+ after only 6 months on the S7E and it's a bigger upgrade than I thought it would be. Much snappier, much bigger screen and doesn't get hot or lag.
