Former Note 7 and S7 Edge Owner - VERY PLEASED!

So far I am very happy with my S8+. I had the S7 edge which I really liked but this beats it.

Agreed

Dittos for everyone. The S7 Edge that I had to settle with after my Note 7 was on the way out the minute it hit my hands.

Had every Note, since the Note 2. Had to turn in my Note 7 for an S7 Edge. I learned to like it, and it wasn't that bad, but it wasn't the phone I wanted in the first place, so it always felt like the step child. Was so happy to dump it yesterday and get the S8+. This is a very good phone. Better or equal to the Note 7 in every way, except it doesn't have a pen (which honestly I didn't use a whole lot, but would be nice to have).

I think with the Note 7, it became a martyr, because people were forced to give it up. People will never get over it. It's like that high school girlfriend that moved away, and you eventually moved on, but never forgot. Well, until 10 years later and she shows up to a reunion looking like Rosie O'Donnell

Yup, your story sounds just like mine. And funny but true point!! I was a grumpy ******* for months when the Note 7 topic came up. I did however hang onto it until the day of Samsung's unpack event for the S8, where I finally mailed it back to Samsung. I could both use it because I had to fly all the time.

I have subsequently managed to get the home button to work, but I sure tried and tried and failed the first time. Another member replied to me with the advice to "swipe up" from the bottom of the phone, and sure enough, that showed the navigation buttons. So, that's the real solution if you're in a game or app that won't show the navigation buttons.

Never heard of swiping up from the bottom. On Android it's swipe down from the top. I assumed you already tried that.
