So who is ready for the s8? I am! I am planning on getting a s8 Edge or a s8 Active (if they will be available with Verizon, that would be my dream!). Anyone have any rumours about these devices?

Active is an Att exclusive, won't ever be on verizon. And not yet, it is still early.
Actually, it is possible. Samsung currently has a contract with AT&T that says they get the Active phones, BUT when this contract expires, the Active is free to whoever Samsung wants it to be.
I don't know how reputable her sources were but I had a conversation with a Samsung rep about the s8 and she said that samsung is going more towards a foldable screen so the s8 will turn into a tablet and have an edge on the right side while in phone mode.

Well, that's all I gave you.Gee guys, I was just asking your thoughts on the matter.

All previous Samsung phones had no problem with anything close to what's happening with the Note 7. The problem facing the Note 7 happened by chance and no one knew, or even suspected, it might happen or they wouldn't have released the phone. Samsung didn't deviate from what they've been doing all along. The fact that the battery turned out to be a problem doesn't reflect on anything else they did, as nothing was done differently from any other phone they ever made. Given that, there's really no reason to change anything on the upcoming phones... except for better testing (hopefully!), now that they know better. Anyways, making the next phone better than the Note 7 won't do anything to help the current situation. It also wouldn't make up anything for current Note 7 owners... unless they gave each current owner a free Note 8!

Do you think Samsung will up the ante on the upcoming S8 so as to compensate for the Note 7 debacle? Is it logistically possible for Samsung to give extra features and specs on the S8 at this stage of development?
The Note 7 was released Aug 2016... one year after the Note 5 which was released Aug 2015. I'm not sure where these analysts got their info. If anything was rushed to release, it wasn't the Note 7, but rather the Note 5 which was released less than a year after the Note 4. The "analyst" said the same thing about the Note 5 release... being done to get it out before the iPhone 6.You say Samsung hasn't done anything different. It seems to be the common consensus of industry analysts that Samsung rushed the Note 7 into production to give it an early release before iPhone 7.
