UK N8'ers

[UKgalaxy]

To be fair it's stuck down pretty well, I've not used a wet application before but it all went well.
They do say to leave it overnight so I'll do all the swapping from my Note 3 in the morning.

I used the neo flex on my S8+ and found it to be quite good. Any bubbles will naturally disappear after a day or so. Later swapped it for a tempered glass one as I preferred the feel of the glass. Won't go far wrong with spigen products.

She is a beast alright ??????

Arrived bang on time.
Samsung bag and thank you card enclosed.

First thing I did was flash EE firmware to activate 4G VoLTE.
Just setting rest up now.

After chasing my local ukmail depot I also received my note 8 today. Took a while to set up as switched from ios. Really pleased so far, I'm using a spigen liquid air case, just going to attempt to fit my screen protector now.

 

[SpartanSmurf]

Yeah Samsung pre order.


Also Whitestone in stock on amazon

I know to each their own but it really boggles my mind that people have such a problem with the fingerprint sensor location maybe my hands are really big and maybe I just don't care and maybe I'm really dexterous but I try to make mistakes and it's just easy not to.. hmm not important. loving the camera! loving the screen size. connecting to my insurance so u vann breathe better

Never ever had a problem with the sensor on my S8. Doesn't matter on my N8 either.

Just picked mine up from the depot. Surprised to see that included in the box was a small fabric samsung carry bag (which I'll palm off to the wife!) And a small thank you card. Nice little touches! If it were Apple is half expect a note demanding more money!!!

Yeah, what's with the handbag?

 

[mgbosshogg]

Phone is a beast love it.

For anyone thinking it's not a worthy upgrade from the S8, it's in another league.
I use it for work and can already see ways it will streamline work flow.

Couple of things -
No idea what the wee handbag is about

The thank you card for spending an exorbitant amount of money is a nice touch.

My Spigen ultra hybrid case is great, apart from its a little difficult to get the spen out ( I have no nails).

I'm still on the factory screen protector. I have an invisible defender to put on ala my S8. They have wings which curve round the back of the phone under the case.

I unboxed it, signed in to Google then let it update.
I then re flashed the firmware with EE's own to get 4G VoLTE. This also got the recent update and VoLTE is working. Vowifi also works.
( it takes 4hrs to download the firmware on a free account. Anybody wanting it give me a shout.)

Can't comment on battery v S8 etc yet or the camera et al, but will do in coming days and weeks.

Enjoy UK N8'ers.

Love mine too, just about all set up. Case is on, do prefer it naked but too much of a risk!
Have any of you claimed your Dex Station yet. I'm struggling with which document to upload as proof of purchase. The instructions say it must show invoice/receipt number, date of pre order, retailer logo, qualifying products and price paid. I haven't an actual invoice attachment from samsung that shows all those. Have delivery note but doesn't show pre order date or price paid? What are the rest of you sending?

Done mine last night. All I did was screen shot the dispatch email and order email confirmation on my S8 and uploaded from there. If there's any problems I would imagine samsung would get in touch. They also request order number and IMIE number anyway so should be also to confirm your order from that.

Filled the form in this morning. If you go to my orders on Samsung.co.uk it shows the order number, date, price etc. I uploaded a screen shot of that.

Loving mine too I'm well impressed!
Got the Samsung Rugged kickstand case with the Spigen Neo Flex screen protector, only thing I'll say about this is if I was using the phone naked, I wouldn't use this screen protector as you can slightly feel the edges when swiping in, but with the case on its unnoticeable.
I also claimed for the Dex, just sent a couple of pics containing price, order number etc.
Also had 1 scary moment after dropping it, with no case on, but it landed on a wooden chair phew!

How hard is it to flash as I want WiFi calling

Thanks everyone, I've done it now. And yes I'd be interested to hear an explanation about wifi calling and why I need it? Do I need it??

 

[fitcherama]

Sorry to be a pain. How do I claim the Dex station from Samsung?

Flashing is easy. Takes about 10 minutes. ( although fw download is about 4hrs+ with a free account- I can send you if you want, already done for a friend so have hosted)

Who you with? WiFi calling works out the box for me.
Have you turned it on?
