Hi @BrendonH

I'm very intrigued to find out what it actually is all about 😉

Many thanks,

Lee

Looks nice as usual but full of useless apps..... like all mobile providers they try and sell these apps as services you will use but in reality they are just bloat. 

How many people will use bixby really. 

[Damienw1]

@Northerner I won't use bixby but I'm still pre ordering 

[BrendonH]

I'll be prepared ordering too.

Coral Blue S8 Plus.

[Damienw1]

The Samsung site only has black or grey for pre order have you seen something different @BrendonH

[Northerner]

@Damienw1

Which one S8 or S8+ 

I really want to pre order but after the note 7 fiasco......

[Damienw1]

@Northerner I'm leaning towards the s8+ due to the bigger battery but not sure if the phone will be to big shall I press the button? 

[Lee_H]

Hi @Northerner

Samsung has introduced multiple measures to improve battery safety and quality, including an all-new 8-point battery check.

For further information, please visit: http://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/galaxy-story/note7-press-conference-detail/

Hope this helps,

S8+ it has to be, it will be the one I get. 

@Lee_H I suppose I have house and content insurance if it bursts into flames when on charge..

[BrendonH]

S8+ has been pre-ordered. Coral Blue wasn't available from launch from Samsung.co.uk so I went for black.

[Damienw1]

@BrendonH I'm trying to pre order but it won't go past the do you want to add insurance page did you have an issue

Can somebody from EE confirm 4G calling and Wi-Fi Calling support? Will EE support devices bought from anywhere or just EE?

The launch event showed Black, Grey, Blue, Gold and one other can't remember.

Would have liked Blue to have something different have had Black, White and Gold phones. But I went for black afterwards.

No issue for me.

I went for the Pay4Later option as I want to pay monthly as I can't afford it in one lump sum.

Also gives me the option to pgrade to S9 next year if I want.

I didn't add insurance as I have Protect my Bubble on my S6 edge at moment and will just transfer that to my S8+

[BrendonH]

Also liking that we can get it up to 8 days early through Samsung.co.uk

🙂

They do with the S7 so I don't see why not with the S8

(WiFi calling at least anyway)

@Lee_H can you onfirm if they will on Vo4G?

[BrendonH]

@Damienw1

Any luck on your pre-order? You managed to get past the insurance section?

[Damienw1]

Yes thanks @BrendonH s8+ pre ordered I went for orchid gray for a change from my black S7 edge is the 8 days early the 19th or 8 days before that do you think?
