I will be pre-ordering my Galaxy S8+ from T-Mobile tonight. This is one beautiful phone. Cell phones are my one vice so this will be used along side my iPhone 7 Plus. I'm really looking forward to the massive nearly edge to edge screen. Who else will be picking one up? Yes I know it's expensive ($850) but I'm not buying this to try and get a deal. I like to try the newest, latest, greatest tech.

Can't relate. I loathe wasting money on newest, latest, greatest tech anything when they are half priced a month from now.

Gorgeous phone.
Infinity display, iris scanner, face recognition, along with fast wireless charging. Man, Apple has a lot of catching up to do.

This won't be half price in a month.

Really? Have you priced one year old Flagship phones? You should. Not half price.

completely agree. Apple needs to really step it up. The S8 looks great. Will be interested to see about the software.

I'm using my Nexus 6 with custom ROMS and the like until it dies. $300 for a phone is a lot better than $800. Nice phone, but it's not going to give me anything I don't already use with what I've got.

Unlock the bootloaders and maybe I'll buy one a year from now when they're $400-500 used... though probably not.

I'm not impressed. I don't see one killer new feature. The G6 looks every bit as nice. The Moto Z and its' modes are pretty ground breaking. What's this do? Docks into a computer?...an Android Computer? Yawn... Yet ANOTHER Voice assistant? Yawn....

True. I know Apple has its fans, but they are way behind many of these Android phones now. I like the Galaxy phones, but I prefer the LG brand for the removable battery feature.

Maybe it'll explode bigger and better than the Note 7?!
How's that for a real "killer" feature?

Sorry, couldn't resist joking about it.
