Does pre-ordering at the Samsung store still get you the gear vr and controller?
And can we use fido dollars there?

FYI,

Sammobile is having a deal, pre-order through one of their select parts, and they will give you a gift ontop of whatever Samsung is giving...

And this is the gift... half year subscription.... talk about useless, and pointless

Update: Now that the Galaxy S8 is official, we can reveal what special gift we’re going to offer. If you pre-order the Galaxy S8 through one of our partners in the aforementioned countries you will receive a guaranteed half-year subscription to SamMobile Premium which is a €35 value. Not only that, you’ll also be entered into our monthly draw to win one of three Galaxy S8 units that will be up for grabs.

S8+ is one pricey phone. Not sure if I'm completely sold on it as I'm using the S7 Edge and only have had it for 6 months. I've always been a Note series user, I do want to go back to a bigger phone. Choices

If you have an S7 I'd wait till the Note 8 drops.

What I like about it: Slim bezels, build quality looks good.

What I don't like: Shitty finger print scanner location. Should have a dual camera now.

I'm gonna wait and see what the Note and Pixel 2 offer.

Don't really see any features that would make an S7/S7+ owner want to update.. The S6 to S7 jump was pretty substantial.

I second that. Been thinking of selling my S7 Edge for awhile now since I also have a 1+3.

Im not liking the S8 series myself either..

Mainly the gimmicky edge screens... GOOD cases and screen protectors combos are still gona be hard to find. Then I really dnt find much use for it.

Im laying on my bed and have the time on the edge but cant even see the time.. lol..

My first and last Samsung device.. I might go with the next pixel phone or the OnePlus phone..

That screen looks beautiful but the location of fingerprint scanner is just awful.

Best fingerprint sensor has to be on the back.

I like what Huawei did with the Nexus and their other phones. Too bad the P10 took a backwards step in design.

Except they put it beside the camera lens where its hard to reach. Even the official Samsung commercial has the dude using his other hand to touch the fingerprint scanner. Watch MKBHD's video, guy has ginormous hands and he could not reach it without adjusting his hold on the phone.

Sorry, I forgot to mention it should be lower on the back.
