Got it today as well ! Phone is wicked. The display is gorgeous. Very slim and well fitting in the hand.
No shipping notification. Just showed up. Unexpected but they threw in a nice little bonus item for those who order direct from Samsung. It's an Amplifier Speaker Dock, looks cool but is kinda useless haha Amplifier Speaker Dock coming with Galaxy S8 pre-orders | Pocketnow

The location is inconvenient. The iris scanner does work great and it is quite fast. For when times, where I'm not holding the phone up then I just use the lock pattern.

I've been using this for my S7 Edge for a year and now with my S8. Cheaper than the Samsung one and also has 2 coils vs 1. Very happy with it. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B01J0R...CML&ref=plSrch
Using this fast qi charger dock in my car and works great, would highly recommend to anyone that wants a wireless charging car dock.

I don't think my Smart Lock is working the way it's suppose to. it keeps asking me for my PIN every time.
I programmed a trusted place for it.
At first it seemed to work as I would press the home button, then swipe. Now I press the home button and have to put in my PIN. or I double tap the notification and then I have to put in my PIN.
I've tried both letting the phone auto lock itself after 5 seconds and by pressing the power button. Same result.
I usually don't put any security on my phones cuz i find it really annoying to have to always do an extra step, but the Paybyphone app doesn't allow you to use it without setting up security.

Got mine this morning. Awesome phone! Iris scanner is really quick. The 'speaker' dock is just a stand that amplifies the phone speaker. Free is free I guess.

Played around with the S8+ today. Pretty damn nice phone and damn does it ever feel good in the hand.
The temptation to buy is real.

Once you familiarize yourself with the basic phone functions, I highly suggest you change your Launcher.
It essentially replaces your "home screen" and all its associated functions, allowing you tons of useful features and customization including things like icon packs, gestures, hardware/software shortcut keys, # of icons, how folders look, etc etc. I personally use Nova Launcher - try the free one, and get the paid one if you like it.
I'm not a fan of Google Music, so I use PowerAmp, but I think Samsung already has a decent music player baked into the phone. MX Player is awesome for playing videos, and will support 99% of what you throw at it. Samsung already may have a decent player baked in.
You can also change keyboards - I use SwiftKey. You can swipe on the spacebar to switch languages, and it's highly customizable.

Here are some I use:
GBoard for keyboard
Pocket Casts for podcasts
Spotify for music
Baconreader for reddit
Nova launcher for customizing
Textra for SMS
Inbox for gmail
Photos for backup/gallery
Feedly for news/content
Tapatalk for forums
Chrome for internet
Caffeinate for keeping the phone from sleeping
Those are the most common for me.
