There was also a difference in price

Was there much of a difference?

Some points I could see annoying people for sure but that article seems like a bit of a stretch. As you said, Nova, which most people will install anyway sorts majority of the gripes.

On another note, unlocked mobiles emailed me back and said they are expecting stock as listed and then it will be sent.

Looks like no early delivery from them so.

That's a shame I was hoping for an earlier delivery. It's going to be painful being around this thread for the next week.

That's for sure. I'm getting mine delivered to parcel motel so I'd say the earliest I could have it would be Saturday, more than likely Monday

Do you know where is the best place to get a tempered glass screen protector? I need fast delivery.

Oredred one from Amazon and went to put it on this morning and its way too big. Think its for the Note

Same for me, bit disappointing. Guess it's just patience now.

Left for work 20 minutes ago.
Just had notification the phone has been delivered at home.

Today will be a long day.

Have had confirmation from family I did receive the VR headset. Oh joy.

At least you will get it today. I'm still waiting for Meteor to get off their holes and even put the thing up for order! Good chance I won't be getting my new toy til mid-way through next week, if I do manage to order it on Friday.

Can everyone who's getting their S7/Edge in the next few days let us know what processor is inside?
Looks like we'll be getting the Exynos with the Snapdragon for the US but i'd love confirmation. CPU wise they are similar but in terms of GPU the Snapdragon seems to have a big advantage.

The S7 edge looks like my perfect phone i've the S6 edge atm and the only issue i have with it is battery life so i'll be upgrading shortly.

I think its basically confirmed that we'll be getting the Exynos

My pre-order from Vodafone hasn't been dispatched yet according to the website. I hope it's a glitch
Are Vodafone shipping with An Post or a courier?

Got my S7 and VR, been getting it setup for the past hour. Lovely bit of kit!

Does anyone know if I can remove that upday/flipboard when you swipe to left and add the google cards (like on stock android)? If I install the google launcher it changes everything!

You should be able to hold on the home screen to get the multiple screen view...scroll over to flipboard and turn it off at the top. Think its called briefing or something on the S6 edge

I've preordered the S7 Edge with Carphone Warehouse, all I've gotten from them is a single email saying "Don't forget your free Gear VR!" I hope this is actually legit and I get it free when I head into the shop.

None of these are unique to the S7, have all the same issues with my S6 edge+

Other annoyances:

- No implementation of priority mode
- Samsung theme store/engine much worse than HTC's implementation, virtually no customisation.

None of these are game breakers though.

Does anyone else hate themes in general? I'd actually prefer a wallpaper store as opposed to a theme store. When you change the theme you end up searching for whatever app icon as its totally changed on whatever theme you happen to be on. :-)

I've been a fan of Touchwiz. Even with all the custom roms I've used on my old S4 I always went back to stock.
I use Apex Launcher as my default launcher however.

Just got the Edge and charger but no Gear VR from Vodafone. I bought it while they were advertising free wireless charger and gear VR.

Whats the cheapest place to get a Gear VR?

I checked with them, the VR will be sent by separate post according to Aoife who runs their Twitter account.

I would love to hear feedback from someone with the new VR that has also used Cardboard. Is there a LOT of difference between the 2?

Thanks a million. I had actually done the same and got an answer just after you posted so thanks. I wish it was communicated a bit better when ordering but I'm happy out either way. The phone is due out Friday so it's all good.

I used Samsung UK and Parcel Wizard. I got tracking from Samsung that shows the phone has been delivered to the PW address. Has anyone any experience of how long it should take from here and is there any way of tracking PW's progress?

Does the Gear VR come as a part of a deal with three? I'm looking at their site and can't see anything about it.
