    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?

    depends as you normally get a text that your parcel is in your locker. you live in dublin? normally it'll be in dublin locker tonight so you can either pick it up late at night or tomorrow.

    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.

    it was part of Three for the first few customers but they since removed it. Samsung UK however still has their promotion for a free VR

    Can be used with Parcel Motel and Samsung Uk's S7 will be unlocked and open to any network

    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. :-)

    That's just it, HTC have implemented it so much better. You can use theme store for full themes, wallpapers, sounds, icons etc. You can also mix'n'match and customise on device.

    Sammy's implementation is poor.

    Just looked at a couple of S7 Edge devices while out. Didn't have the wow factor I expected, but can imagine anyone coming from other manufacturers or older Sammy's would be very impressed.

    I'm seeing great reviews for the camera. In fact, both reviews you linked say it has a great camera. why is it a low point for you? :P

    Are the upgrade prices for the edge with 3 standard across the board? Contract is finished next month so I was thinking of going for this but wasn't impressed with the deal when I rang.

    You're right, extremely poor value. I got the S6 Edge+ on contract with 3 for €150. The S7 Edge would be same value, and they want €300? Crazy.

    I switched from the 40 euro per month contract to 25 euro p/m. got the edge for 239 euro.

    That's an insane deal. Your total outlay is only about the value of the phone.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,613 ✭✭✭tony1980


    I thought the price would have been some bit better for an upgrade, it's the same price for a new customer with vodafone on a similar package that i'm on so i'm a bit disappointed with that.
    Will probably just leave it and get it sim free at some stage due to this, not in any panic to get it anyway.

    Posted before seeing this, that's a nice deal, did you have to do any haggling for that?

    Edit: I was offered it for 295 euro, maybe 299, can't remember on 55 euro a month.

    What's included in that €25pm price?
