Just picked up my new toy... gotta say I'm glad I went with SG this time. The gold is okay... happy with my choice.

Congrats, what key features made you get this over the iPhone X?
I didn't get it over the iPhone X... I just bought it cuz it's here lol. I'm still getting the X. But to answer ur question, the new processor, new glass back, etc.

Is that the new iPhone 6 Plus?
Did it make you feel good to try and belittle what is bringing someone joy?

Sorry, that was a typo. I meant to type 8, not 6.

Congrats! It’s a great phone.


Oh, my bad never mind.

With all GT anti-8 on this three I thought that was a smart jab.
[doublepost=1506137881][/doublepost]I got my 8 (non plus) today, the black box was a plus. :)

Thanks for defending me Haha
 
So have had time to use my device more. So far I really like. No noticeable hardware issues, screen seems mostly perfect, I like the additional heft because it adds a sense of quality.

I havent tested the camera, I do t take many pictures.

I really like the solid state home button. No more anxiety when it “crunches” under your press. 3D is neat, still too new so I don’t know how I’ll use it.

Congrats and enjoy! I got my SG 8+ yesterday but I can't activate it without wifi at home. Have to wait until Monday to go to the Apple Store. Meanwhile I stare at the black box...

Yeah but since hurricane Irma damaged my internet service 2 weeks ago I haven't done an encrypted backup of my 7+ so I can't update the 8+ with all my iTunes info. We actually just got power back on Tuesday.

No Starbacks or other places with wifi around? Starbucks internet is pretty decent in my area.
