Got mine though bestbuy, so not sure about signature. I know samsung is sending their's with Signature required, but doesn't specify online when looking at my tracking number. So who knows.

Again, so jelly!
HAHA! Yeah, I think he took that with an amazon fire tablet, and those do suck.Good thing he got the Note. His current camera sucks monkey balls!
Yeah I would've been pretty upset if I hadn't already taken the day off and I came home to my Note8 having sat in the rain for hours, or worse having been walked off with by someone.That is crazy that they ship a $1K item without signature confirmation.
3pm and I am still waiting for my Note 8. Working from home today (or so I told my boss) and was hoping for an early delivery but no, still waiting.Yeah I would've been pretty upset if I hadn't already taken the day off and I came home to my Note8 having sat in the rain for hours, or worse having been walked off with by someone.
As it was though I opened the door and picked it up off the porch as I watched the UPS guy walk back to his truck. No signature or anything.
It's a great phone too, the screen is really something else.
Still waiting for UPS. 6pm. UPS sucks.So what's the verdict ? Dud ? Not any better than S8+ ? King of the phones ? Also are the speakers as bad as they sounded in the store (soft without punch but clear) ?
Let us know how you like it. I have read a couple of reviews and it seems to me the biggest problem for the Note 8's success is going to be none other than the S8+ which is just as good yet can be had at lower prices. While I do not think S-Pen is a gimmick, I reckon that group of actual S-Pen users is a lot smaller than general customer base of the Note series of the past.
P.S. And why does Samsung insist on printing the names of the phones on the back? They are an eyesore.
Thats truly bizarre 'reasoning'. If you don't need the pen, that's fine, but Samsung is in a league of their own with the S-Pen and a phone that's basically a small Wacom tablet. There's almost no one of any tech knowledge that doubts the S-Pen is well implemented- it's just a question of if you need it or not.Besides, I just don't have any confidence in Samsung's software on pen support
My reliance on the s-pen is the one factor that keeps me on the Note series. In my job, I have always carried around notepads and pen, constantly scribbling out notes & orders, designs, & such. Once I discovered the Note series(started with Note 2), I have had every iteration of the Note(2,3,4,5, & now the 8, and both 10.1 tablets). Not having to keep track of thousands of pieces of paper is a lifesaver.Thats truly bizarre 'reasoning'.

Yeah, questioning if you'll use the Spen and deciding if it's worth it for you is a personal thing, doubting the Spen software however is silly, they're on their 8th or 9th generation of note devices (depending how you count the Note7/Note FE and Note edge). The device is praised and sold MAINLY on it's Spen. Why would anyone have any doubts about it whatsoever?Thats truly bizarre 'reasoning'.

Same here. Had every note but the first and 5. I never was much of a paper note taker, but definitely I'm a big digital note taker and quick sketch/chart/designer.My reliance on the s-pen is the one factor that keeps me on the Note series.

A Surface Phone with pen seems like a no-brainer to me. I just personally think Microsoft is just too bamboozled by the phone market. Their whole focus to me has always been on some hoop dream of theirs wanting to capitalize on the strong position Windows has on the desktop... rather than just design a top notch phone interface and platform.I've always dreamed of a Windows phone with pen support. That would be my ideal phone.
