850 bucks for an easier to break screen and IP68 rating and still 4GB of RAM and a Snapdragon 820 is a big no.

The larger screen, 64GB, and stylus would be nice, but with the same CPU/GPU and same battery (did they mention if it's larger capacity?), seems like a modest upgrade worth the $100.

Odd that the Note 7's battery is 100mah smaller than the S7 Edge, 3500mah vs 3600mah.
This article has a nice table for specification comparisons:
Samsung Galaxy Note 7 specs vs. S7 Edge, Moto Z, iPhone 6S Plus and OnePlus 3

That case also has plastic rails around the exposed edge to protect the glass, and I can hold the case in hand using those clear plastic rails and not "engage" the edge selection accidentally.
A wider display, flat, with pop out "edge" menu's might be more ergonomic, but I have gotten used to the Edge'sEthrem likes this. -

No root, no sale. I'm not spending 850 on a device with an encrypted bootloader (confirmed for T-Mobile).

I'll make a review in a few days

will it ever be rooted?

I'm pretty sure this is my next phone. Really excited about the reviews I've read so far. I'm eligible for new phone on 10/4/16, and with an $850 price tag, I definitely would be taking advantage of my carrier's interest-free installment plan instead of paying cash for this baby.

Snapdragon 820 not so much.
Basically, North America will need a massive exploit while the rest of the world can already get root.hmscott and Spartan@HIDevolution like this. -

I just checked one out in person and it feels much better in the hand than the S7 Edge did to me. I very much approve.HTWingNut likes this. -

I remember you were like me, most important thing is the camera and battery life and man what can I tell you about this camera. it is almost as good as a DSLR camera, every shot you take is super crisp with lots of detail. no need to wait to focus and get that perfect stable image which rarely worked on my previous HTC 10 (no offense to HTC 10 owners)Mitlov likes this. -

@Mitlov
oh and by the way, this great battery life is with everything but Bluetooth and NFC turned on
Location Services, Always on display showing 4 clocks from around the globe simultaneously (Dubai, Los Angeles, Lagos, and London), battery saver off, you name it
that's how I like to use my phone, to its max potential like it was meant to be usedMitlov likes this. -
I wonder if the NA version will be rooted, ever?

By the way, good on you for the screen protector. GG5 scratches easily.
http://phandroid.com/2016/08/18/samsung-galaxy-note-7-gorilla-glass-5-fails-scratch-test/?v=2
So I know what I'll be avoiding this year - any phone with GG5 because I refuse to use a screen protector. Haven't used one since we had resistive touch panels, not going back. -

The Spigen one I bought is not a glass screen protector.
Also, I feel that Glass Screen protectors deteriorate the touch sensitivity of a screen even when they do fit right. It's an extra thick layer IMO.
It gives better protection but with a phone that already has a Gorilla 5 screen which is sturdier than other screens, plus a good Spigen case which gives good overall protection, I feel that Glass screen protectors are not a must on this phone. Glass screen protectors never did fit perfectly on edge screens anyway -

I may go ahead and just get that glass screen protector too. Stupid Verizon was supposed to ship my phone yesterday and receive it today, but they botched it and didn't ship out until today and wont' be delivered until Monday.

Paid a few bucks to get an early upgrade from my carrier, and now my Note 7 will be in my hands by Wednesday instead of by October
Ordered the silver one.

Just got the 2nd updated already, August Security Patch. These updates are very fast unlike how slow Samsung was in releasing updates in the past. 2 updates in 1 week

Personally, I'm going to use a soft rubberized Spigen case for hiking and outdoors stuff, but I'm going to try going caseless in day-to-day use at least at first. I like the tactile feel of the naked phone.hmscott and Spartan@HIDevolution like this. -

Apparently, there are 2 cameras for the Note 7, one made by Samsung and one made by Sony.
Mine is made by Sony as you can see:

I'm definitely interested in this phone. I had every Note, starting from the OG. This is the first Note that Samsung didn't change or improve the internal specs on. That worries me. For that reason, I am looking at LG now.
