endsormeans will not get one. He'd rather have a flip phone then give in to the dark force. But may be great enough to trick me! I'm easy. Will you change your signature to say "I'm supporting the Note 8 or until Jolla fully refund.. then again, forget jolla...."

Yeah, note seems to be the best option currently. Not many options today if you want top notch.
Since you live in US you should get one. But you should atleast wait a few month to make sure you can use it while flying
Me? Not sure. I have no trips planned to us currently so I think I wait. What I don't like is that shiny frame.
Jolla who?

That will be announced in about a month.

I may be wrong about endsormeans. He might have succumbed to the Dark Side. I think he was spotted near the top in this photo taken from the Note 8 event.

Why not a mi max 2 then. 1/4 of the price and an impressive battery. Great bang for the buck.

Checked out a display model of Note 8. Pen is excellent. Has some nice gimmicks. Hate the aspect ratio. Screen too narrow. Especially if you like to read or draw. The original Note, even though it has a smaller diagonal had a nicer screen shape wise. If Samsung make the Note 8 with the dimensions of the Original Note I would buy it. Also don't care if the screen edge is curved. Doesn't add anything significant. The first edge was better cause you could run apps on the edge that were useful.
EDIT: Oops! I forgot to mention price. Cheapest is $930 on tmobile. If you pre order Sumsung with throw in some goodies like 360 camera or 256GB card and wireless charger combo.
