    Ordered the S7 2 days ago from 3. Got an email tonight saying order delayed because they are out of stock. Annoying!!

    That's probably the same general email we all got earlier. 2 days ago would have still been a pre-order, so who knows when they will ship them.

    On the Gear VR, it's a nice device, but I think the screen on the S7 isn't sharp enough. Watching videos etc, you can still see the pixels.

    Are you using the flat S7 or the Edge? The pixel density is higher on the flat model and that's the only thing putting me off the edge as I've some VR projects I'm hoping to work on.

    The ppi diff is fairly minimal, but the pixels are quite clear to see at least on the 3D elements.

    Does anyone have the S7 on Vodafone. Wondering what unremovable bloat they loaded on it this year and if that awful Vodafone protect pile of shoite is on it.

    Also, any sign of BTU firmware yet ?

    I got a Voda one and chucked my Eir SIM in, the only Voda program it has that I couldn't uninstall is the Voda "Updates" App.

    You could on the S6. No reason why not on the S7. Though if you disable their messaging and email apps then I think you will loose some of the edge functionality they bring. Like messages popping up from the edge in balloons.

    No. At the moment it just says processing. I emailed and paid the extra to move to the edge.

    Before that, my s7 order said processing and then in security check. I will prob have a delay now as I changed mid order.

    Ok. Just wanted to make sure myself since the phone has been paid for. I was hoping we might get an earlier release but it's looking like it won't be until 11th afterall

    I sent an email to check if everything's still good and also to ask if they are still shipping tomorrow
