Samsung Galaxy S7
I'm liking the specs, and the IP68 dust/water rating is very welcome.
I just wish they included a 200GB microSD card with pre-orders instead of getting a Gear VR. I really have no desire for a Gear VR.
I have two 128GB S6 phones on T-Mobile's Jump on Demand. I wonder how much I'll have to pay to go down to a 32GB S7. The silver color looks very nice.

I am thinking I am going to get the S7 next month. I have to pay off the remaining portion of my S5 ($100) but the phone looks a lot better than the S6.

Strange it's still using Micro USB. I'd have thought USB-C would be the way to go.
I've got an Galaxy S6 which I'm happy with, so I won't be upgrading just yet. Maybe in 6 months when the price has dropped from £569 to < £400.

I have a Galaxy Tab S2 and recently picked up a Nexus 6P. After using the Nexus for a few weeks, I don't think I could ever get a Samsung Android device again. The pure Android experience is so much better.

I know the power is there, but does USB-C currently support qualcomms Quick Charge 2.0/3.0 spec? I think that might be the issue

dual sim might be nice but implementation and support is unknown. And it's at the sacrifice of the microSD slot when in use so buy capacity (32gb/64gb) accordingly

I have a $33/mo trade-in credit across two phones. Unfortunately, I lose the credit if I trade in my S6's for S7's. 
Looks like I'll have to wait for the S8.
