I'll call and see what they say.
IME even if you're grandfathered in, you can only order the phones online to get the two year upgrade. If you're eligible for the upgrade you should see it as an option an option when you select the phone you want.

I don't think so but there are sites where you can do a print out. Though it's not the same thing when you factor in weight, and thickness.
Also sites like phonearena will show you phone comparisons if there is a large phone you know works for you.
Apparently there are stores that have em to see. So say the people of the internet.

Yes, but not on contract price. Don't will cost me 550, instead of 750. Big deal. I'm talking about $200. Or like it used to be when you had Amazon, best buy etc competing with each other. .01¢

If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

Just got my S8.

I hate the fact that the home button and fingerprint reader were moved to the back. I may have to stay with my S7

Samsung took another step backwards

The Note Edge/Note 4 was the last great Samsung phone, period.
There's a reason I still use mine.

I haven't come across any useful advantage of the S8 over the S7, only the contrary

The screen to phone ratio.
I'm not who you think I am.

I love my S7 edge. The only phone that intrigues me now is the new BlackBerry KEYone.

The S6 is still a great phone.
My wife has it. Her battery is shot and never lasts a day.
I bought new batteries from VZW for my Note Edge and it's like a new phone.

Correct on the battery. I just have juice all the time, but yeah. Great phone if you have power. Still never freezes.

Hence the Note 4/Edge is the better phone. No planned obsolescence.
