I just got off the phone with T-Mobile and ordered a Note 5 (64BG). It's only been a week with this S7 but ultimately I've realized two things: I'm way too dependent on the S-Pen and even more dependent on root. Very much more than I initially thought.
Moving over to T-Mobile from Sprint has been a wonderful breath of fresh air and I want to continue enjoying this service but with a phone that I enjoy thoroughly. The S7 it turns out isn't that phone. I wish I realized this before I slapped down money for the S7 but I'll get that back and put it towards the new Note 5 that's arriving in the mail. The guy at T-Mobile I talked to was super cool and helpful about this.
For the past couple of days I spent many hours going back and forth between both phones looking at what I've lost with the Note 5 and what I'll lose with the S7 if I went back to the Note 5. Weighed the pros and cons and decided the Note 5 was the better way for me to go. I've been with the Note series since day one. Got the Note 1 when I was with AT&T only skipping the Note 2 when I got the S3, for whatever reason I can't remember. Since then it's been Note 3, 4 and now 5.
Initially I thought it would be a good experience going with the S7, smaller screen, easier to hold and I'd be able to enjoy the new Samsung features (IP rating, new camera, return of Micro SD) with my new T-Mobile service. I can live without those things for another few months until I upgrade (if/when) to the Note 6. I cannot live without root, lol!
Best of luck to all the S7 users! I hope y'all get root as soon as possible!
