No time like the present they say. I won't be taking it outside the home until I get the screen protector. I work in harsh environments.
Man having the power button on the opposite side is taking some time to get use to. I keep reaching for the right side. 1st world problem I know.
its the opposite for me now.....i had to send my note 8 to verizon to get my $450 credit....so i had to factory reset and turn it off. i kept pressing the bixby button each time to turn the screen off or on. its amazing how people make such a fuss over the power button being moved.....you get used to it, i have no issues now where the power button is located now.
Coming from the S7 Edge, I don't have the Bixby holdover issues.
I quite like having the power/lock button by my thumb (yes, I've disable Bixby via the button).
Still getting used to the fingerprint scanner being higher up the screen, and having to double tap the screen to wake it rather than pressing the fingerprint scanner button.

i just put my finger over the scanner and it wakes up, i do not have to double tap.

I believe the Galaxy note 10 is going to be an epic bomb fail. Cuz I am the owner of one and I'm highly disappointed... It's like Galaxy decided to tell their customers to F off this is our flagship phone and you're going to like it or screw you.
The cons of this phone.
1 extremely slow Wi-Fi hardware
2 punch out. In the front of the screen for a front facing camera yeah that's annoying
3. no SD slot what are you effing kidding me!
4. we're going to follow( ignorant apple )and take away your headphone jack. Yap Galaxy did that!
5. not much in the way of performance at all. The 9s did a hell of a lot better. As far as benchmarking. Not to mention you get to lose all your peripherals. what were you thinking Galaxy?
6. handling this thing is slicker than snot uncomfortable an awkward, oh crap , nice no grip .It's like they decided to say, heywouldn't it be cool if we made the phone so they drop it and brake it. Ya because we're not happy with it either...
7. yeah we're not even going to talk about that pesky piece of crep Galaxy virus( bixby) I haven't met one person that uses that garbage. luckily they do let you turn it off
8. incredibly large amount of bloatware., so we're not going to give you an SD card. but we are going to fill up your phone full of bloatware... Haha!
Prose
though you're going to have to put up with all the cons to get the two extra pros that this crappy flagship comes with,
1 better front-facing camera
2 Better rear camera
3 negligibly improved better battery life
to give you that we're going to take away all the great stuff that makes having an Android so amazing.

I love the note 10+ so much I bought 3.
we are all entitled to our own opinions. I wish you well in your search for the best phone for you...

Anything I've highlighted would be immediately apparent just by looking at and trying out a Note 10 in a showroom, or even just reading about it online. Before handing any money over. Don't like it, buy something else that does satisfy those cons. It's true, Samsung phones can be quite bloated, and probably more so if you have a carrier variant.
Your con 1; if that is a general issue, maybe others will howl about it. Con 6; put it in a case. Many phones are made of glass front and back and can be quite slippery to handle, nothing new here.

As above.
The punch hole is annoying, but not as shooting as I thought it would be, and I prefer that to the off to the side s10 version.
No headphone jack. Been on the cards for some time. At least we get usbc phones in the box, and you can get an adapter for 3.5mm, not really a huge issue for me.
No SD (note 10 only, 10+ had SD) with 256GB (or 512GB in my case) so you even need SD? And you can always plug in a memory stick of needs be.
Slow WiFi - not noticed this yet, I'll have to test that out.
To be fair, unless you need the spen, the s10 beats the note10 in most departments. 10+ is a different ball game.
Let's just say I'm not disappointed with mine.
