The "I Got Mine!" and First Impressions Thread

I don't even think about the color. In fact, it's kinda cool because everyone who sees it is like, 'oh wow, that's the new Note9, isn't it?'
 
I've had mine since release day. I did not like the color options but I couldn't so violet so I was stuck with the blue. I love blue but the obnoxiously yellow pen really bothered me. I'm used to it now. Just wish the pen was blue like the violet phone has a violet pen. Who was in charge of these color options? No black? What is going on....

Definitely agree with you on all aspects. And... wait for it...

Yup. (Insert middle finger emoji here)
 
Talking about pen colors, see Samsung has the Note 9 in Midnight black and silver now. I had my wife order the silver, so we can swap. And it has a silver pen, what a concept!!!! She gets the Blue with ugly yellow pen...... :D
 
There is one good thing about the Ocean Blue Note9 with the yellow S Pen:

EVERYBODY knows what it is.

I was recently hospitalized (much better now, thank you) and carried my phone with me to the various Xrays, CT scans and MRIs so I could keep family updated. I don't think I was able to get through any of them without someone asking "Hey, is that the new Note?" followed up with "do you like it?" So here I am, ready to freaking DIE, feebly trying to explain the features of my phone.

Seriously, Samsung, you need to throw a little finder's fee or commission my way for selling Note9s while at death's door. Just sayin'...

:p
 
Glad I waited to upgrade. Was ready to do so back when it 1st came out but the color combo sucked so I got an S9+. They finally came out with black which is my pref. Have only had it 2 days now so I can't review the phone but what I can say coming from the Note series since the 3, no regrets at all.
 
Good news is that the AKG headphones are STUNNING. I have a pair of Bose Quiet Comfort 35s, and I think I prefer these! The bottom isn't as muddy (typical of Bose) and the soundstage is remarkable.
On this subject I had a set of the AKG in ear headphones from my S9+ and never gave them a 1st look. Compared to Bose that I also have as well as Samsung's own Gear IconX wireless these AKG's sound amazing. Got another set of the exact same with my Note. Quality sound in such a small package is in my opinion "priceless" .. wait, oh yeah can't get any more priceless than free ehh? :D
