Anyone want to buy my 256GB SD Card? I already have one.

Not sure which ones they are shipping them with but according to spark they are worth $399 so perhaps you could could hock it off for that hehehehehe

Can't do that. Would love to but that just would not suffice. Would hold the broken glass together though...!

Once it became known Bixby could be re-mapped, I thought Samsung put through a software update to prevent this?

(which I thought was very 'Apple' of them).

Nope, it works! Just mapped it to the flashlight toggle. Awesome.

Although, what sucks is that it doesn't seem to work with the Clear View Cover closed. Have to open the cover, then push bixby button.

Given Bixby's button's placement right beside volume button, I wonder if you will find yourself accidentally turning the flashlight on numerous times during the day? The physical Bixby button and the fingerprint sensor are the two Samsung mis-steps in what, otherwise, would be the perfect piece of hardware.

(ps. maybe replace the glass back with a metal one to make the hardware super-perfect).

I am struggling to wait an undermined amount of time for my Vodafone/DM pre-ordered phone to arrive. I want my new toy!
