You know the Note 8 translates complete sentences, not just single words. Could have come in handy here. Still on the fence. Have about two weeks to decide. Best Buy will give you $150 off as well as the accessories currently offered. EDIT:Just saw Verizon will give you up to 1/2 off on price depending on trade in. I have on old iphone 6 that they will take $336 off price of Note 8. Tempting so that I have a second dumb phone...
