I personally think the size adjustment might be the biggest struggle.
Alas, at least you have a 14 window to 'try' the device.

PS: I hope we win tomorrow!

That but you are only allowed to switch devices twice then you are stuck with that last one with most providers.

Yes, and believe me I am suffering this, right now.
Well, after using my S9+ for this week, maybe, just maybe, I will stick with it.

ATT will not let me switch again (even with the restocking fee they charge), so I am stuck with the S9+. If I want the Note 9 again, it will cost me $1000, a mortgage payment. Alternatively, I can trade my S9+ with ATT, and pay $720, then get the Note 9. All this conversation I am having (with everyone and myself), over a bloody smartphone!

Honestly, sometimes, I do wish I was not such a gadget guy. Talk about expensive...

I own the s9+ and note 9. My work phone is the s9+. Honestly, if all I had was the s9+, I would be just happy with it. It does fit in the hand great and feels good to use. Just as snappy as my Note 9 is. The size difference is pretty big honestly between them.

I'd wait and watch Swappa.com. You may be able to pick up a Note 9 for around $600-800 in the next few months.

Good to see so many others in the same boat as me! I’m looking at moving from Apple (the only Apple device I use is an iX). Don’t know why I haven’t been able to do it so far, but seeing that others can get used to it makes me feel a bit better. I’m looking at the S9+ now that prices have come down a bit. I just don’t like the idea of continually paying $1k every year for a phone. I just don’t think that what Apple provides anymore is worth the extra coin over comparable Android devices.

Exactly the same here with my iPhone 7 red. I know I want to go bigger and move back to android. It’s just leaving the comfort of iOS lol
