Some T-Mobile subscribers will receive their Galaxy Note 7 this Monday

Is 15 the new 19? The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is supposed to arrive at buyers' homes on August 19th. But some T-Mobile customers who pre-ordered the device are discovering that they will be receiving the high-end phablet this Monday, August 15th.

The phone was given the Galaxy Note 7 moniker, skipping the Galaxy Note 6 name. According to the rumors, Sammy was concerned that by calling it the Note 6, consumers would believe that it was one generation behind the Samsung Galaxy S7. And now, both the Galaxy S phone series and the Galaxy Note phablet line will be in sync.

Besides the new iris scanner allowing you to unlock your Galaxy Note 7 by simply batting your Baby Blues at the sensor, the Galaxy Note 7 is now IP68 certified. That means that the unit can be submerged in up to 3 feet of water for as long as 30-minutes, and emerge unscathed.

If you received an email that is telling you to expect the Galaxy Note 7 to be dropped off at your doorstop on Monday, go ahead and do your happy dance. You deserve it.
