This may seem like a stupid question, but when you buy a phone unlocked that means you can hook it up to any service, right? I do prepaid Total Wireless, so if I get this, I should get Unlocked and should be able to transfer my plan and number over, right?
No
You should be able to just take your prepaid Total Wireless Sim card out of the old phone and put it in the unlocked S8
The Note 8 is supposed to be a Note 7 replacement.

Screen size yes, physical dimensions no (aside from a bit of thickness).
S8 is 68.1x148.9x8.0mm (http://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/galaxy-s8/specs/)
7+ is 77.9x158.2x7.3mm (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone_7)

Cool, thanks. I've had the same phone for so long I really don't know a lot about how it works.
I'm not really into high end phones, but this seems like the obvious, and right direction to go.
One thing I thought was really interesting from the video was using it as a desk top machine(there was a mouse and keyboard). How good is the internal hardware in that sense? Could it run Windows 10 outputting to say a 1080p panel with a not intensive workload? Internet browsing, media streaming and management, basic office stuff etc.

If you're using a much older phone you might also have to ask Total Wireless for a new small Sim card (nano-sim) that fits in the newer phones
From an absolute standpoint the S8 much better of course but if you factor things like bang for your buck then you might want to get the 3T.

Link please?
But how edgy is the S8 and S8+ in comparison to Reaper?

I've always been against big phones but I'm very tempted by the S8+. A lot of videos I've watched say it's very easy to hold in comparison to other phablets.

Imagine a city car vs Ferrari.
Nah.
Latest rumours from the usually reliable analysts, there won't be a curved iPhone. They'll stick with the 2.5 glass - thankfully!!
Roll out on September.

Ferraris are straight fire, so this is pretty apt.

Pre ordered the S8 Plus on Vodafone uk as im due my upgrade as of today , Paid £50 upfront for the phone then £44 a month with a discount applied so it should of been £52 a month. Unlimited texts and minutes plus 6GB of data and delivered on the 20th April , Pretty happy with that.

Nice deflection.
For the record, it was the top result when I searched your name and "courage."
Just figured since you got so butthurt about tired jokes related to an electronics brand, there would be no way you've ever stooped so low.
It's cool though. We can't all have integrity.

It seems you got just as butthurt that you had to search through my post history.
But, it's cool! As you said, we can't all have integrity!
For the record, when I posted that, the joke was fresh. Not 7 months old.

I read that it doesn't officially support double-tap to wake but when you long press where the home key is suppose to be it will wake the phone.

I just got the LG G6 and I'm pretty impressed so far. Coming from a S6Edge, I was pretty burned out on curved edges and accidentally triggering things on the screen.
That said, I'm keeping my eye on the S8 as more impressions come out.

iPhone 8 is rumoured to have a 5.8" screen size so wondering on the proportions now.
The S8 does look tempting as my first Samsung S phone.
Seems the camera is better on the iPhone from the Casey Neistat video.

Yeah display wise Galaxy is way better. But the camera quality, at least in his video, is better on the iPhone 7 imo. For the rear-facing its a bit harder to tell but the front-facing seems noticably better on the iPhone.
