Works on outright purchases at the Samsung Richmond store, bought 3on preorder traded in an old clam, and 2 bb 8320s lol

will they take blacklisted phones? i've got a mint galaxy s4 that was blacklisted a month after i bought the damn thing.

in 3 months you can buy the phones from best buy

they take literally anything lol as long as it turns on

I traded an old sprint phone that suck in bootloop and got the credit for my S7 Edge.. the guy didn't even bother to turn it on... just took it and said ok

I used my iPhone 4 I cloud locked in and the girl wouldn't accept it. So I guess YMMV

Yea Samsung store didn't even bother turning it on, and one was missing a battery as well all they did was scan the imei barcode that's under the battery, so if your trade in is missing the sticker chances are they won't take it

Don't ever listen to the guys at Best Buy. Most of them have no idea what they're talking about.

Samsung Store in Metro will take any phone for $200 credit off the price of the Note 7 for outright purchases.

I think they do the taxes on the pre-credit amount (lame as fuck) and then credit you $200

1050 x 1.12 - 200 = $976

How can they charge tax on non-existent revenue...so backwards.

does anyone know the difference between note7 and note7 usa

Argh that's annoying. A credit should always come off the pre tax amount. Hmm $976 - $500 ish for a Note 5, so still paying close to $500 for a new phone. Will have to think it over.

Pretty sure Costco does the same thing with their "sales".

...what?

There are probably 5+ variants of the Note 7 in the USA. Which are you referring to?

So there's reports of this phone blowing up? :pokerface:

anyone know how to turn on the touch key button lights on?


i cant figure it out since they changed the menu

It might be something that's triggered by your power settings. Make sure you uncheck turn off touch key lights under the power saving menu.

im not too sure, i found this when i was looking at gsm arena

Samsung Galaxy Note7 (USA) - Full phone specifications

These are the variants offered in the US:

N930V (Verizon);
N930A (AT&T);
N930P (Sprint);
N930T (T-Mobile),
N930R4 (US Cellular);
N930W8 (North America)

My understanding, Thet N930W8 is what is being sold in Canada right now. For the past few years, there haven't been many differences between the variants except for the supported bands and sometimes colour options.

Samsung will start issuing recalls soon

(Update: recall to be announced soon) Reports: Samsung considering Note 7 recall, battery pack to blame - Android Authority

Korean outlets are reporting the explosive batteries were farmed to third-party (China).

I distinctly remember my Note 2 battery being made in Korea by Samsung SDI.

Yep it's a recall: Samsung is recalling the Galaxy Note 7 smartphone worldwide - Sep. 2, 2016

Looks like Korean made battery are to blame. https://www.engadget.com/2016/09/02/...battery-fears/

RIP Note 7

Was close to picking one up.. guess i'll wait til iPhone 7 is announced.

It's a voluntary recall program. If you've charged your phone a handful times already and nothing has happened, Samsung's position is that you have nothing to worry about.
