I got one email too, funny thing is I didn't use the site, I called my salesperson directly at Samsung. Though I bought three of them so shouldn't I have gotten three emails? Maybe I should just register the three, but my confirmation email didn't even have the imei so...... Which one is registered if that's the case :fulloffuck:

id be down for a refurb if theyre cheap

Would be sweet deal. How would the airline know your note 7 isn't gonna explode though?

They were on CLIST last week for $800 CAD brand new/unlocked. I was very tempted but am stuck on iPhone 7 Plus right now.

$800 would be a savings of about $160 I believe from retail price at a Sammy store right now incl. trade-in.

I'm like 99% sure Samsung is destroying all the returned phones.

its only the battery issue.. wouldnt make sense to destroy the rest of the phone when they can replace the battery

Samsung?s exploding battery crisis began with the rush to beat an iPhone?s rumoured down year | Financial Post

Basically rushed the phone which lead to this fiasco.

oh wow,they're company is worth 200 billion dollars...what is 2-3 billion mean for this mistake?.

^That entire article is more an editorial, and is written rather poorly. It's passable for a grade 11 paper, but for an actual article it's pretty shitty. I'm surprised the editor at FP let that be published.

All their sources are, and I quote from the article:There is absolutely no question somebody fucked up, but to write a huge article piecing together and regurgitating what's already out there, linking it directly to Apple's launch without substantiating evidence, with useless emotional jargon to just make things more dramatic, this is just a very intricate clickbait article.

I may be absolutely wrong, but I think the 200bn is only their electronics division. If you gather all the shit Samsung has it's fingers in in Korea (everything from insurance to cars to heavy industries) then it's more.

Again, I may be wrong though.

their market share took $26B dip last week...still a drop in the bucket but I think their reputation is for the most part irreversibly tarnished.

rough few weeks for SK for sure...first the Hanjin backruptcy

Only rep in the mobile space... they still have other areas that shouldn't be affected
But Im sure after a few iteration of their Note line, it will bounce back...

Note 7 to arrive tomorrow night via FedEx.

Irreversibility? I doubt that. It might hurt a bit in the short term but I'd bet that by the time the Note 8 hits people will have forgotten all about it.

No man... Im sure Moto, apple, etc will try to make another stab attempt to make people remember what happen to the last note.. LOL

Im sure someone right now is thinking how to poke fun at apple's #noisegate problem

so anyone get their replacement phone yet?....the phone i send in had a screen protector :okay: BS...mean i'll have to buy another.

‘At least’ 26 claimed Galaxy Note 7 fires deemed hoaxes by Samsung

Despite an estimated $1 billion initial recall cost, $26 billion of market value lost just like that as of last week, and numerous PR blunders bound to translate into even more “heartbreaking” damages, especially as far as public perception goes, Samsung could ultimately survive the Galaxy Note 7 explosion fiasco.

The Korean tech giant is starting to prove it has what it takes to overcome possibly the most difficult moment in its recent history, kicking off exchanges all around the world, somehow even rebooting sales here and there, and finally ensuring original Note 7 owners are well aware of their devices posing a serious fire hazard.

Meanwhile, Samsung also thought it wise to set the record straight in terms of fraudulent incident claims. As it turns out, the phone that blew up in China due to “external heating” isn’t alone on the hoax boat, with a total of 12 such reports concluding in no battery fault found, an additional seven cases where the alleged “victim” couldn’t be reached to begin a proper investigation, and seven more instances of withdrawn accusations or sketchy claims of accidental Galaxy Note 7 dumping.

It’s unclear if the overall 26 tally includes the Jeep fire that still may or may not have been caused by a defective phone, or the highly publicized case of mistaken Core Prime identity. Either way, it’s important to remember to give everyone the benefit of the doubt, regardless of what circumstantial evidence might be pointing at.

Not sure if this is true or not.. but I think it might be slightly good news in favor of Samsung if true... not uncommon for people to try to cash in at the expense of others...

one A9 and one S7 exploded in Hong Kong, I wonder if the users intended to cause the explosion.

mine said 22nd still nothing,

Got an email on like the 15th saying to be shipped as early as the 19th.

Sold it earlier today for $900. Most people are selling it for $1000, but I don't wanna worry about selling it when prices go down from an influx of people receiving their Notes.
