Except Samsung did not claim S7 was sturdier than the 6S.Its got a glass back.Of course its more fragile.Now Apple stated the lens to be sapphire.Visual proof contradicts this and one of their own models to boot

So let me dare steer this disaster of a thread back on course. I got my replacement for my silver Note 7 yesterday (black one comes Monday), and the box has a black square and no green battery indicator. IMEI is going to be the only way to know your phone is good. This is in Canada.
Now on the topic of scratch resistance, I can say both my Note 7s have no protection on them at all. These are the bad ones. I used this recall as an opportunity to get some real world testing for scratch resistance. I was very careless with how I handled the phones. Anyone I put it on a desk, table, or any surface, I have it a slight slightly toss onto that surface. When I put it in my pocket, I would put it in a pocket with spare change or keys. These are things I would never do otherwise, that being said, both are totally fine. Not a single scratch on either.
My replacement will be getting cases, but no screen protectors.

It's just regular air. No oxygen is pumped in.
In fact, since most airliners are only pressurized to the equivalent of about 6,000 feet, their oxygen content is effectively ~25% less than that of sea level.
I don't know if papers would work. There has to be a quick and easy means for flight crew to clear the phone. What a crappy situation to be in for an owner.
No idea the guy obviously feels Apple owes him something because Samsung releases an exploding note 7.
Weren't replacements suppose to go out next weeK, also wasn't he claiming he had a note 7 that wasn't defective, now he claims to have a replacement

Wow, you really exposed yourself for what you're real intentions are in this thread. Just look back at my posts in this thread and tell me where I said this. You need to stop being so bitter.

Wow, this thread's gone crazy.
I ended up returning my N7 a while back because I wanted to step back and watch the fallout. I'd already encountered an Uber driver who didn't want to be in the car with it and it was clear that the public perception was going to become an issue.
This FAA thing is an example of exactly what I was worried about; Regardless of whether it's an overreaction it's a massive inconvenience. At least today it's extremely unclear what it will be like to fly with a Note in a couple months. Considering the level of understanding most people have about tech I have a hard time believing airlines will be checking IMEIs at the gate.
Resale also seems like a concern, but considering the depreciation rate for Android devices I was planning to take the 50% Next swap anyway.
The N7 is an excellent phone. My only tangible complaint from my time with it is that I'm still bothered by OLED PWM, but it's not a deal breaker. And yet right now I'm still uncertain about picking up another one.

The camera and button scratch test on the 6 and 6s was done with an exacto knife only. He did not use the scratch too. On the 7 he used both the knife and scratch tool. The knife did not scratch the home button and the lens on the 7, just like what happened on the 6 and 6s.
Finally contacted TMO and replace it with an iPhone 7+ matte black. Figured I try it out for the 14 days and make a decision then. My reason for the switch is the inconvenience it could possibly cause in the future. I'll wait it out until things clear and maybe go back to the Note.
Ok Guys i'll be picking up a note 7 when it becomes available to buy again. The camera on my 7 plus isn't anywhere near as good as the one I had on my S7 edge. I'll just have to use the 7 plus and note 7.
[doublepost=1474190588][/doublepost]Any ideas on when they will go back on sale?

October - but when in October is anyone's guess and will depend on carrier / store / region
Ok thanks. It's a good job I got more than expected for my 6s plus.
On another note when I went into carphone warehouse yesterday to sell my 6S plus they still had the note 7 on display and it says coming soon next to it.
Edit: I've just been on the carphone warehouse website and it says delivery by the 21st October. I guess that's when they expect to get stock.
I dont agree on the size thing not being a basis to buy on. I find the Plus iPhones too big for me. Its the bezels at the top and bottom of the screen being to big I think. Not once since jumping from my iPhone 6 to the Note 7 have I thought "think is awkward".
I just need a good camera on a phone to take pics of my 4 month old son. I was hoping that the 7 plus would give me that but so far it's been disappointing. I was hoping to be able to stick to one phone but it will have to be 2. I got some beautiful shots with my S7 edge. The 7 plus has been meh so far.
Maybe it's you? Many are taking awesome pics with them.
