The guy I sitting next to had no idea about this. This is ATRL. People were going to come and make jokes about this...

If people have the free time to buy it, they have the time to return it for an new one, no extra cash needed, especially if it causes such a great danger. Like I said, i'm definitely not supporting samsung on this they f'ed up, but c'mon i'm just saying if you've been personally contacted on this and still ignore it then you're partially (but not completely) to blame for this for not following the warning.
You were not aware because you did not get a personal email from samsung since you didn't own one. Does your grandma have a note 7? Tell her to return it immediately.

W/e guys i'm over this, samsung f'ed up big time but so has other c/os like Apple with bendgate etc. I'm sure they'll get through this just fine but they deserve some of the backlash right now.

Screaming

Except (once again, check the article I linked!) Samsung is asking some customers to pay for new phones outright and then get reimbursed for their Note 7 later. No one should have to be out $500+ while they wait for Samsung to get their act together There are waiting lists for new Note 7s and the protocol for returning them has been a mess in general.

"Personally contacted," big whoop, they sent emails. Believe it or not, there are millions of smartphone users who don't constantly check their emails or keep up with tech news. It's only been a week, you can't expect everyone to know.

And not you comparing this to Bendgate Yes, Apple ****ed up there, but that was a stupid annoyance. This is an exploding phone in your pocket

Hence I'm holding off for Google's announcement of their former nexus branded premier phone..the Pixel and pixel xl next month...yall should hold off on yall ratchet iphone pre orders as well..

thank god I have an S6 the note 7 is a catastrophe

This is unfortunate, but it's only happening while charging, and they're not blowing up like bombs

They get hot and catch on fire, they don't go KABOOM
