Well as it turns out, you made a GREAT decision. There was a reason why the Note 7 battery was crap and getting HOT, and now all of the consumers that purchased the Note 7 have to wait 3/4 weeks for this to be corrected.
It makes me wonder about the people that purchased the Note 7 and said how wonderful the battery is/was...Humm
I'll never forget my first ever Samsung smart phone was the Galaxy S Vibrant - the iPhone knock off I got talked into by a sales rep when they were sold out of iPhone. Nice phone...for 62 days when I got caught in the Bell Mobility/Samsung recall for faulty motherboards (mine went into a boot loop). Sent the phone to Sammy for repair in September and received it back New Years Eve - due to mother board issues and delay in parts. A bunch of us went to the CRTC and sicced Bell and the Government on them and they finally just sent us new phones, no repair.
The fact that I didn't have my new phone for MONTHS left a bad taste. And while when I got the new one it was great for another couple of years (except battery until I rommed it), that really put me off Samsung. I gave them other chances - with a Galaxy S3, S4, S6 Edge, S7. But anytime I had to deal with Samsung client care for my phones for warranty issues or for customers in the store, I never had a good experience.
I wish the Note 7 owners luck. But Samsung battery issues aren't new, and you'd think they'd fix it by now (hell I saw three or four customers S4's whose batteries exploded and it was an issue there as well...)
