Bunch of fakes taking advantage of the situation. Actually wasn't surprised people wanted to take advantage of it.

If what I was told by a Verizon rep is true, Samsung had determined which machine caused the problems, and apparently there were a LOT of machines making batteries. Out of each million batteries made, only 25 would have been defective. Thus, since they only sold 1 million phones, only 25 would have had the issue. Considering there were over 70 reports in the US alone, there would have had to have been lots of false reports.

Well, as the first post stated, getting some fake reports in a situation like this is something to be expected...

Of them how many were the media frenzied recycles? Well, grandma got discredited when they saw the device.

Wonder how Pocket Guy is panning out?

The worst part of all this is the stigma is out there now no reversing it. I'm very happy with my replacement no issues. Also already got a $36 credit from AT&T for the hassle and the $25 credit Samsung promised on this month's bill. Glad its behind me.

Again, the social spastic reaction is a good example of how it's easy to dupe people into a frenzy. The media are the enablers- some were it not for spellcheck and Word, would probably not even pass a writing class.
