    DTEK60 versus the competition

    IMO, I think the DTEK60 is priced really well. Compared to the competition the specs are almost the same. I was a long time Blackberry user. This might bring me back..

    Any chance that this phone will be repaired and re-released.

    The Note 7 is never ever ever ever, like ever coming back, like ever. On a serious note, Samsung did confirmed that they will be recycling all the Note 7's they have. I don't know if that includes unopened boxes because it seems like a waste to me to not reuse some parts not to mention what it...

    Here are the Major Note 7 Alternatives (sorry, none of them are exactly like the Note 7)

    Re: Note 4 or 5? I owned all 3 and still have the Note 5. I returned the Note 7 because I also have the S7E. I wanted to replace my S7E with the Note 7 as my daily driver but found it was too heavy for me to use long term. Also when I compared it to my Note 5, I didn't feel it was a huge...

    Here are the Major Note 7 Alternatives (sorry, none of them are exactly like the Note 7)

    Re: I PHONE 7! May I ask what is it that you don't like the iPhone 7 home button? I was playing around with one and it felt weird and not as responsive like the previous iPhone home buttons. Just wondering if you experienced the same. Thanks

    When will they flip the kill switch off!

    Re: Do we have to return them? If the Note 7 wasn't running on Marshmallow then I might say keep it if you want to as long as you're happy it's stuck on MM. There are still too many issues with MM. You're not going to get those updates. You probably won't get app updates if it applies to a...

    When will they flip the kill switch off!

    Re: Do we have to return them? When a phone is discontinued you will not get anymore updates. Samsung already confirmed the Note 7 has been discontinued. So why keep a phone that will no longer be supported anymore?

    Moto Z will launch in Canada on October 5th

    Did anyone in Canada buy the Moto Z? I'm thinking about exchanging it for the Moto Z Play because of the larger battery. Also I'm using my S7 Edge as my daily driver.

    Switched from Note 7

    I used to buy Tech 21 cases. The best ones they made from my experience is for the iPhone 5. It was very grippy and the volume and power buttons were very responsive. I bought one for my Samsung S4 and S5 and the case was slippery and the volume & power buttons were hard to press. So I stopped...

    Old Information about the Note 7 Recall

    Re: The end of the Note line? This is not the end of the Note. Samsung's best sellers has always been their S-series and Note lineup. And changing the name is a bad idea because people will think Samsung is hiding something by doing that, especially the media. They should still call it the Note...

    Here are the Major Note 7 Alternatives (sorry, none of them are exactly like the Note 7)

    I don't know how much the Note 5 cost from. T-Mobile but I do have both phones. If you don't need the S pen, I highly recommend the S7 Edge over the Note 5. S7E has better battery life, expandable memory card slot, water resistant, it's faster.... pretty much what I said about the S7 Edge is...

    Old Information about the Note 7 Recall

    Re: note 5 vs note 7 I have the Note 5 & had the Note 7. I returned the Note 7 before all this happened. Day to day use there wasn't big difference in speed. Also the Note 5 felt more comfortable to hold, probably because of the flat screen. I couldn't justify spending that much money for minor...

    Old Information about the Note 7 Recall

    Re: OK, so now what? If you like stock Android then Pixel XL. I have the S7 Edge and love it. With all this Note 7 fiasco, you can probably get a pretty good deal on a S7 Edge.

    Old Information about the Note 7 Recall

    Re: OK, so now what? That's unfortunate Verizon doesn't support it. All the carriers in Canada run on GSM and support it. There's only one carrier that runs on a different frequency, same as T-Mobile. I heard the Honor 8 is a really good phone too. I take it you have an excellent plan with...

    Old Information about the Note 7 Recall

    Re: Samsung has canceled the note 7 entirely. I honestly thought the Note 7 was going to be the phone of the year. Samsung royally messed up an excellent phone. Samsung is still the best at making "Note" devices. Although this is a good opportunity for LG to make a high end note phone if they...
