I have been in no hurry to return my note 7 but found myself at best buy today so I asked some questions.
Is there a timeline as to when you must bring in your note 7? NO not yet
I pre-ordered and essentially bought the phone on my sprint upgrade for one time $349, if i turn in my note 7 how much will a s7 edge cost me with the $100 from Samsung? Get this, you don't get the retail value of the note 7 you get the 349 + tax you paid against the $750 + tax the s7 edge you didn't want in the first place, so the s7 edge will cost you an additional $300+. Talk about a kick in the teeth.
For all of us who were worried about losing our upgrade. Well sprint terminated the 2 year upgrade as of Oct 8th or 9th. Thus the reason you have to come out of pocket for the edge.
So all the incentives that Samsung is trying to make sound like a good deal are really of no use for someone who bought their note 7 with an upgrade on sprint.
I plan to keep the note 7 until the last possible day. Mine works fine and I have no intent to blow another day setting up yet another phone. Yes I did swap mine when they became available. I am tempted by the LG v20 but sprint is being secretive about the pricing.
