are you leaving the Note 7? if so, where are you going?
-
- Well after seeing that Jet Black IP7+ and dual speakers my note is back in the box. It's going back. This will be my 1st IP (well I had one before, but it sucked so I sold it
).
Anyway I just bought the N7, because it was black and am not a Spen user. I will miss using the Gear S that I bought as I don't like Android wear very much. Maybe the new GS3 will work with apple. No I'm not saying Apple is better I don't give two craps about the OS I just want something that works and show how much $$$ I have.09-07-2016 04:18 PMLike 0 - I agree with you. I remember being able to rock my 6s+ for a day and a half without a charge. If anything, I'm curious to see what the 7s+ will be.
Did anyone see the "Specs off" between the iPhone 7+ and the Note 7?
It still looks like the Note 7 takes the win in most areas. [happy about that].09-07-2016 04:18 PMLike 0 - When you turned in the N7 and got the G4 Plus did you pay anything such as tax on the G4? How muchmoney did tou have down on the N7 and how are they crediting it back to you. I was considering going back to the note 5 for a bit since I'd have a credit back that way vs a straight swap out when N7 comes. Not sure..09-07-2016 04:26 PMLike 0

- Well damn... Jet black and stereo speakers with an IP67 rating. This is going to be a tough decision. Coming from a 6s+ which, I hate to admit, did feel a bit faster than my Note 7.
To top it all off, the iPhone 7+ 128GB is cheaper!? (Note 7 AT&T 64GB $879 vs iPhone 7+ 128GB for $869)sqa4life likes this.09-07-2016 04:32 PMLike 1 - AlmeuitModerator Team LeaderWell damn...

I'm wondering if Samsung will play hardball with the carrier's forcing them to do exchange only to avoid the Apple changeover.09-07-2016 04:39 PMLike 0
- Just talked with At&t and a little FYI for people wanting to switch...They said if your within you 14day window you can get the iphone 7 when u turn in ur note 7.....If your past your 14day window you have to get another Samsung device09-07-2016 04:51 PMLike 0
- Interesting. I'm with Tmobile but they said nothing about their 14 day window to get full refund, just until sept 30th currently to swap out for different phone or refund. Why I was possibly considering V20 or Iphone. Especially if it's not out by Next Fri would the stores have enough 7 pluses to swap out?09-07-2016 04:54 PMLike 0

- Well according to AT&T website for the Note 7, it explicitly says "Customers with a Note7 may select a Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 edge, Galaxy S7 active, Galaxy Note7 or any other smartphone". That is for the recall. Normally the 14 day window is for any phone that you want to return, not exchanging because of a recall.09-07-2016 05:12 PMLike 0

- No no no...Samsung clearly says you can return your device and they also say this "If you are unsuccessful in obtaining a remedy from your place of purchase, please contact Samsung for assistance."
Important information for Galaxy Note7 owners09-07-2016 06:32 PMLike 0 - The iPhone 7 plus will have better audio, probably a better battery life, possibly a better rear camera(s) but we don't know for sure, a faster/ smoother experience, and a higher megapixel front camera, more home button functionality, and 3D touch... The Note 7 has an Iris Scanner, an S pen, a better display with higher resolution, Super-Amoled instead of the outdated LCD, edge display, more efficient phone to screen ratio, USB-C, wireless charging, split screen multitasking, and is open source.
Both have advantages, but I'm sticking with the Note.09-07-2016 07:48 PMLike 0 -

EDIT: Just saw the other replies saying the same thing. Sorry09-08-2016 04:04 AMLike 0 - For me, the BS with the FAA evaluating whether to ban the Note 7 on US flights is the final straw:

I've decided I'm returning mine to the Tmo store tomorrow for a refund, and I think the Samsung wireless charging pad is within the Amazon return window so that will go back too. I am charging up my 6p right now and will swap sim cards tonight. My daughter was going to get the 6p for her birthday in November, but it looks like she may have to settle for a MotoG4+. Unless I like the Nexus/Pixel phones, whenever they get announced.
Too bad, I **loved** the visibility of the screen on the Note 7, doesn't wash out in sunlight like my 6p, and I thought the no-side-bezels was sexy. A little bit easier to hold in my hand as well, and I was getting used to pressing the physical button to go home from any app. It also took *much* smoother video because of the stabilization. On the negative side, besides the whole recall BS, I did find the camera to occasionally make bad choices in low-light situations (orange hues), the thumb print recognition was still 50/50 - requiring me to lift my thumb up after I press the home button to wake and press again with my thumb to unlock, the iris scanner worked for me like 20% of the time so was useless, and I did notice micro-lag (1-second-ish) when transitioning between many apps. Overall it was a mixed bag, and certainly not enough positives to make me switch out for an S7 edge.
Peace and love to all the Note 7 faithful fans, but I'm out.09-08-2016 05:26 AMLike 0 - I'm an iPhone user through & through - but I also have a Note 5 on another carrier. Of all the Samsung phones, I love the Note line.
That being said, as much as I love the 6s Plus and as good as yesterday's Apple event was...throw in the extremely small, isolated incidents of a few batteries going poof - I'm going to upgrade my 6s Plus to the Note 7.
Many of my day to day tools are cross platform cloud based (Evernote, Dropbox, IMAP Email, Keep & Share) but the clear advantage for the Note 7 is how I work with those apps vs. iPhone. Even on the Note 5 now, the S Pen and the things it allows me to do on the fly throughout the day (since we live in a digital world) - are so natural now that going to an iPhone would be backwards.
My iPad Pro (12.9) is still the king of kings for tablets - since I can, just as easily draw, annotate, etc and my Surface Pro 3 is there when need something to talk to the Windows world.
I guess the message is - there are several really good devices out there, some crossing lines in terms of functionality & others clearly taking the lead in other areas.Gray Area and toenail_flicker like this.09-08-2016 05:53 AMLike 2 - Well after seeing that Jet Black IP7+ and dual speakers my note is back in the box.

so how do you think the FAA is going to be able to distinguish these Notes from a replacement that most will have next week?
Relying on government is your first mistake in making a decision like this.09-08-2016 07:25 AMLike 0
