UK user receives replacement Note7

[JoBudden]

What's the government got to do with it?

Because they are making samsung jump thru hoops and testing before they release the revised note 7 to consumers in the United states

Now if we could get a little action here in the states.

I don't think the manufacture date means much (I could be wrong), but some units were made with Chinese batteries, which were OK. Other devices only need to have the battery replaced, which probably wouldn't change the manufacture date.

Ugh.....Looks like samsung isn't doing that bad of a job after all...now it's the government we have to complain about

I always thought Samsung was doing a good job from the start...people were just being crazy about it

Perhaps samsung have managed now to identify the offending batches and can determine via serial numbers which ones are safe. That could mean that certain carriers are holding 'good ones'.

Unlikely but poss.

Still, it won't do much for s/h values or consumer confidence unless they release an accessible database anyone can check and that includes new customers.

That's a possibility. I mean they were gonna release a emei checker. So I would assume they know what batch it is. But who knows beside our little forum world what's actually gonna happen.

Would a replaced battery even affect the manufacture date of the original phone this early in the game?

 

[The Phone Company]

Aparently that link shows a replacement Note 7 that is NOT a legit Official Samsung Replacement

Isn't there supposed to be some sort of symbol on the box, like a S or a circle or something?
