I've just shut mine off. I'm going to wait to hear from Samsung and CPSC. But I'm thinking more and more it's going to be a return for me.
Nope, I don't have a backup device but I might consider investing in one. Some people have scored like new Nexus 6P's from Amazon warehouse for about $200 so I have my eye on that regularly.You don't have an old phone to fallback to until say the S8 news comes out or hang tight til Note 8? I have a loaner Iphone 6 been using. I wanted the Note 7 cause like you been a long time since a phone caught my interest... my list was OnePlus3 or Axon 7 but since I had an "in" to get a Note 7 through our work account much cheaper it's too attractive to pass up. Now if this story leads to no Note 7 sold... I'll probably just save my money and use a free phone and soon enough the S8 will be out or OnePlus4 or Axon 8 maybe.

The S8 because of size won't interest me at all. I had a S7 Edge for about 10 days as a loaner from T-Mobile and it was ok but not even close to the N7 and quite frankly I would have rather had my LG V10 instead of the Edge.
I'm not going to rush to anything just yet. I'll see how this plays out with CPSC and the carriers and go from there.
So just to recap from all those posts recently the reported replacement phones (post recall) that have on the news... 5... in a two week period?? Did I forget any?

It's a worldwide conspiracy against Samsung if we listen to some of the zealots. And let's not forget the few cases in China of phones that shouldn't have been problems. Samsung already said two were caused by non-battery, external heat issues. I'm sure they wouldn't lie! ;-)
All corporations lie. Samsung is no different. Apple swears by their environmentally friendly approach, and then they turn around and single handedly removes the headphone jack and practically asks their customers to throw away the old headphones because they are "inferior" and use "ancient technology", because you know "courage". They are all the sine. Keep costs low, and keep revenue growing. Profit, profit. They'd sell their worn mother if it would give them a couple of points boost in earnings. Samsung messed up badly, but don't kid yourselves that any other corporation is any better.It's a worldwide conspiracy against Samsung if we listen to some of the zealots.

Then I'm going to switch back to my iPhone 6s Plus until Samsung makes the next official move, either denouncing and disproving these latest claims deeming the phone safe to use or issues another recall, perhaps a full recall and EOS/EOL of the device.
I just hope we can drag this out till the S8 comes out at least. The problem we have as android users who like the top of the line phones is the fact there is nothing better on the market. So if we give this one back then we either take a step back with a older phone like the S7 which for me is no option. If i switch to a different phone and use my upgrade for it and spend money on it then the phone needs to be current plus good. The new Iphone is boring as i have the 6 plus sitting here and it is boring. The biggest problem is nothing out there matches the note 7 in what it can do besides catch on fire.
There is the S7 edge which is still a nice phone minus spen and slightly smaller screen. The next option would be the V20 but lg is charging a premium for it now especially after this Note 7 ordeal. I like the water resistance though so this and the Iphone is basically only only choices right now.

If he's considering taking legal action, why would he hand over the biggest piece of evidence ? I fully understand why he didn't hand over the phone, I'm struggling with the whole text message thing though.The Nicolasville guy had me right up until he wouldn't let Samsung have the phone to investigate. Mmm, why not? I am not saying it may not have happened, but that is a big red flag to me.
