I thought that big piece of land was Alaska, dang, there is another country up there?

I thought it was our top hat. :/

U.S. news makes Canada non-existent most of the time...
(you know that huge piece of land directly north of the US?)

Wait - where is this mythical "Canada" again? Can Sarah see it from her front porch?

I'd rather slam my privates in a car door than buy another LG phone.

That is just way to funny!

speaking of Canada... any reports of replacement Note 7 fires up there?
or is it too cold up there already?

Russia is in her front porch...
Canada is in her backyard.

Suddenly I get this mental image of Sarah Palin
taking her shotgun and shoot the Note 7.

Another replacement phone exploding in women's hand here in Hawaii.

Yep.. I am definitely getting rid of this phone and switching back to my iphone. Sorry Samsung, I wanted to give you a try, but this is now a big safety concern and I am not one to gamble.

I checked out a real V20 today at AT&T store, and man I am really impressed. It was very snappy and fast. Super responsive. Even with a single speaker it gets very loud. Clarity of the screen is fine for anyones needs. It;s definitely the V20 or the IP7+ for me. Leaning more towards the V20. I really need to know how the battery life is on it before I decide.

Hey, look on the bright side. They only had two chances to screw up the phone!

(Can you tell I'm cynical about updates? Lol)

That's with any provider phone that isn't a google phone.

Soooo how's the screen? Color wise. Is the black truely black or has that white tint like all IPS or LCD has?

Wanna see something like your screen is burning?

Watch this video horizontally with the battery location in the bottom.

Well, it looked great to what I could tell. I thought it was very sharp with great colors. I was looking at it in a bright retail store, so in there it was very bright. I would take it without questioning the screen as I thought it looked great.

Other than the iris scanner and the S Pen, is there any difference between the S7 Edge and the Note 7? Software wise. I know the screen sizes are a bit different.

Good to know.

I'm with you on that one. I avoid updates and put it off as long
as possible. At least until other guinea pigs have reported back
that they had no issues.

the Note 7 "feels" much nicer in the hand, compared to the S7 edge.
I have both phones and I always like to hold the Note 7 in my hand,
even when I'm not using it. I think it's how the Note 7 edges are
designed....

Just wondering... What if the recalled devices was from 1 to 100 (don't wanna go thru exact figures) and everything after 100 was good. 101 and so forth. When in reality its actually 1 to 200 and they basically said OK to 100 defective devices. Not sure if anybody remembers a few people getting the safe note 7 version and had all the sticker etc. Ran the imei and it was actually a recalled device. What if those people catching on fire now was the 100 defective devices.? Just saying .

[Jest] This is what happens when Samsung angered the Note gods. They skipped the Note 6 going straight to the 7. Now the gods are raining havoc on Samsung.

I completely understand your worries, I would be worried as well, although at this time we do not have any recall on the device to allow us to take the phones back after the return period

Amazing hurry up and recall them Samsung! I don't want a phone that "might" blow up on me.
