...for as long as I can, or until an equal or better device is released by Samsung, or another manufacturer. Or, until when/if Samsung or my carrier was to cut off my connectivity, or otherwise preclude my ability to continue using my Note 7.
I think the party that benefits most from Samsung's decision to abandon and run away from the Note 7 is... Samsung. Yes, there is obviously some kind of a safety hazard to Note 7 owners, too, but it's not at all clear how much greater that risk is than from other devices that aren't deemed to be afflicted with some kind of out of the ordinary flaw. Even so, I have been and will continue to be mindful of where my Note 7 is, and make sure I've accounted for what will happen and what to do should it suddenly commence to melt down on its own. That's an inconvenient and odd burden to have to take on from something like a cell phone, but it is what it is. I waited for this phone for two years, and there still isn't anything out there that compares. For now, it looks like I've got about a year to get through with this one, until Samsung has a new one without this one's self-immolation feature.
Apparently, I also have a lot of company in my point of view and decision, too:

The longer the present situation goes on without an appreciable worsening rate or total number of Note 7 failures, the better an idea it will give each of us Note 7 owners, individually, about the chances of our own particular device succumbing. Until Samsung definitively determines the explanation for the causality of the meltdowns, I hope it benefits them, too, to learn real-world what the actual failure rate will end up being.
