New S7 Edge owner after returning Note 7 today

[convert]

It is really nice seeing everyone here from the N7 forum and I am sure we will see more of us as the days go on.

I should have my eBay S7 Edge on Saturday. I am sure going to miss my N7 but I look forward to the next Note release, or what ever they decide to call it.

We definitely are a unique group, as we were the relatively small group of people who got to experience this awesome phone and then went through two emotional and irritating recalls, only to lose our beloved Note 7s while the world watched. We are actually part of history.

So Samsung ... Get your head out of your you know what and make sure you don't screw it up again. Most of us are willing to give you another chance and we look forward to your next best Note.

Well said! I feel the same way! I miss my N7 already. The main reason I got it is because it was well, a Note, with an S-Pen and it helped me with productivity. I know people would maybe say it was the least used feature, but it was the top reason I had it. BB was nice to me today and gave me a generic stylus for free so all I have to do is just not lose it, but it sure as heck lacks the precision writing capability. I just modified one of my to-do lists on Evernote and it gets the job done, just nowhere near as precisely, but at least it gets in the general target range. I mean, it does work. But I have to mind where I put the stylus now which is one more thing to keep track of-seems minor but so is the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back too LOL. But what the heck-I'm adapting already just 3 hours after getting home with what is now my permanent phone!
But alas-as you said skatergirl--here we are. I figured I'd be seeing more of the N7 users migrating here, and we may as well enjoy what the S7E has to offer-minus the S-Pen, much of it the same. One reason I went with it was because I found I do like the Edge feature among other things.

The s7 edge was the only option. The n7 was my first samsung phone and in all honesty i love the amoled curved screen.

Every other phone has those bezels and after being with and edge phone, i don't think i could go back to normal.

The curves are where it is for me now as well.

Yet another Note 7 transplant. While I would rather have the Note 7, the S7 edge is a very good phone and so far I'm happy with it. I am going to look on Amazon to see if there is a case work a stylus holder, which would solve the missing spen problem. I have the same S Note app so I'm good to go. I really miss the blue but I'm liking the silver.

Just ordered the s7 edge black. Suppose to ship Friday. Silver is out of stock. I think there is going to be a huge run on the s7 since it's the closest to the note 7.

It was between the s7 and iPhone 7 plus. Just couldn't justify spending $200 contract price more for it, and I feel more at home with Samsung....but Samsung better get their you know what together after this n7 fiasco.

I also switched from note 7 to s7 edge due to fiasco. I have a question about s view case for s7 edge, when case is closed it doesn't show anything in the window like it did on note 7 s view case. The display I am referring to is black background, shows time, date, icons of notifications constantly. Is this by design or am I missing something on s7 edge? Please help. Thanks

Well I wish they would've done this earlier! Blue Coral S7 edge possibly coming soon.

Headed to Tmo to swap this Note 7 for the Edge 7.

Again to the original Edge owners, please forgive this invasion. Also be prepared to deal with our S-Pen withdrawal symptoms.

Thanks to the Gear VR, Gear Watch, Amoled screens and form factor is size, I remain a Samsung customer.

What will be the features of the Edge 7 that will surprise me the most?

Every feature on the edge was on the note 7. In fact you will experience less with the s7 edge. Especially the weak always on display options and no grace ux design.

I exchanged my note 7 for a s7e yesterday and BB and didn't get a TV. Hummmm, makes me want to go back.....

 

[Harry Dunn]

How much is the S7E with 2 year contract I didn't see it on the Verizon site

 

[KRR1979]

I am out of contract and bought my n7 outright and verizon will return it. Now I want to buy an S7e from ebay bc verizon wants to charge me 200 more than a new one off ebay. New to this....never bought a phone not from a big box...

1. can i use my n7 sim card in an s7e
2. do you see any other issues I may encounter.

Reading this thread has helped me as I am in love with all things Note and am tempted to buy a note 4 used bc I want the expandable memory but not thinking s7edge...thoughts? I had a note 4 before all of this. thanks!

I knew about the promo. Unless you ask i doubt they will say anything. Always research for promos

$299, the same as the note 7 was. I think the note 7 was priced exceptionally well.

I have plans to join the party, please wait for me!! Only thing I am waiting on is to see if Carphone Warehouse will be offering any deals. Apparently there was a Free Gear VR to be had, but that offer ended October 5th. And their current 24 Month Contract Plans are still at Premium Prices. I was told there would be Deals on November 25th Black Friday, but by then we are even closer to Feb/Mar 2017 for the S8. Would hate to be on a locked in contract paying top dollar per month for an "old tech" phone.

Arrrgghh this is madness!!

I am still using my Note 4 after 2 years. Wanted the Note 7, but will now probably go for the S7E. Exactly though, do we really NEED the S7E? I actually love the look of the curved screen. And the Camera is better than my Note 4. Decisions, decisions…

Same here, turned my second Note 7 in to Sprint. Ironically, I still have a fully boxed Note 7 sitting in its shipping box waiting for a RMA from Sprint. I never opened it since I went and picked up my replacement from a corporate store. I got the S7Edge and I'm adjusting well. I love the battery life, it is very similar to the first Note 7 I had. I'll sit tight until next summer when the Note 8 is released, hopefully Samsung won't kill the entire Note line after this latest fiasco.

I returned my replacement Note 7 yesterday @TMobile...Got the S7 Edge and very happy and got it in Gold

 

[Gray Area]

I was asked today, "is that the exploding phone" I said no this is the s7 edge, but I had that phone that has been catching fire. Then they proceeded to tell me they have a buddy in TX who had a note 7 that caught fire within 3 minutes of being in the center console of his car and now his center console is all messed up. I suppose we'll all be having these "chance" encounters for the next few months.

Just swapped my Note 7 for S7E today....I loved my N7 but glad ordeal is behind me. So far I think I'll get used to the form factor. I also submitted for the SD Card promotion and just used purchase date of 10/9 and included receipt (which shows 10/11). Worst case it gets rejected....best case it slips through

UPDATE: So the SD Card that I submitted for has been approved even though the receipt showed I exchanged N7 for S7E after promotional end date. So through the N7 fiasco I was able to take advantage of 3 promo gifts, plus Samsung Pay credits 3x.

1. SD Card for original recalled N7
2. Gear VR for replacement N7
3. SD Card for exchanged S7E
