I sensed Note 7 will be completely taken off the shelves soon.

Just got a new one (again) yesterday. Guess it's going back. Sigh. Not much out there right now.

Soon? Try Monday morning lol

Say it isn't so!! Gosh I hope this is not headed in a bad direction. There is literally no phone out there that compares. None. Will be like going from black tie to white ankle socks and flip flops. Ugh. I will still wait patiently and hopeful on the sidelines.

Donald Trump doesn't think so, he claims he's going to make it great again, after all.

At this point I'm fairly certain there is only one course of action to take. Monday morning Samsung will need to face this head on and discontinue the Note 7, and the Note line as a whole. Recall the replacement devices and removing any trace of this tragic phone.

Now it's about saving their tarnished reputation. Because right now this is spiraling out of control and if they don't regain control of this by taking responsibility and moving past the Note line, they will be ruined.

That's what they get for skipping 6.

Then we would be saying "another Note 6 burns".....

Wow. Hope Samsung takes care of the kid and family for this.

Apple hasn't been ruined despite significant blunders in the past. I suspect that this will hurt Samsung more than Apple but it hardly ruins Samsung on the whole. How they handle it will matter and what they do to keep customers will also matter via incentives, etc.

Look. I'm a MAJOR Samsung fan. I think their hardware is above and beyond any you'll find in the mobile world. But if they don't deal with this once and for all, I'm moving on elsewhere.

Yes this is terrible and embarrassing. But it's happened. It's how they deal with it that will make the difference.

Deal with this correctly, and I'm all over the S8. Otherwise it's LG here I come. Even though I find LG phones inferior in every way.
