I thought the Jump from the Note doesn't count? That I would argue with them....I was told it wouldn't count towards any Jump. So basically by March you should be able to switch if Samsung comes out with another phone....also you can pay more towards the phone if you really want to switch in March. Another option is to buy another unlocked phone to keep as back up and then your jump will be available if Samsung comes out with something you like (I mean you might not even like what they offer for the S8). I switched to LG V20 (It's no N7) apart from the screen I think you will like it. Because soo far everything on your bill I have....lol.
Me, I am starting to get over this mess. One thing I hate is people shoving things I don't like and paying money for down my throat. For now I am taking a little hiatus from Samsung until something with a pen comes out again. I really think they botched this recall up really bad for their loyal customers. I don't care how much people talk about double or triple dip, the Note 5 or S7, S7E should've been offered at half price to customers who went through this recall, specially twice. This is just my opinion....so I don't need the moral police after the comments I just stated, because It is what it is....and it's MY opinion nothing on this board will change that.
