Did Samsung kill the note 8

This seems like a generalization you made based off of how YOU feel about the phone, and not what the actual Note consumer community feels as a whole. And you're very much entitled to your opinion, but I personally have not moved on, and have no desire to.

I, for one, actually used my S Pen (frequently) and enjoyed it's enhanced features, along with it's screen size. And honestly, no matter how many want to argue with the plateau in technology, that it's just going to be a bigger S phone...the experience definitely feels immensely different to me. I switched to this S7 Edge, and I'm still struggling to operate my phone in a manner that I would my Note.

Not to mention some of us are locked in with our phones due to this fiasco, so we couldn't move on if we wanted to unless we bought the phone at retail. Some of us are stuck in that space, and I believe a bunch of us would like to find ways to move to the new Note when it drops.

You shouldn't have been stuck / "locked in" that place. All carriers did refunds and returns. You didn't do something right if you're somehow still "stuck" in that place.

And furthermore, how can a product kill a product that doesn't even exist on paper for purchase? That's a really....interesting thing to say.

So the Note 8 doesn't exist on .. paper .. for purchase? What? How does that make sense? It definitely exists on paper in drawings that Samsung has done and I am pretty sure it exists in the form of test units so.. It does exist.

Unless are you trying to say it doesn't exist to the general consumer for purchase (ignoring the paper part)?

Even so i would contact both Samsung and the carrier to see if they will take it back. If not i would file a claim with the CPSC.

It totally makes sense. On paper for purchase=It does not exist in the consumer market. It's simply something we know is coming, but hasn't had a formal announcement/launch.

There isn't even a SKU for the device yet. So you can't say a phone without a SKU is being killed if not even one has been scanned for sale.

Definitely doesn't make sense to me -- sounded as if you were saying it didn't exist.

Is there no SKU yet? Are you 100% on that? Sounds like you're assuming a lot of things :P.

It makes sense to me, and in syntax at least. We know the phone exist, but nothing beyond that really. Nothing that would support the original post.

And yes, I'm sure there isn't a SKU for it yet. Those are the last things to be put into place, and it's something that the sellers do, and it's the last part of the process. Not a single assumption there. Now it definitely already has a model number, but not a SKU.

Do you have proof of no SKU or you're just "certain" and I should take your word?

It's a process that I'm familiar with since I've worked in that industry before. It honestly wasn't about proving a thing to you, or anyone else. I didn't realize that my input needed to be verified at every turn.

I am simply just asking since you seemed to be super sure as if you had proof. So I see it was just your opinion and that is all you had to say :).

It wasn't my opinion, it was a fact...I just didn't realize that I had to provide proof of such a simple statement. It didn't seem that deep to me. LoL

Well fact to you -- to me it is your opinion unless you provide things to back up your "facts". I don't take it as a fact just because someone thinks their opinion is fact :P.

Ah. There it is. You want me to provide you with receipts of statement, to make stuff valid in your eyes. There's absolutely no point in that. You can take it as an opinion. My intent wasn't to convince you. So we're all good in the hood. :D

That is fine -- You don't have to convince me. I simply wanted to ask you to back up your "facts" but I see they were just an opinion so I know I can move on and that you truly don't know what has or hasn't been done when it comes to the Note 8.. which then makes the thread still relevant for the OP & the rest of us. Works for everyone :).

Well one things for sure, I'm glad that you can move on because I have no idea how we got here. And just because I didn't provide you with what YOU needed to know, what I know to be true doesn't become relegated to an opinion.

You saw something you didn't understand. That's great, fine AND dandy. But I can't help that you didn't understand what I was saying. Furthermore, I'm glad this thread is still relevant to the OP and whomever. I'm glad that you're championing something that I didn't realize needed defending.

I was just putting in my two cents. I pretty sure what I said didn't bug the OP. But just in case OP, we can talk about it. I love having discussions here. I love open discussions! :)

Oh just for the record I did understand -- I just wanted to see if you had actual proof for your claims. You didn't and that is okay. That is why the Note 8 is still having rumor articles :).

SKU's have nothing to do with rumor articles, but okay... lol
