I searched for reports of any Note 7 incidents in the United States. The only one that I found was one in Boston that turn out to be false. Until I find proof of one catching fire and have been reported like those that happen overseas. I will not believe it.

The phone may be made in China, but that doesn't guarantee that the battery is the same one found in the Chinese-market Notes.
There was s report of one in Boston that impacted a woman's car, and a floor model in Missouri that blew up. Both discussed on this forum.

Man China gets the model with more memory, more storage, AND the better battery making sure all Chinese phone use their batteries. How does China get such a sweet deal?
I think there's a picture floating around from a demo model from a t-mobile store or something.

Show me the news articles! The overseas had news articles to support it. With all the talk about this phone I doubt it will not make the news. Although i have had no issues with my phone with overheating or any issues. I will get a new phone when they release the New Note 7's. For me nothing can replace my Note 7 but another Note 7.

Why can they have it but we can't? I mean what makes it more special for them to have a beefier phone?
A TMobile rep posted a picture of a demo unit that was in his regional market that incinerated at a TMobile store. He posted it in this forum - the picture was shared with TMobile reps as a warning in their employee chat.

From the article:
"Samsung said it received 35 reports of the Note7 catching fire in South Korea, the United States, and Taiwan in the fortnight following its launch."
Samsung and all the carriers have been very clear - please stop using the device immediately.
What carriers have said to stop using the device? And where has Samsung, outside of the Australia division in 1 article, made that statement?

That was on August 18th, when we all thought they'd have it.
On August 28th, after they revealed it, turns out it was basically similar to the US variant.
China Doesn’t Get Galaxy Note 7 With 6GB RAM After All
This was linked in an email I received from Samsung today regarding the recall.
"Is it okay for me to continue using my Note7?
Because your safety is our utmost concern, we ask you to take advantage of the U.S. Product Exchange Program for Note7 owners in which we are offering Note7 customers the opportunity to exchange their device for a Galaxy S7, a Galaxy S7 edge or a new Note7 (as early as next week)."
Still nothing definitive about continuing to use the phone until the replacements are distributed.
