What Phone do I get Now??

[jejb]

I just talked to Best Buy mobile 10 minutes ago. They told me I need to bring my replacement Note7 in immediately. "a Second recall is coming very soon" I can exchange it for any phone however since I was leasing the Note7 I only have leasing options for a Samsung S7E, LG or Iphone. Any other phone would need to be purchased outright. I asked about the Pixel XL and they told me that I would have to purchase the unlocked $829 phone outright from Google to bring to Sprint. so this Note7 issues goes from bad to worse for users.

I hear you. I'm glad I was still inside my initial 14 day period on a new phone. I went to BB today and they gave me a full refund, no restocking fees. If I'd been forced to trade, I'd be very unhappy as none of the other phones out right now interest me.

IPhone 7 plus but I don't know what to do because it won't ship till late November .. will carriers let me hold on to the note 7 or give me a loaner phone till the 7 plus comes out ?

I just got off the phone with my carrier. They said any money collected on the S7E will be put towards a note 7 whenever they are finally re released. If they aren't, all money will be put towards any other device such as a Note8 if that's the case, regardless the time frame. This is Tmobile's policy.

I'll get a Spiegen Nomex cover and a small Halon extinguisher for my back pocket...

Lol. I'll use this s7e for a while until the note 8 is released.

I hate to say this but "I may be done with Samsung" after this. between the Note4/Note5 issue and the now Note7 and Washer issues I dont feel like dealing with these headaches...I have more important things to stress over. JMO

Also have the LG v20 in the mind. I guess I should have kept the temp phone for a little longer. As you can preorder LG v20 and get some free Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay H3 headphones. Anyone going to preorder and keep the note 7 on hand and when the LG v20 comes in hand just give back the note 7?

Google does financing for the phone when you sign up for Google Fi. There is no contract for Fi and you can cancel anytime. So if you sign up, get the phone financed and then quit Fi after month 1, you can take it to any carrier.

That's my plan. I love the Note 7, but with all these issues, I think I'm done. The LG V20 looks nice too. I will preorder that and wait with the Note 7 drama/nightmare that is sure to follow. I bought from samsung.com and it took ages to get a replacement, I have a feeling this time will be no different. I plan on using my note 7 until I get the V20. I am sorta assuming the Note 7 is finished. But if they do decide to offer a new Note 7 replacement I might consider it....but I have the old saying in the back of my mind..."Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me!"

No idea. It's not a similar device, but the only thing remotely appealing to me right now is the Sony XZ.

What stores have the lg v20 demo?

I'm in the same boat. I need a new phone now as I sold my old one. Was a huge fan of the note 7 and nothing seems to compare. v20 or even pixel wouldn't be bad but that is weeks away which I can't wait. Don't really want an s7 as I had it before i got note 7. I guess I'm looking for a good phone that will hold value till something better comes out.

I bought an S7 Edge after waited so long for Note 7. Still trying to get used to the smaller screen size after coming from Note 4. Overall, pretty satisfied with S7 Edge.

Same boat here, i went in to my local VZW store and they said i would be able to come back next week and get a pixel if I wanted. Not sure if i want to wait until the v20...... i wish there was a good unlocked phone i could buy out right.....

If I went pixel I def would not get it from verizon with the bloatware. Defeats the whole purpose.

You can prise this Note 7 out of my cold, dead hands.
Nothing comes close.

SAME BOAT. I waiting since the announcement and had enough. Considering getting an S7Edge since I LOVE TOUCHWIZ. Didnt like pixel, LG service suck in my country, hated iphone 7+ after 10mins of demo... What is left? :\

With a neat symmetry, my wife is prone to sudden, violent explosions. I wouldn't swap the cute little raging woman for anyone. Perhaps the price of beauty is danger.
