Add complete seal for Ingress Protection

Throw outside, other car smash it flat, Samsung denies your phone burned first then smashed flat. Better put in metal case and a pair of extra thick oven gloves, retain the evidence.

So if Samsung is going to kill Note7, we may expect either refund campaign or get a free exchange to S8 or Note8 with S7 Edge as interim phone.

The money to refund will come from Korea, just... How to process the refund is another matter, there are telcos plan as well.

I won't pay the difference, the risk and inconvenience caused is already worth whatever difference between the price, in fact, I expect S Gear or 360° cam as compensation too.

We just have to see how things evolve as the instructions to totally refund or replace with S8/Note8 rests with Korea, Malaysia is just following orders. Getting S7 Edge as interim is easier since Note7 production halted, production line to focus on S7 Edge this year.

With all the risk and hassle customers have to go through, yes, compensation is a must. Not only Malaysia, but the whole world is expecting some sort of compensation, or risk lawsuit.

There are always surplus old models when they are launching models, sure there are enough phones for everyone, and they can ramp up production as Note7 halted. The possibility is there since S7 is one of the interim phone when Note7 first recall.

If Samsung decided to go interim S7 → S8/Note8 path, the money is still with Samsung (still within the company), and I believe the price of manufacturing a phone is cheaper than the selling price, I wouldn't be surprise if the price we pay can cover the manufacturing cost of one Note7, one S7 Edge and one S8/Note8 (maybe a bit short), but nevertheless, Samsung loss will be lower than total refund (physical money flow out of Samsung), not good for financial year report and shareholders, and lose market share/loyal customers. Not many Note7 are manufactured so Samsung can count those manufactured as loss (or scavenge what ever part for S7 Edge manufacture).

10 in first week of US post-recall.

No business is risk-free and smooth sailing, I guess.

But US customers opt to retain the phone, they can't sue Samsung even if the phone catches fire for sure, insurance will not cover the damages as it is a known fact Note7 will burn unexpectedly, operators/owners forbid Note7 on their premise for fear it will burn down their business or injure other customer (lawsuit), etc.

If want to refund, wait for SME announcement, maybe Samsung HQ in Korea decide to kill Note7 and buy back all Note7 from market w/out taking back the accessories and freebies, then sama2 do like recall, take the SPen and Sim Tray out and return the box and phone only, keep the SPen and Sim Tray as souvenirs.

I don't think they will do a 2nd recall. No way Note7 will sell well again to justify the losses from anymore recalls from this point onwards.

Think about it as writing some programming codes, if you start from scratch and nothing, it is easier to write. If you want to check for bugs and errors, good luck. Solve one bug, another two will appear. That is why there is no bug-free games.

If Steve Jobs is still alive, I might consider switching to iPhone7. But now... Every new iPhone is a degenerate.

According to the bold sentence, so we can keep everything and return just the phone? I doubt Samsung wants back our accessories and even the box, it just makes it more bulky to send back to Korea to be destroyed.

IINM Samsung have this KNOX thing, they can remotely kill your device, and most probably they will do it to prevent further device explosion and encourage customers to return/exchange for another phone.

Most probably we don't need to return the accessories and freebies.

Maybe next S8 comes with pen straightaway, drop Note series. Note R&D team split to S8 and a tablet note with pen.

Samsung gives us unnecessary worry, endanger us and the lives around us, risk our limbs and ass getting burn, inconvenience of sending back the Note 7, and unwarranted stress when dealing with them and their partners CS.

We did Samsung a big favour by taking out the accessories, elsewhere only the box and phones are required to return in, yet Samsung Malaysia and their partners miscommunication caused so much confusion and made a whole mess about it. In the end, they just need the phone and box to be send back to factory to be destroyed, and we helped lighten the burden. Now in USA, Samsung send owners a box with clear instructions of only phone is to be placed in there.

In my humble opinion, full refund nor exchange to S7 is not enough to compensate all these unneeded of owning a phone, Samsung basically f* up Note 7. I strongly believes Samsung should provide S7 as interim and free S8/Note8 replacement next year.
