Which begs the question.. If nobody wants the note 7 to fly, how is our stock gonna be dealt with? 8000 phones steamrolled over here in malaysia? Such a waste.. Tsk tsk.

Swap to S7edge is not a good deal. SME is trying to mess with us. A month back SME have this promotion - RM300 off with purchase of S7 or S7edge. Now with Note7 exchange to S7edge also refund RM300. Here is the calculation:

1. S7edge RRP : RM3099 - RM300 = RM2799
2. S7edge 1st preorder : RM3099 - 20% = RM2479
3. S7edge 2nd preorder : RM3099 - 10% = RM2789
4. S7edge online : RM2649 (lazada), RM2399 (11 Street),  RM2414 (Gemfive "TREATS12" voucher RM2639 - RM225)
5. Note 7 swap S7edge : RM2879(preorder price) - RM300 = RM2579

Also, given that S7 edge is around the market for quite some time, new S8 will launch on March 2017, it is not a good time to get S7edge now at RRP, as most of the S7edge sold in Malaysia are sold in preorder price, promotion discount, online voucher rebate, and most importantly NOT at its own RRP. SME trying to fool Note7 users here
*
Had a big dilemma regarding this issue also. Price isn't really a good deal to us for all the hassle.
But, all the same, the truth is that there isn't really any option out there. S7e is really the ONLY choice that is similar to note 7. S8 is almost 5 - 6 mths to come. Even then, S8 would've been a second choice too as we are all here for the S-pen and had chose the note7. The whole thing is really troublesome.

There isn't a decent android phone that can compete with Note 7 for the time being. OP3 is damn hard to get in Malaysia. By the time Malaysia have stock, OP4 is on the way, then you will regret again. My suggestion is, migrate to the fruit world, at least you still retain the resale value even new IP come out next year.
*
Agreed on your point about selling your old one for 2.2k and now needing to get it at higher price than 6mths ago. If it was me, yeah. Impossible to go thru with the replacement s7e price.
But I guess this is individual scenario lo, for some of us like me, I came to note7 straight away, from i5s. So, If I were to take the s7e, I guess it's still represent something as it really is the current STAND-IN flagship that they have right now.
As for jumping to fruit world? also depend on how big your wallet it, to get something of a same standard in fruit world, (i7+) would mean an additional rm1000 or more. Sorry to say that a lot of us can do more things with that extra RM1000.

SME treat us as a fool all along. I was considering exchange to S7e but after the latest Malaysian kaboom case and this calculation, I think better refund and buy cheaper interim phone. Wait S8 (no more preorder for me).

+1 No more pre-orders.. learn lesson already.

Same boat but i already jumped back to s7e. Don't care if S8 or note8 is coming soon, still got months to wait. If that time come again, then wait the poison hit me again and i don't mind to spend again. If didn't get poisoned, then thank god i can still live with s7e  tongue.gif

Not really, same as note7. Just the grace UX not in s7e yet. Have to wait for future updates.
Now i'm missing the secure folder and slightly slower fingerprint reader. The rest pretty much the same.

Edge panel - Didn't use
AOD - Didn't use
S-pen - don't miss it yet
IRIS scanner -  Didn't use
Size - more comfy to hold (with casing)
Speed - same
Battery life - slightly better than note7
*
huh? got a decrease in fingerprint reader eh? I thought the whole thing would've been the same. But will be appreciating the extra juice in batt.

Refund at Samsung Gurney Paragon. No receipt given. Fill the refund form and was told to capture a picture of it as a prove. Give back all accessories including the sim ejector tool LOL
*
Mandatory? or you just freely give back to them the accessories?

I return everything inside the box include the phone. The guy take out all the accessories and give back to me and told me that they need the phone only. They will put in a fire proof bag or box (something like that) when they done collect all.

S-Pen? On the first recall, i remember someone says they could keep the Spen too.
Might be great to keep the s-pen, put it in a display case/box, ala japanese katana with a small wordings below :
Here lies A Mighty S-Pen, which has an equally exploding Note to go with.

SME with Screen protection is less hassle and more worth. But you kinda wonder la.. cuz on the day the s7 edge option was announce, the price in lazada you could get for RM2399 not including the discount voucher. Right after that, the price went up. Now its.. over 2.5k as well in lazada.

That's what CS say. Zerolution deal is such n therefore no option for refund.

Now I'm forced to stay with maxis another 24 months. If ask for refund, they will know I'm going to go to other telco so they keep me against my will.

The new digi plans looking more attractive ....

I will still bring this zerolution n the extended 24 months to consumer Forum under mcmc. Hopefully there is still avenue for me to say sayonara maxis n zerolution after being with them for most of the time since 98 when they came to penang.

they(maxis) dont care wan la... was with them for 15+ years as well. When my contract finished, I asked why maxis had never offered my a single offer? even one club member also i had to apply myself.. they dun care pun.. so, i terus jump to digi and ported. no one from them give a damn. I even tweeted about it in twitter about nothing given for a loyal 15 year customer. And you know what? I got a reply shortly after that. Just not from maxis, from DIGI instead and saying "welcome to the family" LOL biggrin.gif

Wat color you changed to? Kinda pissed with SME...color is very limited and have to first come first serve

as if we got nothing to do and always waiting for them to be available sleep.gif
*
Took silver. Got a free lousy SP given too(not the samsung official) .
But yes, limited colors left. I got a call from the outlet i bought a day before the official date to refund/exchange(16th). And they've also indicated to me that the pink and silver are quite limited. So, I told them i would want the silver but will only be coming in a few days later lo... Thats why I got it. The only colors the have in stock now is gold and black left.
At first I wanted to dilly dally until Dec too like many here, but then made up my mind after reading in here that many outlet dont have stocks for S7E anymore. Better to get something and settle the whole affair. Thought of refunding the whole thing. But there simply isnt any suitable option available at the moment for me. Iphone7, had to put in extra 500 - 1000 to buy, OP3? I had OP2 before, very very bare. Aslo, the resale value for Op2 was a nightmare.

As for the S7e, really have to get use to using it. Smaller screen size. The phone's footprint is definitely smaller and thinner. A Good fit if u have small hands/finger. The UI though, feels dated compared to Note7's Grace UI(Icons are bigger than Note 7's). Can't wait for Samsung to port that one in this s7e. Camera quality really should be the same.

Damn..i wanted the black hahaha

Now am thinking whether should i go for silver also hmm.gif

well...yea...luckily i am preparing myself by using a 5.2 inch phone now haha...should be no problem when i move to 5.5'

i do agree the current UI looks outdated :/ Grace UI's was much more clean and professional looking

My note7 was black onyx too. So.. wanted a change of "Feel". Silver's really not bad, now can everytime look at it and know its a new phone, cuz its soo dem SHINY!!!

Agree with u but we have no choice, I can't take risk with note 7, I like the blue light filter function especially at night when I watching the phone.

and the ability to easily change from FHD to QHD. Cant seem to find that in S7e.
