am seriously considering if the refund is not inclusive cancel the contract plan cause switching to lower grade phone that will be obsolete in few months time is really dumb. nothing compares well to the note7.

very simple, because of this person:

http://www.samsung.com/my/aboutsamsung/sam.../executives_03/

me and a few others plan to do that if the return terms is not good. they can't drag or confiscate it forcefully from you.

generally from SME seems ok. now to see if the telcos play ball and include termination of contract as part of the refund or not.

also, holy crap for those who are not the original purchasers but buy as second hand as it seems like there's going to be hoops for you to jump from.

the diligent person? anyways, if you bought from maxis during the pre-order, it's in the system and they can look it up and re-print the receipt for you.

well, like you said, it's only a screen protector. hence..

will hold out and not do anything on 17th october.

will wait for better offer and see as phone is working great with all phone updates switched off and fast charging switched off.

not going to switch to s7/s7edge cause would not have waited till note7 if s7/s7edge was interesting. now especially more so because s8 coming in 2-3 months time.

not going to refund unless telco agree to void contract plan and buy back original flip case. also, hoping that telco or SME give special priority for next iteration of note version by samsung as well.

to be frank, you don't need to be that paranoid. i still charge at least till 90% or fully. still carry it in my pant pockets when need to.

my input for safer use:

1. be much more careful of the phone shock status; avoid banging or dropping (this is most important)

2. if phone needs to be left alone when not physically near it, put it on a relatively safe place that won't spread the burn or burn through

3. you can buy a digital timer switch so that after x amount of hours/minutes, the charging adapter will auto switch off. you can estimate how long it takes to charge X% so you can input into the timer switch so you don't need to manually check on it always and switch it off yourself.

theoretically they can't legally shut off without taking some risks. what if the owner is lost in jungle or kidnapped or having emergency and the phone is their only means and somehow the phone is shut out simply because they want to force you to return it?

they can do that when the phone is reported to be stolen but when it is a voluntary recall, it's not all black and white. keyword: voluntary. hence you don't see any legal notices that threatens the existing owners to return immediately. you can see their wording use of the english word "should" littered on their note 7 recall pages.

that's why should buy original brand accessories.

not only fully tested way before other 3rd party producers but the design and margins is as accurate as possible with all considerations taken into account.

sigh.. i also awaiting maxis feedback. am wondering how they handle for the contracted phone pre-orders of note7. went to maxis weekend also find out no information.

for a very very big company, seems like the no feedback is a mismatch to their company profile

i have a comment for all who think currently the S7Edge is not a good deal,

you have to add in one more variable factor for consideration. thanks to your beloved finance minister playing with the country's finances, it is estimated that USD-MYR exchange rate will depreciate further in the near term.

what this basically means is imported products from outside of Malaysia will cost more in the short term so that S7Edge that you're thinking may not be a good deal now may suddenly look like a good deal in the short term future when the price adjusts according to the exchange rate.

S8 and future Note/Stylus/Pen8 may also be way more expensive than the current selling price of their iteration right now.

they could instead send it this way:

warning, this is your last message. you will not receive any more warnings than this as you need to shut off your Note 7. we hope that you cannot be contacted anymore via your note7 but still hope that we can contact you from a temporary alternate phone to deal with the refund/exchange.

mark this down for listening. have strong doubt to your statement and that you'll still go for pre-order next time to get the goodie freebies and discount on top line phone

lol. ya. same here.

i feel you mang. same sentiments.

my case i really do need an s-pen and the s7/n7 camera is really poison. is very very difficult to consider anything less.

so far, i'm thinking to get a note 5 at the moment right now as backup

refund/exchange depends how the telco handle those pre-order note 7 with contract plans.

bravo. i think you're the first confirmed case to post on the thread about original accesories refund/exchange.

bravo maxis.

seems ok. contract can be fully terminated and waived. and got multiple exchange options for anyone else who wants other phones.

depends your requirement. if you value camera more and can forgo the S-Pen, S7E is as close to the Note7 as possible. In fact, it is receiving update software wise to function as close to Note7 as possible, as announced.

if you really can't live without an S-Pen, the Note 5 is the highest spec at the cost of external storage microSD and also not as greate camera.

a note fan can only dream
