Yesterday was the 14th day and Courts is still telling me to wait ... no idea exactly when refund can be made
I am helping my friend to get the refund whom I had sold the phone . He said is OK to wait for it even another 2 weeks!

Those who still persist to use the Note 7 do be aware that there is a possibility SAMSUNG could eventually disable remotely the phone features/functions . So you'd end up with only a wifi only phablet?

From the way I see it, I dont think Samsung is to keen to reveal the cause of the disaster for the Note 7.

I think they should to regain customer confidence

Wow if really below 2.5k that is a real steal bcs now if want a top phone need 3k over...

But the question now will Malaysia be one of the Asian countries to have it? Bcs there is only 2-3 million set available if i am not wrong???

I would say the volume is indeed too small to be distribute out to more countries. Warranty support will too be another problem if only a small quantity is released here

Strange one Spore user said he can still charge his phone up to 100%. Apparently Spore users not affected by the limited charging rate ? I hope he can flash to latest firmware so that updates are possible.

found something stupid samsung did ... does anyone know how to work around the stupid region lock thing ?
i do travel to china (HK too), taiwan and dubai thus very troublesome and costly to have to make a damn 5 mins call to unlock.

How " costly" is it to make a 5 min call locally??
I viewed your complain simply frivolous

Just ordered one from 11Street with price of 2199 after apply the coupon which only can get when total cart is over 2.6k

Hope this phone can last me for next 2 or 3 years. Can't wait to unbox it next week.

Good price. I paid rm2200 for it from Lazada. At first thought of buying the blue colour but than eventually settled for black instead. I had avoided note8 purely because of its narrow width. I had used the previous Note7 before and was impressed with it.

I bought from G-Store Lazada too on 11-11.  A woman called me last night saying my colour option (black) is out-of-stock and asked if I'm willing to wait 1 week which I said I'll wait.  At least I'm *likely* to get a new set and not some demo set from horror stories you read in customer reviews.

How about yours?

It was Gadget Supply - my first purchase ever from this seller

I am quite happy with this phone battery usage. This phone now carry a reduced battery size of 3200 mAh.
With a equal mix of wifi n LTE I could get SOT of 5 to 6 hours. With mainly wifi another 1 hour+ . All these on mainly internet stuffs without gaming. I had only edge display lighting disabled. AOD, sync , location always on.

Wow, samsung really did great with that 3200mah over 5.7 inch,(with previous gen cpu)

Uncle benny, how does it compare to s8, battery wise? Since they priced similar for around 2.3k

I don't have S8 but S8+ is better at 7 to 8 hours SOT on mix of WiFi n LTE
