Good choice.
I went in with all my phone accessories and couldn't return bc the Samsung 7edge wasn't in stock. I should have probably taken the note 5, but then we got into whether i was restricted to Samsung phones or not bc i mentioned the LG G5. These store reps don't know shit about shit.
Just an FYI
I just got off the phone from Tmo they text me saying they will next day any phone I want. They were going to send a note 5 but I want the S7 edge its available at the store down the street so I will pick it up when I get off work.

SAN FRANCISCO — Samsung's combustible Galaxy Note 7 problem just got worse.
Shares of the electronics giant dropped 7% as the week started— wiping out $14.3 billion in market value and extending a slide that has taken shares down 10% this month — as reports of damage from exploding batteries in the smartphone circulated, prompting Samsung officials to urge Note 7 users to turn off their devices and return them.
This weekend, a 6-year-old boy in New York was burned when the Note 7 burst in his hands, reported the New York Post. This follows reports from Florida, South Carolina and Australia, where users have described explosions in cars, homes and hotel rooms.
“The child was watching videos on the phone when the battery exploded," the New York boy's grandmother told the Post.
The reports point to a deepening problem for the Note 7, beyond the 35 instances of faulty rechargeable lithium batteries Samsung initially disclosed when it halted sales and announced a voluntary recall in early September. At the time, it had sold 2.5 million of the devices.
"There is no way to recover this version of the phone. ... Samsung has a huge black eye," says tech analyst Rob Enderle of the Enderle Group. He thinks Samsung might be forced to "kill" the Note 7, and skip to the next version, Note 8.
Late last week, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission warned consumers to stop using and charging their Galaxy Note 7s due to the risk of exploding batteries. That followed a warning from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration to avoid turning on or charging Note 7s in airplanes.
In St. Petersburg, Fla., a jeep went up in flames after the owner left his Note charging in the vehicle, according to News10-Tampa Bay. The device is also suspected as the cause of a garage fire in South Carolina, a family told Myrtle Beach's WMBF. A man in Perth, Australia, in a Reddit post, said an igniting device caused about $1,300 in damage to his hotel room.
Samsung's third-quarter results could take a hit of up to $900 million because of the recall, Myung Sub Song, an analyst at HI Investment & Securities, told CNBC. He and other analysts expect shipments of the critically and commercially acclaimed 5.7-inch, pen-based phablet to top 6 million in the third and fourth quarters, down from earlier estimates of 12 million to 15 million.
Samsung, the world's largest smartphone maker, could not be reached for immediate comment.
Its Note 7 woes might also help rivals LG and Apple, both of whom recently announced new smartphones. Apple sold about 14.3 million iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus units the past weekend, up 10% from 13 million for the iPhone 6S last year, estimates Gene Munster, an analyst at Piper Jaffray.
"The gift could not have been more timely from Samsung to Apple," Munster said. "It will be a tail wind for iPhone sales. When you’re debating about which phone to get, you want to hold off until the phone is safe."

That's messed up. Samsung is trying to do too much. This kind of thing kills consumer trust.

Just turned mine in for the S7edge
There is an interesting disconnect going on...
While Samsung and the carriers are putting on the front for public safety,it's very apparent they don't know whatto do with the note 7s that are returned
One dude called regional to ask what to do with the 7 and asked do we ship it to you?
Dude on the other end yells NO no do not ship them.
It was all I could do to keep from
I could just see a pile of note 7s being run over with a giant steamroller

I returned sort of my Note and ordered the iPhone Plus. I get to keep the Note until I get the iPhone.
Besides the button is killing me. Coming from an iPhone to that is sort of annoying. The iPhones button is a lot smoother and always works.
Calling bullshit on the Jeep. Did he leave the keys in the car? If not, how was it charging?
my keys dont have to be in the ignition to charge my phone , neither was the past 4 vehicles i had
Mine had no issues but me and my Ole lady did the recall at Verizon yesterday, hers was hot as shit charging some times....seamless transition to s7 edges for us, they told us our new phones would be back in 21st and we would get a call or text. And gave us both $50
You don't need to have the car running to charge in my jeep. It's smart enough to keep powering my dash cam (you crooked cops ain't getting me) and my phone even with the car off.
Yeah my last car still charged even when the car was off.
Was one a jeep?
My maxima keeps the lighter hot..BMW and my daughters jeep don't... 2nd jeep we've owned. 1st one didn't stay hot either... I call bullshit too.
For the record, I dont care how many Samsungs catch on fire, I wouldnt spend my money on Apple nothing.
Sprint here in Bham was like what email what replacement???
When i called dude said "you can keep using it just don't charge it over 100%. I was like huh??
New ones come out this week and I'm going to keep this one. Hopefully they'll tell the truth about what the problem was then i can swap the battery or part and sale it or have a spare.

Your phone is going to be on a list and it will be unsaleable. And they might eventually disable it.

Normal RMA kits can't be sent and stores are supposed to be collecting them and sending them via ground.
Dude told you some shit just to get you off the phone.
He should have made sure you didn't leave with that device in hand.
