Samsung replacing all Note 7's

Samsung statement

I wonder if that means just the handset or everything including the VR?

Note 7 customers are now being advised by Oculus not to use the VR units with their Note 7.

19th before they start to swap these dodgy mobiles, shocking!

Might have to have a look at the new iPhone 7 tonight, and I wonder how many other Note 7 owners will be doing the same, this could be the killer for Samsung I am sad to say!

No way I'll go to any Apple product...would rather go back to my note4.

Been using note 7 ... Will wait for swap out.

[elektrobix]

Yes i'm happy to wait for a swap too.  I upgraded to Note 7 from an iPhone 6 Plus and there's nothing about iPhone 7 that makes me want to go back. Especially since my collection of headphones all have a standard adapter!

I would be using mine if it would hold a signal, alongside my S7 Edge which is Vodafone too the S7 has a 4G signal with 2 bars, the Note 7 has no signal, so either it is a poor antenna or mine is just faulty

That's not the first time I've heard that comment in relation to how not so well the Samsung Note 7 holds onto signal. 

[yorkie9668]

Well once I get my replacement if it is the same it will be going back, I had a Note 5 and that was shocking at holding a signal, I don't understand how it can be so poor, my wife's iPhone 6+ has 4G 4 bars in our postcode of LS25 and my S7 Edge has 4G 2 bars, but this Note 7 picks up the 3+ for a few moments then loses it altogether and will not connect again, so I was hoping it was a phone fault not build quality

Just to make thing worse the Americans were able to exchange their Note 7's from yesterday, just makes you sick that Samsung think the Americans are more important than us Europeans, no doubt to quell anyone jumping ship for the new iPhone 7

[yorkie9668]

This is a monumental fook up by Samsung and Vodafone.

Samsung are getting hundreds of calls from upset Vodafone customers that are not getting their exchanges that should have been done TODAY, they received the replacements yesterday, EE o2 and all the others have already strated their exchanges, Vodafone received them at the same time, but by the seems of it are selling them to new sign up's!

Yes I said that as I have heard of a few now getting them tomorrow, just spoken to Samsung again and they are fuming, not as much as I am

I've just had the most amazing hour long conversation with about six different people on vodafone chat which started with my phone will be here at 9.31 in the morning and ended with let me look at your iphone7 order. I literally cannot believe the bull I was being told.
