Since i am pretty sure of NOT getting this phone anytime soon ( i'm at about the 275000 position ) , why not look to my follow Canadians for invites. So if you guys/girls have spare invites, share them here, between Canadians. I'll do the same when i get mine ( if ever... )

Well, i would buy a 1+2 if the shipping price in Canada with custom duty was not so high... It's already over $500 CAD and i expect to charge $100+ more for shipping here. It's not a deal and you should wait to see if the new Nexus 5/6 2015's better or the OnePlus Two v2 incoming this year would be better or way better, a Project ARA phone if it don't fail. Also, Snapdragon 820's coming soon too. I am from Montréal in the Québec Province.

Hola
I am with you on this. I have the oneplus one and am currently using S6. I can't see much benefit of buying this version especially with a weak Canadian to US dollar rate.
I am holding out for the new Nexus. I will say that I miss my custom ROMs terribly, the S6 sucks eggs due to poor development. There are a few ROMs out there but nothing like oneplus or Nexus phones.
"So what you want me to do 'bout that?"
US dollar never stopped me from getting what i wanted, but i understand that it can get expensive. I never have anything shipped to Canada, crazy shipping rates, over charges, brokerage., etc... And they are using the WORST cie for that DHL.... I have my stuff shipped to the US near the border and go get it, it's a 30-45 minutes drive, get my stuff, go have a burger and a beer at the Plattsburg marina's Naked Turtle, and come back.
So according to info from the oneplus forums "There will NOT be any CBSA related Customs Duty Fee / Boarder fee when ordering and shipping the Oneplus 2!"
Shipping, the same cost as the oneplus one will be $28USD or approx $37CND
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/canadian-customers-no-more-customs-duty-fee.328542/
For US orders $389 + $16 (standard shipping) = $405USD or approx $530CND
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/official-oneplus-one-shipping-tax-u-s.13183/
For a total of $516CND it is currently cheaper to have it shipped to your door than heading over to the US. This will change back and forth depending on how the dollar goes, but all in all its not too bad.

That's great news. I think that last time ( Oneplus One ) only people from Quebec and Vancouver (?) got hit by a surcharge at delivery by DHL ?
I'm not sure about the DHL extra charge I suspect it's random and nothing to really do with Quebec or Vancouver. I mean all it takes is one DHL employee who isn't sure if the duty was paid or not and people will get double charged. That employee could be working at any DHL location.
Btw I'm number 5xx,000 on the reservation list so please help a brother out with an invite if and when possible. And I say xx cuz everytime I check the number grows, started at ~517,000 now I'm like ~580,000 [emoji20]

Not sure...lol This is what the app tells me but on website it's different....
You peeps really need to read this forum post..... The reservation list is NOT a guarantee you will receive an invite... It's simply used for unused inches and if that happens they will go to the list. I bought on the 11th and the price was $479.00 for the 2, with $36.98 shipping and $60 in taxes.... Crappy that the Canadian dollar is so bad right now...
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/reservation-list-discussion.325634/
---------- Post added at 09:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 PM ----------
As far as I know the only invites given are for Pop Ups and contests... I'm OnePlus member #380 and still have not received my early supporter invite... So it will be some time until the reservation list will be used... 8)
Fully aware of the fate of the reservation list members. It sucks but it is the official line. In all honesty I will wait until the nexus 2015 are available for purchase and don't prove to be overly offensive. The current LG based leaks looks horrible to me, I mean there are $100usd android one phones that look much better than that.
Soo as I was saying if I get the invite after I purchase a nexus 2015 then I'll just ignore it. The only reason why I am curious and want to try oneplus 2 is because there is such tremendous support for the oneplus one on xda.
While I want an invite asap I went into this eyes wide open. Which brings up the question, could I get your referral invite when you do get that?
Thks

Same thing for me , i'm on the list but unsure IF i will "push" to get one. I for one, won't degrade myself doing moronic stuff to get higer on the list , like they are asking people to do , i.e. flash mobs and stuff. Looking at reviews i am starting to think that my Oneplus One is still very capable, the 2 hasn't anything really that i want beside being shinny and new
Lol so true. At times I wonder if oneplus is a real company or if they are really an experiment being run by the psychological warfare arm of the people's liberation army.

Well, it looks like Canada isn't getting OnePlus Two for a while[emoji14] I am still eagerly awaiting my invite as well. Seems we are unlucky.

So there are now an increasing number of threads on the oneplus forum for international customers getting their invites.
Alas these invites are not shareable despite the good intentions of some members.
Anyone here get have any luck?

kashmir - you have got to be kidding when I guy puts these up for sale with the following babble:
"Hold on; let me play a sad song on the violin while you complain.
Day in and day out, I am smiling. There isn’t any specific reason in particular, but everything in my life right now is perfect. Not only do I have an amazing job with oodles of growth opportunity at Taco Bell. Right now I’m just making tacos, but my manager told me that he usually doesn’t have employees with my level of enthusiasm and that I could really go places within the company. I have this one idea … it’s sort of like the Crunchwrap Supreme, but it’s literally just two crunchy tacos inside the quesadilla tortilla. Genius, right? Not only would that taste incredible, but Taco Bell wouldn’t even have to buy any additional product … plus assembly would be a snap. My manager beamed when I told him that one.
Besides my awesome Taco Bell career ahead of me, I’ve got a lot more to be happy about. I recently got married to the most beautiful person I’ve ever met. We have two children and they’ve actually been aging at 1.5 times the normal rate, meaning that my 3 and 6 year old are actually 4 and 9 years old. I can’t wait for my 60th birthday when I’m going to be the same age as my first-born … every year after that she’ll be able to give ME advice about getting older!
You’d think that with all those things going on, my life couldn’t possibly get better, right? WRONG! Just last week I came into a windfall of HTC EVO View 4G Tablets. And when I say windfall I mean like 400,000 of them. Literally. I gave a few away to my friends and family, but mostly I’ve just been playing football with them. Boy I love football."
It may be humoruos, and maybe I'm humorless, but htis is wacked...

That's just blatantly copying woot's style.
Just ordered 1 from mobile.dailysteals.com
I want to know. Will all flyer roms work on this? I bought it to use as a wifi tablet. Its better then look tablet and kindlefire for $230 only! 32gb and you also have option for sd card! Maybe singlecore processor be problem but clocked at 1.5 I think it will do just fine.
So far, current flyer roms will not work on the View is the general answer.
Also, I've read on other sites (slickdeals) that some of these sites may take 1 or 2 weeks to ship. If you're cool with that then it's all good.
Bensoutlet just lowered the price to $219! I ordered it this morning for 239.. I emailed them to see if they would give a price adjustment since they lowered it just a couple hours after I bought it
Cool, It is now down to $219 on Bensoutlet.com. I just got mine today from the ebay deal. It got here in two days. I paid $240 and I am very happy. It is a nice tablet. My other tablet is the gtablet with bad viewing angles.
Whoops, right after posting this I see the post before this says the same thing.

Yes. Have tons of stuff on Amazon (uploaded my entire music collection). Have lots of movies on Amazon as well. Have 50 gb of space on dropbox. However, wifi not always accessible, and would like to carry music, books and manga with me. Would also like to have some of my favorite videos stored as well.
Daily Steals had it for $229
did anyone who ordered from ben's get shipping notification yet?
Just got my shipping notifications on 2 separate orders. The emails were in my spam box though.

Me too. I had ordered it when it was $239 and then just a few hours it dropped to $219. I emailed them and they said they are going to give me the $20 credit. So if you did jump on it and order from Ben's you might be able to get a $20 price adjustment credit. I'm not sure though if me ordering it just a few hours before they changed the price mattered or not but they did say they would issue me a credit for the difference
Anyone know where I can get another one of these? I bought one from 1saleaday.com but now I need to order a second!

Go to SlickDeals and set up an email alert of the HTC View. If a new hot deal is posted on there for one, you'll get notified.
I found a source for Flyer batteries. They emailed me today to tell me they are now ready to ship.
Depending on the numbers of interested parties and cost of shipping from the supplier to myself in the UK and then from me to you will denote the final price of the battery. The cost will be different for everyone depending on where you live.
If anyone is interested let me know so i have an idea of numbers. I'm bringing in 10 minimum anyway but if i need more there's no problem to get some more.

I'm talking about the internal battery for the HTC Flyer. If you don;t know what i'm talking about you probably don't need one.
10 Batteries Ordered )
Hi all,
I've just ordered 10 batteries (4000mAh @ 3.7v) and have a pigtail with connector on the end identical to the original battery), and they should be here in a couple of weeks. I'm keeping 2 for myself and letting the other 8 go. If you're interested please let me know otherwise they will be going on eBay in due course at full price.
I'm selling these at the discounted price of £25 per battery + postage to wherever you are in the world. Payment in GBP (Sterling) and you pay the transaction fee.
They'll be going on eBay if there are no takers here and they will be selling at £34.99 with a set of tools to crack open your Flyer.
As soon as they are here i'll post.
In the meantime if anyone wants one please let me know as it's first come first serve.
The reason i've bought them is because i refused to pay HTC UK £60 just to open my Flyer and look at it, and another £60 to replace the battery. That's a rip off if ever there was one. Doing it myself it cost me just the price i've paid for the battery. Job done!!
Cheers,
Francis

It's very easy to do. Just a little bit fiddly but very easy to do. I opened mine the other day with a cheap pack of tools i got off eBay and i was surprised at just how straightforward it was. There's a couple of screws and some very gentle prising of the case and it comes away no problem.
There are 2 or 3 ribbon cables to undo and that's about it.
Web page with instructions: http://www.techrepublic.com/photos/cracking-open-the-htc-flyer/6256123?seq=29
Have a look for yourself, lots of close up pictures.
Do you still have the batteries?
I'm still waiting for them to be delivered, nothing has arrived yet. As soon as they arrive i'll post and let everyone know.

Great Link!!
I could have done with that months ago before i decided to buy these batteries. Perhaps though you should have stuck it it on your own thread!!
OK folks, I'll be putting my batteries up on eBay if you want one.

Prey that if ever you're selling something on this forum i don't come along and post alternatives on the same thread...Just to be helpful to members of course I'll be watching your threads/postings with interest.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Speaking of batteries.....They arrived just now. Didn't take long but then they were DHL'd.
I only ordered 10 just to get a little bit of discount off them and even at that they are still much cheaper than getting them from HTC who won't sell you one anyway. And bar that rednck link i've never seen any for sale anywhere and i looked for a long time.
If i'd ordered 50 they might be a heck of a lot cheaper but £25 is cost and as cheap as i could sell them on here without losing out.
If you want one from me though it will be via eBay now.
Cheers
R they original HTC ones or copies?
The only place you're ever going to get an original (OEM) factory HTC battery is from HTC themselves and they don't sell them without HTC fitting them. At £120 for the pleasure....no thanks!!
Every other battery on the market regardless of what logo they they have printed on them or where they were manufactured will be generic. My batteries don't even say HTC on them so they can't be called copies or fakes unlike the one on your link that says HTC.
My batteries are manufactured by a well known LiPo battery manufacturer in China and they are extremely good quality. I fitted one the following day after they arrived, took less than 15 mins.
Currently my Flyer has been on since 7am and it's now nearly 6pm, I have made several calls today, used wifi and mobile network both on youtube and internet for about 20mins, made some notes, and been on standby the rest of the time.....currently telling me 91%.
It should improve a little bit more with a couple more battery calibrations over the next week or so. It will last all day long and then some now and is working as well as my original HTC battery ever did when that was new.
I don't need an original HTC battery...thanks

If you were selling a car, or some bits you had at home, or whatever you were selling, and somebody comes along and posts links to stuff being advertised elsewhere you wouldn't be too pleased would you?
This is your sale, not someone else's!! They have no business whatsoever screwing up your sale with their unhelpful link posting. They should be posting their own helpful stuff on their own thread if that's what they want to do.
That's just plain out of order and shows either mal intent on their part or, if they genuinely believed they were doing nothing wrong they are clearly to stupid to realise what they've done which is just as bad!!
It doesn't even matter if the stuff was the same price as yours, your sale/s is/are lost or will be passed by!!
Final chance to buy a battery!!
I've got 3 batteries left (with no tools) which i will offer on here for £25 + postage and you pay the PayPal transaction fee. I cannot sell them any cheaper than that otherwise they will be costing me to sell to you.
When they are gone they are gone, and unless there is more demand than i have batteries for i won't be buying any more after this.
Final chance to get one of these and you don't have long. PM me if you're interested and we'll take it from there!!

Ok since u moan so much - lets see...
1 British pound = 1.5673 U.S. dollars
25 X 1.5673 = 39,2
So battery costs 40$ + postage + transaction fee = as posted DISCOUNTED! LOL That easlly can be ower 60$
If u add that together u get 2 batteries from link i provided and since i am slow in mine head i onlly now see why is it unhelpfull. I dont know how much u payed for batteries since they can be golden as well. I simply provided a link so ppl can see how much they go for and obviuslly they go for half a price but might not be golden like yours.
So if ppl cant aford 50$+ batteries they stil might get one for 29$ (including shiping and transaction fee secured by paypal and 30 days money back waranty). Dont forget i am geting a huge provision for advertising.
Oh and enjoy monitoring mine sales for rip offs. Be welcome and post with helpfull links where ppl can see their options. U trying to make me look bad for providing a good reference wheil u charging DISCOUNTED price for batteries for rate of X2? Jezus

Your arrogance is noted Redneck and you're wasting your breath. Now you are showing mal intent and that's just fine. You're showing yourself up to being a persistent **** as well and that's OK too. You carry on!!
If you're so smart why don't you go out, buy yourself some Flyer batteries and offer XDA members a good deal instead of critiquing my offering at cost? Put your money where your mouth is instead of trying to piss me off for doing exactly that.
I didn't have to offer these batteries to xda members but i did, and i could have put them all on eBay but i didn't. Ultimately you won't do the same as me because you've got all the answers and no action, in fact you're full of ****, but i forgive you!!
Trust me when i say you'll get very little discount for buying 10 batteries from China. 50 batteries yes, but 10 very little. There's also the small matter of getting the batteries into the UK, then there is the cost of Custom and Excise charges on top when the batteries get here, and VAT on top of that again, but of course you already knew that didn't you?. Get your facts right!!
And let me tell you something else....£25 in the UK is nothing!! They are as cheap as you will get here!!! If you can get them cheaper elsewhere good for you, and If you do want super cheap batteries please get one from your own link otherwise if you're not wanting a battery from me go and bother someone that gives a toss!!

Hi,
I opened this topic because officially Sony has not given yet a release date for the aforementioned products.
I live in Italy, which is basically the third world for anything remotely technological, and I gave up asking various clerks for the Xperia Z Ultra (launch was due mid September worldwide, here nobody knows nothing about it), let alone asking for accessories.
It might be the same as asking for a microprocessor at a grocery store.
So I sent Sony an email, I tweeted them, but no response whatsoever.
I scoured the net for dates, and as of now only Clove in the UK seems to have a date (September 13), but even that's not sure 100%.
All I want to know is, as a friend of mine is going to NY on September 17th, if I could tell him for sure to bring me back a SBH-52 and a SmartWatch 2,and possibly how much would he pay them, and maybe where to search for them.
I know I'm asking a lot here, but maybe there are some New Yorkers here that could give me an advice...
My friend is not as tech savvy as us, so I don't want him to run around in circles to search for a unicorn that will be on sale next month...
I only saw price for the sbh52 on UK webstores, they talk about 64£ with VAT for mid September. Couldn't find any US website, or maybe didn't look so well. So with today rate exchange it would be about $100. Didn't look for the smart watch 2.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
The SBH-52 is priced in Germany at 64€ ~ 85USD, and the SmartWatch 2 at 179€ ~ 235USD.
But usually the devices here get the same value in USD then in Euro, due to VAT, customs and generally higher price level.
So if it will be tagged at 149$ (just as an example!) or whatever, we get the same in Euro.
Both are not set up with a release date yet. But for me its quite evident/presumable, that they will be avail together with the XZU Europe/US release as both were hardly advertised with.
I know, if I had to guess I'd say 199 USD for the SmartWatch 2, and around 70 for the SBH-52.
So it sums up to 270 USD, a little more than 200 euros.
If they make it available from September 17th or before it will save me 70 euros, not bad uh?
If they throw the SmartWatch 2 at 149 USD I'll be more than pleased...
P. S. Does anybody know how much costed the last SmartWatch at launch?
If i remember right it was a SRP of 129€
Smart Watch 2 is selling for about £60 on eBay here in the UK
What they're offering there as SM2 is not the real 2nd version - it is actually the first.
So the price is not a decision-making basis.

I have been looking around as well for price availability and release date. For a week or so Sonymobile.com/gb had a price for the SBH52 as £79.00 with coming soon with a Buy now option which didn't work. They have a corrected it now and it just says coming soon.
As you might know clove.co.uk is selling it for £64.99, while amazon.co.uk seems to be out of stock and will dispatch as sson as they receive them. Amazon is selling it for £56.03..I have placed an order and just Waiting
I have read most probably this is coming out at the end of September. Well we will see.
Has anybody in the uk recieved there smartwatch 2 yet from what ive read the release has been pushed back till Oct 1st,
Almost 20 days since the first post and no news yet.
My friend is in the states and I'm afraid he won't bring anything home...
I tweeted Sony but they didn't reply, I asked the support centre but they say they don't know about release dates...
It's getting frustrating.
Yep, I have one. Can post pictures and answer questions

Not yet, but I might get one soon.
The watch vibrates and lights up like the old one, but the vibrate is MUCH more powerful.

I deserve an invite because ...
I started this thread
Invites are needed again?
Sent from my LG-H815
I genuinely want this phone and hope someone is kind enough to throw me an invite!! Paying it forward is an awesome (and rare) thing to do these days.
I have gone mad by using HOX+ and his 3 hours SOT battery and now I am looking for something new but cheaper. I wanted to buy Oneplus One but thetn I read that Oneplus Two is coming. I would be very happy if someone is good enough to share invite with me.

I'm really cute
And I'm giving up on htc One X and htc one m8. They are great phones...but I want more!
Please, share the invite with me too....
Thank you in advance! - And now you are cutie too :good::fingers-crossed:
*sigh*
this again... I would like an invite but even more I'd like the ability to just order the phone... without this invite game. No one liked it the first time (well no one without invites) so why repeat it? I have to earn the right (lotto or sweepstakes style) to pay full price for a phone... really? Only thing that will help is if they have a crazy number of invites. I would actually prefer them wait until they have enough stock before selling the phone and just have a normal preorder then regular order system.... even if that means it wont come out for another 6 months.... think I'm crazy? You probably wont even earn an invite until then anyways.... I wasted so much time trying to get an invite for the oneplus one that eventually I lost interest all together.
If this phone is priced the same as others ($600-700) I think sales will suffer due to this invite system and there wont be a one plus 3. I hope I'm wrong... but doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is insane... Oneplus one launch was NOT a success but a failure... so repeating that is a bad idea (the metric to judge this is it was a desired phone by by the time everyone could get an invite they were so pissed that they didn't want it even when they had invites... I couldn't give my invites away). I'm hoping this time they will be more prepared and send out 200,000 invites a day at LEAST.
Sorry had to be said
*drops mic*
From a buyer point of a view the invite system is as annoying as it can be, but from their POV it was a success.
They did not antecipate or have the resources to meet the demand without cutting it with the invites.
They also do not spend money on marketing so the invite system is free publicity, hey arent we doing it right now?
Im looking for a replacement for my N5 so maybe the OPT might be it, we'll see when the specs are out.
I'd like an invite because I'm curious about Oneplus phones. While I won't just go get the One because the 2 is right around the corner, I'd like to give it a try. I've been forever stuck on brand name phones, changing phones out every year, I'd like a phone that has a great price point.

I think the price was what made them successful not the invite system. The big thing that hit the media was a top of the line phone with midrange price. The invite system brought frustration and the same media outlets that praised them at first turned against them. Now their name is out and they do not need to play with invites... Bringing that back would be a mistake. Maybe as a pre-release - get your hands on the device before launch thing but other than that I see it as a bad idea. If they just release normal they will probably win the market. If they keep playing games it will be their down fall. Yes, I agree from their POV they may think it was a success but it brought frustration. I do know they did not have a choice but this year they do, if they anticipate high demand put off the launch until they can fill most orders within the first or second month. If people know a decent ETA of when they can have the phone in their hand it will restore faith in their buyers. Problem solved. ☺

My OPO was just stolen yesterday, have had to go back to using my old S2..
Cant wait for the OP-2.. but of course wait for the dreaded invite.. hope to get one in the first batch
Australia shipping maybe?
An invite and local Australian shipping would be great. Don't like having to give other people money just to get phone into Australia when they could just list it as an option.
I deserve an invite because my dad is still using a laggy Nokia c7.
I'm looking forward to getting one too! If someone ever got one, I'm already in the line ahah
Give me an invite, or don't, doesn't really matter to me. It would just be nice to have a phone that isn't locked down tighter than Guantanamo (current Verizon S5 user).
I would love an invite as I'm currently running an HTC One M7 with the horrid pink/purple camera issue. I don't have a spare phone and use it for work so I couldn't deal with sending it in for warranty repairs, and I'm waiting until August before my contract is up with AT&T to get a new phone without paying full price. Either way, all of the current options this time around just don't entice me, but being able to get a flagship-level phone out of contract for (assuming) not $600+ would be great.
As an upcoming university student this fall, budgets and money is very slim for me. It sucks because my hobby and passion of having the best devices is very expensive. I love my Nexus 4 because it provides great experience and was very affordable, and the One Plus Two will continue that for me. Would LOVE an invite Thank you !
hi, I would like to receive an invite because I'm fed up with these brads that are selling in my country. you could only buy samsung, HTC, LG, Apple,... no other brads. Can you please send me an invite?
thank you.
I have an iPhone 5 and want to give a chance to the android system.
Guys this is my two cents worth. Purchase your note 7 supplies like cases etc... at a discount price. Wait a few weeks and get the new fixed Note 7 most likely at a discounted price. If the note 7 never comes back then returned the goodies no problem.
I can't wait for my discounted Note 7 fully fixed
Good luck

Makes absolutely no sense.
Of course it does you think people are gojg to purchase note 7 full price after a massive recal for a major safety issue like going up in flames. No way some incentives are needed to get people back. You will see.
Makes no sense, this also goes to show whats wrong with this generation of entitlement. Samsung does not owe us any type of compensation for what has happened with the Note 7. Stuff happens. If they just so happen to feel generous then so be it but other than that be happy with your phone or go else ware.
hey, think, think, you really believe samsung is going to sell note 7 a the price of a second rate device? come on, be serious
We will see ......I like Samsung and I wiill get one no matter what, I have s Note 3 now but lets face Note 7 for the mass consumer its pretty much dead. It blows up dude that is not jst an antenna problem. It will take a pretty heavy dutty propaganda campaign to turn the tide on this one. Samsung will offer incentives how much its any ones guess but right now you can get cases etc for it at a pretty low price. Check Amazon.

The Note 7 recall could change how the public sees Samsung smartphones, and that is arguably the biggest challenge that the company is facing right now.
Read this ar another forum exactly my point.

I disagree.
They have put consumers in danger and for some caused injuries and damage. I would say that goes beyond "stuff happens".
For others whose devices have not exploded (like mine) it has certainly cause differing levels of stress and nervousness having the device not knowing if or when it will pop. Im a pretty chill guy but Id be lying if I said it didnt worry me at this point when i charge device. And this whole ordeal has changed how I use my device day to day which is not acceptable.
Then there is samsung asking for everyone to power down the devices and use what exactly in place of it? Not everyone is fortunate to have multiple devices lying around.
Then there is the train wreck of a recall...ive signed up for it and called numerous times and none of the CSRs knows anything and all give different answers which then causes more stress and uneasiness as you have no clue whats going on and clearly neither do they.
Oh and they expect us to drive and drop the defective devices off at drop points. Easy enough for some not for others...me personally im not lifting a finger to drop my old one off anywhere...i have better things to do. You want it...come and pick it up...you screwed it up in the first place.
Then theres the issue of going on an airplane with it...not even going to go there.
Oh yeah.. what about those of us who spent $50+ for ghost armour or similiar things front and back? Of course i have to pay for it AGAIN when i get my new device...whenever the hell that may be. Thats also not acceptable, samsung should be paying for it.
So yeah....your damn straight they owe us, the people who pre ordered and do so every single year and buy multiple samsung devices each year for many years all outright. And in the Note 7s case If I pay $1200 for a device i damn sure do not expect it to blow up in my face...literally
I am the least self entitled person and anyone here who knows me knows thats true but im this case yes I am expecting compensation from samsung for this major screw up.
Stuff happens this is true, but if it was that minor would the US and CAN governments be involved? Highly unlikely.

This will absolutely change the publics opinion and trust in samsung....to a massive degree.
Its not the recall thats going to cost them its the loss of trust from the public which equals lost current sales and future sales and in the long run market share. Their market share has already droppef and it will get worse before it gets better.
They will need to bend over backwards with incentives and freebees to get people back to where we were in buying samung products.
This goes well beyond mobile as well...dont think for a second this wont hurt their other areas of interest..TVs,appliances etc

For informational purpose only how come you paid 1200 dollars for your phone? In US is onky around 650 and hiw come you can't return it and get your money back? Here you can get your money back or get another phone.
I still think once they fix it it wil be cheaper to get one or there will be great incentives.
Time will tell i am waiting a month or two to upgrade to one once the problems are fix.

I believe the Note 7 its pretty much a done deal. Only people like us that really want the phone will purchase one. Main stream I believe the note 7 missed the station long time ago. On the other hand even died hards like us dont like to give our money away. I have been searching and I will consider something like the moto z force if the price of the Note 7 remains the same. Remember its on a no fly list and will take a while to be removed if ever. Note 7 its a tainted phone untill the day it dies. Its sad but in reality , the bad perception out there will not change.
