Hey, so i have a Galaxy Note and was wanting to buy a GSM unlocked Galaxy Nexus before Google stops selling them. So my question is, is it worth selling my Note and buying a Nexus? Or trading it for one?
google will always have a nexus phone of some type for sale.
only you can make the decision for yourself. read, research and decide what you need from a device and you will be happier than someone just telling you what to do.

Hey
So I have tmobile jump on demand, got the s7 edge like 4 months ago and it's a beast of a phone. Wondering what your guys opinion is if it's worth getting the note 7
Sadly I don't think it's much of an upgrade from s7 edge
But i still couldn't resist pre ordering it. I have the s7 edge will let it go to my Mrs and sell her s6 edge plus
Still can't wait till it gets delivered lol

If you have JOD, why wouldn't you do it? T-Mobile will do it for $70. I have one more JOD, for this year, and I'll probably do it once more. I love the S7 edge and getting a new Note 7 @ $900 for so little means I'll love this one too.

I still have to pay a down payment? When I got JOD for the edge, rep said I only pay down payment once and whenever I upgrade to something else, I don't need to pay my down or tax anymore
I'm also a JOD customer, and when I originally pre-ordered the phone it was with a $70 dollar deposit. Long story short I had to upgrade to an S7 Edge when my note 5 stopped charging and i was headed out of town and needed the phone. That included cancelling the pre-order.
When I called back, I was told that exact thing. As a JOD customer, I don't have to pay the down payment. I honestly asked to go back to the $70 down to lower the monthly and they said it wasn't possible anymore for JOD. So maybe he/she did it before they came out with the updated pricing for JOD customers.
Now, all that being said. I've had the s7 for about a week and a half and do love the phone but am missing the stylus as I've been an avid note user since my first Note 3. My fiance was originally going to do the Note 7 but she liked the phone I have so much she's going to go for the s7 Edge instead. I'm definitely upgrading because of the stylus, slightly larger screen, and iris scanning. And, I'm actually surprised to be looking forward to the Edge screen because I wasn't sure I'd even like it coming from the Note 5.

Yea i called tmobile and they said i had to pay a 70 downpayment and if i dont, my monthly payment is 38$ which is absurd. I was under the impression that when i'm on JOD, i could get the phone at their regular monthly pricing without paying the down, otherwise not worth it
Note5 here... Its pretty much the same thing... A bit faster, a bit better camera, a bit bigger battery and a screen that's a bit curvy-er

Yeah it's worth the upgrade the note is actually a computer and has a lot more access you need MSN Excel PowerPoint all of the above.. ... .z. . x.... .
Over on android forum a guy just pasted a price of £740 on release in the UK. Lol
If I sell my S7E I probably would have to stump up another 300 quid for the addition of a pen.
I'll enjoy my superb Edge a little longer until prices have dropped ... or the S8 is announced .
Motorola V20 might be interesting too.
Not until they fix the awful memory management, if any.
Coming from Note 4 or 5, probably yes, from s7e u probably better wait for V20 or any other phone.
IMHO these questions are ones that only You can answer.
From what device you are upgrading from? what you want from phone? Which values you more, Note 7 or the money you need to use for it.. And so on.
S7 Edge Exynos user here,
I was expecting to buy the Note 7 in launch but it is not offering enough reasons to make a switch. First and most important of all, i wanted to get rid of EDGED curvy display but it is still there in note7. The cpu/gpu and ram is the same.Camera havent changed. I dont find spen any use. Unless they release a Note 7 with flat screen, exynos 8893 and 6gb of ram, better and higher mp camera, i will wait for S8 to be released. Hopefully they would release the S8 with 5.5inch flat display.
I think it's worth it but you need to really take a close look at what you use your phone for/want to use your phone for. I think the Note 7 has a lot to offer if you plan to use it in a certain way (basic example: would you use a stylus?).
Seeing everyone in this forum and other people online get their note 7's is making me so sad, I want to buy one for my dad and I but $850 per one is pretty steep. So, I was wondering if anyone has heard any news or rumors about a bogo for tmobile/sprint for this phone.(buy one note 7 get one free. not the buy a note get a s7 edge free) Thank you for your help
You would probably have to check at your carriers retail store because best buy has the note7 and S7 deal but my carrier AT&T has the 2 note 7's.
I've been looking into it constantly and there's no news. I finally went and looked at Evan Blass' Twitter page and read his original tweet where he suggested that there would be a BOGO for note 7 at T-Mobile. There was a reply to his tweet on August 2nd where someone told him his information was wrong. Evan Blass got offended and told him that his info was correct. He seemed very adamant that a BOGO is coming but gave no further info. With his reputation on the line he said more than once that he was not wrong and it's coming. Go look at his Twitter page and read the tweet from July 19.
I'm very impatient too and want to get my wife and I our note 7 ASAP.
I'm sure it will come in the next couple of weeks. No later than the iPhone 7 launch.

It just officially came out today, come on. But sprint is offering a S7 free if you buy a note 7. Just saw the commercial as I was typing!
I purchased two from att with a bogo, 695 off the second phone. So almost free. They give you credit in your statement, for the 30 month installment plan. One phone can be an upgrade but the second has to be a new line.
wow I wish Canada had BOGO deals! So you guys can buy a Note 7 and get another for free? That's amazing!!
So Verizon is already having their BOGO. Att has theirs. It would be hard for me to imagine that T-Mobile would not also do it.
I looked on Evan Blass' Twitter and the same guy was giving him a hard time telling him he was wrong about the BOGO. I think he was trying to provoke him to get more info.
At this point I don't know what to think but I'm so impatient I just don't know if I can wait.

Okay, I hope I'm not getting on people's nerves. I keep posting about this BOGO deal and I don't know if no one is really interested but this and the other thread are dead and I'm not just posting to boost the thread. I might just be super impatient but I'm about ready to give up on this BOGO deal. I'm starting to get the understanding that if T-Mobile did a BOGO it would be a T-Mobile promo and not a Samsung promo. If T-Mobile wanted to do a BOGO promo they would have done it at launch to compete with Verizon and ATT and draw in new customers.
I'm feeling like it's not going to happen. T-Mobile is still offering the promo deal to get the free gift with the note 7 now through Sunday. I might just break down get 2 this week.
If no one cares and no one is paying attention to this thread that's cool, maybe I just needed some time to talk to myself to work through my decision. If anyone is interested drop a post and let me know that I'm not the only one. Check you out later.

Don't worry man, I'm so anxious for this deal to happen too! I've been postings everywhere I suggest you wait until the 28th to buy, if you don't get the bogo deal at least you get a gear fit 2 or 256gb micro as card

I am going to try to find a phone number or a email address for somebody with some real power at Samsung and/or Sprint. Here's why
If I turn in my Samsung note 7 and get say a S7. 1) Samsung really doesnt loose anything. A S7 cost about the same as a Note 7 and probably cost the same as the s7 to make which is way less than what they sell it for. 2) I paid off y note 4 to get my 7... so now when the S8 and/or note 8 comes out I will still owe 1 years worth of payments on what ever phone I have at that time. Why should I have to shell out when it was Samsung that screwed up. At that rate Samsung gets all of their money for the S7 and gets more money because I got the S8. Somebody needs to take this up with Samsung and the carriers. If I find some contact information I will
Why not just get a refund?

Agreed, I'm on att next, which works for me because I always grab the newest phone. So why should I have to guve this phone back, get locked into "last year's model" (yes i know it didnt come out last year) that I purposely didn't grab when it came out, and miss the next new option, like the s8 when this is the phone i chose to give my s6 edge + up for, sure as hell not gonna grab another s6 edge + and pay it half off again after i paid off half the last one and turned it in for this phone.
I feel like i should be able to skip to the s8 when it drops if i want to, as long as i get a samsung phone in place of my note 7 they should do a temp contract to allow us to upgrade early. Honestly id rather just keep the Note 7 and upgrade to tge Note 8 next year as planned, aside from the s6 edge +, I dont really care for the S series, I'm a note guy and have been since the note 1. But because of all of this i gotta use my upgrade to get an "old" phone I passed over? Because i highly doubt ATT is gonna send my half paid off S6 Edge + back, so I'm basically phoneless.
At this pouny im thinking about just buying a cheap samsung outright to use, i dont want to lose Gear S3 capabilities whenever that drops, so I'm stuck with Samsung until the next upgrade, ill let my VR collect dust if i have to, but I'm patiently waiting for that S3, grabbing another brand phone or like OnePlus3 just isnt an option. Samsung or bust.

The very reason why I paid off my Note 4 (I only had a few more payments left anyways) rather than trading it in as an upgrade is so I would be able to keep the Note 4 and use it as backup if necessary (I know it defeats the purpose of plans like ATT's Next, but I like to keep what I own and regard those plans similar as the old 2 year contracts). If I decide to return the Note 7, I will go back to my Note 4 to avoid being stuck or owing another year of payments on a phone that I don't want to begin with. Why not do the same? Get a refund on your Note 7 and go back to the 4 for a few months?
I gave my 4 to my mom. I'd rather fight with Sprint and Samsung than take something back from my mom
I'm in the same situation. My wife and I had the Moto x 2014. We got the note 7 and like a day later a cat knocked hers off the counter and shattered the screen. I thought of buying a cheap phone for her and both of us waiting it out for at least the S8 edge, but then I don't know what will happen to the deal I got for the geat s2 or the freebies from Samsung. There has Been absolutely nothing from either at&t or Samsung. I haven't gotten an email or text. Nothing. So is this phone really being recalled? Are they waiting to see if people will flock to trade it in before they offer anything? I would love to get a loaner s7 and then be able to upgrade within the next year. That to me sounds fair, given the bull**** everyone has gone through. But I don't want to be stuck with an already six month old phone. I love this phone an honestly it breaks my heart a little to part with it. The only reason I will is because of updates and possibly no warranty. I don't believe I'm at risk for fire.
That's where im at. If they can say i can upgrade to the new note or whatever next August, id do it in a heartbeat. Until then, im fine with this.
Verizon canceled what I owe on my payments for my Note 7, which made my account available for upgrade. So I upgraded and selected an S7 Edge. I assume once they receive my Note 7 back in the mail I will receive a refund on the taxes I paid for the Note 7 and another $25 credit.
ATT will reset the upgrade cycle as well.

Yeah but once you upgraded (or rather, downgraded), you lost your upgrade for when the S8 or another device comes out, that's a bit what the OP was after I'd think. Once you change to another phone on a plan, your plan will reset.

I am month to month with an unlimited data plan, if I pay off my phone ( & sell on craiglist) I can upgrade.
Here with bell in canada you go back to where you were before you started your contract. so if you had none, you will be switched to a month to month plan meaning off contract.

Ahhh ok, forget what I said lol
Guess I could do the same, but I'm not 100% on paying 600-700 for an older device :/
I am still using my Note 4 after returning Note 7. Had to shell out addition 70 bucks for a new case and glass screen protector. Hopefully it will get me through to Q1 2017 till I can see what Samsung comes up with then. I consider myself loyal to Samsung even if I didn't get the s7. I didn't go to some other company like many did. I had no way of knowing they would offer a huge discount on s8 (which I hope they do - sounds awesome!!!) and 2 years is a long time to bind yourself with a contract to using a dated phone. But, for our trouble, shouldn't we former Note 7 customers get a discount on s( or Note 8 as well? I mean those that didn't go on s7? Say yay if you agree hopefully some Samsung spy will se it .
Back Note 4 rooted with MOAR note 5 port.

I'm unsure still but most likely I'll end up with my old Note 4.
As for that discount, was that confirmed yet or still rumors? If rumors, don't count on it.. they're already offering people 100 bucks to step onto the S7, I doubt they're going to do another discount.
