Recall Note 7

[Lidenbrock]

Can anyone tell me what's happening re the Note 7 Recall by Samsung? I received my Samsung Note 7 on a pre-order. There doesn't seem to be anything on the O2 website giving information about the recall.

Hi @Lidenbrock All explained here in this thread. http://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Welcome-News/Samsung-Galaxy-Note7-Update-from-O2/m-p/995374#M16841

Advice is to ring Samsung directly.....

Edited to add phone number for Samsung 0330 7261000

Anyone who has received a Note 7 should follow the recall procedure, but this article explains which Note 7's are more likely to have problems.

So it "might" be safe if made in China - not too reassuring, is it?

Not very reassuring at all. Yet another reason not to be the first one on the block to have the latest and greatest phone. Never a great idea, in my opinion.

Yes it's funny how things work. I was determined to have a Note 7 this year....then sat back and thought why?

I didn't use half the functions on my Note 3.....so went for the Note 4...and I am quite happy not using half the functions on that

Have you considered a Nokia 3310?
