This thread is NOT about the NOTE5...
IT is about the way users are responding and how Samsung is trying to use the reality-distortion field developed by Apple:

some people actually think it is OK.. to say: read the instruction! do as it says!!
even Phandroid says that we should be OK with this because we were warned in the instruction manual:

like bendgate.. or "you are holding it wrong"
it is the users fault?? not bad design!!!! ??????

why cant these people see.. putting the pen in backwards.. is and can be a mistake by any normal person.
kids.. yes, most adults will let someone young play with their phone.
in a hurry...
drunk....
just plain curious...
because it is there...
etc...
it does not matter how it is done.. it should be designed to safeguard against it. because it is something very easy to happen.

does not matter why or how it MIGHT go in backwards.. it should be designed to NOT fit backwards... or NOT break if it does go in backwards.

those people that buy into the excuse.. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS AND FALLOW THEM!
really??
you all drive within the speed limit?
don't enter in the "Exit" door?
Put the wrong material in the recycle ben?

we make fun of APPLE fans for being fooled by their Reality-Distortion field..

The Phandroid article is absolutely ridiculous, and should never have made it to publication IMO. Especially love this quote:
Do you operate your car without first reading the manual? We sure hope not. Your phone should be no different.

Yeah, no. 99% of people won't read their car's owners manual, especially cover to cover, and most phone manuals contain no useful information. For such an expensive device to ship with such a stupid design flaw is bad enough, but but to shame or blame the victims makes Phandroid look like a shill for Samsung.

You can do better.
