For those of you who love the Note 7 and REFUSE to turn it in:
- Even if it charges cool and never overheats, it's still a fire risk. Note 7s have already caught fire with no warning signs.
- Samsung may very well force all remaining Note 7s into Airplane Mode (or your carrier may lock out your device from the network). It would then be a paperweight.
- Your Note 7 is no longer supported by Samsung. You will never get an update and there will be no warranty support.
- You will not be able to sell it. You'll have to take a major loss on it.
Bottom line: PLEASE just turn it in. I hated to lose mine too... but I won't risk torching my house or car over a phone. There will be other wonderful flagships: it's just not worth keeping.
