Might be a buy again some day. But it ain’t now.

They have their hands in a lot of products so i dont think they’ll go under.

But they’re down 8 percent right now and Apple could gain nicely from this.

Maybe this will give HTC a chance. They really make great stuff.. And Taiwan, not red china stuff. (probably made there anyway, but the company..)

I was walking into a pub last night that’s next to an AT&T store. Guy was locking the doors as I walked by.

I pointed at the large Note 7 poster hanging from the ceiling behind the front window and laughed. He thought I wanted something, so he opened the door back up and stuck his head out,

“Can I help you?”

“No, just having a laugh over that!” < pointing>

“Oh, yeah!”

That’s what they get for going the iPhone route and taking away the removable/replaceable batteries.

My Galaxy Note 2 was great—but LG has the better solutions now for those who want to swap in and have a fresh battery.

Which in a way was too bad because the Galaxy Note 7 had the potential to be the best smartphone of 2016.

Many think the real culprit was the way Samsung implemented the USB Type C connector technology on this phone, which made vulnerable to battery overheating. If Samsung had stayed with the older Micro USB connector, it's likely that the Galaxy Note 7 wouldn't be suffering all the battery issues.

In other news Samsung is annoucing the new Note 8, with new and exciting features such as onboard fire suppression.

Not surprised. I used to have a Samsung cell phone myself, and it worked for 6 months than it died. The battery would be very, very warm. I have not bought another one ever since. Now I have an LG.

It’s difficulty to believe that a large, successful corporation like Samsung would not have tested a major new product extensively to detect a problem such as an overheating battery before product release. That’s not a newly discovered problem for cell phones.

House Speaker Paul Ryan called an impromptu press conference and ran to the microphone to announce he never purchased a Galaxy Note 7 Smartphone, and that he does not support Samsung products.

When asked about this development, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said he had no comment and would remain silent on the issue.

Samsung has now been banned from our household. We are in the market for a new washing machine, and after reading about exploding Samsung washing machines, I do not want to take the risk.

I have witnessed firsthand the effects of corporate sabotage on Microsoft Windows Phones on the same day in two different locations a half hour drive from each other. One was in Best Buy and one in Frys Electronics.

The sabotage was to the entire line of Windows phones while Apple and Android lines were untouched. The store staff in both places said they were experiencing vandalism.

Samsung investigated every reported case of batteries on fire and found them to be suspicious or fake.

I would not be surprised if a competitor was trying to take Samsung out of the race.

Samsung has been putting batteries into their phones for a long time now. It’s not like they don’t know what they’re doing.

I am convinced this is industrial sabotage. Nothing else makes sense.

The Galaxy Note 7 is no more - ANDROID PING!

Android Ping!
If you want on or off the Android Ping List, Freepmail me.

Have to say I'm a little surprised by this. I wonder if this decision comes out of engineering or marketing?
