I love my Note 7.

I miss mine. I ended up getting a pixel xl. In retrospect I think the moto z line looks better.

We've been running Moto phones for years. So much less crapware and bloat and probably a better phone. We've still got a Moto-X (that is preferred because of it's smaller size instead of carrying a phablet) and a few Moto-X 2nd gens being used daily.

If you still have your Note 7, I would exchange it. Samsung is rolling out a software "update" by years end that will brick all Note 7's.

However..... Android updates need to be authorised by not only Samsung, but the phone company as well. I heard that Verizon (I think it was Verizon), will NOT be pushing that update out. Their reason "If we have a client that only has that phone as a means of communication and we disable the battery, then they will not be able to call for help should they require it. For safety sake, we will not push crippling updates out." (paraphrased as I can't remember the website that I got the info from).

Nothing out there has the features that the Samsung Galaxy Note Line has. The stylus alone is the main reason that I like it.

It doesn't matter what phone you get as you'll get the same bloatware from the carrier on all of the phones they sell. The only way to not get any bloatware is to buy the phones direct from the manufacturers. Even then they come with some bloatware

But I figure at some point Samsung will do what they did (or threatened to do) with the first batch of phones - push out an update that prevents the battery from charging beyond a certain percentage. Or some other crippling update to force people to stop using them.

Sounds like what M$ is doing to folks who have winderz 10

Just an update - All carriers have agreed to terminate the Note 7.

I've had really bad luck with samsung phones they just keep having problems after about 2 years of usage. I went with a nexus 6 so that I could use project fi service.
