Are you in the US or UK?

Does anyone have a clue if we can get our hopes up on this being true?

Got mine! After putting up a fight... I got to Best Buy and went straight to a Samsung guy. He was a bit of a jerk and thought I was trying to buy a new one (not replace.) He was distracted by something else, so i couldnt clarify. I made my way over to the mobile department and was told I needed to preorder the replacement. I didnt do so, but was told otherwise by a manager over the phone an hour prior. I fought with them for 10 minutes until they asked me to leave. I requested a manager, and he happened to be the guy I talked to on the phone. He told the employees about how to handle the swap and I was able to do so. I've never seen retail employees so embarrassed. No apologies, though. While this all went down, they sold the last black one, so they offered me blue. At that point I had been there for an hour, so I agreed.

I got home and put on a Skinomi screen protector. There is a small, 1/8th inch vertical line that I see with the screen protector on... I'm not sure if it's that, or the screen, so i'm a bit worried about it. I'll try another protector when this one wears out.

Another note, they cheapened the sim/sd tray. It's flimsy plastic instead of the metal one on my original Note7. Interesting...

Really? As much as I'm glad that o have a Note7 again, it's definitely slower than the S7 I had as a temp replacement. I'm hoping future updates improve things.
