Do I really need to trade in mine?

Verizon is offering to waive restocking fee but they don't have any new ones in stock

I see you still didn't give up on your replaceable battery preference.

Several Airlines Just Banned the Samsung Galaxy Note 7


The FAA has released the following statement concerning the Galaxy Note 7:

In light of recent incidents and concerns raised by Samsung about its Galaxy Note 7 devices, the Federal Aviation Administration strongly advises passengers not to turn on or charge these devices on board aircraft and not to stow them in any checked baggage.

I hope it gives other companies besides apple an in in the market, to create an even bigger competition. Imagine what technology can be created from many companies competing to create the best phone.

According to my source Verizon will starting sometime next week begin sending out new note 7's, then you ship them back your old one.

correct, however it probably would not be as thin/durable. There is a reason they make them non removeable.

Who needs it to as thin as it is? If there are people that would rather have it thinner, then Samsung should at least give two options.
