Literally just walked into a local Rogers Plus store in Ajax and asked if they had any and asked if I wanted Black or Silver. Had put the phone on hold because the system is backed up bad since everyone is trying to upgrade to it today haha. Going back later or tomorrow morning to pick it up.

Just gotta sell my 6P now to ease my mind in regards to the price.

At least yours is leaving Toronto...

I'm IN Greater Toronto Area, and I haven't heard a peep from them. No tracking number, no email, nothing.

If the store wasn't 40+ minutes away, I would've went to the store directly after work. If I knew that they were ACTUALLY going to do the $200 trade-in for the Note 7 (when Samsung has stated it's only for the GS7 and GS7E during the ENTIRE course of the pre-order), I would've done it in a heartbeat and forget about the pre-order bonus.

To add insult to injury, those who preordered from the store get BOTH the promotion and the $200 trade-in discount. What a load of garbage.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] wingswrath:
Yup, that was probably what was worse. If they had informed me, I probably wouldve driven to sherway to preorder too D:
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] WorldIRC:
So...for all of you using your device now, any signs of the Mobile Hotspot quick toggle?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] nighthawk29:
Also to note (no pun intended), I live 2 mins from their Mississauga office and 5 mins from tech data warehouse and they still can't get it out to me on launch. That's what is the worst part of this pre-order bs to me. Next time I'll drive to Sherway. If I had a chance of still getting a blue unit today I'd go in later on but I know that will be a waste of my time so now I'm stuck waiting until next week.

I may, out of spite just return it once I get it and try a different (non-Samsung) phone instead. I haven't decided yet.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] DLG187:
Fair point, I'll post when it does

I still plan to try to get the $200 in-store if I can..it might mean returning my online order, but worth a shot.

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] WorldIRC:
Maybe I just need to get used to it? If I wiggle a MicroUSB, the phone would still charge, but with USB C, if it wiggles too much, the connection is lost.

I asked for my friend who ordered on Weds. The sales guy said it should be this weekend. The black colour should be easily available.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sevael:
It's very snug and secure for me. It has a nice solid 'click' when it catches in place and it stays there. The phone can hang from the cable once attached. I also tried a couple of third-party type-C cables that I bought for my Nexus 6P and they fit just as well.

If yours is that bad, you might want to exchange it.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] WorldIRC:
You're a genius! I wasn't getting that click, so I pushed it a little harder, and bam, solid! No wiggle, and I can hang the phone by the cable. Using Anker cables btw!

Hey im interested i live on wilson
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pointro:
I preordered the blue. But Wind called me and said the there is a global shortage of that colour, so I got the silver, which I liked best when I saw them in person anyways.

Personally I think that they all look nice. I think that Coral Blue was actually too understated; it looks better on camera than in real life. I'd like a darker blue, like the Midnight Blue on the Nexus 6, with an outright gold trim. But it's a good chance from the typically bland colours we see. And Samsung will probably have crazier colours in the future. I'd do horrible things for a ruby red Note7.

The silver is super clean... Too clean. It's a fingerprint magnet. It's the colour that makes the phone look like an gaudy, expensive and fragile piece of technology. It's basically a chrome finish. And as we know, in the future everything will be chrome.

The black is just stealthy. The uniform color makes it look especially sleek. When you play movies, the bezels will fade into the background, making things more cinematic. But I actually don't like the shiny finish in this case.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Brava27:
Loving the silver. Always loved titanium. Black is OK but boring.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] smile_ppl:
If the bootloader is unlocked on the W8 I'm really thinking about importing the Canadian model to T-Mobile. I have my N7 still sealed up but I'm going to return it cause of the locked BL. Don't really want the international model either because it will never really get good AOSP support. Any good places to import besides eBay?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Brava27:
Prices on Kijiji are insane, $1100-$1500 for each phone.

Call the Rogers Plus store in Ajax on Westney and see what they say. I had a device reserved but went there outta curiosity and asked if they had any. Dude said they had a bunch and asked if I wanted black or silver but not blue since it sold out quicker.

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] LinS123:
Then I'm not sure. I was at Bestbuy 30 minutes ago and they didn't have any notes for outright sale. For contract and HUPs they said.

The Samsung trade in deal applied for pre-orders as long as you brought in a device when you went to pick up in store. Everyone who ordered online got screwed out of the deal.

Still waiting for someone to actually try flashing https://idlekernel.com/twrp/graceqlte/twrp-3.0.2-0-b1-graceqlte.tar.md5 and take a screenshot of Odin flashing complete to prove the bootloader unlock!

Go to developer options (7 taps on build # in about device to enable) and then check OEM unlock before starting!

Be sure to try with Odin 3.11.1 or newer: https://idlekernel.com/flash-tools/Odin_3.11.1.zip

Please keep in mind that Samsung has not yet released kernel sources, so that TWRP image will not be fully functional. To revert to the stock recovery, simply boot up your system. If the device is unlocked bootloader, it will trip Knox warranty bit on the first boot into TWRP. If it is locked, you will not trip the Knox warranty bit and the flash will fail in Odin.

I need to know if this thing is locked or not so i can take it back if needed. I can't beleive no one has checked yet....lots of people got their phones yesterday and no one wants to find out if we are locked or not?

---------- Post added at 03:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:48 PM ----------

Well technically i did reserve and they can see that in the system and i have emails to prove. Not my problem if rogers can't send a single device to the store i reserved at and why should I have to wait?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] note3or2:
Good point.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Devhux:
Yes! I didn't reserve mine and mine came with the 64GB card too! I don't get to redeem for the Gear Fit 2 or Level Box Pro however, as that was only for pre-orders ending on August 18th.

Now to decide whether to put my existing 128GB card into my new S2 tablet or put the 64GB in there.

As for the phone itself, it seems VERY responsive! Definitely seems better than the S7 I was using before.

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] asd313asd:
They don't know what they are talking about. What i quoted is directly from their terms of sale.

Please do more research from the site you actually purchase from. The purchase is from shop.samsung.com which runs VIA Tech Data Canada. They are the ones that process the refund.

And to go a step further here is a transcript from a chat i just had.

: Hey if i wanted to return my note 7 i ordered online how would i go about doing that?

Catherine: I understand that you are looking to know the return policy of the device.

Catherine: I will be glad to assist you.

Shmuel: Thanks

Catherine: Allow me few minutes.

: Sounds good

Catherine: Thank you

Catherine: Here is the policy.

Catherine: 1 - You can refuse shipment of the Samsung Phone by not signing for it at time of delivery and a credit will be issued to you equal to the amount of the purchase price of the Samsung Phone plus taxes. Please allow for 3 to 4 business days for your credit to be issued. You will receive an e-mail confirmation of when the credit has been applied to your account.

Catherine: 2 - Once you have received your order, you can exercise your buyer’s remorse rights and return the Samsung Phone within 15 calendar of date of receipt in its original condition and with its original packaging, including all accompanied accessories. You will be responsible for the payment of the shipping fee. The Samsung Phone cannot have more than 30 minutes of usage to be eligible for buyer’s remorse. To start this process, you need to call Samsung Service Department at 1-855-254-4747.

So again please dont post if you dont know whats going on. Im sure everyone in the forum would like correct information in here.

Crap. I've already started falling in love with the phone. I still can return it to Wind. But then I'd have to wait for the Exynos to arrive by mail and return to my semi-broken Nexus 4. Decisions , decisions...
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcadduono:
WELL WTF.

I made them confirm multiple times over the phone with absolute certainty that the bootloader was unlocked, and every time they said it was not bootloader locked like the US models. I even mentioned that I'd be be sending it back if it was.

Does it say flash fail when using the official signed recovery image? Try this: https://idlekernel.com/flash-tools/...W8VLU1APH1/AP_N930W8VLU1APH1_RECOVERY.tar.md5

If that also fails then perhaps it's a download mode protocol issue and need some kind of fixed Odin.

I feel like I've betrayed you guys, really sorry. I thought Samsung would be a bit more truthful, especially after 30 minutes on hold.

If this is really locked, I don't even know if I'll be going for the Exynos variant after such a bad experience with a company.
