Swordmaker, it’s very clear that Shanghai Dan is interested in nothing more than trolling/FUD’ing. He’s obviously not interested in being enlightened. He is content to stay in the camp of those who have a motto of “You’ll have to pry my burned out Galaxy Note 7 from my charred, dead fingers”. Let him live in his chosen world of willful ignorance.
Hi Ayreides. I know that Dan is lying whenever he's posting because his claims are always made up on the spur of the moment, guaranteed false. Several days ago he triumphantly posted to me that "none of the replacement Note 7s already delivered to customers in exchanges had caught fire." But I knew that was a blatant lie because NONE OF THE SAFE Note 7s had yet been shipped to be exchanged, so none could have yet been replaced by new Note 7s!!! In fact, Samsung was still trying to figure out what the problem was as of September 13th to know how to fix the problem!
They were not going to have new Note 7s to be able to exchange until after September 19th, which was yesterday. According to an article in Bloomberg, which also supported my "shipped into channel" figures:
"The company has said about 2.5 million phones shipped before the recall to consumers and carriers. Note 7s with new batteries are due to become available only after Sept. 19. An official at Korean carrier KT Corp. said the number of customers that had gotten refunds on their Note 7s was relatively small so far, without elaborating." — Bloomberg — September 13, 2016
Yet days before they were available from Samsung, Dan was crowing about no exchanged Samsung Note 7s with replaced batteries were catching fire at all, and now he claimed, yesterday, they had already been doing the exchanges before when they wouldn't be available until after September 19th. Amazing.
One more thing, Samsung had self-reported only two fires in South
Korea, but the Korean Product Safety Commission reported 27 in the first week on the market with one injury! Australia banned them from all air flights.
