Why are CNET making so many videos about the Note 7? 10 videos of it in last 4 days.

Bridget Carey needs to be on this show more. She's good eye candy, Cnet update isn't enough

the sad part is Verizon wants us to pay new sales tax on a new device and also new Upgrade fees also....so it's not actually research

Note users will go back to Note 5 because of stylus. Stylus is like mouse on your computer. It's very speedy for multitasking. You can't do this on ordinary phone like Galaxy S7 or iPhone. I switched back to Note5

I have an idea as to why those Note 7s exploded. I think it is due to the double edge design with the S-Pen. That is the only idea I can come up with. I don't think it is the battery, because the S7 Edge would be worse. I have heard of the conspiracy theory of an Apple Employee infiltrating the Samsung factory. However, I highly doubt it. The idea behind that is Samsung is Apple's biggest competitor when it comes to Smartphones. I also heard that Samsung is giving a $100 credit if you exchange the Note 7 for another Samsung device. Does anyone else knows anything about that. If you do, please rely. Thanks!

I will not be shocked if after 10-15 years later a dumb person come and shows a note 7. And try to sell it on ebay for high price. Or after 1-2 years later someone might come and say Samsung is bad as his phone blew up. Hahahaha

the more they talk about it the better, cause it was and still is the best phone out till today nothing out there compares it and guess what I'm using it to make this comment lol im sure Apple is got something to do with this, cause Apple can't come up with any good ideas they either copy Microsoft or Samsung, Apple where is Steve Jobs when you all really need him for a actual good idea.
