    Yep. The discontinuation resulted in a prompt drop of something like 8% of their market value, representing quite a few billion dollars.

      I heard they are offering $100 towards a new Samsung phone, or $25 on any other for all the trouble...

          Samsung has now discontinued production of the Note 7 phone

          http://money.cnn.com/2016/10/11/tech...ued/index.html

          Probably the only logical conclusion to come to in this disaster.

            To top it all of, we've started getting calls from people who took their Note 7 travelling overseas and are now UNABLE TO BRING IT BACK WITH THEM ON THE PLANE.

            I understand that really, REALLY sucks but there's nothing <Red Checkmark> can do if you're out of country. I feel bad for the people working Samsung customer service.

              And that crap of "you WILL reduce the price" comes out of those awful advice articles. It doesn't work.
              I worked for a time in a bridal salon. One season, every bride walked in and immediately announced, "I'm not going to buy today." As if the industry, company, staff had no idea what the bridal magazines were printing and changing their approaches accordingly.

              "I guess the pressure's off both of us, then!" was the standard response, and often, a sale was made anyway.

                And the lawsuit you knew was coming...

                https://consumerist.com/2016/10/18/g...nes-for-weeks/

                "A lawsuit, filed in New Jersey district court, claims that owners of recalled Galaxy Note 7 devices suffered 'economic damages' as the result of the prolonged and confusing recall."

                This is gonna be ugly...
