Hey everyone!!
Once again its the time of the year that Samsung announces their new Note line up. I am happy to announce that Samsung this afternoon announced the Samsung Galaxy Note 7!. The device seem to have amazing specs! Including memory SD card slot, water resistant and most of all, curved screens on both side for the Note Series and Iris scanner!
1). Once Rogers has announce when they will add the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 to the reservation list & the day comes, sign into your My Rogers account - Product & Services – Wireless & you will see a Red wording saying “Device Reservation" on the main page. Click that & it will take you to the page. Once there you will need to pick which device you want; Samsung Note 7 Black and what other colors they may release it on. You also need to pick the store you want it to go too. Just to make it clear, reservations are for current Rogers wireless customers which have contracts with them. Rogers will put up the Pre order list for people that want to pre order the phone which have no wireless accounts with Rogers. Also just too add below is the meaning of the statues .
- If your status is "OPEN", your reservation has been made and we are awaiting product from our supplier. At this time you can change your pick-up location, contact email address or cancel your reservation.
- If your status is "CANCELLED", your reservation has been cancelled and your reservation fee will be credited back to your account.
- If your status is "IN PROGRESS", we have begun the shipment process and you will not be able to edit or cancel your reservation any longer. The next email you will get will be the one that confirms shipment to the store you chose.
- If your status is "SHIPPED", your device has left our warehouse and is on its way to the store you chose. Keep in mind that you can NOT reserve a device via calling them. It can ONLY happen if the reservation system is down but they will to reserve it via online. Plus if you reserve it via phone, you will NOT see your status or know what number you are VS reserving it online.
2). Please keep in mind that if you pick a Rogers Authorized dealership, you may not be able to get the device soon after it ships. This has been the main issue with all the iPhone reservations & most of the other devices which have been on the reservation system. I would suggest you pick a Local Rogers store (Corporate Rogers store or Rogers Plus) to go to get it. When the Rogers warehouse sends it out, the Rogers stores will get them first. Some of the Rogers Authorized dealers have their own warehouse in which the devices will go to. After that there is no tracking until the device ships from that warehouse & goes to the store & they call you. You can also look for your FlexTab aka upgrade fee online via My Rogers or contact Rogers & they will let you know.
3). Also remember you are going to have to put down a $40 fee to reserve the device. Once it ships out, the $40 fee will be reversed back into your account. IF you want to cancel your reservation, that $40 will also be credit back to you. So either way you will get that $40 back. Also remember you may NOT be the first to get the phone if you have a high number or a low one. The Reservation system is made to have a device reserved for you as the stores will be sold out. If your reservation status still says “ OPEN” after launch & a store has a device in stock, you can still go in the store & get it. Then come back home & cancel the reservation online. If the status is “ IN PROGRESS” & you get a device via a store that have one for u, you have to wait until it ships out & then tell the store that u picked u do not want it. Do reemember the reservation number is CANADA - WIDE. This means if lets say you are #45 in line for the black one, you are #45 for that GB , color & model Canada wide. Also keep in mine you have to be the account holder in order to pick up the device at the store. No one else can. You can try adding a family member as Level on the account but some stores will decline it.
For frequently asked questions about the Rogers Reservation System, please click here Rogers Reservation FAQ
4) .For Corporate / Business customers. You guys will have a different line then regular customers do. This means you guys have a few different statutes then regular customers do. Also keep in mind for the past few years there has been issues / confusen about business customers getting the phones via the reservation. You guys will be getting them the day of launch or after depending on your status & what goes on.
Let's make this thread the only thread for the devices please and if you guys have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me and I'll gladly be able to help:)

I was told the phones made in Aug 31 from China are safe and use the ATL battery. No way to really know unless we open it. The black box is the key. The green battery indicator will be a software update for new phones.
I just got mine today and it had the black box on the label and manufacturing date of Aug 31, 2016. My old Note 7 was manufactured on Aug 2, 2016 but I wonder if that has a ATL or SDI battery because I read a lot not all phones manufactured in China used the ATL battery anyways. The fact that your new Note 7 did not have the black box is worrying but when was your new phone made @wpd1?

I was only told Aug 31. I think everyone who has a Aug 31 has the black box on their label. Can others confirm? @Meowmix heard made in last week so you could be find but the fact you don't have a black box to me is what makes your situation puzzling....I would seriously return yours @wpd1 if they can't answer you about the label.

Regarding your battery pack I heard Samsung shifted production to ATL. I am sure they wont screw up on this one and release SDI battery packs but you might want to make sure.

@Meowmix that is what I am guessing. Also it looks to me like Samsung suspected a battery issue before Aug 31 when they suspended sales I think they were scrambling on how to deal with it PR wise when they offical recalled Sep 2.

Hello @phonefan
I guess that is why it took this long to get? It was always on Pre order status with Crackberry and they never got told why it was never sent to them or anything.. Just got the email tracking for it today.. So maybe this one will be with the new battery too.
I think we can assure we won't get any refurbish phone from Samsung as the Health Canada has a strict rules about it:
http://healthycanadians.gc.ca/recall-alert-rappel-avis/hc-sc/2016/60168r-eng.php
"Please note that the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act prohibits recalled products from being redistributed, sold or even given away in Canada."

Good find @germain18_2006.
If they screw this up again after the government regulatories get involved they will face even more scrunity but what I don't understand is how @wpd1 didn't receive a box with a label with the black box...

Hello @germain18_2006
We were talking about the battery backpack lol. That I do know. So that means the ones we got our new and safe as per the date August 31st.
Unfortunately I didn't even heard anything of Fedex. Is it because mine is Blue?

All of this is speculation at best. It's odd ( not impossible ) that everyone would have a phone dated 31 Aug unless this was the "remanufacturing" date, which makes sense since the original manfacturing date of my phone is 29 Aug according to Samsung's system, but now shows 31 Aug on my phone ( using the number from @Meowmix ). Again, all could be ok but why risk it ?
Samsung has not provided anything definitive to assess safety and if the black square on the label is it, I don't have one which makes my phone a dud. If everyone else has a black box, it at least provides you some assurance, although you may be using a manufacturer refurbished device and if you're ok paying $ 1049 for that, your choice of course. Naturally, there's no definitive word from Samsung what that black square actually means.

Hello @germain18_2006
Funny part I didn't get a email from FedEx about mine being shipped out either. Found a sticky note on my door asking me to pick it up. My gf last night got a email though. Some of us never got a email with the tracking number it seems. Maybe but we shall see.
OMG. May be I need to sit in front of my front door and wait for it every afternoon...LOL...:(

To be clear, Health Canada will not allow the defective devices that reached market in Canada to be repaired and resold as new in Canada.
If Samsung had defective devices in China and refurbished them with new batteries, they could be sent into Canada as new devices ( different imei's ).
