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:)

Hey guys
So i am taking this to the Office of the President. Unfortunately the first manager failed to leave any indication if what he told me on a note and gave me the wrong interaction ID number. Ontop of that since Samsung Canada hasn't given any information to the Canadian carriers, they won't do anything.
Second Rogers management is awful. Instead of helping the customers, the second manager refused to do anything because he said Samsung Canada has not given them any word on what to do and only have what they were told from the first recall. He refused to work with me on a solution and said he can't do anything and for me to keep the phone. Are you serious? A manager from the management office telling a customer to keep a dangerous phone? That pushed me to ask for the Office of the President and he said " they will tell you the same and you won't get anything". I am so upset and also angry at this.. I hung up and called back and spoke to a very nice rep which tried to do something but unfortunately couldn't because i asked for the office of the President and they will take care of it. I asked to get a iPhone 7 Plus and not pay $699 for it and only to be told by that manager ( second one) it won't happen just because of the issues.
So i am fed up. 2.5 hours trying to get something done and the only one wanting to help was the last rep which couldn't. I'll be speaking to the office of the President and Hopefully they can keep me as a customer and do the right thing and exchange it for me without any issues.
All I asked is to exchange this with a iPhone 7 Plus and not pay the difference because of the issues. First manager told me I could but never wrote it down and give me the wrong ID. Second manager failed to even help and told me to keep them phone and putting my family at risk. The only one that cared was the past rep but couldn't do much.
What a company eh?...

Well, I have powered off my Note 7 and moved my SIM back to my Note 5...
No news sources seem to link to the orriginal press release, so for those who want to know they are getting their information from the horses mouth (I know that's what I was looking for), here you go.
I went over to the Rogers reservation system and put in a reservation for a Pixel XL 128GB to replace my Note 7 (hopefully).
Hopefully Rogers has everything figured out by the time my Pixel XL pre-order is in stock, whether that be to refund the purchase of my Note 7 or exchange for the Pixel XL. Worst case, by the time the new phone is ready, they determine that they still won't be accepting the Note 7 devices and I tell the store I don't want the pre-ordered Pixel XL device (which at this point, I really do, I'm so tired of dealing with Samsung on this).
Hopefully things work out and hopefully there is some actual communication for Canadians and more specifically, Rogers customers by the end of this week.

Can we please cite sources of information? I'd like a link to the Samsung Canada statement. Their twitter feed doesn't have anything and the news page doesn't either...
Thanks!
