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:)

Hello @Dx9
Yeah i seen it and not so good for me. Now everyone's eye's are on Apple tomorrow for the Apple announcement but again I am pretty sure that nothing exciting will happen lol.
I received a phone call today, a call display shown Roger Wireless, so I picked up fast thought it's about my Note 7 recall.
Then the rep start yapping about we know you just have a new device and hope you like it and lets talk about our plan and some protection plan...I stopped him and said should u be talking about the recall plan of my Note 7 than other things, I asked him if he knows anything about the recall and obviously he's not. Then he paused and told me to wait and talked to the superviser. When he returned, he told me I must take the phone in person to where I got the phone from and do the exchange anytime I want. Then I asked him, are you sure? As far as I know there are no replacement device ready for us to change, then he paused again and talked to the superviser and comes back. And told me the same thing and 100% sure I can start doing any time I want. Then I said can I complaint if I go to the Roger Plus/Store and found that your info is inaccurate and wasted my time. He said ..."Certainly" than hang up.
Besides, Meowmix, Iphone is not doing any good either. It has history of explode as well but did they recall any phones....no..:(

Rogers customer service is pretty atrocious. I once had to point out to a customer rep their own website about a plan when the rep denied that it even existed :/. I am not sure what their training consists of or if most of them are simply part-time workers who know they are not going to make a career out of it so they don't care. However, there are a few who really do care about doing a good job which is my experience today with the live chat rep.
Rogers should have a team in place for such situations if they do not already because customers appreciate a proactive approach. I know they might be waiting for Samsung Canada to officially give them direction but they should at least communicate to their customers better about the situation and provide updates. Right now it looks like customers have to dig for information. Samsung Canada better step it up too because they are days late compared to their counterparts. Heck, Samsung Singapore has an entire FAQ up: http://www.samsung.com/sg/note7exchange/ But I give Samsung credit for taking the financial hit for this debacle but you would think that they would be able to isolate the manufacturing batches that have the defective battery instead of doing a mass recall or is the defect much more prevalent than what they announced....
@Meowmix and @Dx9 gotta agree with the V20 sentiment. Great multimedia phone but Note 7 is clearly the better all around phone. Would have seriously consider it if they gave a 4000 mAh battery and up the megapixel for the rear wide angle lens. V20 still a multimedia beast though with a removable battery design (take notice Samsung who cares about glass back seriously) and this battery debacle will shift some if not a lot of the market. For me don't care about the IPhone 7, itunes and IOS kill it for me even though the hardware is pretty good.

Agreed @dale2 but I wasn't comparing Apple's hardware to Samsung. Rather I was making a comment about the general perspective of Apple's hardware. Ultimately performance is determined by how efficiently the hardware is applied to the software you are running and Apple is leaders in that category (although part of that has to do with their tightly controlled environment). Also, Apple is still seen as hardware innovators even though their processor does not clock faster than other brands or they don't stuff their phones with RAM but seriously performance wise I have seen IPhones dust Android phones but it is comparing apples to oranges.
Crazy enough, I actually like Touchwiz (since the S3) with all its features (other than its current RAM management) and never found the occassional lag too bothersome.

Perfect. Registered my swap this morning. This is the right way to do it. Preferred not having to go through Roger's plus it's a lot of mess on their end

I'm glad Samsung had implement this method as expected so the recall become seamlessly. Samsung you'd win us back. I agreed, won't go through Roger Plus or Retails unless you don't want to see your phone..lol

Hello @germain18_2006
Exactly and yes while it took them a couple of days to get this rolling, this seems the best way to do it!
It's better to delay than not doing it right the first time.
Now Samsung had win me back big time 😄
