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:)

In an Article just posted on Android Authority, Corning responds to the GG5 scratching video that was posted here previously on the Note 7. Their explanation of the test conducted is that what occured is transference and not scratches. The GG5 is rated the same as any glass at 5 to 6 hardness. Using a softer metal pick ( I believe it showed scratching at 3 ) would cause the softer metal to transfer to the harder glass. Either way, removing the transfered softer metal is just as easy as removing a scratch. ????
The article does not provide any logic and seems to try to saturate their response with science, which still doesn't make you feel any better than we did before Corning responded.
I really don't want to use a screen protector, especially with a device using a pen.

I really wish it was consistent with the trade in, I have a mint older BlackBerry Bold I would trade but it's not on the "List". IF the store looks I'm pooched if they don't I'm good, $200 gamble is not fun.

I tried the store I'm picking my Note up from and was told "any device should work" ... I'm holding her to that! lol When you go in, let them know a friend got the promo trade up/in on an older model.

Alright, when they call me to tell me the phone arrived I'll ask them. Unfortunately if I can't get that trade in promo I'm gonna go for a S7E, which is a great phone but really I want the Note 7.

Hoping someone can clarify something for me. I reserved Note 7 through Rogers reservation system. It's been shipped to store location, so probably will get it later this afternoon. But I'm just not clear on the promotion. I would like the Gear Fit 2 but saw no mention of it when I reserved my device online. Is the Gear Fit 2 only available for those who are trading in a phone? And is that something I do through Rogers to get the Gear Fit 2 or do I need to go through Samsung Canada to get it sent to me? Thanks in advance for anyone who can clarify this for me. Cheers, enjoy your new devices everyone!

As long as it was pre-ordered during the qualifying dates you qualify, I know it's hard when there's 82 pages but it was posted a few pages back, here's the website: http://mobilepromos.ca/
Maybe @Meowmix can add that link to the first post?

The shipping notice emails used to contain the tracking information. I didn't get it this time. Did anyone else get tracking info this time ?

Nope, I called the store and they said that they will call me when it's in, I asked when they usually get their shipments, he said they will call me when it's in :S
I also asked him (Rogers in Stouffville, ON) and he said had to be a device that's on the list, no broken screen and powers on.

Hello @poetic1743
Itsnot Rogers fault. It's in the hands of UPS. UPS has until 6pm to deliver.
Alright:D
As promised. First hand photo.
Got it at 11am. But something I don't like. Is it a normal practice of Rogers?
The staff said she has to open the box in front of me and make sure the device is working.
And she skip all those prompts for setting the phone like time zone and stuff, I hated it so much.
Cuz it won't prompt me everything again, so after I leave, I reset it to factory settings. Other than that, it's a very nice device and it's smaller than expected when compare with my Note 4.
