Samsung Galaxy Note 7 (previously Note 6)

[KSINGH]

Damn I'm so excited. I'm on an S4 for about four years so you can imagine why!

 

[KSINGH]

For sure

Vodacom may get exclusivity on a colour for a month or so but they won't get device launch exclusivity. All networks launch together on a device of this stature!

hi ,
that might be so .,as with the Galaxy S range etc .!
However, i have found/personal experience,
that that is not always the case with Note range .!
That said ,however I can "vaguely" remember once,
when MTN managed to pip Vodacom to this.!
I have nearly all Notes( 2,3,4,and 5 )
I have noticed on Note range, Vodacom normally having sole distribution rights.!
(Usually for a week/maybe 10 days ) and yes, you right about colour issue !
This was also case with Note 5 ,that only Vodacom had distribution for, a week or so .
Yes ,other networks will have adverts etc
and pre orders and make promises .
When it comes to actually distribution (re Note range )
their reply, is some excuse ...."..Sorry ..this or that etc "
Anycase,
i don't want to argue case ,as i have personal experience regarding this issue .
Also been told many times by Vodacom management ( not sales persons etc )
re: sole distribution rights etc .
Your experience might be different .?
I accept that .!
Good luck and thanks for input.

HI ,
Further info: re Note 7 from this website
Read halfway down web page , never heard of this website before ,anyway

http://gearburn.com/2016/08/samsung-galaxy-note-7-south-africa/

also confirms 1 September 2016 as South Africa launch date .
What interesting it claims ..i quote from gearburn.com article........................
..........................................................................................................
"South African details

The #GalaxyNote7 will be available in blue, gold and black in SA initially.

— gearburn (@gearburn) August 2, 2016

Samsung Mobile South Africa confirmed that the phone would be available in the country from 1 September (the first markets get the phone on 19 August), but didn’t give any pricing details. It did however reveal that people who preorder the Note 7 will receive a “Starter Pack”, featuring two screen protectors, the new Gear VR headset, a “fast charging wireless stand” and phone case."

1.
New Gear VR headset ?
...that would be most well come as i paid R1700 for my Gear Vr headset
a month back( to work with my Note5) and now its basically useless (C port )
Now my question is if this is true ,i pre order with Vodacom will i get this bundle VR etc ..??

Further this article states Samsung wants to bring Samsung Pay next year first quarter to South Africa .??

hi ,
Yes , the Galaxy S range and Note range is different, in this regard .
Last year, with the Note range it was only released in S.A ,a month or 2 or 3 ? after international launch !!
That's when Samsung played "hardball " and did not want to release the Note 5, in the UK and eventually did not .
Normally ,the Note range is released in SA ,around October .
So we are actually lucky.(this year )
Samsung launch should be a Thursday night ( Cape town ..? ) 1 September .?
Then on September 2 , the Note should be in the Vodashops .
Reason is ,
i believe is that Samsung wants to have a "jump start " on sales on Apple this year ?
Apparently ,Iphone 7 is to be launched on the 9 th September 2016.
Above is how i read the current situation (..who knows i might be wrong . ?)
Bottom line ,
For Samsung ,its all about the " money /sales/profit "
Good luck
