Aaron unboxes the Nokia Lumia 810,
http://youtu.be/ul6_3Nm56XQ
Featuring
- 1.5 GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 CPU
- 4.3-inch OLED WVGA display with ClearBlack technology,
- 8-megapixel camera with 1080p HD recording,
- 1,800 mAh battery, and
- 4G (HSPA+ 42 Mbps), the Lumia 810 is a nice addition to T-Mobile's holiday lineup. The specifications are decent and given the $99 starting price point, the price is right.

I played with one in a T-Mobile store today thanks to a cool rep. I love it! It is lighter than it looks and the screen is pretty good. It is on my short list.

I'm a T-Mobile retail rep and got picked to carry the device for 90 days as my primary.
I'm really digging it runs smooth great camera free music and navigation from Nokia. Oh and best touch keyboard out there.
Now I'm just using my one s for games.

Shame that it's priced so high compared to the 920/820 on AT&T. If I was on TMO I'd feel a little screwed.

Just got mine yesterday and love it so far. Upgraded from an HD2. $50 dollar mail-in rebate already in the mail.

Just upgraded from my HD2 today. At first I was leaning towards the 8x, but compared side by side the pure black screen is superior IMO. I love how you can't see a line between the screen and phone body. Its like the tiles are just floating there ?

I got this phone for my wife Friday & I can't put it down. I have a gs1 running jb. But I think I'm switching. Hopefully tmo has a 920 variant by the time my contract is up. Wp8 is so silky smooth. It blows everything away in my opinion.

It's Free for new customers today with a Classic plan. I'm a current T-Mo customer and was able to get three of them for free today via a call to their Loyalty department. I just said it was pretty silly that they'd offer a free phone to try and get a new customer but they'd let a longstanding current customer walk away because they wouldn't offer them the same deal. 30 seconds of "checking with her manager" and I got them free after a credit. I then tacked on a fourth line for my father-in-law via a T-Mo rep I met on slickdeals . net (he got me the phone for free AND gave me a $100 credit as well).

Is there any reason to think it wouldn't accept a 128GB card? I mean, the technology is identical between the 64 and 128 right? That said, I don't think 128GB cards are due out for at least 6-8 months, if not later.

upgraded from my HD2 (7.8 rom) to the 810 on the 14th. Nice quality phone. Runs fast and smooth.

Has anyone been successful finding any accessories for the 810? Nokia's own site only lists seven. I know this phone is new, but I was able to find plenty of accessories for my HD7 within a week of it's release.

The system might not be able to map more than 52GB of space (64+8). It depends on how the CPU is built. I bolded the "might" as I am not entirely sure this is the case.

Screen protectors and decal stickers on amazon so far. There are one or two specific hip cases, but otherwise the generic stuff. T-Mobile has a dew things but they're overpriced, of course. The 810 accessories wise is interesting so far...the 822 definitely has the full compliment of accessories available already...

Best place to buy Gen 2

Since it seems like everyone is selling the Gen 2 today.
Where is the best place to purchase from. Who offers the best return policy and replacement policy without extra costs?
It's likely I will get a square trade warranty for the long term use, but I'd like to try it for a couple weeks to make sure I want to keep the device. If I don't like it, I want to make sure I can get a full refund (not store credit).

Walmart has them in stock right now (picked mine up this morning), and they have a 15 day, no questions asked return policy.

I don't really care about any of that, it's just 200+ bucks toy.
But if you haven't ordered yours, you are probably looking at another week or 2 before you can actually hold it in your hand

I picked up my 32 GB about 45 minutes ago at Best Buy. Don't know how much stock they have though...

Stock is not going to be an issue. I will find one. Best buy had 20 of them in stock.
Really just wondering who has the best return policy. Probably Walmart. I returned a prepaid phone that I used for 2 weeks with no questions asked.

Keep checking back. Or maybe take the coupon to Walmart or best buy and see if they will honor it. Walmart would probably do it.

Opted for free Prime shipping so I'll be toying with it Monday. Hopefully root functionality will be available in no time

I just got mine today from BestBuy I got the 32gb model. I called the store near me and asked if they had it in stock. The girl held the last one for me till I got to the store :good::good:

I'd love to get it, but I don't need it. seeing as I'm always at home and have a Galaxy S4 and a computer that i built right in my room...

If you want to order a 32 GB from Staples, you can order it from their website and use the coupon code "41178" to get the $30 off. Probably won't get it until next week though, but for $30 it might be worth it.

Note 4 not available from Sprint.

They probably did cause with the specs of the new Note 5 and obvious price drop of the Note 4 who in their right mind would be willing to pay more for the Note 5??
Yes it does have a newer processor, Yes it has one more GB of Ram and a little upgrade on the front facing camera
BUT
Our Notes have Removable battery, a microSD card slot and an IR blasterand a bigger capacity battery.. BAAAMM!!
Is it really an upgrade?? Me doesn't thinks so!!
SO maybe, just maybe it's and strategy so they don't have to drop the price so much on the Note 4.
From today, I consider my Note 4 an Authentic Gem!

So much for my plan of "buy up the Note 4 so it vastly outsells the Note 5 and Samsung gets the hint"!
Interestingly enough, Sprint still offers the Note Edge, which is pretty close if you don't mind the shape and lack of Gear VR support.

Think of it this way. If it's essentially a downgrade, then you should be able to get a premium price for your Note 4. And if you can't get a premium price for your Note 4, then maybe it's not such a downgrade after all.

Just bought a note 4 from best buy 20 mins ago
I looked around for a while and had to drive to a different best buy because most stores dont have them in stock. They even increased the price to 299!! The manager was reduced it to 199 after i complained for a minute.

Hadn't thought of that. If something happened to my Note 4 and it had to be replaced by a Note 5 I would be seriously disappointed. How many times have you felt that way about a product where you would NOT want to replace your older model with a newer one?

Found the reason why the note 4 is not there anymore, just talked to a guy at sprint. He said that Samsung was requiring Sprint to pull the Note 4 and Note edge from stores. The Note Edge is still for sale online, but it probably won't be sold much longer. In other words, the Note 5 and S6 Edge+ are the NEW Note 4 and Note Edge. Also found out all accessories were pulled from sprint too.

I guess they know their "new" product isn't up to par and rather then give their loyal fanbase the device they asked for they are going to force the note 5 down users throat. To the average consumer they won't notice and will likely get it because its in stock but to those with a little know how and the will to put a grade school level puzzle together we will realize whats going on.

Yup. What really sucks is we have great devs now but with the device being unavailable this kinda puts a couple nails in the coffin for the future of dev support. Also what's going to happen now with future software updates from Samsuck and Sprint??

Yep, I am predicting something will happen with the S7/Note 6, but that's quite a wait for now. Seeing as if they pulled any note 4/edge phones, my next phone will either be the G4 or M9. I loved it when they say in their unpacked video "Samsung is listening to the community." They aren't listening at all. It's all just another way to get money.

More like a lesser plan, as they are about to realize. I bought a used one. Samsung didn't get any money and neither did Sprint. No contract renewal, bad will for both companies, etc. Thinking, after decades with Sprint, of moving my service to another carrier - one that actually has coverage.

I'm looking for a Note 4 right now on CL or maybe eBay. I was hoping to upgrade from my Note 3 to the Note 5. Not. No microSD, no removable battery, smaller battery capacity. I actually talked to Sprint CS to ask about getting a Note 4. They said best chance was to check the stores. I guess they can order one, maybe, if the stores don't have any. I, too, am reluctant to give Sprint and Samsung money for a new Note 4. Maybe we'll take all five of us and go to a different carrier. I just hate the idea of giving up unlimited data.

Is the 2nd Recall Official?

So there have been announcement from Samsung related to stopping the production of the Note 7, but I have not seen anything official calling for a recall.
Has the CPSC launched an official recall?
Has Samsung said anything more than that we should stop using the device and return it if we can?
I am holding out for the official recall, as of right now Samsung is not even offering a bill credit for returning the device. The first go around they offered $25. I went to AT&T yesterday and they said they would take the device back, but there would not be another bill credit.
Just curious if there has been an official recall or process for receiving a refund for the device. I figured we could also use this thread as a place to track the options once the recall is made official.

Not official but att and as far as I know all other carriers take it back no questions asked.

They added original and replacement devices to the http://www.samsung.com/us/note7recall/ so I would assume both returns will prompt a 25 credit by the carrier or third party gift card.

from what ATT told me.... that to get the 25 credit, i had to chose another samsung phone to replace my note 7 I had returned, and also I had to eat the 20.00 upgrade fee too, ATT would`t refund that, only the first Next payment I had paid.
From ATT website:
Customers with a recalled Galaxy Note7 may select a Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 edge, or Galaxy S7 active or any other smartphone, and may also return any Note7 accessories. If a customer chooses another Samsung device, he or she will receive a bill credit of $25 per device within 1-2 bill cycles.

Depends on who you get to talk to at AT&T. I got the $20 access charge waived from att for my replacement. This time I'm returning it and using my wife's iPhone 6+ until I get the iPhone 7+ 256gb I ordered. I think it's time for an OS change. I have never used an iPhone before so this will be fun.

I want to hold out but can't help but worry about when or where it will burst into flames…. It's stressful I tell ya.. Lol.

yeah I`m think about getting OP3 again, I had one right before I bought the Note7 and really liked it so that`s probably were I`ll go back too. when ever OP get them back in stock.

I think im just going to keep using my N5. If rumors are true the S8 should be good (if it doesn't explode lol) and they are going to bump up the release date to Feb next year. Ill tell you this much though, its going to have to be amazing and Samsung better offer a deal to those of us that had to deal with this n7 fiasco.

Refund, go back to S6, or take the S7 edge?

Here is my dilmemma. The Note 7 was my very first note and I absolutely love it? But with the nail in the coffin on it by Samsung, I'll reluctantly give it up. I have my S6 still as I bought the Note 7 outright to avoid using my upgrade. So what would you do? Get a refund, go back to the S6 and wait for the Note 8 (if there will be one), or go exchange for the S7 edge.
If I refund or go back to the S6
- I'll miss the AOD
- I'll miss the stylus for writing myself notes will screen off
- People edge
If I go with the S7 Edge
- downgrade to 32 GB (my S6 is 64 gb)
- has been out for a while now, so will be replaced in Feb 2017.
- no loss of Samsung Pay, Gear Fit 2 (same for the S6)
My 256 GB SD is on it's way from the last exchange. What would you do? Please not negative comments. It is what it is with the recall.

I refunded and when back to the Note 4. My opinion the Best Note in the series now that the 7 is dead. 2 year old tech I know but I wanted nothing to do with S7/7Edge or any other device. I have no problem waiting til S8 time

I have to wait until I can talk to sprint because I am in a crappy situation with all of this (I am sure others share the same issue) but I gave my old phone back in, don't have any other sprint phones, and I really think taking the S7 or S7E is a mistake at this point since they will be replaced so soon. The LG V20 looks promising, but I was thinking I'd just pick up a used Note 4 and use that, had a Note 4 with TMO and it was awesome and i could settle for it for now and await the new "S8 S8E" I am sure is to come or longer for the return of the Note line. Maybe we'd see an earlier release of the new Note since this one got botched.
Honestly if they just would "fix" the problem with the Note 7, even if it took until early next year, I'd happily own one again.

Are you forgetting about the Note Edge?

Go back to the S6. S7 is nice, but Note 7 was...way better. It is not worth paying money for the S7 after having the Note 7. Save your cash for now and enjoy your free $250--256gb mircosd card.

Same dilemma, no other option but LG V20 and or Google Pixel XL. I hope Samsung will let us keep our note 7!

As much as I want to keep it, it doesn't make any logical sense. Accessories will disappear, support on here will die, will be no software fixes for anything along with updates, if your phone breaks, can't get a replacement. If you end up having any kind of signal problems you will be auto blamed for your phone. If your phone does catch fire (personally I think any reports post replacement are false hype to kill samsungs hold on the cell market) you are going to be held 100% responsible for any damages.
I still think they are going to get black listed. Don't forget the carriers forced this second recall, not Samsung. If you've paid for a phone they can't really make it inoperable, but they can black list it off their network.

You hit the nail right on its head with your post. I was thinking of keeping my replacement since I've had no issues but concerned more about support. This has been my favorite phone from any device I've owned. However I couldn't purchase a Zerolemon for it because of the issue, (received an email directly), no root support since mine updated out the box, updates and everything else is an issue. Back to my Note 3 I will go with Talk and surf with Moars Rom, exposed and etc.
On another note, (no pun), I went to Best Buy and was checking out S7 Edge. It's a lil smaller but it's does have the option to root, lemon charger cases available, the support and most of the features the Note 7 had..
Has ANYONE went to the S7 Edge and have no regrets?

I just picked up the S7edge earlier today. It is a tad bit smaller but, I don't really notice too much. I stuck an otterbox defender on it so it feels a little bigger now. Speedwise it runs as fast as my note 7 did. Has most of the features of the note 7 except the s pen of course. I like the spen but honestly I didn't use it that often anyways. I think in time Ill get used to it. I got my upgrade back some how in the whole process of all the exchanges Ive done so whenever a new one comes out Ill upgrade again. lol.

Good to know. How was you able to pull off keeping your upgrade. Did they do a refund first THEN the upgrade or "exchanged" first? I think I'm on way to Best Buy tonight after getting this email

Keeping that upgrade is everything. I'm hoping the radio in the 7Edge is much better than my Note 3. I didn't need my Airrave or WIFI calling anymore with the Note 7. Another perk..

I have no idea what they did. The guy at sprint store was having a hard time with my sero plan so he got on the phone with sprint. Ten minutes later he gave me the receipt and I walked out the door with upgrade reset and the s7edge exchange. Will see if they figure it out later but I'm not saying anything. It remains to be seen how good the radio is in this thing. It works about the same for me in all the areas Ive been today. Good luck with your exchange tonight at BB.

I got cha! I'll see how this plays out.

Here is my dilmemma. The Note 7 was my very first note and I absolutely love it? But with the nail in the coffin on it by Samsung, I'll reluctantly give it up. I have my S6 still as I bought the Note 7 outright to avoid using my upgrade. So what would you do? Get a refund, go back to the S6 and wait for the Note 8 (if there will be one), or go exchange for the S7 edge.
If I refund or go back to the S6
- I'll miss the AOD
- I'll miss the stylus for writing myself notes will screen off
- People edge
If I go with the S7 Edge
- downgrade to 32 GB (my S6 is 64 gb)
- has been out for a while now, so will be replaced in Feb 2017.
- no loss of Samsung Pay, Gear Fit 2 (same for the S6)
My 256 GB SD is on it's way from the last exchange. What would you do? Please not negative comments. It is what it is with the recall.

I just exchanged mine today for a S7 edge

Exchanged mine for the S7 Edge. Real happy with it.
Could have gone back to my old phone and gotten my upgrade back, but upgrades are really crap now. They stick you with the $25 subsidized phone charge on the bill, comes out to $600 for the life of the contract.
I'll just buy all my phones outright and stay off contract.

agree, Note 4 was amazing, sadly my zerolemon 10,000mah battery killed it (weight when dropped) and had to revert back to note 2, which is solid also. I'm stuck too. S7E is almost dead. Google phones never live up to hype and well I'll I always said I'd never own an iphone but man...it's almost pushing me that way and my whole house is samsung, all tvs, washer/dryer, 5tablets, 4 cellphones, 5 laptops...lol

How much of a refund did you get? The full regular price for the Note 7?

Naw, I was on Easy Pay option so I just paid the tax on the phone.
Got that full amount back along with Zagg screen protector and Wireless Charging stand refunds

So I would imagine since the Note 7 I have is paid off no contract or lease, I will get the full amount back for my phone

I have to wonder about those folks that bought them from eBay and/or Swappa. Sprint "says", it will take all. So I wonder at what price will they be refunded or credited towards another phone.
