  • Massive Samsung Phone Recall

    To think was just checking this week when my contract was up and eligible for a new phone.

    Samsung's new flagship smartphone, the Galaxy Note 7, has malfunctioned spectacularly β€”Β and it will cost the South Korean company a whole lot of money.

      I bet Samsung doesn't even make the battery that is blowing up, but there is always the possibility that the phone is shorting out
      the batteries, there should be protection circuits for that. Anyway you look at it, it sucks for samsung

          Maybe other than car recalls, I can't remember a bigger consumer disaster.

          The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) said Friday that owners of the Samsung Galaxy Note7 smartphone should stop using the devices. The warning follows reports of the phone exploding whil...

            Samsung makes more phones than anyone , I doubt they made the battery but many phones go on fire its due to the lipo or life batteries they use . if the chemicals inside contact the air they burst into flames . I use these batteries in my RC helicoptors big ones . google lipo fires , phones do this too I had one years ago that went up in flames in my car while driving and charging it lol . I had to run out of the car. having said that its sad this happened to them there phones are much better than apple and cheaper . apple is a rip off but I own one anyway .

                And none are carried by Best Buy or any store you bought your phone from. Always have to order from Amazon.

                Sorry I wasn't clear. What I meant is the Best Buy stores, at least in New York, don't stock cell phone batteries. You need to order online.

                Interestingly, Best Buy also doesn't stock "official" Samsung phone chargers. Only place that carries official chargers is B&H Photo downtown.

                  I've bought a lot of "stuff" from them in the last 25 years. Mostly camera equipment, photo printers, tripods, bodies and lenses. Never bought any PA equipment or computer stuff.
