Over the weekend, AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon Wireless all announced that they’d be ceasing sales of the Galaxy Note 7, and would not allow for exchanges to replacement units. Sprint was still looking into the matter, but, as of now, that has changed. The Now Network has officially announced that it is ending sales of replacement Galaxy Note 7 units, following a growing number of reports that replacement Galaxy Note 7 devices are catching fire. In a combined report from The Verge, a Sprint spokesperson has confirmed that sales of the replacement Galaxy Note 7 have ceased, and that current Galaxy Note 7 owners can come into a store and replace their unit with any phone they wish — as previously reported. In the same report, the big box retailer, Best Buy, has also confirmed that it has ceased sales of the Galaxy Note 7 as well: The Galaxy Note 7 appears to be a defective device, replacement or not, and while carriers (and retailers) are doing what’s necessary, Samsung continues to peddle that it is “working diligently” to figure out what the problem is. For now, if you own a Galaxy Note 7, you should return it immediately.
