Upgrade

This was Samsung's mess.  No carrier is willing to bend over for them.  You have to pay off the phone if you want to take advantage of the trade in offer from Samsung

Somehow everyone wants the new Samsung phone and even though it's Samsung's mess, people want another Samsung!  

And on top of that they want to blame AT&T?

Isn't Samsung offering $425 off to folks who bought the note 7?

You'd have to pay off your phone and give it to Samsung, but they're going to give you $425 off. Seems like that $425 would cover half the phone...

Yes but most folks went with the 30 month next plan so they still owe a ton on there phones.  Why people didnt do the next every year plan is beyond me.  Yeah they would not get the note 8 when its released but they would get it in a few months.

Ugh! 

I think companies should go to an 18 month cycle. Get a lot more diehard's who will jump in every 18 months. Put everyone else on 3 year plans to reduce the costs and pretty much ensure they'll upgrade (since most won't wait 4.5 years, right?). Plus it'd give the companies a little more time to develop new models (but add new colors after 9 months).
