If anyone wants the Note 7 with a 2-year contract (Verizon & Sprint) Best Buy is giving that option

Need to ask collection agency for validity of debt. I believe if they don't respond in 30 days they must remove from your credit report. Also put a dispute with all 3 bureaus.

Nah it's not on there yet. I been checking, haven't seen anything new. I think they said I got til the 31st. I haven't been with TMo for dude who asked. I switched to them, phones get NO reception inside of the buildings on base, so I boxed them up, ported #s to Sprint, sent the phones back, just missed the 14 day window though.

Whats the lastest version out (besides what youre waiting for)
I swear I feel like my Note 4 is 2 or 3 behind on updates. I still got the same old emjois from back when i bought this, everyone else has the newer that are compatible with iphone (just 1 thing i noticed).
I got an update Friday and Im currently on 5.1.1

Just have to wait for some Nexus 5 Nougat ROMs, because we won't get the official update sadly.

Phone came in today.
Same exact size as my 1+2.
Phone is meh so far.
Going to give this stock thing a try... But it's already pissing me off w/ all the pop-ups and notifications.

See thats what i freakin thought. What the hell is up with this .. i check for updates every other week because i know im behind. I get anuodate friday i assumed it was the latest but then when i saw 5.1.1 i knew that couldnt be right
Is there a way to get the latest? or is AT&T just that far behind

OEMs want you to buy the new phone with the newer software. If updated software means a lot to you, go the Nexus route.

Nope, your at the mercy of AT&T and Samsung ( :x ), you might get 6.0.1 a couple months from now and will probably get 7.0 when 8 comes out ( unfortunately i'm serious)
And even that only gets you two years of updates. No Android N on the Nexus 5 nor Nexus 7 2013, two devices that have the hardware to run it, as will be proven by custom roms.

Yeah i get that part of wanting u to buy the latest product (ridiculous but i get it)
THAT important .. no .. but theres no reason why the phone should be that far behind. Dont most apple products all get updates at one point or another. Im still getting updates for my ipad air from 2013.

Yeah I'll be waiting it out for the custom ROMs, or see if there's a sizable price drop in 6P when the new Nexus line drops. Either way, I'm not paying $400+ for phone any time soon.

Yes, but these phone companies don't care, and most people don't care either because many have jump plans and subsidize their phones. Apple controls their software, Android is fragmented, with OEMs controlling when their updates are released, or even released. Google only handles Nexus devices when it comes to updates, that's why they get them first. Some OEMs trickle them out shortly after, like the Moto X but Samsung is notoriously bad/slow with it.

Samsung has been pretty good about updates. I think it's the carriers who are at fault for slow/no updates, which is why you see people from AT&T complaining about lack of updates for certain devices while T-mo has been ok.

You have to have the upgrade available in your contract though. My wifes contract is up on the 11th of September and they told me I had to wait till then. Sprint 1800 number can do the 2 year extension even if your contact isnt up yet.

When buying a phone from best buy can they apply your companies monthly discount?

I read online to join the beta program, then you will automatically get the 1.1 GB download for the official N update. Doing it on my mom's nexus 6 right now. The beta version of N is installing as we speak. I will report back if the official N update pushes through after
