I've already has a word with Samsung and have an S7 Edge replacement coming on Thursday. They will be refunding the difference. You can choose a full refund. They are also now considering what to do for people who bought accessories.

I'm not sure I can remember the last time I put an SD card in a phone. Even when it had a slot!
I'm happy operating mainly from the cloud, hence I quite like the idea of free full sized storage. I understand it's only from the Pixel, which is a shame, but fair I guess.
As has been said, I've never felt the need for waterproof either. The main thing I will miss is wireless charging, but I do like the ease of USB Type-C, so that softens is a little bit.

Spoke to Samsung UK again... no deals or anything offered to customers. Options are to return for a full refund or get another phone and they will refund the different (ie S7 Edge on their website for £639 so I would get £100 back).
I also asked about the accessories I had bought and they said that if they were bought from Samsung then they could be returned for a refund but for anything the senior people are discussing how to handle it.

My word what fantastic service from EE.
Dad's Note 7 is getting exchanged for an iPhone 7+ 128GB
Wife's Note 7 exchanged for a Pixel XL 128GB when it launches. S7E in the meantime as a loaner.
Exchange goes down tomorrow.
Superb!

You must live in a built up, well infra-structured area many of us don't and spend lots of time in the countryside where cloud storage is totally useless.
I also don't get how the full sized storage is even a thing tbh, Flickr offer 1tb of free space for full sized photo's / videos with direct and automatic upload and I can do that from the absolutely cheapest of phones. If you fill 1tb from your phone then there's something wrong with you.
Are you taking the Edge?
My case supplier will only give a refund if it is within 14 days of purchase or not been used. So waiting for Samsung now.
I can see them trying to squirm out of the accessories bought from a 3rd party

I've told Samsung to put a note on my account because I will be claiming the cost for the case etc I bought for the Note 7 from them.

Not possibly, but definitely paid by Google
I can't see any Note owner moving to the Pixel XL. It might have Android 7.1, but that is the only "spec" plus point. Everything else on the Galaxy is better, and appeals to the kind of buyer looking to buy a Note in the first place.
I'd get a pixel xl from the note 7.
Just thinking what I'm going to do.
Spoke to CPW. I was told I could either cancel or exchange for a S7 edge (price of the tarriff would be adjusted). I don't want a S7 edge so I went in store to cancel and the stores still don't have any details on what's happening so I was told to hang on to my Note for the time being until they can sort something out - he said if I wanted to cancel now he could but he'd have to take my phone and it could take days before Vodafone complete the reversal, leaving me phoneless.
Was that a straight swap or are you having to pay the difference?

I guess it's a little different as Google's storage is for anything. I expect Yahoo (they still own Flickr, right?) know that very very few people will use that much, so it's fairly safe to offer it.
Cloud storage as a whole for anything, 1TB is quite valuable. Not having 300GB (my current digital album) of photos counting against it would be handy. (Yes, it's only whats taken on the phone, so not that much, but 4K video could quickly add up I guess)
No extra charges.
Very good of them. Hopefully CPW do something similar, I doubt it somehow though.
