Poll results: once you have a Note 7, it's hard to let go

The Galaxy Note 7 went from being among the best devices of 2016 to being the punchline of an overused joke. Even after recalling the first batch and supposedly fixing a defective battery issue, Samsung couldn't fully solve the problem with spontaneous combustions, as units that have been deemed “safe” are now blowing up left and right.

After suspending sales for a while to investigate the issue, the company has now announced that Note 7 production has been canceled. Samsung's partners have been asked to stop selling the devices and customers that own one of the hot phablets are implored to power their device off and exchange it for another Galaxy as soon as possible (or get a full refund).

Seeing how many owners refused to send their unit back when the first recall was going on, we wondered — how many of you want to / would hold on to their Note 7s now? Here's how the voters answered!

Will / would you return your Note 7?
