It has blown up into such an issue that Samsung's reaction to it has been to set up exchange booths in some Australian airports, where staff can issue an acceptable loaner and also help with some data transfer.
Talked to the Samsung bloke at XXX this arvo. Almost apologetic, he/Samsung are doing a swap to a new S7 Edge, with data swap as well (using Smartswitch), on the spot. I felt sorry for him.
