WIKIMEDIA COMMONS, USED UNDER A CREATIVE
COMMONS LICENSEThe Samsung Galaxy Note 7.Samsung announced that day it was “temporarily pausing” shipments
of the Galaxy Note 7 to an Australian carrier. But the messages from the
company were still hazy and unclear. Tens or possibly hundreds of
thousands of people were still tapping away on these potentially explosive
devices in their purses and pockets. But evidently the honor of the
Samsung corporation came first.
“Samsung is confident in the replacement Note 7 and says they have no
reason to believe it’s not safe,” the Australian carrier that paused
shipments, Telstra, said in an internal memo.
