Now we pay $500-$600 and rejoice at the 'great deal'.

If you are with Verizon, they still have the 2 year upgrade plan. That is how I got my Note 7 for $350. They don't advertise it, so you have to ask. My sister got hers from Sam's and I got mine from Costco. Same price at both, but got a portable battery from Costco. The Square Trade insurance is $15 cheaper at Costco with $10 lower deductible, too.

No issues at all and the battery lasts me 3 days standby. It could be longer, but I didn't want to have a dead phone. Charging from dead only takes 90 minutes with the Samsung charger.
