Yes.... that's how I view it. I called a few stores local to me and I got a bunch of different answers, but the ones that appeared to have a clue sort of gave me the impression that they had the phones, but they weren't allowed to release them until tomorrow, and even then they will only be given to customers with Note 7s in hand... if you returned your Note, you are going to have to wait in the back of the line until they go on sale again in October.
Why not as soon as they came in the door? I can only assume that was to make sure corporate can give proper guidance to the stores that the units are for replacement only, not new sales.
