There are several other issues will occure regarding Galaxy S7 series too as it looks similar to Note 7. Airport securities will get training fo recognising the difference between S7 and Note 7.Even Authority will have to deal with fake calls about traveling someone with note7. Samsung has screwed things up for Note 7 users.
          It is dangerous to use the cellphone at gas stations. Similarly Carrying the Note 7 devices will be prohibited in the flight.

Sounds silly, but if I had 1m and gave you $1 its no big cheese now is it, if I had a billion and gave you 1m the same applies, now if I had 170 billion lets say, 1million would not even register as a percentage ( in principle) of the interest, insignifucant. Or could you introduce me to the person who would not accept, more than they could save , in 10 life times, given them in an instant, not to do ...a little job.Industrial espionage being what it is, the timing , an unmatchable phone coming to market, and apple being so aware of sabotages workings, that a youtube video revealed that out of all their close trusted comunity of co workers , one office room particularly had only 4 people who were trusted to go into it, and at the yearly doo, they would insult and belittle the worlds press, making them sit there silently waiting, till their surveilance system confirmed that every person had turned off their comunication capabilities. The press cowed down, and nothing was reported of the scandle, don't want to spill the gravy now do we.
            Well whoever/ however this came about Samsung response is impeccable, and just confirmes they are a right choice of vendor, I for one won't be going anywhere.

                  The title of this article is obviously not indicative of any one instance of the phone. Whether an instance of the phone will or will not explode is dependent on that particular instance of the phone. A phone may or may not explode depending on any number of factors.

                    I believe that these people supporting Samsung and trying to find a reason to rubbish Apple are all Samsung workers, Samsung push their staff to social networks and internet forums to promote their products and create a positive Samsung propaganda....

                            I'm finished with Samsung. Selling explosive phones to their customers is a step too far. And all because they wanted to beat the iPhone to market. Childish behavior.

                                      All the Note 7 marked with the S on the box are the returned units that were stripped individually ,battery replaced ,glued again,baked ,repackaged and sent back to carriers.
