      All Note 7 users should NEVER return their phone. They should disable all automatic updates, root their Note 7 and uninstall Samsung's updater services, install a firewall to block all connections to Samsung's and the carriers' servers, and they should change their IMEI.

Whole procedure was stopped, police was called, "funny lad" got escorted and got hefty fine plus airline got him to court over that. Totally not worth it. Silly joke unless youre 6 yrs old.

They could think there are real Note 7s in the plane and that could stress the pilot and ultimately crash the plane. If you think it is farfetched, then remember a long time ago a plane crashed in Saint-Louis (if I remember properly ) and the cause was that the pilots were so stressed about a single light bulb that they forgot the fuel levels. Just one little light bulb, so imagine a boatload of Note 7s. Irresponsible

                    Everyone (especially all airline passengers) should change their mobile WiFi hotspot name and the Bluetooth name of their phone to "Samsung Galaxy Note 7". >:D

Even gsmarena had returned theirs. You think those reviewers who havent return them can still work legally? I dont think so. Even sponsors wont give them phones to be reviewed. The rest sold in ebay are illegal Note7. Ebay office are actively removing the listing selling the Note7 from their website. Even if you pick one up for well under retail price, there’s no guarantee that you, not the original owner, will be able to easily exchange it for a refund or alternative smartphone. There is no guarantee the sold Note7 is rooted or had received the 'death' update. Save yourself the time, hassle, and many bad eBay scams, and go get something else. The one in amazon is not available for sale.

After few minutes, l came to the number of 2,5million sold note7... Meaning its about 100 000 still of them in the wild. I guess that accounts for pretty much every reviewer, collectir etc out there.

                            That's not possible, many reviewers and collectors still keep them, also theres a lot of them on sale ebay, amazon etc, my bets are more like 60-70% maybe.
