It still seems to be OK to bring Note 7s on airplanes. Not bottles of water, though, that's too dangerous.
You can bring bottles of water onto airplanes...
US carriers halt Samsung Note 7 sales and replacements

Re: US carriers halt Samsung Note 7 sales and replacements
#12I don't know how fatal this will be for Samsung next time they go out and sell phones; but people have got a taste of buying from a company that doesn't have any sales or customer rep centers easily accessible where people can go and complaint. I really hope it doesn't turn out to be fatal for them but I also hope it breaks the Samsung monopoly over Android and let brands like LG, HTC shine.

OLED displays are so good they still sell themselves, and Samsung is the only handset maker that seems to be committed to the technology. I doubt this will change much.
You mean except for 12 or 24 months from now when the OLED iPhone is announced.

Outside of Apple iPhones, dont most people just go to their carrier's retail outlet if they have an issue with their phone?

Not sure if you've been in an airport, but you can buy a bottle of water and bring it on an airplane.

LG has a top competitor out right now in the V20. Removable battery, MIL-spec drop proof, second wide angle rear camera, concert-capable stereo mics with manual controls, a second screen that's actually useful (it's located in what would otherwise be dead bezel next to the front camera, and shows e.g. notifications while fullscreen, or can be used as a taskbar), usable software (read: close to vanilla Android Nougat…
Wow, the V20 looks amazing. I'll probably sell my iPhone 6+ and my Nexus 6P and get one. Not sure when I can get it in America, unfortunately. Any way to import it from Korea?

#16Why did Note 7's have this problem?
I assume the fault is entirely in the battery (?), so did Samsung change how the batteries were manufactured this year? Does the Note 7 have power demands that mean they can't go back to tried and tested battery manufacture?
(Hoping there are EE's or manufacturing people here that might have some educated guesses)

#17Looks like they've halted production as well: http://ausdroid.net/2016/10/10/psa-samsung-halted-note-7-pro...
I am guessing that the culprit here is Samsung's shift to directly compete with iPhone 7. All other Note releases were standalone and received very little announcements.

You can bring it on the Ola E if you bought it in the airport. So you can't take a bottle of water through security check, but you can take a note 7.

According to /r/lgv20 T-Mobile and Sprint are getting it in Oct. Not sure about the import part sorry, I live in Seoul these days :)

Yeah, and it costs 10x as much as in a regular super market, despite being the same water.
I really, really dislike flying. Not because of the flying itself, but because of being treated like a potential terrorist all the time.
