Earlier quoted context omitted.

It’s the same thing in Europe, Lufthansa, Easyjet, …

I did not hear it on my last four flights across Europe with Lufthansa last week.

Hm … I flew pretty much exactly two weeks ago in a couple Airbus A320 every damn airline seems to use to fly across Europe (I flew e.g. Amsterdam to Frankfurt). I wonder if that’s a recent change (to no longer mention the Note) or they just say it on certain flights (which to me would make little sense).

These phones should be returned immediately by the company before someone inadvertently is dead because think of the senario where someone is driving with this phone in the drivers pocket & catches fire........ all OK if the car isn't doing 70 along a motorway otherwise - danger of a collision.... it has happened in the past re wasps & bees distracting the drivers attention which is a very serious matter. Any spontaneous combustion of anything must be resolved forthwith. So Are these phones being recalled ?
