Yes, which is sad.. Especially as this is only based on what the thing LOOKS
like. It looks liek a phone, so it's banned. However the guy sitting next to
you may have a PDA or laptop that keeps transmitting bluetooth and wifi and
perhaps even mobile GSM!! But it doesn't look like a phone.........
So: Even with flight mode, you will be playing games in the lavatories only..
