Another exploding cell phone incident, reported this time in Hong Kong.
South China Morning Post, a Hong-Kong based daily, reported Sunday that a Nokia handset exploded and injured a man, according to Telecom's Korea.
"According to the report, the victim took his mobile phone out of his pocket after he felt heating. and the handset went off a few seconds later. The man had his hand burnt and got first aid by an emergency service worker at the site, the paper said.
As he told the police that he had bought his battery for about a half the normal price in the street, an inferior battery is presumed to be the main culprit."

I work in a computer recovery company and I've seen loads of circuit boards that the chips just fried by themselves. It's usualy caused by a spike or the chip just fails. This can cause them to burn out and even catch on fire.

Now that I think about it, I remember a former colleague of mine's 3330 also started fuming once...If it's only the battery, I'm sure we would hear about other brands blowin up! Maybe some phones are just safer than others

Well it's more likely to happen to Nokias, because (at least near me) there are many more places to buy cheap Nokia batteries than
batteries.
