fake batteries overheating and destroying phones is certainly a fact; it happens. That's why oem's hate aftermarket batteries and often won't warranty the phone with them in it.
Yeah the story probably is a hoax in this instance, but I have heard from a few reliable sources of phones "exploding" (heating up and plastic melting) due to dodgy batts. I have also heard of phones bought from a store new with an aftermarket battery supplied instead of the original. I know of a few retailers myself who I wouldn't put it past them to do such a thing.
However not all aftermarket batteries are dodgy, most are probably perfectly ok. I doubt I'd use one myself though....

I find this very hard to believe, as this most certainly would have come to my attention, and I have yet to see anything about it on my desk. The first phones produced are never released and you can identify from the back label, if it's a phone manufactured for commercial sale it will say "type yadayadaydada", if not it says "Prototype" and/or "Not type approved".
If this did indeed happen as you said, please e-mail me the IMEI number of the faulty-phone as i would like to look into it further.

I hope this
guy looks at the thread where we are changing the color of the w800i
then those colorful w800i's might become real
nice thought.... I hope he also looks at the posts complaining about prices being too high and peepz wanting more competitive pricing....and considers those sentiments before the next Pxxx release

If it were true, and you werent an idiot. You'd refuse all the freebies, and take it to court, and take their settlement of 10,000 or more.

I once had a T200, I had it in my pocket and I went to swim like for 2 hours. Later I realize that I had my phone in my pocket!!!
But the phone never exploded or electrocute me! How can the K750 exploded while she was listening music!!!!????

water doesn't cause phones to blow up. It'll just short curcuit the pcb and the phone will shutdown - if you let it dry before trying to turn it on it will often be okay.
Faulty batteries tho' can cause severe overheating (from being overcharged, or in some cases when in use the faulty battery can generate a lot of heat due to internal faults) which can damage circuitry or melt plastic and components from the heat that is generated.
It doesn't actually "blow up" as such
