Galaxy S3 explosion caused by external power source

Samsung cited a report by fire investigators as saying an external energy source caused one of its Galaxy S III smartphones to catch fire in Ireland last month.

so to sumarise:

first: "my phone just exploded all of a sudden!"
then: "might have been the sun and the car charger"
finally: "i dropped it in the loo and dried it in the microwave"

I can see all the retail packaging in the USA now getting a big red warning sticker, DO NOT MICROWAVE.

Well you have to give it to Samsung for getting this resolved. They gave the guy a new phone and they published their findings on it.
Apple had similar things happen on the iphone4. What did they do? bugger all, they didnt even replace the phone.
