New 'exploding iPhone' incident

A French security guard said he received a faceful of glass when the screen of his iPhone exploded, the second such reported incident in France.

They're definitely paying the security guards too much.

on a similiar note. one of our clients left his phone on charge at our office over the weekend and on monday he came in to get it and the battery was swollen, i take it that was not supposed to happen?

i am not sure what phone he has.

What is it with the French and iPhones/iPods? Was it not the French who got legislation passed to limit the maximum output volume on iPods?

This article got it wrong

popular smartphone device

Its not a smartphone, it can't even multi-task
Its a fashion phone like the Nokia 7xxx and 8xxx range.

Bouhadi, who says he was hit in the eye with a glass shard, said he was "very angry" and planned to consult a doctor and file suit for damages.

I dont know abot everyone else but when I get hit in the eye with a shard of glass I dont plan to go to a Dr - I go to a Dr.

Don't know what these french people are doing with their phones but its definitely not working for them.

Well this seems like the best time for me to get a new 3GS, time to let my phone "explode", where's a brick
