Man Killed By Plugged-In Cell Phone

[MikeW]

This kinda scares me cuz i just got a phone from T-Mobile, in the states, and when it charges, is heats up. Not extremely hot, but it is a noticable difference in surface temperature.....


:OT: What deev said about holding an electronic, signal emitting device near your head...anybody seen those new Satellite Radio-Players?? SIRIUS's is The Stilletto. Its shaped and looks like an MP3 player, but the antenna, supposedly, runs out/off of the headphones.

Anyone else concerned by that? Kinda like walking around with a satellite dish coming out of your head...thats eventually gonna cause some damage...

I doubt thats real...it just doesnt seem plausable, some one send it into myth busters and see if they do it

Most phone chargers only put out around 6volts, Even if the charger short circuited and put 240v through the cord, the phone would be damaged and therfore not ring in the first place

i read about this a long time ago it was mainly cheap made batteries that would explode/short out

From snopes...I guess just the link wasn't good enough


# Using cell phones while they are being recharged poses a general and serious danger of electrocution: False.

# Some cell phone batteries can explode and/or start fires: True.

fairly certain all these batteries have been recalled
