but still
ever heard of that happening to a
phone with replacement battery?

If you fit dodgy exploding batteries to one, yes. In fact, if you fit dodgy third-party exploding batteries to *anything*, it'll explode.
My point is, if the battery wasn't made by Nokia, you can't blame Nokia for an exploding battery.

ah but i can blame nokia for making Flammable phones..
and also...
packing C4 into a battery would be a bit dumb
but fun...

Fact is fact. So fact says. :es: has been making blasting chargers...

Any brand can fit the description!While exploding batts. are usually unstable 3th party cheap crap,malfunctioning original charger is obvious straight blame for original manufacturer... I had a phone panasonic longtime ago, the charger blew up from inside one day as i stuck into a powersocket.Luckely i wasn't injured! But so you know, it can be any brand.(The bizar thing is, most men/me2 usually have the phone in oure pants pocket, right next to your.... :D)

I can't believe I'm trying to knock SE here (I *am* still a SE fan, just one who now owns a Nokia!), but didn't SE just recently recall a load of chargers, because they can catch fire or something?

(but don't get me started on putting links to some of the 15-20 threads created on THAT subject here
