is there anything he can do? it was a company fone and there replacing it with a 6230 so i dunno if its worth doing anything else about it

Good that he gets a 6230 :-)

Nice. How did this happen? Was the phone being charged? We might as well call it explokia now. 6230 in my opinion is good replacement.

@dis huh?

Even the sim was melted?

IMO the 6210 was/still is a better phone than the 6310..
My first 6210 lasted 4 years before my sonīs dog chewed it up
During that time it never ever malfunctioned once, never got a FW update *those were the days when phones worked as they were supposed to on delivery*
Always lasted at least six days on a charge.
So, if you donīt need BT in 6310i, go for a 6210 instead and save some money in the process.

ye he had a 6210 but it kept stuffing up in the car kit... so his work replaced it with a 6310... hes gone thrue 3 6310's becouse of the same problem with the car kit... hopefully the new connections will be more reliable
i dont know if the fone was charging but i have the pics ill post them soon

Hmm.. I think I would have replaced the car kit, seems to me that itīs the car kit, not the phone that is causing all this shite?!

Logical thinking.

na it aint the car kit he replaced that once and the fone still did it... and whenever the phone stufs up he uses the spare phone which is a 5110 and that always works fine in the car kit
well anyway heres a pic:

Cant see pic on wap, it must be a generic problem with that particular series.

maybe the sim over heated?

Or perhaps it's another exploding nokia battery. Like the ones we had about a year ago. They then said it was caused by non original 'pirate' batteries. Yet it might as well have been a cover up for a faulty batch as some consumer organisations claimed.Just watch out for them nokias ;-)
