It looks like it was an actual explosion. Look at the state of the back of the phone.

We have only one authorised dealer of Nokia in whole country and Nokia phones are spread widely. I personally checked so many batteries and found 6 replacebale batteries and filled up form and submitted but WHAT THE HELL . They never responded me. The Nokia manufacturer are SICK. They just didn't do an effort to send me a mail. All of then bought a new battery in place of free replace.
NOKIA SUCKS

@ROSAN: Nokia doesn't respond per email, I also found this strange, as they did ask for an email-address. They will eventually send you the batteries though, even when it sometimes takes (too) long, I've waited nine weeks for mine to arrive  .

No response from Nokia to Watchdog battery claim
Nokia has refused to pass comment after fierce criticism on the latest incident of an exploding battery on a Nokia handset.
The incident was flagged on the BBC’s Watchdog show, which concluded that Nokia offered inadequate support to customers.
Nokia was criticised for not properly warning UK consumers about the faulty BL-5C battery, which is used in over 50 popular Nokia handset including several N-Series handsets such as the N70.
It is not the first time the over-heating problem has occurred on a Nokia device involving batteries. This video published by Mobile in the spring actually captured the moment a device overheated, ready to burst into flames.
With this more recent incident, Nokia has been criticised by Watchdog for not doing enough to alert customers to the potential risk. The manufacturer sent out a notice in August to a number of press sources about the risk of the BL-5C battery overheating. It also put the notice on its website.
Watchdog said that in Japan more effort was made to alert customers of the risk, as each customer was sent a warning text.
The show also criticised Nokia's warning notice itself for being inaccurate.
