as the the topic says, it really is.................

a malaysian man was asleep and left his mobile phone charging by his bed, three hours later he was woken up by a explosion.......

Quote:

"The explosion scalded my buttocks, while there were burn marks on the mattress and the wall"

Quote:

"At first I was confused about what had exploded, but I realised it was my mobile phone when I saw it was shattered in pieces," he said.

a faulty mobile battery may have been to blame for the incident.

Let this be a lesson, always buy a battery from a reputable shop and always by the same manufacturer as your phone.
Nokia batteries apparently have circutry which stops them exploding when being charged.
Now think about that. Nokia produce batteries which without this circutry, would explode
