Three injured as Nokia phone bursts in Howrah

HOWRAH: A Nokia mobile phone set burst while it was being charged in a house here today, leaving three persons injured.

Police said, Nilkamal Verma (67) and his two grand children, who were sleeping on a bed, were injured when the set, kept near their cot, burst. The set was put on charging.

In August, Nokia had issued an advisory to its customers to replace their batteries with BL-5C category manufactured by Matsushita Company of Japan between December 2005 and November 2006 as those might explode during charging due to over heating.

Whether this set was of that category could not be immediately ascertained

I wonder nothing used to happen before nokia issued the warning.But after the warning phones started exploding while charging and interestingly they explode usually when there is someone nearby so that he\she\? definitely gets hurt.
Damn these publicity stunts.Maybe they are doing this to extort money from nokia or maybe get a n95 in replacement for their 2 year old 1100.

Dude this is called placebo effect.It isn't there but you fell it is there because you believe it is there.

^yes

before this warning came-that time too i was worried about why the cell is getting heated while charging?

The_Devil_Himself · 19-09-2007, 03:32 PM

Maybe one or two cases of genuine heating but come on this bursting phones is pure sh!t.
