Thanksgiving turkey conundrum? The solution: Taobao
A man in a Guangzhou Lenovo store died after the cellphone in his chest pocket exploded. The explosion severed a major artery in his neck and caused massive blood loss, almost immediately killing him. Though the make and model of the mobile phone are still under investigation, a member of the staff said the man had just changed his cellphone battery to a new one. This is the 9th recorded cellphone explosion in China since 2002, so maybe it's best to make sure your cellphone's in a bag or something, rather than on your physical person. Hexun

bit difficult to make a call with your cell in a bag
One would imagine that one of those "Shanzhai" (山寨，i.e. knockoff/countryside/unauthorised) phones are dangerous. Maybe PC makers cannot make decent phones... Did I just read that Dell will enter the cell phone market as early as next month?
Not sure those batteries are 山寨. Note those batteries made by Sony in Japan for Nokia had overheat/explosion problems not long ago.
Holy Crappers!
First laptop batteries, now cellphones.
Soon, we can only board an airplane if we check-in or discard our cellphones before boarding.
Cellphones on bard of busses, trains and subways will be banned, too.
In Europe, owners of cellphones will be obliged to wear a helmet before answering a phonecall...
the picture is not clearly, maybe never happened, we wholesale electronics from China, http://www.isgoods.com
