    Not sure that I can see how an exploding battery can break a dude's spine though

    he's probaly fallen over or something as a rult. The thing melted to his chest? wtf
  4. I reckon he took a good kicking off someone/several people and the battery was a result of that, as were the spine and ribs.

    Still something that it glued itself to his chest though, as you say

    its not the phone itself. Its the people who buy th phone. The people who pay £300 to get themselves roped into a terrible rip-off contract just to have the phone. I saw people outside the O2 store jumping and screaming and taking photos of themselves with their iphones. Fuck I wanted to melt a phone into each of their chests. Sad sad sad.

    About the phone. . it's ok, uglier than it should be (why doesn't it look more like the touch?). Pretty interface but average other than that.

    Exactly why I've got the Touch and not bothered with the iPhone. £35 minimum per month for 18 months and they give you shit minutes and texts, far less than you'd get on any other contract for that much money.

    Apart from the obvious (ie being a phone ) I can't really see what it offers above the Touch either. Crappy camera? No thanks. Google maps, GPS and stock options? whoopy fucking do. Everything else I can do and it looks nicer.

    I think I can probably handle having a phone and an iPod on me, have done for the last 4 years.

    Don't get me wrong, it's a lovely product and when it's 2nd or 3rd Gen and they've opened up the options a bit plus increased the memory and dropped the price (not to mention the O2 contract) then I'll be interested. But not before.
  9. another thing that annoyed me is that the upgrade is 99% going to be released in January. 18 month contract for the upgrade to be released in 2 months? No thanks

    Do you think they'll stage that though? USA first then us later down the line. If they do a complete upgrade across the board that'll piss a whole shedload of people off.
  11. Probably when the battery exploded something went into his back and shattered his spine.

    But the official, who spoke anonymously, said such a fatal explosion would be virtually impossible.


    That's not true. LG, Sony, Lenovo (IBM) and Dell were recalling half a million Lithium-Ion batteries due to fire and risk of explosions. And iPods/iPhones use the same batteries as well.

    Not if LG were recalling half a million Lithium-Ion batteries due to fire and risk of exploding it's not virtually impossible. Lithium-Ion is the same battery type the iPod and other electronics use as well, and still they made the mistake of using them for keeping the iPod small and lots of battery life.

    They should have used Nickel-Cadmium batteries.


    As long as mine doesn't blow up and melt to my face then i'll not worry. Would be nice to see some different battery technology though.
