    It doesn't concern me because I'm the only individual on planet Earth who doesn't have a mobile phone! lol But this reminded me of a new phone that was launched a couple of years ago, where the batteries kept exploding, or bursting into flames (I can't remember which). To come to the point - how can a tech manufacturer spend (presumably) 2 or 3 years on R&D without any such incidents, and yet when they go into the marketplace, these things start happening. It just seems so bizarre?

    those 'testers' removed the special coating that protected the screens when closed & hid the seem when opened... prolly 'roughhoused' it as well... nearly impossible to idiot proof that type of phone
