Wow, I am about to buy a droid so I can use the ipod app that has the
Septa busses and their locations on it. May I won't get a motorola.
Any good suggestions. BTW I use T-Mobile.

I just talked to my 20 year old daughter and she is looking into the
matter. She has a droid with T-mobile and is checking on the free app
for Septa.

That guy looks and talks like a cook. I don't believe him. He's looking for a
paycheck.

I've looked at that, and a few other reports and comments about it. Fuzzy
videos aren't a good source of forensic evidence, and I'm no expert in
"exploding" mobile phones, but I'm inclined to agree with others who've
commented elsewhere that the damage to the handset looks more like impact
or external pressure than anything coming from inside the casing - and as
the thing apparently still works, it's hard to imagine what caused the
"pop" the man claims to have heard.

This could turn out to be an attempt to get a nice little payout from
'some big company', or a free replacement or upgrade for a handset that
isn't quite the latest model.

From a design angle, that model seems to have the slot for the 'earpiece'
cut through the display glass. That could introduce extra points for
stress to accumulate, making the glass slightly easier to break. There are
other models that have the earpiece slots cut in the metal or plastic of
the case; that could be a point to consider - but I can't say whether or
not it has any real significance.

I looked at the Motorola Droids. I bought the HTC Droid incredible I
didn't think i could get used to a touch screen keyboard for texting.
This one is big enough at 4.3" screen size. It's tough on my Ipod Touch
su I was surprised. I'll try to forget about the Moto Droid exploding for
now.

T-Mobile has a G-2 I think. 4G capable too.

I think the battery blew, may be lithium-polymer. And the pressure came
out the earpiece area.
