Mobile World-26: "Mobile Phone Explodes & Kills"

The Daily Mail, UK, reports of the death of a shopworker in China following explosion of his mobile phone. The artery in his neck was severed.

Following this, Chinese media has published advice for mobile users:

1. Always use original batteries
2. Never modify your phone
3. Always use original battery chargers
4. Do not expose your mobile phone to high temperatures
5. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight
6. Avoid long phone conversations
7. Do not make or answer calls when the phone is charging
8. Try to keep your phone in a bag instead of in a pocket
9. Do not use damaged batteries.

Mobile users world over would do well by following this useful advice.

Grateful thanks to The Daily Mail, UK (www.dailymail.co.uk).
