The phone "exploded and burnt" but the orange cover was left in perfect condition? The kid can't use his own phone and is scarred for life, but has no problems posing with the bad phone. And what wasn't written is that RIM wants to inspect the device, the battery and the charger, and the family now says they don't know where they are. I call fraud. This has scam written all over it.

I mean, i put my phone on charge every night because i use it in the day all day, so when i sleep is when i don't use my phone. they should have a switch off timer when the phone is fully charged. But i've got to admit, Blackberrys are sh**, get an android or iPhone, much better phones! you’d have thought by now, phone manufacturers would have been able to stop this from happening.
