(Newser) – A man in Guangzhou, China, was killed last week when his cell phone blew up and severed an artery in his neck, the Times of London reports. The young shop clerk is believed to have put the phone in his breast pocket straight after charging a new battery before it exploded. Police are investigating whether the phone or battery were counterfeit and warn that consumers should always use original batteries.
Claiming that this is the ninth cell phone explosion recorded in China since 2002, a local paper offered these other tips on how to avoid being injured or killed by your phone:
* Never modify your phone
* Do not expose your phone to high temperatures or direct sunlight
* Avoid long phone conversations
* Keep your phone in a bag, not a pocket

in other unrelated news, people in the united states were turning into zombie killers from messages from their cell phones.(Stephen King- The Cell)
That's why he's the King of horror!
Did you see that highway sign?
Killer zombies ahead- Killer Nazi zombies ahead. I think it was in Texas. Why am I not surprised?
any idea where i can buy one of those phones for the lovely mrs you know who.
LOL! I like the way you think.
Hmmm....interesting thought for a murder mystery...
that zombie sign was outside of 'lets keep it weird' austin, texas...i loved it..
Barrie, maybe you should write a book about it. A free Chinese cell phone with every copy might help it sell.
YDG, I thought it was kind of cool.
Barrie - Went and looked @ your profile. You really could write a book about it! (I didn't realize) Just wanted you to know I wasn't being sarcastic in earlier comment.
