We all know iPhones are hot property - as their owners generally tell you. However, when one blows up in your pocket, you know its probably time to stop bragging.

That's what happened to 17-year-old Henri Helminen, whose three-month-old iPhone started smoking profusely of its own accord, causing the Finn to quickly reach for the handset and toss it away, Finnish publication Kauppalehti reports.

Speak for yourself. I'd love to get moderately burned by an iPhone.

A big juicy check and an NDA, fine by me

I know, I sleep right next to my phone and my phone (Motorola Atrix) overheats like crazy even when browsing the internet. I have it running underclocked/undervolted just to be safe since it heats very quickly.

I second this (same phone), but after undervolting it does not run that hot. Plus, it is always sitting @ 608 MHz, even when i'm playing. No stuttering is awesome even at such low speed.

I do sleep next to it though tongue.gif
