    Chinese Made Cell Phone Explodes In Khun Thanit’s Shirt Pocket


    The M2F free newspaper reported that a Chinese made MTM mobile phone which Mr. Thanit Phongdee age 55, a Bangkok business man had bought at Maboonkrong mall exploded in his shirt’s pocket.

    Mr. Thanit said that he had bought the mobile phone at 3,000 THB because it was cheap and he could use with it with 3 sim cards.He had used the phone for 1 year. No problem.

    The night before the incident he charged the battery as usual. When he was having lunch at the food center in Central World, the phone suddenly exploded. His shirt was torn and burnt.

    He said that, he is lucky not to have been seriously injured from the explosion.Mr. Thanit is planning to sue the Chinese mobile phone company.

    The M2F newspaper contacted the distributor selling the phones manufactured in Shenzhen, China.

    Mrs. Phing from the MTM mobile phone importer & distributor in Thailand said that she would like to talk to the Mr. Thanit because this is the first that one of their mobile phones exploded. Mrs. Phing assumes that Mr. Thanit might have used non standard batteries.

    Or he could have left the mobile phone in the strong sun light for a long time causing the overheating and explosion of the battery.
    "Slavery is the daughter of darkness; an ignorant people is the blind instrument of its own destruction; ambition and intrigue take advantage of the credulity and inexperience of men who have no political, economic or civil knowledge. They mistake pure illusion for reality, license for freedom, treason for patriotism, vengeance for justice."-Simón Bolívar

    What's new, a year old phone is worthless, he should have bought an Iphone. Or is it because the phone, and maybe the battery, is built in China.

    Same city as those cheep-ass electric motor scooters. Imaging batteries blowing up in one of those while you're sitting just above them going 40 MPH through city traffic with your wife and child aboard.
