Or dying by using one?
Teenager killed by exploding Nokia smartphone in India | TheINQUIRER
Uma Oram, an 18-year-old from Kheriakani, India was using the phone to talk to a relative and had it plugged into the wall when the incident happened, reported the Metro.
The explosion caused injuries to Oram's chest, hand and leg causing her to fall unconscious. She was taken to hospital where she was later declared dead due to the terminal injuries.
"As the battery of the mobile phone was draining out, she plugged it for charging while talking over it simultaneously," her brother Durga Prasad Oram explained.
"The cell phone was put on charging when she started talking to a relative. Its battery exploded suddenly. Before we could know what exactly happened, Uma fell unconscious. She was declared dead at the hospital."
Lesson: Maybe don't try to charge your toy while making a call with it?
On the brighter side....maybe if only texting it would be but a hand blown off!
