I thought I'd share something I found humorous. I
just got a recall notice
and replacement battery for my Kyocera phone. In the letter that
accompanied the new battery, written by a Kyocera attorney, it was said that
there was little risk of a widespread problem, and only a few people had
been affected by the (I quote) "rapid disassembly" of the device, and of
those, only one person had received second degree burns, and property damage
in other cases was minor.
Ugh. Makes me sort-of glad I own a Nokia. With
factory-original battery and
charger, too, thank-you-very-much.
Actually, I tell a lie - I own three Nokias - a pair of 2110i GSM800s with
aftermarket (i.e. not Nokia) batteries - and a 6210 with LiIon battery. If
only they weren't so damn slow to start up from cold.
Later.
