blazed from my Viper Bitten One X

I think this was a case of pure stupididty. This looks more like sombody used a 220v source instead of 110v.

i'd be more impressed if it can resist water, not heat..

Like half the Japanese androids are waterproof up to 1m deep. Time to trade roms for showering and swimming phone privileges, haha.

If I were as dumb as that guy who microwaved the phone, I would've thrown the phone off the Empire State building.

The only way it was possible to produce damage similar to the damage recorded within the owner's damaged device was to place the devices or component parts within a domestic microwave

After the statement, the owner of the overheated Galaxy S III has since brought more light as to how it all happened and has even retracted his accusations towards Samsung. According to him, the phone was exposed to water and "another person" had been trying to mend it.

Thank God I don't have a friend who might THINK to put my phone in the microwave

I hope this Guy have a warranty replacement for his EXPLODED phone !!
