Apple replaces iPhones for issues much less severe than this. This isn't going to change the market share.

Enjoy your exploding Sony laptop batteries though (Dell, et. al. circa 2006). Wink

Windows mobile, Android, and RIM phones are getting better and better. Just wait till this holiday season and u will see. In a year or two I dont think Apple will have as much of the smart phone market as they currently do.

here's the real side of the stories.

http://gizmodo.com/5348444/iphone-explosions-the-inside-story

what actually happens is that 1/500 calls for problems with iphones are legitimate (all from battery over-heating), and all the others are from french people trying to get a free replacement for there own mistake like dropping it and the screen cracking.

"Seems like the French iPhone "explosion" plague is just a stupid summer media craze fed by some stupid French people."



*i do not condone the criticism of french people.
