i'm going to have to agree... did you guys hear about the kid in california who was charging his phone at home, gets a phone call, answers, and the thing exploded, shocked and messed him up BAAAAD!
I guess when youre plugged into the wall charging, there are electrical surges and bursts, and if you so happen to pick up a call during it, you could get ROCKED!
Maybe the kid had a cheap ext battery in it without the over heat/charge protection. I dunno, but sh*t, i'm buyin the mugen (aka quality) battery for $80 with the awesome cover. No chances here. not spendin chump change on an expensive phone.
