              Ahh, the joy of Tantalum capacitors.

                Doesn't have to be the capacitors, lithium batteries are infamous for hydrogen buildup, and can explode with rather surprising force.

                  In the previous case, with the Nokia phone, it was due to a 3rd-party battery, which had skimped on the short-detector. I wonder what happened here with this "new" phone?

                    Yeah thats true, Lithiums can get really pissed off if the charging circuit isn't designed for the particular battery.

                      My brother just told me that when worked at a jewlery store, he used to blow up the tiny little watch batteries with a small propane/O2 torch. Even though they were dead batteries, they would make a really scary BANG when they got hot enough.
