The thing is, these phones have a penchant of spontaneously exploding due to faulty batteries. One dude died a few months ago when a phone he was carrying in his chest blew up. Other people suffered severe injuries to where people usually carry phones on their person...

I bought a Chi-phone last year due to the fact that it would allow me two sim cards (where I live there are only two providers and I save about $100 monthly by calling only within my providers network) and it has been an all in all positive experience (the phone even once had a software problem and was replaced with a brand new phone within two weeks. It hasn't exploded yet, but after reading this I might not put it between my legs while driving any longer (would be a real loss to the gene pool)...
