Exploding cell phone shocks 911 dispatcher | CNET News.com:

"A group of Utah 911 dispatchers faced an emergency of their own this week when a Motorola cell phone overheated and exploded.

Dispatcher Kris Munford's V300 camera phone grew 'red hot' just as she and her co-workers settled in for their 6 a.m. shift on Sunday. The handset burned a hole in her jacket pocket, fell to the floor and exploded, Munford said, adding that burning parts landed as far as 10 feet away and smoke filled the room."
