Seriously? This article indicates that it has been reported that a Chinese woman died because she used her phone while it was on the charger. I know someone personally who uses their phone while it is charging, and they have not yet been electrocuted. The Iphone has matured, and I highly doubt that plugging a phone and using it could electrocute people. I have used my N6650 while it was charging with out an issue. I posted this to TWIL’s wall on facebook, and I’ll post it here. What do people think of this?

It is not common though for this type of thing to happen. Something big has to have it blow up like that. It seems to be a strange story.
I doubt this is the case.
I never use my devices while charging, I do sometimes use my shaver while charging.
My phone I turn off while charging so I know it will get charged but to be honest, if it didn\’t crash after being charged I would never turn it off in the first place.
My laptop is plugged in charging and I don\’t get electricuted from that.
Its unlikely that a genuine phone would do this a fake one well who knows.
And then there is the stability of the power, etc.
And since china has its own corruption and government issues there are other conspiracies that coule be chucked off this.
Personally I believe she was probably killed by the government for doing something they did not like.
My family came from indonesia, where there is still corruption and cash is king.
if you are bad, get out of jail.
if you don\’t like someone you can get them killed or worse.
You can be robbed if people think you are rich.
I have had family that have had issues there its why they came here to nz.
The government is one big company, heck our own is not a saint either.
Its doubtfull that any electronic device unless poorly designed or tampered with could cause issues itself, power serge protecters, sockets and the like have been known to cause issues though.
My friend is close to a strike zone and has frequent issues with extra unwanted power.
why yesterday I had someone I know get 3 transformers blow at once.
a naiboughr of theirs got their computers and stuff destroyed so yeah I guess it can happen.
