I was in canada visiting a friend, and I lost my temper because I had been on the road for three hours trying to find his house and the my service wasn't great on my cellphone. So I stopped, got out of the car, and threw my cell phone straight into a power line. I had a distinct snap and crackling sound, and and the line flickered. Two minutes later, I hear my cell phone ringing =D. spend a minute and go find it out in a side ditch, phone worked fine, charred black, the back and front cover were comple tely burnt to a crisp and melted. I hotfooted it back to the car and burnt my leather jacket in the manner. when I came back to the states, I took out the front and back cover, and looked at the insides. it was fine except for the green boards having charred black. I sitll use the same phone. =D reception sucks
