The cell phone story is a myth. The DOT and EPA both have refuted that, IIRC.

Yeah, like when is the last time a phone exploded in your hand. And even if it did, the vapor density is not high enough to support an explosion. If it was, then overheating catalysts would be a bigger issue.....

A cell phone, etc. are electonic devices. I for one will not chance it -- I don't care who says its safe! TAZ
