I'd be super sad if that happened to me. But if it wasnt my fault I would be the happiest man in the world. I would sue the hell out of Samsung and then buy another GS3 lol
Galaxy S3 very hot in more ways than one!

Samsung knows about the "Hot" Galaxy S III and made a statement about it on their blog

I agree that we do not have all the facts and that it is probably isolated due to the carelessness of the owner or deliberate damage to hurt GS3 sales. I am no fanboy as this is my first Android device. My pebble blue should arrive before 3PM CST today and we will see just how the phone really is. I am still thinking AWESOMENESS!!!
So lame you have nothing better to talk about.
Anyway, kinda funny after the android fanboys got all up in arms with heatgate on the iPad, which really wasn't an issue anyway.
That wouldn't effect the current hold up the i phone is having though. Here's the update to the phone

A comment posted on the article post on Android authority raises a good point that the damage is restricted to the charging port likely due to a "dodgy" car charger. The device has been out for almost a month and this the only documented incident if it is true. It could deliberate damage as well.
I actually had this happen to me. I bought the very first Ipod Nano back in like 2002-2003? (registered it). Then early this year -- i get an email from Apple explaining the whole exploding battery thing and that they want this nano back while either repairing or replacing it.
I thought it was spam or something and called to confirm and it was legit. A few weeks later, i got the newest Ipod nano shipped to me. Needless to say i was very impressed that they would followup with me nearly 10 years after the fact.

Agreed. I posted the original article, because I thought it of interest. But I'm not going to be losing any sleep worrying about my S3 exploding or catching on fire (once it arrives, that is!)
In addition to cell phones, there are also lots of (isolated) cases of laptops exploding/catching fire, and at least a couple of widespread recalls. I think in all the cases I've heard of, it was the batteries, vs. the laptops themselves.
Hahaha! You must have been over reading the "Happy Ship Day" threads!
Mucho unreasonableness and ranting & raving uncontrollably there! 
The guy said the phone was not charging at the time. This is definitely deliberate.

So...it wasn't charging at the time, but the fire originated at the charging port? Hmmmmm.
I guess the dumbass didn't know to burn around the battery area for better realism.

What would be his motive as he bought the phone in the first place... Just sayin

He's probably sick in the head, seriously.

Just because he purchased the S3 thats wrong to make that assumption...

Wow, quite a lot of assumptions going on here, based on an article and a few cellphone pictures. Nice crucifixion job!
I like what this technician said...lol
" jEYE 4 hours ago
Cell phone technician here. $20 says that he put it in a microwave. See it all the time. Phone gets a bit wet, people nuke their phone for a few seconds thinking it will dry it off internally. Phone ends up going pop and catching fire, but only where the micro coax and antenna couplings are. Screen will still work, phone still charges, but reception is gone. I call shenanigans."
