      Wow clap clap, finally we have some tech talk in the iphone forum. What amazes me is this! If I buy the best computer on the market today and over two years has passed will I still think its the best computer? Of cause not! The iphone is outdated I dont understand why so many people fight for this phone when its not even in the top 20 best phones on the market right now. Come on, this phone has no bluetooth, a 3mp camera, 320 by 480 screen res, no radio and you have to jailbrake or download all sorts of apps just to play regular flash vids. OMFG this world is so far ahead of the iphone right now. Samsung has some lowend phones out right now with better hardware specs than the iphone. Would someone pls tell me why pay all that money for a lowend phone when I could get a highend phone for around the same price and in some cases even less. Let me tell you guys were technology is today. I8910 hd aka Omnia hd, LG BL40, Toshiba TG01, Omnia 2, Pixon12, and with lots of Android phones coming why spend all that money for a phone that wont even bring you up to date. Watch now, these iphone users will be all over this cause they cant accept that their expensive phone is now outdated. Come on, after over two years do you think that technology has not advanced?

          Since you don't even know how nokia builds it's batteries, I doubt you've ever seen one at all.

          Hydrogen gas? boy you are so green you haven't even started chemistry class, elements don't yeld other elements (eg. led don't become gold)

          There are may ways of making lithium bateries but neither li-Po (google mendeleev) not Li-ion (do you actually know what ionizing means?) contain ANY hidrogen gas.

          And if there was a build up, the molecular mass of hydrogen would allow it lo leak before any visible swelling occurs. But I bet that's wayyy to SF for you school boy. Even hard to believe isn't it?


          As for apple's batteries made in japan you said? well lithium is one highly reciclable substance so I guess that if they really were that "eco-friendly: the batteries would have been made either in US or by foxconn.

          This again proves they're nothing but frauds.

                                  You truly have to be very cheap (motorola) or have no idea about phones (apple) to simply hand over to your customers batteries in such form, for the sake of "compactness" and "sleekness".

Lipo's in their raw form are wrapped in a double plastic sided thin aluminium foil, bent sideways to give room for balooning.- that's how they come in iPhone.

                                    Decent manufacturers(all but apple and motorola) wrap them extra in a thick sheet of stainless steel to prevent unfortunate events.

                                    Once a lipo swells, the contact between metal rod-lithium compound is compromised and so is the battery life.

                                    So I'm sorry to break your ducktape fantasies but I play with 22V @ ~5000 mAh lipo's and yes, I do know everything about them.

                                        Either way apple's desperation is picking up with the launch in china (they're made there, what took apple so long?) since the iphone might be banned out of europe:

                                        As you know iphone batteries have no metallic saftey garment so swelling up and cracking the phone as well as overheating was reported.

                                        Well done apple, well done steve jobs! we're looking forward to the charade speech for gaining back control over your stray iSheep.

                                        Just hurry up to replace the EU market with china since everybody in china is so rich, they can afford up to 5 iPhones or so i've heard!
