Folks...
 
As always, this is just another "urban legend" that is NOT true! It has
been circulating around the internet (unsubstantiated) for YEARS
 
As soon as I receive ANY "internet warning," I always go to
www.snopes.com to check on its validity before I EVER "forward it to all
my friends." In this case, I plugged the keywords, "cell phone explod"
into SNOPES, and, in a few seconds, came up with the following
explanation:

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE... always check the validity of ANY internet
"warning" before wasting everyone's time (and clogging up an
already-slow internet).
 
Besides, think about it, do you SERIOUSLY think "forwarding emails" is
the BEST way to warn people about such a (supposed) danger? Don't you
think, if this warning WERE real, it would be plastered all over the
EVENING NEWS????
