Talk about living up to its namesake: one Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket, which is yet another variant of the hugely successful Samsung Galaxy S2 range, recently combusted in the confines of the owner’s pocket. Good thing there was no serious injury reported, and the family jewels of the owner remained intact so that he can continue to have progeny of his own down the road. Someone over at the XDA Developers forum put up a series of images of the exploded Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket, where “he said he heard a sound, [felt] a burning sensation on his leg and as he pulled the smartphone out of his pocket, he smelled burning. There was smoke coming out of his pocket and out of the phone.” Well, I guess if there is a positive from all of this, you can say that the Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket is one smokin’ hot smartphone! ;)
