Remember a few weeks ago we reported of an American who reportedly had his Motorola Droid 2 “Explode” in his ear mid-phone call? Well, Motorola did their investigation into this and the findings aren’t exactly as the man depicted. Apparently the man had actually dropped the device, which resulted in a cracked screen, he then placed the device to his ear without noticing the crack, which led to the cut and bleeding.

Motorola had this to say:

“[The Droid 2] was a phone that got dropped. [T]he guy didn’t notice the glass had cracked [...]so when he put it to his ear, he cut himself.” [T]he only things that could explode in a phone would have resulted in a phone that did not work, yet this phone worked. And there was no explosive damage to the device (things inside blown outward, etc).”

This doesn’t however explain the “popping” noise he heard before the explosion, but then again, he could have damaged the speaker during the drop or been in a bad calling area.

Regardless, it’s a funny story any way you look at it.
