All that lawsuit talk makes me want to burn my leg as I know how to now my iPod Touch got bricked. When I boot it it will only show the Apple logo and then only turns hot. It's a pity I live in Europe otherwise i would be now in a lot of pain
Don't do anything dishonest, that wont get you anywhere, but you should
1) Go to your doctor immediately and have it checked out and documented.
2) Stop using the iPhone and take it to the Genius Bar immediately.
I think it is high time for Americans and Europeans to stand up and say we are no longer going to accept this defective Wall-Mart style CRAP that is created in China. I have had 2 products in the last 3 months with explooding batteries, one of which sprayed the electrolyte on my child. Luckily we were able to nutralize the acid before more problems.
We are in an era where every big company is trying to make their products cheaper and cheaper, so they go to China. China manufacturing=FAIL. Every stinkin LiIon battery in the explooding battery problems of the past year is made in ...wait for it...China (ding ding ding). If they cant even be bothered to make their schools and buildings up to spec to not kill their own people, then how in the heck can we expect them to give a crap about us, the Capitalistic society (Their mortal enimy's). I miss the days of products coming out of HK. While there are ties to China, things were such better quality then.
You need to burn Apple on this. They owe you. What if you get cancer later on because of cell damage that you dont see now. It can happen. Send Apple the message that we do not accept their non-QA, QC crap. And for the love of God, at least have them replace your iPhone with a new one out of the box and not a replacement, refurb stock unit in a white box. I think that is the least they could do. Of course they are not going to care, so the suggestion to run in without an appointment and drop trou and scream may have more of an effect, or may provide more comedy for us here in the forums. If you decide to do that, please have a friend video tape it, as this would be really funny.

I really don't want to form a lawsuit, I just want a replacement, the burn isn't severe, maybe like a sunburn...
also, auto lock was set to 1 minute, the phone wasn't jailbroken, and yeah,
it was a wake up "call"...
So has Apple called you back after all of this coverage? It's nearing 10,000 views on Gizmodo.
Nothing heard yet, still suprised I made Gizmodo...
Your a celebrity now!!!!, can i have an autograph???

He could be on The View talking with the girls about this iPhone thingy or maybe Oprah and then she could give out free iPhones to everyone in the audience.
Well, think of it this way ... if Apple asks for a picture of your physical damage, you won't go to jail for sending it.
I little less luck and your personal injury due to the iPhone could really have hurt, and got you sent to jail for mailing pics of your privates to Apple's CSRs.
