Watch out all you Nokia cell phone users! According to the New York Times, Nokia has just warned customers that a whopping 46 million of its BL-5C cell phone batteries could potentially overheat. Due to a possible short-circuit while charging, the battery can easily shift and cause many problems. Currently 100 incidences have been reported, although there hasn't been any mention of any serious injuries. Nokia is still in talks with the battery maker Matsushita to negotiate whether batteries should be replaced. This doesn't sound overly serious. Just another battery over-heating, what else is new?
