Even if this were true, I'm sure it was such a fluke chance of ever happening that it would be a minute percentage of cell phone users that it shouldn't cause for alarm.

It's kinda creepy to think about , though. My phone doesn't even charge plugged in to the wall, I charge it via USB hooked to my computer, so lets say we DID have an electrical storm and/or power surge, my computer would fry before I would.
