Are you seriously asking us to believe that someone with enough intelligence to not only turn on a computer, but then register on an internet forum, believed the phrase "jailbroken" would be attributed to taking something out of it's packaging?!
and who'd have thought that Jailbait is a term for underage girls!

Whatever was I thinking?

Fortunately though, you've never been caught.

Unlike this muppet.

Nobody comes across the term everyday, which is why to use it you'll have had to see or read it somewhere, just like you knew about activating it.

once the apple engineers open up the iphone and proove that it was hardware fault, this will prove that this isnt a scam !

The phone will be right infront of them!

I think it's fair to say that dropping a phone onto a hard surface then melting the case with a lighter may well introduce some faults for the apple engineers to discover.

Stick it in a blender as well - they'll probably then find structural integrity failure.

Ohh . . .

Jailbreaking and activating is not illegal.

It just invalidates the warranty

The battery is not near the damage. You applied the lighter in the wrong place.

why would it be illegal?

you have paid for the device. Its yours to do what you like with it. As long as your not defrauding the mobile phone companies for free calls etc.

the only illegal thing is if you change the IMEI

The itunes dock plug in is right at the bottom which my have caused it to overheat...

apple engineers are going to be looking inside the phone to see what went wrong!

I would laugh oh so hard if this turned out to be a design flaw

You are though, the iphone strictly comes only with o2 and you must stay with that provider, going with any other im sure would be illegal as the phone isnt there to do that, also you would be breaking o2s and apples terms and conditions

whoops didnt read the free calls bit, but you are still defrauding the companies

If the temparature had been so hot that the glass has melted, why hasn't the plastic warped and been, well, destroyed?

Ballpark figures - melting point of glass is 1500 degrees, plastic is a LOT less than this.

If this is true, why do we not see more damage? Why is the plastic not totally deformed and ruined. Why is there no mention of damage to the cradle? Why is there no mention of any other damage, melted plastic leaking out, smoke damage, etc

I'm one for evidence - and so far I've seen none.....

More photos please....
