A man was burned by a Nokia mobile phone in Vietnam, three days after another Nokia phone exploded and injured a woman in southern Vietnam, state-run media reported in Hanoi.
 
Nguyen Van Linh was playing billiards in the central city of Danang when he felt something hot in his pants pocket.
 
The Nokia 8250 model was too hot to hold, the Lao Dong (Labour) newspaper reported.
 
Linh was forced to remove his trousers and when he smashed the phone with a billiard cue to remove the sim card, the battery was smouldering, the newspaper said.
 
On Wednesday, a woman in Ho Chi Minh City was injured when her Nokia 8210 exploded as she was eating breakfast in a hospital canteen, a news website reported.
 
A counterfeit battery was thought to be the cause of the explosion on Wednesday, VN Express said.
