Defect? Samsung Omnia's battery heat turns phone black

Samsung Omnia in pearl white

A while ago we posted a news story concerning pearl white Samsung Omnias being launched to market. Well, recently we got some feedback from a reader saying that he has purchased a pearl white Samsung Omnia and has noticed a very strange defect – when the battery of the phone heats up even slightly, the back battery cover turns black – “as if the color is coming away.”

Has any one else experienced this? Please, tell us all about it!

    Yes, it happened to me too. I contacted Samsung and they said that this is not covered. I found out some other person had the same problem I added the link http://www.ppcsg.com/index.php?showtopic=101880

    It’s not covered… if it’s hot enough to make color fade/darken, I’m sure there should be safety concerns as to the safety of the battery overheating or the chemicals being leeched from the phone as it overheats the plastics.

    Idiots spilling boiling hot coffee on their laps wasn’t considered a liability until it happened to someone at a McDonald’s drive through.
