The gift card would be nice, but being a spokesman for Nair would even be better!

Yes it is nice to see this guy taking the high road. Knowing it was the right thing and he gets a new iphone . Save the. “suein” for bigger more tragic stuff . Still I think they could afford a say $100 iTunes Card and thank him for being a nice guy about it. He is a real good guy.

If he “shaved” them, he must have done it a couple days prior to the picture because the hairs have grown back out. Either that, or he just used a trimmer. The second would have been smarter because it wouldn’t have hurt as much.

I also commend him on not pursuing legal actions; stuff happens!

Agreed, the only thing I can imagine is that his legs are so hairy that you were only able to see the burn once shaved, but I would think that running anything other than lotion over a burn would just further irritate it.

Why would you shave an area that is burned? That would make it hurt more?

He went on to state on the forum that the phone has a blue appearance because he was trying to highlight the plastic melt and used a spotlight to get the maximum amount of light.

As far as the shaved leg, he stated that he only shaved that part to highlight the burn, and the rest of his legs are still hairy.

Its always nice to see someone who is not sue happy, I was getting tired reading the forums comments from all those telling him to go to an attorney. Yes it sucks but this things happen sometimes with electronics, if every idiot sued because of minor things then we as consumers would end up paying in the long run because it would surely drive prices up.
