Redbeard- can you point to a single documented case of a fuel fire caused by a cell phone?
No, but I can point out many overcharged cellphones and other lithium-cobalt batteries that have spontaneously burst into flames. IF this happened near a gas station, it is possible to set something off.

My issue again is not the ringing or normal operation. It is the act of dropping the phone and breaking it.
