My take is that it's a stunt. No one would risk their safety for a stunt? Have you ever seen the Jackass movies?

No one would blame God Apple. Damn!

It's weird but the new Samsung S3 caught fire at the headphone jack and 15 days later, it's an iphone? You say that no one would take such risks but for money, some people will do anything!
This is only my opinion!

If you REALLY don't think somebody would risk their safety (really, a smokin phone in your pants pocket is all that dangerous?) then you haven't watched "stupid stunts" or "dangerous pranks" or other videos of the sort on YouTube.
I'm not saying it IS fake, as anything is possible... Mine was so hot last week I could barely hold it in my hand. I'm SURE it could be real, but to discount the likelihood it is faked with the "who would risk their safety" logic is just silly. -
It happened in Finland. In the homeland of Nokia :D Got the connection? :)

There are many ways those batteries can catch fire.
Battery manufacturing faults, Batteries are damaged by dropping the phone once or more, Damaged during to battery replacement, others ...
Would be hard to find out afterwards as isolation materials have been melted.

The guy got his 15 minutes of fame. He'll be forgotten next month.

I guess it's one of those CCTV cams that can't sit still. Like it's on a .... tripod!

Nobody can fake a real chicken dance like that!

I give it a Mythbusters style "Plausible" When he kept it in his back pocket it would have caused it to flex when he bend forward to get up & out of the van, possibly bending it to an extent as to damage the components & battery inside. A board or component could have punctured the battery and caused this. It's as likely as it happening at just the right time as to be caught on CCTV. That is to say nothing is impossible.

Bahahaha! Love it! It would've been great if it happened in the USA and on July the 4th! Fireworks out the ass would've been perfect.
