Droid 2 didn't explode, it was dropped says Motorola

News - By: pdaBlast! Staff - December 10, 2010

Remember Aron Embry of Cedar Hill, Texas who claimed his Droid 2 exploded in his ear? It seems that Motorola has a different explanation for the blood that ran from Mr. Embry's ear.

According to a PCMAG source at Motorola, there was no evidence of an explosion at all.

"The only things that could explode in a phone would have resulted in a phone that did not work, yet this phone worked. And there was no explosive damage to the device (things inside blown outward, etc)."

Mr. Embry claimed the phone still worked after the explosion but that seems unlikely. Perhaps he dropped the phone and didn't see the cracked display. When he put it up to his ear it could have cut him.

We may never know what happened to Mr. Embry's Droid 2, but Motorola's explanation sure seems more believable.
