Herein lies the only remains I could find of my old cell phone.
[http://www.phoenixknights.net/misc/i1000plus-owned.jpg]

How did it die? Well, let's just say that a certain 2" diameter, 3 foot long metal pipe with a small opening for fuses was used (herein refered to as MotherOne).

MotherOne was loaded with 1/4 a cup of gunpower, and then loaded with a D-Size battery.

The obsolete phone was then duct-taped to a rather large rock, and the pipe was pointed at the cell phone with a small ramp. There was only a one foot distance between the two.

The fuse was lit and me and my friends took cover behind a large piece of plexy glass.

BOOM!!! And I mean boom.
It shook the ground and set off a car alarm down the street. Neighbors came outside confused. I smiled with satisfaction. The end.

Valuable Life Lesson: Frog + Potato Gun = Blindness
Worship Examples - Christians' love for God should be seen and heard, not merely talked about. It is through actions that one is determined to be Christian, not through words. Words (and thoughts, as well) deceive even one's own self, but the heart speaks truth.
Catloaf, meet mouseloaf.

i1000plus go for about $1.00 on eBay, not to mention this one was broken. Maybe I'll buy a few more and explode those too.

btw, I took a picture of the debris with my Motorola v300 phone (firmware flashed/flexed to v600 specs).

So was it more like a pipebomb or a bangalore torpedo (the things they used on D-Day to blow the wire up)?

I would have been much more impressed if you had hooked up the ringer to the fuse, and then called the phone. Much more fun.

Having a lot of down time != being a loser. Nice attempt at a flame, though.

I was just kidding with you, though aparrently you don't have a sense of humor.
