SPV M600 - Does your hair stand on end?

[Guest MrGeo]

Hi

I recently reviewed the mobile phone contracts for our company & included upgrades to Orange SPV M600s for a number of our users.

One of my managers reported a strange happening today. Whilst finding his way around the new device, he noticed what could only be described as an electrical/static impulse, which, his partner, who was sitting to his right, also noticed.

Now, given that the contacts on the stylus & the sensor screen panel are actually made of a synthetic plastic like substance, I had to bite my lip & stop myself from blatantly disbelieving him.

However, he claims that a few minutes later, there was a tingling sensation in his forearm. There is no new software installed on the device & my guy would only be messing around in contacts/calendar/messages or even having a quick game of bubble breaker or solitaire.

So, although I am somewhat in awe at what was described to me, I thought I'd ask if any of our members have ever experienced anything similar with an SPV M600 or another touchscreen device.

All comments are welcome (I'll even laugh at the humorous ones!).

Keep up the good work.

Hmmmm, since static discharges are normally rated in the thousands of volts I think it unlikely that a phone could generate that much potential. If that much potential was dumped through the phone I suspect it would probably stop working. More likely he picked up static walking around the office then earthed himself when he sat down. Doesn't wear nylon slacks does he?

You sure he wasn't having a stroke?
