So, apparently, the AT&T Quickfire, a pretty popular Sidekick Slide-esque phone made by PCD (WTF?) for AT&T Mobility has been pulled from all shelves and is no longer even available on the AT&T Wireless website because the toy (yeah.... look at it) actually can catch on fire if you plug its ominously symmetrical charger in upside down, bursting into a... um... quick fire.
