I have other cell phones, much older, that we occasionally power up and try to charge for a visiting friend and get a SIM card for them to use while in the US. These phones are not kept charged either and they don't do this.
Anyway, here is a long bunch of commentary on the Apple web site. I'm thinking of walking in to an Apple Store as some people mention, to see if I can at least get them to dispose of the device properly.
If I dispose of it I want to make sure my data is deleted. I can't recall what all I have on it, but I'd just rather not have anything out there.
