NiCd and NiMH use very different chargers. You can not successfully charge an NiMH battery in a phone designed only for NiCd. It's quite possible that the new battery will vent itself if you install it. Not exactly a fire or explosion (both of which are pretty unlikely), but your phone will probably be wrecked by it nonetheless. *
