All of my phones have taken baths and survived, including my current blackberry storm which silly me I forgot in a pocket as I took the kids wading. Most have survived falls off of roofs (the ones that haven't didn't last long enough to fall) Really I think the broken screen is the most common issue in a cell phone.]]>Jan 12th 2010 2:38PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/01/11/bbc-reporter-smashes-unbreakable-cell-phone-during-ces-2010/http://www.switched.com/2010/01/11/bbc-reporter-smashes-unbreakable-cell-phone-during-ces-2010/Jan 12th 2010 8:06AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/01/11/bbc-reporter-smashes-unbreakable-cell-phone-during-ces-2010/http://www.switched.com/2010/01/11/bbc-reporter-smashes-unbreakable-cell-phone-during-ces-2010/

As with the phone in this clip, the screen broke. He frantically waves the terminal at me while I'm still finishing up the demo I was doing, and all I could do was shrug my shoulders - I was just glad it didn't happen to me!!
The vendor of the mobile device was also at the show, and when I finished my demo, I took the broken unit and walked over to their booth, ,and quietly showed them the unit and told them what happened. They quickly replaced the unit, but did ask that we not conduct any more drop tests during the show!!
Ever since that incident, I've been highly skeptical of claims that any such device is "unbreakable"!!!]]>Jan 12th 2010 9:01AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/01/11/bbc-reporter-smashes-unbreakable-cell-phone-during-ces-2010/http://www.switched.com/2010/01/11/bbc-reporter-smashes-unbreakable-cell-phone-during-ces-2010/Jan 12th 2010 9:04AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/01/11/bbc-reporter-smashes-unbreakable-cell-phone-during-ces-2010/http://www.switched.com/2010/01/11/bbc-reporter-smashes-unbreakable-cell-phone-during-ces-2010/Jan 12th 2010 9:04AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/01/11/bbc-reporter-smashes-unbreakable-cell-phone-during-ces-2010/http://www.switched.com/2010/01/11/bbc-reporter-smashes-unbreakable-cell-phone-during-ces-2010/Jan 12th 2010 9:10AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/01/11/bbc-reporter-smashes-unbreakable-cell-phone-during-ces-2010/http://www.switched.com/2010/01/11/bbc-reporter-smashes-unbreakable-cell-phone-during-ces-2010/Jan 12th 2010 9:17AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/01/11/bbc-reporter-smashes-unbreakable-cell-phone-during-ces-2010/http://www.switched.com/2010/01/11/bbc-reporter-smashes-unbreakable-cell-phone-during-ces-2010/Jan 12th 2010 9:25AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/01/11/bbc-reporter-smashes-unbreakable-cell-phone-during-ces-2010/http://www.switched.com/2010/01/11/bbc-reporter-smashes-unbreakable-cell-phone-during-ces-2010/Jan 12th 2010 9:57AMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/01/11/bbc-reporter-smashes-unbreakable-cell-phone-during-ces-2010/http://www.switched.com/2010/01/11/bbc-reporter-smashes-unbreakable-cell-phone-during-ces-2010/Jan 12th 2010 10:01AM
