Awesome, I can't wait for this weeks click. There's a video in the link, pretty funny. :P

the CEO's reaction is hilarious, glad he wasn't a dick about it.

There has to be a witty pun for this. Edit: Later that day at work it occurred to me: "The phone had A Smashing [B]Reception[/B]" Geddit?

Back to the drawing board for them then.

[QUOTE=Kybalt;19570416][highlight]Breaking News![/highlight][/QUOTE] You're a little to late on that one Bob.

This proves unbreakable =/= unbreakable

[QUOTE=Tk1138;19570427]You're a little to late on that one Bob.[/QUOTE] How so?

It broke by hitting it against the edge of some fish tank... and the CEO actually said it wont break even if you drop it from the 10th storey :raise:

"Pack up guys, someone broke the phone!"

I guess Bruce Willis is the one laughing now. He can't die Hard, only by water. :p

Titanic phone.

[QUOTE=Sleepy Head;19570378]the CEO's reaction is hilarious, glad he wasn't a dick about it.[/QUOTE] I expected him to get all mad, instead he's just like :v: .

And I guess water could leak in because of the crack

If you're going to market the phone as unbreakable, the screen should be a focus area for durability

"If you break it you ge that phone for free" OH THANKS NOW I HAVE A BROKEN PHONE, AWESOME!

i agree with post #21. But anyway, i need and i want this phone.

It's the fianl test for mobile phones: Can they survive in the hands of hyperactive jouranlists? This one couldn't.

Not as bad as breaking an unbreakable diamond tether.

Diamonds are not unbreakable. they shatter pretty easily. The are hard but brittle.

Hope he got his promised free phone.

There's a difference between being unbreakable, and having the screen smashed repeatedly against the sharp edge of a fish tank.

Well this just means the people who made the phone have a new task to do to make it unbreakable

It still took him a few attempts. I'd say that thing could survive a 10 story drop, Need to make the iPhone like this
