What I can say is that when I dropped my iPhone 3G from waist height (I didn't throw it to the floor or anything, it just slipped out of my hand), the glass was fine, but there was a crack in the LCD underneath. Over the following weeks, I got more and more "stuck" gray pixels around the crack, until half my screen was gray. I managed to take it to the apple store and have them replace the LCD a week before my warranty expired.
I haven't dropped my new HTC Aria yet (and hopefully never will, but we'll see), but if I do, I hope nothing similar happens.

Do you even [b]OWN[/b] one?
You complain like my little brother. :bravo2:[/QUOTE]
You don't need to own a phone of glass to know that glass breaks, derp.

Besides there is several articles out about how it breaks easily.
No one is saying the iPod Touch or any iPhone except the iPhone 4 is prone to glass cracking when dropped.
I like how a discussion on the durability of [B]all[/B] cellphones turns into an argument about the iPhone imediately.
Anyway. My Motorola L7 was practicaly indestructable, its been thrown at concrete, dropped in the sea and it still works.

Bullshit.
I dropped mine. Once. Screen cracked:

Later on the crack would develop to have 4-5 large cracks running down the screen. One was manageable, 5 was not.
Why do I get the urge to push the screen as hard as I can just to watch it shatter....

HOW HARD IS IT TO READ?
Jesus fucking fuck, I said the IPHONE 4, IT'S MADE OF GLASS.
Jesus christ.
I dropped my K800i loads of times, even in the rain. Its still working :smile:
I wish i had a carbon fiber phone.
Anyways, I think in the future they will make truly unbreakable phone 'glass' made form polymers or something like it.
A bit of my own ambitions is to help research/create it :science:
iPhone's aren't at all durable. My friend dropped his once, instant screen-crack. My dad dropped his the other day off the coffee-table, had to order a new screen.
Now the Nokia 3310, THAT is a tank.
The 3G I've got is fairly durable. I dropped it on the road once and it got a small dent in the plastic. Last week though, it went face first into the pavement with force and [url=http://f.w3k.id.au/iP/iPhone.jpg]this happened[/url]. $100 and 2 hours later, fixed. I'd say that's pretty damn good for weak old glass to not damage any other part of the phone.

I have a 3GS, I've dropped it about 5 or 6 times now, everything still works fine and no cracks whatsoever. When I say drop, I mean around chest level to the ground.

Nokia 3510i was fucking indestructible too
I've seen a test video of Nokia N900 and how hard is it to scratch the screen with a key, yet mine somehow got scratched while being inside my pocket with nothing else in it.
Goddamnit.

Learn to fucking read. Please.
Also, you're usually not gonna cause any lasting damage of you drop the phone on its back since they're usually light enough not to get too damaged, and there are very few moving parts in there, and everything's tightly held down. Dropping it on the screen though is when bad things happen, as glass is fucking brittle, no matter what chemicals you treat it with. Since the iPhone 4 has glass on both sides, you're 1% more likely to end up breaking something.

Fuck yes. My father's still works. He has dropped it more times than he can remember.

Was a great phone until my dumbass sister started drawing shit all over it.
I dropped my cell phone on concrete, no damage taken, I dropped it on my carpeting, fucking 3 scratches. How does that work?
Nokia N-gage is unbreakable had my for 7 years still use it if i'm going to the beach or something hazardous i dont want to fuck up my Nokia N900.
It's the first n-gage "elephant ear when speaking", but it's fucking solid as fuck, the casing is pretty messed upp and the upper right part is cracked after behind hit by a paintball trough my pocket 4years ago.
I always get nokia since the fins know what the fuck they are doing.
I dropped my HD2 a few times from waist height/off a table that is waist height, not a scratch on it. Still has the new smell too, and the new smell from taking the battery out...mmm!
You can play hackey-sack with my phone.

I fucking double dare you find a way to break it that is related to everyday use.

Take note, this fell from only 1 foot.
Droid incredible can survive 10 minutes on fire

My LG cookie kp500 is resilient as a fuck. Ive dropped it, send it flying meters away, and its intact. It only has a few scratches on the plastic protection of the screen, which is removable and replaceble.
Get a LG Xenon, I've dropped it 20 times, it's still good as new.
Laminated glass and plastic screens along with no moving parts make phones very strong
I know how they make them so durable,
BUBBLE WRAP, DUHHH..
I put my iPod touch through the washing machine and it survived. It wasn't even turned off at the time.
The Droid is also crazy durable. It's made of metal with a rubber coating or some shit. I've dropped it and sat on it and put it in my pocket with my keys, and the only damage so far is a tiny little scratch on the screen that you can only see if there's glare, and the gold stuff peeled off of the camera button so now it's white.
I dropped my old Rzr like a lot still fine. But my new one, not so lucky. I dropped it once and the battery life shortened. :wtc:
I dropped my iPhone 3GS in a lake. It was underwater for probably 10 seconds. Nothing happened. It glitched for the first day, then the second day it went back to normal. Warranty's gone, but whatever.
I had a Sony ericsson W200i and it was one hell of a machine
just the other day before I got myself a new phone i removed the cover from so the transparent plastic won't get broken and threw it from the third floor into water
the phone was still working I just had to put it back together and dry it also i had to change the battery, cause it was d
after that i was using it for listening to music cause the speakers are good
but yesterday my granpa destroyed it by driving across it with his lawn mower(at least the memory card stayed in one part)
