accidents?... uff lots of them! but for me, the most serious was at home when my T39m has escaped from my hands on stairways, It fell since 2nd to 1st floor and survived... I just couldn't believe it when I checked all his functions. In my view, T39 would have a resistance "ranking" of 9/10 (arbitrarily... if something worst happens could be 10/10
)

what about yours phones? have them survived to accidents?

Here goes: I don't remember if it was my S868 or my T18, but anyway... I put the phone on top of my car to put something else in, then I hopped in and drove away. Well my driving style is... how should I put it... incredibly aggressive. 20 or 30 meters later, after gaining some speed I had to brake and I could clearly see my phone sliding down the windshield to the hood and then coming to a halt several meters in front of the car. Picked it up and was unable to see any harm. This is one of my many stories!

No, the T39 is the one without a scratch. The car story is about one of my older phones.

EDIT:
As I've said, it was one of my older phones - and I did state that i do not remember which one was involved. Here is the post just for you, GoH:
As for my old T20e - I forgot it on the top of my car and started driving. The first time i hit the brakes I saw it sliding down the windshield. Picked it up and was still working (had to restart it though - the sim must have moved).

And I also have another meaningful story about a 688 or 888, It did not happen to me, but it came from a very reliable source - one of my clients and a friend of my father's.
Apparently he was in the middle of nowhere and had to use the bathroom. Well, the crapper was a Turkish one, so there is no toilet bowl. The man had the phone in his chest pocket so when he bent forward the phone slides down and away it goes. Now this man had too much respect for himself to put his hand down the toilet and search for the phone in the pile of crap. So he goes back into the bar and tells the story. One of the villagers there goes to the bathroom, puts his hand in, picks up the phone and brings the phone back (imagine the smell). Now the only thing to do was to wash the damn thing thoroughly. So what do you think they do? THEY HOSE THE PHONE. Then they use a blow-dryer to dry it up (although as far as I know this is highly not recommended since it may melt some contacts). Result: the next day the phone worked beautifully (and smell-free).

My T68i survived when my 3 year old cousin threw it out of window. 1 floor down and on the hard concrete! I had to change external body. But luckily no major damage. It still works fine.

having it on my lap while driving the car.
going down the car.
the phone dropping on the concrete road.
me not noticing it.
stepping on it with full force.
i heard it crunch like i stepped on a dead tree branch.
oh well, that was an N3210.
my T68 fell from my lap too when i went down the car.
luckily i didnt step on it.
and more luckily, my P800 hasnt experienced that yet.

Last thursday i woke up to find small baggy skinned creatures with wide eyes had taken me to there planet, they did some probing with a kind of laser thing, i was offered a nice cup of tea afterwards (it DEFFINATELY wasnt cows milk) then they put me back in a light sleep & dropped me off in the day time (bit strange) anyway later that evening i filled up the internal memory on my P8 & froze it, i had to take it to a service center to get the update to R2F, now wofks fine, not sure if the two things are linked or not.

Sooo... All my 3 phones were happy. They only falled or were thrown. Only one of them doesn't work now - lg g7000. But it worked badly when I've bought it... Siemens m35 is now the phone of my grandmother, and I still use my t310. But I saw an accident not with my phone, but with phone of one girl. When we were in aquapark, she sprang into water, forgotten that the mobile was in her pocket... The phone was cracked. Next day she lost her sim card. Unluckily...

The worse thing I've done with my P800........One night I was on my way out the door to get something out of my car with my P800 in my hand. It was dark and I couldn't see, dropped it on the corner of the brick steps next to the door. It put a couple of marks on it but nothing other then that, and the battery cover, battery, stylus, duo, fell out. But it works fine. Now my T28w is another story, ran it over with my car by mistake, didn't notice it had left my pocket. So I stopped the car looked around, found it on the ground. The flip was broked and the mic quit working, other then that it worked fine. Really hard trying to find a new faceplate for one of those.

i once dropped my old nokia 6510 down a 2 storey flight of concrete stairs, it slid along the floor and hit a door. the door was then opened by someone, sliding the phone along the floor, and acting as a doorstop. the only thing that happened to it was a broken back plate which was fixed with one of those ever-available nokia kits
wow. i loved that phone... all those years ago

@ferrarista44 - luckily it was your t68 and n3210 that have had those experience, it was my P800 that suffered from that kind of fall.....though i never stepped on it.

It was this summer. One of my friends had the good idea to push me into the swimming pool. Unfortunately, my T300 was in my pocket.I noticed the fact that my phone was in my pocket when I was trying to get out of the swimming pool and I feel it vibrate !! I think I'm a lucky boy ;-)
Posted by Oco
That means your T300 works normally?
Have you removed the battery and wait for your mobile was dried up before turn it on?

well, i was stopping at my dads house who live with 2 other men and its the main party house in my town (V SMALL) and i left my nokia in the kitchin on charge and when i went to get it, it had gone so i look all over for it i decided it had been nicked and foned it to my suprise it was in a pan full of water in the kitchin and still worked fine!!
shame it was a nokia tho!
's loads better

Well not exactly my phone but a mates. And i never caused the accident. Last week my mate was showing off with his new nokia and on the night we went out. He was on the otherside of the road with this new nokia phone in his shirt pocket. Anyway to cut a long story short he run over the road, his phone fell out of his pocket and the bus coming went over it. I assume it never survived.

My worst was with my old t28w it fell out of my hands to the roadway and I kicked it 10 meters!! But it survived :-)

Being the clumsy buffoon that I am, I have managed to drop every phone I've ever had, so they are always small scratches etc. on them.
But my best phone accident was kinda impressive.
Trying to unlock my car with my hands full, dropped my T68i, it bounced (quite impressive really) straight under the wheels of a London black cab! Picked up the bits (screen was shattered, the battery was out of shape, the casing was all cracked with bits missing) forced the battery back on, and yet it still managed to switch on!
Also for the record I'm on my third P800, the first went wrong (wouldn't make or receive calls), the second went for a swim in a glass of Pepsi (worked for a while). So far number three is in pristine nick!
All I can say is thank god for insurance!

My boyfriend had a motorcycle accident with my old Ericsson GA628. The phone went flying down the highway at 80km/hr and the battery separated from the phone.
Surprisingly, it is alive and well and has since been passed down to his sister.

My apologies to all. But I never had an accident with that of any of my fones (all of 20 of them), max. was 3 at a time - WHY ?????????????? Because I am not a RISK taker, I always take good care of my things, not only celfones - but all, even my girlfriend, I never dropped her, not even once. Only when we are in bed of course ! tah tah !
