I dunno but i reckon its a setup, the sound of the snap comes after she actually snaps it, though saying that being that thin i can imagine its fairly weak

no surprise there then. I've been through endless "thin" gadgets that have broken like this, most notably for me would be 3 Rex Pro's before I gave up!

No its not a setup at all..its very real alright.
breaking something thats basically mostly plastic,and with something so thin would be quite easy!

one of "them" is a PCMCIA organiser with LCD display originally made by Xircom but bought out by Franklin that could sync with the PC
I had the original Xircom unit but then got the Franklin update because it had touch screen capability
unfortunately being the size it was you stuck it in your back pocket and like the samsung here, snapped and broke very easily
if mobile companies are going to make devices this thin they really need to look at laptop screen technology and use strong materials to ensure their strength

don't know if it can be broken that easy,one must bear in mind that the phone has electronics inside,it's not an empty shell,although as some guy from said,the components inside aren't screwed,they are just cramed in there,plus it doesn't have a metallic interior like some phone do,it's just plain cheap plastic

According what i have seen in the Pics from the Interior of the phone the bulk of the circuitry is in the top half of the phone behind the screen,that leaves the botton half which just contains the kepad and battery!
See what's inside the slimmest X820

according to the picturre posted by axxxr you can clearly see that she snapped it at the weakest point,how could those stupid designers even think of such a construction. If you see,the upper part of the phone is solid due to the interior componens and the bottom part holds the battery which is also solid.Thus the weakest part is where the battery cover closes (this resulting the fact that is not a continuos piece o plastic but two parts which offer no resistance) and also it is between the components and the baterry,where again there are 2 pieces not one so again it has no resistance.So the only resistance at that point is made by the front cover which is one big piece of not reinforced plastic which can be easily broken.Stupid design
