No mention of how from how high the drops were made but i presume they were dropped from the usual arm lengths position.

Then what about all the things we heard that the n91's hard drive would be damaged even on the slightest mechanical shock, leave alone 300 drops ?!?! |

thats what i was figuring, they said a "tumble" maybe they put it on their lap, then stood up and let it fall/tumble... that happened to me MANY times hahaha
Its good to be back! |

Was the phone ON when they dropped it?
Also do they talk about the phone or the hard drive?
And did they drop the phone outside or indoors?
Maybe they dropped it indoors 10cm on a pillow 300 times with the phone off |

Seppe welcome to esato....
It is rather amazing that a phone can be dropped 300 times and not suffer to some degree.However it remains to be seen if this is the case in the real world.

thanks 
it is quite amazing if no harm would be done after dropping it 300 times, especially with all those hightech features |

300 times!!! That's rather a lot, I reckon they weren't dropping it onto stone. Having said that the Ipod mini lasted only 12 drops that's can't be good!!! |
