Saying that it's not fair because they broke it at the weakest point is pointless. Everything breaks at its weakest point. A manufacturer should always make sure that the weakest point(s) on its product are strong enough.
On the other hand since the phone snaps inn the middle it can be turned into a DIY clamshell with a lttle tape 
I don't want a signature anymore. |

Some industry sources believe it to be a fake.The MD of one handset manufacturer, who has seen the video, said'Did they saw halfway through it first? It seemed to snap very easily. I'm sure they would test it first and not allow it to go out like that'.
A retailer stocking the phone commented that the phone would have to be taken apart and put back together minus the circuit board in the middle to snap like that. 'It has to be a wind up', he said.
Others are not quite so convinced, with some sceptical retailers even tempted to have a go at breaking one themselves. One reported that as soon as he put a small amount of pressure on the device, it began to creak. 'If I were to try, I could snap one of these in half with minimum effort, I just can't afford to risk it', said another.
Samsung has so far declined to comment on the video.

Like I said when I saw it in person, I'd probably break it. Sometimes thin isn't always best. They went for too much with this one. I don't want anything so delicate. Gee.

Have you actually tried bending one?....i personally think its quite possible to snap one in half as shown in the video.

The D900 is a slider and a lot more solid in comparison.
