If you are truly mad enough to try this but I am sure it is a sturdily built phone can last some falls but kids don't try this at home.

I have to say that it's because the T68 is so robust that convinced me to get the phone. I had an Ericsson r310, probably the most bomb proof phone ever made, but it was slow and getting outdated. I had apprehensions about upgrading to a t68, because it looked so puny, til one day while wall climbing, I was watching this guy deal with a overhang about 40ft up. Suddenly I see this phone slip out of his pocket, fall onto concrete, bounce across the floor and finally settle in the gutter. The guy climbing continues his route, then comes down, gets his phone back from his mate who picked it up with hardly a scratch on it! He made a couple of calls after, maybe to check it if everything was in order, and it was. I was in a mild shock. When I recovered, my mind was made up. Got my phone the next day. |

Whole heartedly agree on the robustness of the t68....had a bad scare just the eve of xmas...wuz at a pub and dropped my handset accidentally on to the cold hard concrete floor....to make matters worst, i then kicked it (coz it wuz kinda dark) when i went looking for it and it bounced off the wall.....i was devastated man!!! but upon closer examination, only the edge above the volume slider was scratched and slightly dented.....tried making a few calls and it works, tried shaking it some and there were no jinggly noises inside.....wuz even able to receive calls....thank god.....

I have yet to drop my T68i, so I cant vouch for its strength.
But I did 'accidentally' put my Nokia 8250 into a ceiling fan, it smashed the X-press on cover, and the screen, cracked the frame. Managed to get it all fixed for $100 AUD.
Oh yeah, my hand hurt like hell for a few days too. I think I broke something.  |

my friend is pretty clumsy with phones and he doesnt seem to hv put a single scratch on the T68i.. he's dropped a mil times and nothing..
I wonder if the resistance is as good with the P800.. I'm not willing to take the risk lol
I dunno, nokia seems to hv strong phones too.. the only thing that cracks is the faceplate.. but blah.. they r like 10$... my friend's 3390 flew out of his shirt pocket for around 3-5m onto solid concrete on the street.. only the faceplate busted..
the phone was in tact... I've dropped my 8890 mil of times, and all I hv is a bit of paint scratched off.. nothing noticeable..
then there r the clumsy ppl, I just cant understand how ppl break phones like that!

Yup there strong, I was like sitting on this brick wall.. went to grab my phone to check the time, and it sliped outa my hand; smacked the brick wall, then feel to the concrete floor below... I figured i just broke it, but it worked after cleaning some dirt off it.
I think people like nokia phones, since the price generaly seems cheaper.. but then if you look around you can get it for free.. my t68i didnt cost me a cent. |

A friend of mine wanted to kill his T39 to get a new one off the insurrance. He first tried dipping it in water, but nothing happened until he started sending SMS with the phone under water!
after a few days, when the phone dried up, it worked normally..
I myself had a T39, but probably managed to break someting in the antenna (after dropping it a mil times..). The antenna didn't come off, but it suddenly couldn't connect to any network. So now i have a T68i and love it
