Dropped mine twice: once on a carpeted floor from 4 feet. Another on a wooden floor and skidded across the room. No scratches yet :)

There was a similar topic here regarding dropping the T300 and I said there that I have never ever dropped a mobile phone, or other personal electronics (ipaqs, gps etc). in 15 years or so and this is still true.
I'm pretty happy about that too!

Whoa! I dropped mine DOWN THE STAIRS this friday, and it made it without any visible injuries. I think the gods love me. |

after i posted above i then proceeded to trap my p800 between the car door and car seat when shutting the door as it was it my jacket pocket then walked back into the office and dropped it on the floor! 
luckily it was in its case both times and no damage but i think i jinxed myself posing in the first place!

I was very drunk and slept in the top of a 2 level bed, about 1.9m above the floor, woke up the day after and saw my phone on the floor. I had a smaller heart attack, but my phone survived without even a scratch! Thats true swedish quality!

We should all treat the p800 like the small PC that it is, and not just as a phone. |

Dropped mine from about 1 meter (around three feet) on a concrete parking lot (tried to shove it into a nonexisting pocket in a new jacket ^_^ Geez! I feel dumb!). Without the provided SE bag, it'd certainly have broken to lots of tiny bits.  Phew! |

I dropped mine again for the second time around, Luckily it was from my bed to the floor is about 3 to 4 feet high and the wooden floor is carpeted, when I tested it it's working fine, Thank God, well, I guess it's really proven durable, and I won't let it happen again. |

You guys are lucky. My girlfriend dropped mine and broke the LCD screen. Sending off today £150.00 to be repaired. Worse thing is I treat my p800 like a baby and have never dropped it.

Hi Everyone,
You know what? Last night, (Oh my God), I dropped my p800 again for the 3rd time, FORTUNATELY it didn’t break. I also feel quite psychologically immuned already (after 3 drops  ) from worries that my p800 would break, first of all my room has wooden flooring with carpet, and based on what I’ve been hearing from you guys, I am confident that the p800 is really durable, hope this won’t happen again, I promise to myself.

Only dropped mine once - i tried to put the phone in the charger, but i didn't do it properly so it fell off the table, landed on my PC, and then fell onto a wooden floor. Absolutely nothing wrong with it.
When i first bought the phone with so many people smashing the screen the first thing i did was get Orange care (phone insurance) put on it, now i really don't think it's needed. The phone is as durable as any other. |

I got my p800 squished between my leg and the steering wheel in my car when I sat down. Had my phone in my right pocket in my pants. Display got smashed It's been on a trip around the country to get insurance things worked out and to be repaired now. It's been more than two weeks(!!)
So, if you have a SE phone in Norway, insured with netcom/telia, don't think you'll get it back soon!
Hate them!

Hi, guys. I wonder does the "made in" has anything to do with the durability? For guys that have smashed their phones pls tell me from where their phone are made? Cause i think maybe the one made in Sweden is more durable....Just a thought. |
