Have u guys ever droped your new w800 or k750?
I have heard that its just a matter of time before the phone breaks down after droping it, some components take damage, and its not necessary you notice anything for the first month. Better not drop it

Might want to avoid throwing it in the toilet, pouring lighter fluid on it, leaving it on the stove, using it as a football, spraypainting it flourescent green (with case on) or pretending it's a lightsabre and having duels to the death with it too. Those things are what the T237 was made for!

Am I glad my W800i hasn't dropped yet ... and I hope it won't!
My S700i once took a very painful fall ... No real hardware or brain damage, but although it didn't look very well after the way down to the ground

"I was walking towards my car, on a rainy day ... when my S700i suddenly slipped out of my pocket ... It was just a matter of tiny seconds to see the Sony Ericsson product make a beautiful fall on the wet parking floor ... There it was, all scratched and hurt ... Pain everywhere ... most of all in my heart "

I once dropped my T68i out of a window four floors on to concrete. As my phone was in a good case (Krusell), it sustained nothing more than a displaced volume rocker.

Buy a case!

I dropped my K750 on the first day I had it. I passed it to my friend who failed to cop hold of it and it crashed into the concrete! Only minor scratches to the case though. Mid you I wasn't too happy at the time!

I had a K750 pretty much as soon as they were released and nothing has gone wrong with it. I'm sure the K750 can stand up to a bit of punishment as most mobiles do.

Yeah - one month after getting my K750i (and LOVING IT) I was out in the sea taking a pic of my boy surfing... and dropped the boody thing in the sea! Took it to vodafone and it's just plain broken.
So I looked on our business account and found that we'd got a couple of datacard accounts that were due for upgrades (they're not going to need new phones as they've got the datacards), so Voda gave me a brand new W800 - mwahahaha! Love that too! (better headphones, bigger memory - not sure about the colour yet!)

Maybe, but sometimes you dont see any damagement after 3-5 month, dont know if thats true though?

I dropped my k750 on the edge of a metal bucket. It had some white paint marks from the bucket that I managed to buff out, but the housing near the screen got bent. Now it juts out a little under the screen.
