On accident of course. I'm really clumsy with electronics with more than a few things I'm embarrassed to talk about. My $400 K850i is one of the cheaper things I've messed up from being clumsy, so that should tell you a bit..

So I broke my iPhone 2 weeks ago on a bicycle trip. Phone flew out of my pocket.. the screen cracked, and the touch sensitivity was lost. I could've repaired it, but that wasn't the first time I've damaged the iPhone.. so I didn't bother. I got my K850i a couple days after, and I really liked it compared to the iPhone. Not as convienient as my iPhone, but the 5MP camera some what made up for it.

But with all that being said, my K850i is FINE.. at least for now. It slipped out of my hands off the second story of my house and fell onto a marble floor. My plastic case popped off and my phone bounced a bit. The camera button was pushed out, so I pushed it back in. The only damage really is the mark I made on it getting the button back in place.

The camera works fine, phone still rings, still get emails.. seems like it all works. Any suggestions of what else I should make sure works fine?

I posted a thread earlier about switching to a Nokia N95 or E71 mainly for the smartphone features. But me being so clumsy, I'm not sure it's the right choice? These SE phones seem super tough. What do you guys think?

Dropped from 2nd floor and still living. Isn't that enough. Theses kind of incidents are much awaited by tv news channels in my country.

2nd floor? K850??
Wow, the K850 proves to be more durable than what a lot of people would think.

I remember there was a k750 dropped from the 3rd floor, so it keeps the record by now... But floor to floor they differ in height...

P.S. You know, when we are at dropping phones, it is better to drop the phone from 5th floor at least then dropping it in the toilet. hahahah you know where I mean.

I don't think that K850 can beat the K750 3rd floor fall record that easy. hahahaha
