My P800 is now one of a kind!
It fell out of my pocket last night and down on a wooden floor.
The screen is now very interactive in a way that gives it a life of it's own... It flickers like crazy in shades of purple and blue.
It has been throug a lot this phone of mine so I was very suprised to find out that a 40-50cm drop actually knackered the screen.
Guys! Make sure your phones are thurruly tucked deep in your pockets when you sit down!

Yeah, I know.
I just thought I'd warn people, yet again, how easily done it is to do these kinds of things.

I dropped my P800 last week onto a driveway! no damage this time tho. I was very lucky, could have killed the screen or the whole fone.

Hej Tranquil, sorry for u m8... but what i dont understand is:
I dropped mine many and really many times from heights of 1 meter more and less, and nice nothing cracked or broke, just 2 hours ago i dropped mine from a desk in the house, height: 80cm > first time the back of the p800 opened, the p800 fell on its side and the battery was thrown away 
Must be lucky cause nothing broke and the p800 still works fine

Did you touched wood after writing that post Sweet Heart?
Knowledge is two fold. Knowing a subject or knowing where to find out about a subject. I rely on both... That is why I come here.  |

Once i dropped my p800 from about 2 metres on to a carpeted floor. The Duo popped out at an arkward angle and i had to pull it out with a bit of force. P800 was fine no problems.
Once i was putting up a shelf in my garage i was on a step ladder the p800 fell from about 3 minutes on solid concrete besides a small scratch on the top the phone was not damaged in any way.
Moral of the storyMy p800 seems to defiy the laws of physics.

It's quite amazing actually to see how much/little it takes to knacker a phone.
Years back I had a GH388 (I think thats' what it was called...), I dropped it down a flight of concrete stairs and was pretty sertain it had had it. Oh no... Not a scratch!
When I got my next phone I decided to check what my old phone could actually take. Threw it in the wall, up in the air, down on the ground... All this with all my strength. It just wouldn't pack it in!!! Finally I drove over it with my car. That killed it... And punched a punkture in my wheel.
Now my phone slide out of my pocket, when I'm sitting down, on to a wooden terrasse floor and breaks.

You make me laugh!!!!!!!!!! That is one huge ladder!!! a 3 minute fall?? and your p800 is still alive?? I think a 3 minute fall at 30km/h(which should be the correct speed) is about a 1.66666km FALL!!!!! I could not clime a ladder that high!!!:)
Jokes aside...I think if the P800 lands on one of the top corners it will crack the screen! Its just how lucky you are when it lands!!!
@Vermania you are very lucky! |
