accidents?... uff lots of them! but for me, the most serious was at home when my T39m has escaped from my hands on stairways, It fell since 2nd to 1st floor and survived... I just couldn't believe it when I checked all his functions. In my view, T39 would have a resistance "ranking" of 9/10 (arbitrarily... if something worst happens could be 10/10  )

what about yours phones? have them survived to accidents? |

Here goes: I don't remember if it was my S868 or my T18, but anyway... I put the phone on top of my car to put something else in, then I hopped in and drove away. Well my driving style is... how should I put it... incredibly aggressive. 20 or 30 meters later, after gaining some speed I had to brake and I could clearly see my phone sliding down the windshield to the hood and then coming to a halt several meters in front of the car. Picked it up and was unable to see any harm. This is one of my many stories!

No, the T39 is the one without a scratch. The car story is about one of my older phones.

EDIT:
As I've said, it was one of my older phones - and I did state that i do not remember which one was involved. Here is the post just for you, GoH:
As for my old T20e - I forgot it on the top of my car and started driving. The first time i hit the brakes I saw it sliding down the windshield. Picked it up and was still working (had to restart it though - the sim must have moved).

And I also have another meaningful story about a 688 or 888, It did not happen to me, but it came from a very reliable source - one of my clients and a friend of my father's.
Apparently he was in the middle of nowhere and had to use the bathroom. Well, the crapper was a Turkish one, so there is no toilet bowl. The man had the phone in his chest pocket so when he bent forward the phone slides down and away it goes. Now this man had too much respect for himself to put his hand down the toilet and search for the phone in the pile of crap. So he goes back into the bar and tells the story. One of the villagers there goes to the bathroom, puts his hand in, picks up the phone and brings the phone back (imagine the smell). Now the only thing to do was to wash the damn thing thoroughly. So what do you think they do? THEY HOSE THE PHONE. Then they use a blow-dryer to dry it up (although as far as I know this is highly not recommended since it may melt some contacts). Result: the next day the phone worked beautifully (and smell-free). |

My T68i survived when my 3 year old cousin threw it out of window. 1 floor down and on the hard concrete! I had to change external body. But luckily no major damage. It still works fine.

me not noticing it.
stepping on it with full force.
i heard it crunch like i stepped on a dead tree branch.
oh well, that was an N3210.
my T68 fell from my lap too when i went down the car.
luckily i didnt step on it.
and more luckily, my P800 hasnt experienced that yet.

Last thursday i woke up to find small baggy skinned creatures with wide eyes had taken me to there planet, they did some probing with a kind of laser thing, i was offered a nice cup of tea afterwards (it DEFFINATELY wasnt cows milk) then they put me back in a light sleep & dropped me off in the day time (bit strange) anyway later that evening i filled up the internal memory on my P8 & froze it, i had to take it to a service center to get the update to R2F, now wofks fine, not sure if the two things are linked or not. |

Sooo... All my 3 phones were happy. They only falled or were thrown. Only one of them doesn't work now - lg g7000. But it worked badly when I've bought it... Siemens m35 is now the phone of my grandmother, and I still use my t310. But I saw an accident not with my phone, but with phone of one girl. When we were in aquapark, she sprang into water, forgotten that the mobile was in her pocket... The phone was cracked. Next day she lost her sim card. Unluckily...
