I do like my sexy smartphone, and - much to my surprise - find it useful and a help in my daily life.

But damn, wouldn't it be nice if they actually made one that was chunky, substantial and built to withstand, oh, I don't know, minor collisions and immersion in hot tea.

All my blackberries have been pretty rugged, and I'm rough on phones.

Countless drops, countless punting-while-attempting-a-foot-saves, actually ran my 8830 over with my truck.

I can't vouch for total immersion, but I've spilled beer on them more times than seems feasible.

They're not on Nokia level of nuclear resistance, but it does the fancy shit I need for running a business while taking a beating.

Accidental.

It was on my lap when I got out, fell to the ground.

Drove off again before I realized it was missing, found it smashed face-down into the gravel.

Dusted it off and it was fine.

I dropped my curve 8520 from about 4 foot and the trackpad shit itself. It wouldn't work at all and surprisingly there was no alternative button to scroll up/down so I was stuck. I could only read my last email or phone back the last person who called me. When I phoned support they kept trying to get me to navigate to the trackpad settings to increase the sensitivity....

[–]RedditRedneck 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

My 8830 had the trackball, and while it would always get gummed up with grime, it was easy enough to clean and keep functional.

My 9900 has the trackpad, and I haven't had any problems with it despite all the abuse I dish out.

A quick google search shows replacement trackpads for $4, so I'm sure you could get it locally for $10. The phone itself is pretty easy to dismantle & clean, installing the pad shouldn't be bad.

Luckily enough my blackberry is my work phone so I managed to get a replacement after going round the block a few times with the our service providers support team. I promptly bought a rubber casing for it after the fiasco so now it bounces when I drop it. No other problems with it in two years and I've got a 13 month old son who loves to chew on it.

It's called a Casio Commando. It's completely waterproof and you can just about throw it against a wall full force without any damage. Mine is awesome. Also, since it's waterproof you can take some pretty badass underwater pictures/video.

The Casio G'zOne phones are built to MIL-STD-810G certification. The stock ROM is pretty bad, but a custom Android flash and it's actually a really good phone that is water, dust, and shock resistant to military specs. Definitely survives a small fall, no problem.

My dad found one of those exact phones completely submerged in mud one day. He was riding a fourwheeler in on a trail in Branson, Missouri and his front tire kicked it up out of the sludge. Took it home, dried it off, and you guessed it: it still worked.

We mailed it to the couple that lost it. Called "Home", got their address, and reunited them with their little warrior.

I know... I've been saying for a while now that everyone's paying too much attention to the Android vs. iPhone battle. I think the real mover & shaker in the mobile space over the next few years is going to be Nokia and Windows Phone 7.

I like my iPhone, but who the hell decided to make it glass on both sides? There's definitely a market for a beautiful, rugged, and high-performance smartphone. I believe Nokia might be able to pull it off.

Or samsung for that matter. I've dropped my Captivate Galaxy S a dozen times and it still is barely scratched. I hope the GSII phones are just as rugged, because I love this to death. And as a kicker, it has slightly better internal hardware than the Iphone does.

The 3310 is the best mobile phone ever made. I also went back to it when newer phones failed on me lots of times.

I dropped my Samsung S2 onto bricks from about 4ft at New Year while quietly pickled. The plastic bit on the back popped off a little but it still works! Go Samsung.

I had mine for so long that all the markings on the casing had worn/scratched off and the plastic tabs wore down so that the battery panel needed duct tape to stay on, but it still worked fine. One day in the elevator a coworker made fun of my "ghetto" phone so without saying a word I hurled it at the floor and it exploded into 5 pieces (front plate, back plate, battery, buttons, circuitry). My coworker: "Dude, wtf are you insane?!" Me: Silently picks up pieces, snaps them back together, turns on phone and proceeds to make a call. Coworker: "Woahhhhh..."

Although I never had this confirmed by a cell phone engineer, I always suspected that batteries and the backs are supposed to pop off on impact to dissipate some energy. When the battery and cover are flung away, they take energy that would otherwise have to be absorbed by the device.

On a related note, my friend dropped his Samsung galaxy from the pocket of his motorcycle. retraced his route, and found the phone and battery near the side of the road, while the battery cover was never recovered, but the thing still works.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

This would make sense. The back of the S2 is very flexible, thin plastic with several "poppable" clips holding it in place. Seemed almost flimsy when I was initially putting it on and the device itself is very thin and almost bendable. I'd imagine that goes a long way towards absorbing the energy of impacts.

Wheras an iPhone, being a hand-crafted thing of immense non-take-apartability probably isn't designed with that in mind.

Dropped my HTC HD2 from pocket height (1.5m, 5ft) on a bathroom flooring tile breaking it. Swam with it in a tropical lake (accidentally) for 3 minutes. Dropped it numerous other times on asphalt (didn't break the road - it's not a Nokia).

Still works fine. Only a superficial scratch on the screen from the flooring tile and a minor bump corner from the asphalt.

[edit] Oh, and this is the bare phone. No cases or corners or whatever - not even a window-protecting foil.

[–]Tonrific 69 points70 points ago

I remember reading a screenplay for a movie, where in the beginning there was an astronaut working on the International Space Station. The astronaut dropped a screwdriver and could not complete his work.

In the same time in Manhattan a business clerk driving a car and being in a traffic jam was talking to his boss on a nokia. The boss was shouting at this guy because he apparently was a moron and was about to get fired. "What a fucking great day" said the poor guy and took an apple from his glove compartment. He opened the window and stretched his left arm so the apple was outside the car, and suddenly the screwdriver hit the apple.

Needless to say, the movie hasn't been filmed.

False. Even if it broke orbit and managed to head towards Earth again it would burn up while entering the atmosphere.

[–]SatanicBug 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Double false! The screwdriver would not be able to gather enough speed to burn up as it is too light and the ISS is in orbit just on the outskirts of our atmosphere. also a screwdriver does not have a very high resistive surface area for the air's friction to act on. Most likely the screwdriver would stay in orbit for a long time before eventually falling to earth and probably landing in the ocean relatively unharmed.

Compared to my iPhone 4, I never had a Nokia which weighed as much, was as big or as bulky.

Not complaining, I love it, but the "old cellphones were big and bulky" stereotype doesn't really apply any more, since 2008 the trend has been towards bigger and bulkier phones (albeit far more powerful).

Mom once dropped her Nokia 53xx something orange phone from 9 stories up. When we got downstairs, some dude was holding the phone saying there is nothing wrong with it.

We checked the phone and the vibration wasn't working. The phone itself was fully functional.

If you were to eat a Nokia, it would cure you of any diseases.

[–]guizzy 9 points10 points ago*

Because Nokia was big and forceful, and the US's oligarchy of wireless providers were much more in control than the ones Nokia were used to dealing with (due to a fragmented marketplace and the cost of covering the whole country). These providers didn't want to play by Nokia's rules, so they shunned Symbian smartphones and encouraged WinMo and Blackberry instead, to terrible sales outside of the business segment. Europe had been enjoying consumer smartphones much before the iPhone exploded.

When Americans consumers "discovered" smartphones with the iPhone, the technology press focussed around the US, which still pretty much ignores Nokia (a tad less now with WP7). This is why despite the fact they had the largest marketshare of smartphone sales (and mobile phones in general) up until recently, you barely even heard about Nokia and Symbian.

tl;dr : Because the tech press is mostly situated in the US bubble of Nokia-lessness.

I was traveling through Uganda once and needed to pee. This particular bathroom was just a simple hole in the cement floor. So I stood over the hole and began peeing. As I was peeing my phone rang. I pulled out with the hand that wasn't holding my junk and apparently didn't have a very good grip on the phone. It slipped out of my hand and fell into the poo hole.

So is this a meme now? Nokia cellphones are indestructible? Next are we going to see Bruce Banner turn into a Nokia? Tony Stark wearing a giant Nokia? Superman: Man of Nokia? See a press conference of a team drilling to the center of the earth. What's their drill made out of? Nokia.

WHen a girl dumped me via text when I was 17, I hurled my 3210 at the ground. It broke into four pieces, the phone, the battery, the back cover and the SIM card. After looking for the SIM card for ages, I managed to find it in the garden outside, adjacent to an open window. After slotting it all back together, it worked for me for another two years. Then I dropped it one foot onto bathroom tile while pulling my pants up and the screen shattered. I will never understand this.

I owned a Nokia 1100. Bought a smartphone, but believe me, everytime I see the 1100, the buttons appear like a fucking 12-pack. When I feel poisoned by all the smartphone tech, I always go back to it, just to feel like I'm using an actual phone.
