To be fair, I've dropped mine (usually on hard concrete) more times than I cam remember, dropped it in a toilet (had not been used I'd like to add), it's been sat in an oven for 20 minutes and had several bodily fluids stained onto it, and my Curve 8900 is still working.
I bet your poncy iPhone wouldn't do that. Even though I most certainly am not getting an iPhone4 when I upgrade. :hide:
Actually Jamie, I've dropped my 3GS and 4 onto cement a couple times and it's still in fine condition. As for dropping it in water or getting "bodily fluids" (semen) on it.. I can't say I'm that careless.
I have ordered a motorola defy. It was meant to come this morning but when the post man handed me everything I didn't want then left I was a bit sad. I bet it will come tomorrow. I will post some pics after. Here is specs http://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_defy-3514.php. Dont get me wrong I usually hate any phone that says motorola on it but I really like this one. And it is waterproof is that not amazing
I dunno. I've had my iPhone 4 now for 6 months and there's not a scratch on the glass at all. I've dropped it, had it fly around my car, fall down my seat, drop off my bed onto the floor, and sits in my pocket with my keys all day.
People claim it's more fragile, but that's not what I find.
I've had my old iPhone 3 crash onto solid ground, 1 crack across the screen, but that's about it. Also I've seen a broken iPhone 4, and it didn't have nearly as many cracks as the phone imthebestracerthereis posted. Probably some very fragile glass there.
Dropped it in the parking garage one morning and got alittle mark in the top right of the actual phone (not screen) but hasn't bothered it a bit after I put a slim case on it.
Maybe Apple manufactured a super strong one for yourself. Who knows!?
Anyway, my friend recently went from an iPhone 4 to a Blackberry Torch and said it's better in some things and not as good in others. So overall, about the same.
It makes sense, I find it much easier to navigate the menus etc on the Blackberry than I do on an iPhone. I can also type more quickly and with more accuracy, and when I do make a mistake I can quickly correct it instead of having to fumble around on the screen trying to double tap and then highlight and ugh.
I've always admitted, for fun apps, games, etc, the iPhone is better. But as a tool, as a way of keeping your communications unified, I've yet to find a better platform than the Blackberry. Also, the cross platform apps, such as Google Maps, Instant messaging clients, etc, seem to work better on the Blackberry.
But that's just my opinion, even though I'm getting an iPhone 4 at next contract renewal, if Blackberry introduce a faster CPU for the Torch, I'll stick with what I know.
I still think blackberrys are useless. RIM is irrelevant right now in the mobile space.
Too many have an iPhone and that's a negative though? That's like saying "Too many people drive cars, I'm gonna use a ****ing horse and buggy.".. there's good reason why people use cars instead.
