Dropped mine onto a kitchen tile, ended up with tiny scuff at the back. I dont believe other smartphones would have had a chance suriving what I have put N900 and 5800XM through. This is a key reaon why I will stick with Nokia.

Last week, I accidentally dropped my n900 onto my concrete driveway and ran it over with my truck. I quickly picked it up and drove through a tornado, whilst gun fighting terrorists (the n900 makes a pretty decent bullet shield). After the terrorists captured me, I escaped by dropping my phone in a shark infested tank. In one last ditch effort, the terrorists nuked the prison I was held in. My n900 proved to be too durable for the nuclear explosion and resulting radiation.

Oh yeah, my friends and I use it as a football.

Dropped mine 6 times now, the frame around the screen acts as a buffer and has protected the phone in every drop (From mass heights and on concrete floors.) I really am happy how well built nokias are.

A few years ago I dropped my N70 down a toilet in Kenya. I dried it out in the sun that day (had to watch out for the thieving monkeys and baboons) and although it lost a couple of pixels it worked fine.

I never got rid of the smell, though.

The next day I dropped it out on Safari. The day after we retrieved it even though it was 3' away from elephant dung and lion footprints...

and that's why I keep buying Nokia!

I have accidently dropped my N900 on tiled floor with keyboard open, from my truck on a bad terrain while taking a pic, and also momentary drop in water. Except few scratches on the frame it has survived all of these abuses. Thanks Nokia for making it so durable!! i-phone would sure be history should it fall on tiled floor even from small heights...

I "crashed" today on my E-moped in a turn on the icy roads, pretty sure i landed on the phone in my pocket... nothing to see..... :)

and if i can ask a question:
Does screen protector work, E.G can the touch screen still be used like normal, no loss of precision or anything?

im thinking about getting one and a new touch screen since i have 2 very small scratches....

Dropped mine a couple of times. Well, once was when it was charging on my desk at work. My colleague who sits at the desk opposite is always shoving his feet through a gap in the partition, always gets them tangled in the wires of my PC and then has a job to get free. I'm always giving him a beasting over it. One day he hooks the charger lead to my 900 and drags it onto the floor. My first thought was 'Sh*t that's the EMMC knocked off the board and the USB connector adrift'.
When I picked it up off the floor I noticed it was OK (screen and USB port-wise) so I switched it off and held it above the partition so he could see it and said "Nice going Batman". He was like :eek: *fart... fart* "Sorry, it was an accident". and was ready to buy me a new one. Rather stupidly I fessed up that it was OK later. :o
