After having my brand new n900 slip off my lap in a dramatic moment of Avatar recently: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...1&postcount=17

You think I would've learnt

Instead, I was on the treadmill at the gym, running.....and thought
"Wouldn't it be nice to listen to Interstate Love Song by the Stone Temple Pilots"

So I open the keyboard and start keying it in S....T....O....N....

Then I catch my foot on the edge, lose balance and swing my arm down to compensate. I catch the earphone cord and rather then pulling out of my ear's I 'Slingshot' my n900 down about 1.5 meters (while keyboard open) onto the moving treadmill. It then gets catapulted out the back and along the concrete floor about 2 meters.

Heart Attack..... Disappointment......worry.....

I pick it up and it has turned off....Oh Oh.

Hit the power button.........

She lights up. I give her a full checkover and all seems ok on the operating side.

I have a black rubberized-plastic case from ebay and screen protector. I can confirm that the n900 made it through this ordeal untouched.

Man - you'd think I dont like this thing the way I'm treating it

If you have got mutton hands like me I suggest protecting your n900
