My last phone was an N95 8gb. I loved using the sports tracker. I would mount the N95 on the handlebars of my street bicycle and have google maps, sports tracker, and music (mp3, FM, or internet radio!). Everything you'd get in a car minus the air conditioning. Well one day I was having too much fun and stayed out past dark. On the way home twilight made it hard to see every bump in the road. (Now understand this is not a mountain bike, its one of those with no suspension and skinny tires pumped up to 120psi.) So here I come, going about 25 mph and I see just too late the next bit of cement has been split and raised 3 inches by roots. Slamming on the brakes just helped to throw me forward and over the handlebars.

I got up with a broken wrist and no idea where my N95 was. I unclipped my bike headlight and found the phone. No battery. Some more searching turned up the battery, but no door. Eventually I found the door. Put it all back together and everything worked perfectly, even the micro-mechanisms in the camera! I couldn't believe it.

Takes a licking and keeps on ticking. That being said, I don't mount my N900 on my handlebars.
