Don't you love when these things happen live on TV?

Is it just me or did the theme tune to Titantic start playing in the background when I was watching this one? LOL.

Seriously though - claiming something as unbreakable has to be a stupid thing to do: at least add the caveat of 'in normal use' or 'virtually'.

Agree, or just mark it as robust or rugid. Unbreakable is just an invitation to break it :D

don't have the n900 yet, not to easy to order in ireland with no credit card, websites don't like my debit card. the only one i found has it as coming soon so i'm waiting on a mail back to confirm when. grrrr

anyway. i think the guys face is priceless, :eek: hahha
i might just buy one and keep breaking them haha just to see how many interesting ways i can break them. i might hammer nails with them to see if their right. :D

imo, the phone was still operational, altho the screen would need to be replaced and it was probably not water proof any more.

would have loved to see a closeup of the screen of that phone after it got said beating btw...
