Is that a nokia 5140?
I had one and broke the screen as well.

I wouldn't expect any screen to be that durable; to be fair it did take a few hits. XD

Meh. It happens. Saying it's unbreakable is like asking for disaster. Titanic, anyone??? Anyways, very funny. You don't see that happen everyday. It reminds me of one infomercial in particular though...

Good try at a playoff by both guys, though.

This is why you should never believe those advertisements are true if they spend more money on it than quality control.

also instead of calling it indestructible. say "break resistant up to X lbs/sq inch". thought of this when i remembered some watches are water resistant up to a certain depth.

This thing is, though, that they don't have physicists in their marketing department.

If all companies did, I think you would see something more like that. Still, marketers are trying to market a product and go off what they know. If nobody tells them the phone can break, how could they think otherwise? xD

The real question is "why do you want an unbreakable phone"? Who drops there phone over the side of a building anyway? Who holds phone calls under water?

It's not needed in the slightest. Most phones can survive you dropping them on the floor so the angle there coming at is completely wrong anyway i think. Not to meantion it looks ugly.
