That sounds like the Achilles heel for the brick that was the Motorola
StarTac. Even after cracking my LCD by having the bag of CD's it's was
clipped to smack it into a concrete floor, the phone was otherwise
un-damageable.
Hell I threw it up 2 stories to fall on concrete trying to destroy it
when the insurance co. insisted they wanted the core back as part of the
replacement (after charging $50). Nothing more than a few dibits in the
plastic, gotta love the old ABS plastic cells. Try that with any modern
cell with the possible exception of the ruggedized motorola NextTel
sells. =)

I have had a Motorola T720i flip phone for a couple of years and the

I had a Nokia a few years back that I managed to drop while getting out
of the car. It survived, face up in two inches of snow overnight. The
only damage was the LCD which I cracked driving over it with studded tires.
