Well, I used to have a Motorola i700, which I believe, is indestructible. I was this huge thing with an enormous battery but it was covered in rubber. I used to ride my bike to work and it would occasionally fall off in the middle of the street and bounce for 20 feet or so. It got a marred up and a little dirty but it always worked just fine. It was a rugged model, like something you'd find on a job site and it had, of course, the Nextel direct connect walkie talkie (which I miss). So, even though I did my best to try and break it, I never did.
My next phone was a Motorola v551. A cheapo plastic thingy which I dropped in some standing water near my truck trying to get out one day. It never worked very well after that. The ear piece would go in and out and I'd end up having to use the speaker phone feature to hear the person on the other end. Now I have a Razor v3. At least the outer case is metal. It's alright, but I'm sure to destroy it at some point. -Brendan --- David Savage <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > G'day all, > > Given the recent talk about the evil little > blighters, :-), I thought I'd ask. > > I'll start, 1...sort of. > > It happened last year.
