Just goes to show the BBC can do something right.

Sort of makes you proud that a claim of being unbreakable has come a long way since Titanic.:thumbsup:

yeah my husbands cousin had an "unbreakable" cell that they dropped about 2 stories from a tree they were pruning and it broke.

Oh HELLZ YEAH. :rotfl:

My dad has a military-grade (for civilians, so not sure if it's more like "Military grade from the 1990's with newer ringtones.") flip-phone. He's dropped it and seen it go bouncing across the floor, and it works just fine.

But I'm just as amused as this reporter appears to have been with his "discovery". :p

The screen is the easiest part to break esp if wacked against a point such as a corner of a tank. On the other hand the glass cover should of been tempered better.
