I had a huge fit of anger today and threw my X1 down on the floor. It bounced off the carperted floor, and hit the steel wall of my cubicle. The battery cover flew open and the battery flew out.
The slider is now loose. I went to the SE service center and they said that they've to import a part from Sony to fix my phone.
Luckily no more issues. everything else works fine, no cracks and paint peeling off.
Can I ask the reason you throw your X1 is because of the phone or work? I have a sudden urge to throw my X1 too as it kept hanging on me...
Ouchies!
Hopefully everything works out with parts replacement,
..and whatever you where angry for
Haha... Your story amused me. I'm glad it survived I once threw my cell-phone in rage with full force into a brick wall, drunk, late at the night of my graduation... Hehe. It smashed into pieces. That was ten years ago though, and it was no big loss since it was a big old clumpsy Nokia that hit the dust
Get anger management courses.
wht else, girl problems, can't live with them, can't live without them
Everrything else works fine though, and it'll take 6-7 days for the new part to be shipped. Have to wait till that.
But 1 point i'd like to make, after the most of man handled, not even scratch or a crack... and mine is 08W44.... can anything be deduced from tat?

That it's two weeks older than mine?
Glad to hear it survived mate, I threw an old nokia 6210 at a stone wall back in the day when they were new (same reason as you. women, eh?), and it somehow survived... I doubt my beloved x1 would survive such a collision but I also doubt that I'll let myself get that heavy handed with this phone
I've broken an NEC in half using just my hands.
It all depends on who you're dating I suppose.
Oh, and I've slammed the receiver of a normal cord telephone onto a desk so hard it broke off the whole earpiece. Same girl. Looong time ago.

girls = phones
-at first you love them
-you decide its worth investing
-you achieve expected sattisfaction- or not
-with time they disappoint you somehow
-then *you shoud make up your mind and decide whether to keep or change* because:
there's a lot of phones out there to choose from
there's always a better one coming

Newer phones are getting better -> fact
Newer girls are getting better -> you did not learn

It is because girl issue is more interesting(and exciting) than our sexy X1
if your willing to thow a phone over a girl its time to get a different chick.
now i agree the x1 is very sturdy my phone has taken acouple falls. all of them battery cover and battery came out of the phone it self. the pices were acouple feet apart. minor scratches in the plastic ring around the 3.5mm jack and my batt cover is scratched. my slider is still nice and stiff and i have no peeling plastic, no cracks. have had the phone for almost 2 months and goes through more usage then phone reviewers review phones.
My phone about 2 phones ago hit the wall with max force I remember.
During a night shift, for some reason I had a moment of blind rage
What sucked was that all my contacts was stored on the cell and it was totally destroyed =(

Pro tip: Don't throw $800 phones, least of all because of girl problems. In fact, show off the $800 phone to attract more girls (and more girl problems ^^).
As for me, I never throw my phones but it's good to know that it's durable; I always carry my phone in my left pocket, and when I'm skateboarding my left leg is almost always forward (in other words, when I fall I tend to land on it or it will eject from the pocket if I'm going very fast). My SE K550i survived plenty of falls, let's hope that X1's quality construction does the same.
Hey, while all the folks over at "X1 is a bigger flaunt than iPhone 3g easily" are celebrating in their new found " chick magnet " , i figured i shouldnt be alone in this!
fall in here if your X1 has brought u shame, disgrace or something negative !! no shame go to the thread above by my bro !
me,
1) chicks commented too heavy
2) my fading battery cover brought "eeeeeeeks"
you start to show it in front of your friend, and the X1 is starting to lag up/crash.
It happened to me once, and that was just embarrassing
Might want to try one of the cooked roms
Never brought me shame.
no shame go to "X1 is a bigger flaunt than iPhone 3g easily" are celebrating in their new found " chick magnet "
here is for the shamers !!
LOL....not all the time though. It only happened to me once or twicem and that was when i showed it off. LOL....
My X1 is kinda shy
It has brought me shame a few times.
First day out of the house with the phone, i dropped it, it simply slipped out of my hand, and battery case battery all flew off in different directions at the station, people must have thought i was trying to show off my X1 but then dropped it!
Second major thing that happened, a good friend of mine has an iPhone, and I regularly insulted him about the iPhone and how when I would get an Xperia, how much more useful customizable it is. So I got it out to show him the facebook panel, and it crashed completely! Just so embarrassed!
Last time it embarrassed me was when I called a company trying to recruit me, thinking it was a friend of mine, was very embarrassing trying to explain that I had called the wrong person!
But since I have been on this forum, the X1 has become a lot easier to use and run and more stable, a lot say that the weakest part of the X1 is the OS which is true, but it is so customizable, that it kind of compensates.
I just wish the phone was as smooth as the K750, W960 and W950 from the first day I recieved it!
No shame here... the fish panel is a popular and winning flaunt panel!
pls folks !!!! no shame go to my bro's thread "X1 is a bigger flaunt than iPhone 3g easily" are celebrating in their new found " chick magnet "
shame here only !!!!! hahaahahah
oh cmon.....we all have our fair bit of embarrassing moment with our X1
It wouldn't hurt to share them all here....hahaha
I had once where I was calling a guy to talk to him about the phone, since he thought about purchasing mine... well the phone some how disconnected/dropped the call, so I had to reboot and tried to call him back and he didn't answer. >.< There goes that sell. Made him think twice about the phone I guess
LOL OMG
classic ~ ~
so have you sold your phone?
my worst:
after having the x1 for a few weeks i was showing it off to my dad,
i was showing him the pannels and opened media pannel,
i was flicking through my pictures he was impressed then a picc of my NAKED GF showed up! i tried as quick as i could to move on but it lagged and the pic was on for a good 5 seconds. He was impressed now lol
i had moved those type of pics out of my pitures folder but it still shows.
HOW EMBARRASING never showed off the media pannel again
haha...well iPhone is like James Bond...calm, composed but cant do it all...sucks in non-weapon combat and interrogation
whereas X1 is like Jack Bauer....is vulnerable but gets the work done and can kick Bond's ass anyday!
if my X1 crashes..it crashes hard....but when it works..it does so much more than any other phone....it is because it tries to do everything thrown at it.
Haha, some nice stories out here...
Well, mine was pretty simple:
In class I wanted to know how fast the keyboard slides out and how much energie it has. Well, of course it was very fast so I lost controll and it jumped out of my hands.. Embarassing...But fortunately I knew that it would be pretty fast and so it fell only on a table.
Anyway..
hm...
i think my x1 likes self destructiion...
everytime it slips out of my handy on the floor (that happened 5-6 times now in front of someone) the battery jumps out and slide over the whole ground...
then my phone freezes in front of my friends... (and they laughed at my while i was putting out the battery then restart it)
I had very embarassing moments with Xperia when I realized it plays video slower then my 3 years old Palm. Now I'm ashamed to show it to anyone, what if they ask me about the video playback ?
I asked a lass if she wanted to poke my fish
what dose it do? she asked
Just poke it and it swims off sulking
my phone had crashed and the fish had frozen
It always freezes or lags when I let anybody play with it. Actually it does that to me too but I try to pretend like it never happens since I payed $660 for this piece of crap.
I don't know why but everytime I see a pic of HD2 on the net I always thought, oh my god this is so awesome. As if I don't already have the phone
Yep pretty much And even more so when I hand it to someone when they ask what it is, and they just stare at how pretty it is.

You let other people hold it??
The EVO 4G is much better looking from the front, the buttons make the HD2 look less sleek.
Although the EVO 4G is ugly as hell from the back where as the HD2 is gorgeous.
Maybe its just preference but I think the EVO looks better all round than the HD2......
.......but I still love my HD2!
Actually I do! At the same time I would have loved for the hardware keys to have been virtual keys like my HD

yeah, hardware keys of the hd is the best. although overall it looks dated now.
i am not in awe anymore when i see my hd2... i just cant tolerate the sight of other *dumb* phones
i cant use phones with *small* screens anymore... the other day i was using another phone and it took about 1 second to load the inbox. and i felt so odd waiting for 1 second
yes, hd2 is 'awe'some
Anybody would else would thing we're crazy, but I swear, I still have a mini orgasm everytime I see a picture of the HD2 on the net... and I have one sitting right in front me. Always!
Some people would compare my reliance on this phone to a relationship with a woman.
Look at it from time to time for no reason at all other than to say... damn that's sexy, or turn on the phone from time to time for no reason at all, just so I can handle it
We need help!

*will never be happy*
I was visiting India for a couple of weeks on business and I noticed a live one sitting on my neighborhood cell phone store! Asked to see it, naturally! Frigging huge! Holy **** almost the size of my nook color! How is someone supposed to talk with this???? It's 34k rupees here, almost 660$... Pretty cheap Imo. I love the display, I was almost ashamed to bring out my captivate! Almost... Then I remembered that I can talk with my captivate. Lol..

I just got my note today.
Amazed. The screen is beautiful and its FAST.
In love...

I have no problem gripping the Note and talking with it. Doesn't look awkward at all.

So I'm guessing you spend more time talking on your captivate than actually using it as a smart phone.
I don't spend more than 10 minutes on the phone when outside so having the big phone to my face is no big deal. If you plan on talking for a long time that's what bluetooth, speakerphone, and headsets are for. Browsing the web, watching video, and gaming is what I mainly use my Note and previous smartphones for...this phone overly satisfies what I look for in a phone.
Is this a troll thread? Obviously we speak via telepathy on our Galaxy Note DUH.
Got my Note about a week ago, absolutely amazing, has been the envy of just about every other smartphone owner in my office. (particularly the people who just forked out ~$800 for a 4GS, when i tell them i got the note for $730 delivered)
few people gripe about it being too big. imo, if it fits in your pocket, it's just right!
as I jot down things on post-its constantly this is PERFECT, my desk and monitor are no longer covered in yellow squares.
I do miss the trackball from my HTC desire tho.. but otherwise this is better in almost every respect. (still think the Stock Samsung Icon set looks cheap and nasty tho)
Rooting and installing CWM was a peice of cake, looking forward to some quality custom roms to hit this very robust device

Just switched from Desire to GNote, and I also miss the trackball. One more thing that I miss is the notification led... But in overall the pros far outweigh the cons

Okay... Still in India.. Saw a live gs2 today... Man, USA is really far behind in having live displays around! Dummies everywhere! First time I saw a live gs2, even though it has been out for 6 months.. Man that things is freakishly fast, my captivate looked like a freaking kid.... Didn't notice a whole lot of difference in the displays though, point to be noted here is that I use voodoo color. My girlfriend actually said my captivate looked better, at full brightness n same galaxy lwp. I laughed, of course... Lol!
But man o man.. That 720p display looks sweet on the note, imagine how great it would look on a screen of 4.6".. Plus a manageable form factor.... Nexus here I come!

If you own a big phone, then you can relate to this funny, short video I made
Link to the video: https://www.facebook.com/video.php?...834654164&type=3&video_source=pages_video_set
I understand that some people get made fun of for getting big phones but most of the time there is a very good reason. Like me I have huge hands and if I had something with a 5 inch or smaller screen it just wouldn't fit right. IPhone for example feels like its microscopic when I hold one.
The title should be - Video About Big Phones.....Cause it sure ain't funny.

That's gonna leave a mark, but your right, it didn't register on my humor scale either.
Even my colonoscopy was funnier
These comments are way funnier than the video
Now this is a big ass 7 inch phone http://wmpoweruser.com/new-7-inch-windows-phone-shows-up-at-the-hong-kong-electronics-fair/. To be carried with a suit case instead of a case
This thread is about as funny as a screen door in a submarine!
