Sorry, I had to.
And your "friend" is going to buy you a new one?
Wow, go beat up his car or something.
And you standing for this? You must have great friends.
That would be another proof that its not Gorilla
I just got the new nexus S and the phone cracked after its first fall

Pictures of the screen / phone after falling? Otherwise it just seems like its inaccurate on what you're saying because you picked it up and it was still recording.

when screen cracks, everything keeps working fine...even touchscreen should work.
Okay, so what are you trying to say?
I find it funny that people are blaming on the phone not having gorilla glass. Really? Go drop any phone out there. If it hits the ground from a certain height and at a certain angle, it will obviously break.

Thats BS...Ive dropped my Nexus One from shoulder height (approx 5'6") a few times now and its never broken.
My buddy dropped his vibrant from around the same height and the housing broke. Samsung uses cheap plastic...
ummmm...it looks like the lens on the camera cracked, u cant see the screen in the video at all
I think that the owner must be a twat anyway to be taking a video in Portrait.
Think about it when have you ever seen a long thin Television? Exactly!!
All seems like lies to me with no proof
This guy doesn't even have a Nexus S nor a Nexus One. His unboxing were pictures from a review site.

hah i was surprised at myself for how non hesitant i was to reach in and grab that sucker soooo fast
lucky for me it was in a clean toilet in my home
anyways
void sticker didnt even get touched
immediately ripped out the battery
let it sit in paper towels for a bit
and then put it in a warm place near a heater just not very close
two hours later i dared to turn it on and im totally safe ^_^
its been a few days now with no problems at all!
you should put it in a bowl of dry rice just in case
does it feel nice to the face? haha glad it survived. Sure way to know if you have the peeling screen issue. Seems like yours is sealed 100000% no dust for you!

I dropped my Treo 600 in a freakin lake about 2 months after getting it. I dove in and got it, threw it in the boat and it was dead, dead, dead. Took it home and it sat on the counter the remainder of my vacation. At first you could see the unit exhibiting small signs of life and eventually it came back and worked 100%. Sometimes miracles happen
lol funny thread
[x] would read again
Wow, I'm surprised your Nexus One still works dude.. guess HTC's testing process did do some good. Or, you just got extremely lucky somehow.
On an off-topic side note, did anyone notice in the video where the Nexus One fell, the screen did not crack? I assume this was an almost final version of the product? Why though, does when people drop their phones on the concrete it still breaks? If HTC went through this rigorous testing process, why are phones breaking so easily?.. Of course glass breaks easily, but did the material they dropped the phone on was not as dense or hard enough as concrete? Or was it simply the multiple angles they tried..

In the video it looks like the phones are dropped from what appears to be rather less than hand-holding height, onto a surface that appears to be slightly rubbery. Concrete tends to be rather unforgiving no matter what you drop on it.
In December, I dropped my HTC Magic into a kid's swimming pool, left it to dry for one day and it's still in great working condition today =)
Did this exact same thing to my old Nokia 8190 back in the day, and the bowl wasn't "fresh". Phone came out fine other than the battery life dropped to 6-8 hours of standby, ended up carrying a spare in my wallet.
Oh lol, nice reaction tho..

in a week I'm gonna be going to a concert. I need to get my phone waterproof prior to the concert. I'm gonna go cheap easy and efficient. my initial idea was use 2 condoms just to prevent liquid from getting in on the phone. then I started to think I'll need the camera to take pictures and video but theres condoms covering the camera and taking away from the clarity. Its there any easy easy way to achieve this.

I have dropped it several times.left it in the van when it was above 100 deg temp.it works as well as the day I bought it.there has been others break the glass on thee tab.Its going to happen from time to time.Call acer tell then you did not damage it and it just broke on its own.They might help you.but this acer a500 is by far the best tablet of them all.
Ranting in the forum might help get it off your chest.but will not fix your tablet.

Hm, my cars winshield broke all on its on while it was sitting in my garage.
Can I call mitsubishi and ask them to replace it for me?
LMAO Stuff doesnt break on its on. Sounds like what my 10 year old brother tells me everytime he breaks something.
When I bought my a500 I was torn between aus and a500. To me they're very much alike. He said if you want a tablet and keyboard, get the Asus and the cradle. If you just want the better built tablet of the two, get the Acer.
Very pleased with my a500. I supppose it's possiblle the glass could have a defect causing a break under unknown circumstances. Everything I have heard of Acer is they're very helpful. Haven't they even helped folks who bricked their tabs rooting and flashing?

Well it's not that far fetched. To this day, I have no way of explaining what happened to a buddy's old laptop. I was with him one time when he closed it, then a couple hours later he opened it up and the screen was broken. Nothing happened to it inbetween. Then again, it was a Dell... Now gorilla glass should technically be better, so this may have just been a defective unit. It's not the first time I've heard of a defective screen on the A500, however it's the first I heard of the spontaneous breaking glass. There's a first for everything

Oh, yeah, I'm sure the glass broke all by itself from just sheer awesomeness while you were riding through the skies on your pink, fluffy, rainbow-****ting unicorn which also happens to play some mean ukulele!

I once had a windshield on a rental car crack.
I did not even drop it on the floor and it cracked!
Seriously, nothing hit the windshield, it just had a defect, a weak point or a pressure point that caused the crack.
So I suppose all rental cars must have defective windshields.

I don't like that video. As have been told, they didn't record it straight without video cutting also they didn't show if it works between falls, they didn't try to call if problem is only with display. If I want to guess what is wrong with that device I would rather say that only ribbon cable don't have good connection than device is broken.
You should understand guys that these people are sponsored. They might be getting so much from apple or sammy or lg, or even nokia. They need to make the competition look bad so that people would look the other way around. Sometimes they use these kinds of diversion "Oh I'm really surprised that the phone is holding up so well. The screen might be broken, chassis is junk, back plate/plastic/glass is also broken, but on the lighter side the phone still works flawlessly." ORR "This phone works quite well, but I just can't accept the fact that the loudspeaker isn't good enough."
About the loudspeaker diversion, they're just looking for something negative for their closing remarks. Because that's what usually sticks to people, the closing remarks.
Well, and one should always remember that one instance is no guarantee for other instances...
In these drop tests it can matter quite a bit if the angle in which the phone hits the pavement is just that bit off, or whatever other random influence. It is just AN indication, some ppl drop their phone once and it's immediately shattered. Others drop the same phone 10 times wth only minor dents as a result.
But my response was mainly because people shout "FAKE" or "PHOTOSHOPPED" at just about every video or picture posted on the internet, it was nothing personal @gm007

SEVERAL TIMES? Dude, no offense, but are you retarded? after the first time, did you not think to yourself "maybe this isnt the best place to put the phone"?
And for the people saying about being fake? what? why would it be? a) the unit was probably free from sony anyway.. if not then b) the views they get on youtube for that video most likely pays for the cost of the phone. and c) they do this drop test with most of the phones they review. so remind me again why this could be fake?
The reason they didn't show the phone working after each drop, is probably coz it broke after the first drop, which meant that there was no point in carrying on with the drop test. And they wanted to carry on with the drop tests. That's all!! Stop with the bribing nonsense.

The glass is likely frosted, not painted. Over time dust and debris will get into the case and cause minor marks and scratches. It's happened to me on a couple of phones. The case is meant to protect from major scratches and breakage. Only solution is to remove the case regularly and clean it.

As told to you in a previous post, what is happening is likely debris under your case acting as an abrasive and wearing the glass off similar to sandpaper. The discussion of skins is because they protect the phone from this damage, hence why they are popular even among people who keep the phone in a case at all times.
