heres a good one to prove how tough our little hero is. i was walking home (after being hit by a car ) and i was on the phone with my girl friend and i dropped my hero in the street, my case flew off, and my battery door too. then my hero must have felt left out and got ran over and it scrapped the ground. so i picked it up and still during call no dropped call still on like nothing happened. this phone is a god i swear
if we ever meet in public , remind me not to stand too close to you......
Lol ok I just got up I didn't get hurt

Yeah. The lesson I learned from this is the HeroC attracts vehicular manslaughter.
mine got ran over by a bus and still worked. i was very drunk that night i had to choose me and the phone or just the phone.
lol, GEEEEEEEZ, you remind me of my buddies dog. He had 3 legs, blind in one eye, had just one ear and was castrated. They called him LUCKY!!
I thought I would share with you the sad results of my Vibrant after it got in a fight with a car door.
Luckily I still have my G1.

Why do people think screen protectors will protect against breakage? SPs protect against scratches - not shattering.
Yea no screen protector can help that Lol!

Maybe. However, I have heard too many people claim SP will broke against breakage...
Yeah most people think, "if it falls from a 5 story building, screen first it'll be okay since I have a screen protector".
Luckily, I have a case, and a screen protector. I know if that happened to me, I would still be screwed. I also have the T-Mobile insurance ;D.
Make sure u throw ur vibrant at the car door and make a dent so the vibrant can have the last word and get his revenge

The car door exploded at impact with the Vibrant.
I don't always complain, but when I do, I #BlameWes
What's the verdict? Does vibrant has Gorilla Glass or not?
Joking aside, sorry about your phone. I hope you have the Tmobile insurance.
Awesome destruction
You should hot glue it to plaque' and then stain it. Then you could sell it on Ebay as art.
ouch.

We need to believe that SP makes our phones super safe because that's the only way we can justify buying them
**facepalm**
Of course it was a joke...duh
I'm still wondering how it happened.
I mean for the phone to be on the door opening at the right time.
in most cars the phone will either fall outside on inside the car.
It must have performed an awesome balancing act to be broken right down the middle.
what i bet happened is that he raged and slammed it against the edge of a table or countertop.

Ever wanted to kill your wife after she dropped her evo into the crapper? I have. Just happened on Saturday. She forgot it was in her back pocket, and out it slipped (luckily pre-dump, lol). Pulled the battery right away, and buried it in a sealed tupperware container of rice. After a day and a half, took it out, and it works. Still has moisture under the screen, and the haptic feedback for the capacitive buttons isn't working right, but she can deal with those two things, unless they're cheap to fix. We'll see how things go over a longer period, as I just took it out today, but I've got some hope at least. Just felt like sharing a little messed up story.
I bet it went plop!
Nope, can't say I ever wanted to kill someone over a piece of electronics.

Wow, this thread took a weird turn. Looks like I might have to hurt someone after all, as it seems the phone stopped working after about 2 days. Now it's stuck at the splash screen. Oh, and btw, I wasn't talking about literally killing someone.
but was she good in bed?

That does suck. My first thought when I read your OP was that a day and a half isn't long enough in rice.
Buy your wife lots of new shoes, and use the desiccant packs to dry out the evo. Then return the shoes to punnish her
This may help also:

Here in India, Samsung is going bonkers with advertising campaign for note. You see it every day on almost all satellite channels. It has reached the point where people have actually started to recognise the phone in public. Everyone knows its Note.
Kinda feel bad as its not something rare or unknown beast that surprises people anymore.

Lat time I traveled in Europe I had three! One for my Oz account with my email / WiFi & contacts, one for my UK / Europe account (because Oz account charge a fortune over there in most countries), and one Sat Phone for use when I was at sea in the Med.
It got so bad I almost gave it all up and went of a Sat Phone all the time, but the reception is useless inside any building.
My neighbors jaw dropped lookin @ my phone..
Funny, I keep explaining to others comparing the same with iPhone, for me its my first Android phone, and I am running ICS and end up showing stuffs pretty much and there will be a crash or something crazy..!! lolz, though after two days I feel other phones are so tiny.
Now imagine this: i show my note and everyone asks:" how much did it cost? " and i simply say:" it was free... Won it in a contest on Stuff.tv site"
And everyone thinks this: Damn you bastard... I never win anything!
And guess what? I already made new friends because of it LOL

The only stranger who ever gave my Note more than a moment's glance was a guy I was sitting beside in a seminar. I was using it both to take notes and record audio, while he was using his GS2 to record, and one of the Galaxy Tabs (I think 8.9) to take notes. He was looking over to it constantly, surely with the thought that it must be a great combination of the two devices.
As far as non-strangers are concerned, my wife (an iPhone 4 user) is jealous about damn near everything I've shown her on it. She might end up with the pink or white Note.
I was really surprised with the amount of positive feedback that people gave to the note, including iPhone users etc.
Something interesting I noticed was that at my campus there seem to be a lot of folks with a phone+iPad or phone+playbook or any other tablet etc. (even my gf falls into this category). It just seems sort of silly to me to carry around two devices everywhere.
To be fair, though, I would never use the Note as a primary note-taking device, and have definitely seen iPad users use their devices for this purpose. Like some other users have mentioned, a 6" screen would be just fine in my book, as long as it still made calls.
However, if I didn't have a stereo bluetooth headset I would notice the size of it when using as an actual phone much more...
Ha. How about this one, I was on the phone with the Note on Thursday afternoon in the foyer of our business complex (talking to ATT nonetheless) and saw a Guy walk past me looking right at the phone and is massive size up to my ear and COMPLETELY forgot to open the door to go outside and slammed right into it.
I laughed and said holy crap bud you okay? He said nothing and ran out the door!
This is what the Note will do for you.

Well gentleman some really bad news :crying: . My Beloved EVO Shift is Gone :crying: . It has moved on to a better place. I've been Uber sick these last few days, Flu. Truly feel like death warmed over. In the midst of feeling like Poo it was knocked off the nightstand, onto a hardwood floor. I was groggy, with a fever. Strike one screen cracked. Then in the middle of the night my dog has a mental break. Knocks the Shift off the nightstand into a Puke Bucket Strike two. Then I fish it out, Yuk. Holding it gingerly. It slips hits the floor again. Strike three, and out. This time the Screen came off . So long story short, no more Shift. Called Sprint, they gave me an SGS3 for Free. So that's what I'm rocking now. Still not rooted, haven't even signed in to Google on it yet. But I will be still be frequenting the Shift forms. Also I will maintain the Roms I always have. Will also keep up on trying to get new stuff for the Shift. Best forum I've ever had the luck to be a part of on XDA . I am moving on, but not leaving. Thank you gentleman for being awesome .

Very sad to hear this, I hope you enjoy your new phone and hopefully recover too. Sucks about the shift though, at least it went out quickly and not in pieces.
But what are your first impressions of SGS3? My upgrade is at the beginning of February and I was thinking about getting that one.

Not as easy as that . I am sick, and I was not in the mood for dealing with anyone. Especially after the situation with my Shift. My wife was speaking with them. They started giving her a hard time, about TEP. So I got on the line, and told her to just cancel my service. All the lines are up for an Upgrade ( 10 Lines ) . She changed her tune really quick. They next day Aired the SGS3 to me.
