I found mine was quite waterproof when I left it in my pocket and put my top in the washing machine. Still works flawlessly.

I accidentally dropped it when talking at it and it got just a little scratch.

yeah, and for an inexpensive device, the build quality is superb. really can't believe it can withstand those conditions

Then just wait some days/ weeks, and the elecronics will start to corrodate and eventualy the x8 will die.

Out of my 8 months of using the Epic, mine's never had this issue. And I can guarantee, I've been on every ROM known to man up to 6/24/2011.

I think he was referring to the fast pace in which the mobile industry is going. Like, you know...ant years or somethin' like it... ha
On the other hand...
yes, i bought my x8 (the black one) last year in june after my old one got stolen, and i was short on cash, so i bought it with the promotion they had at 3 (three), it was 49 euros without any subscription...planned to change it after a while, but it was ok, and with all the possibilities the android world brings, didn't really feel the need to change it.
but...still...planning on upgrading to defy+ but not sure if it's worth it for now...
My x8 is 3 months old

i have my X8 as my main phone , for about 1,5yrs love it so much xd
Yes with a decade I did mean the fast pace of the industry. Yet our phones are still keeping up whereas development for phones released then has stopped
Remember. X8 started.with donut 1.6

I sorely need to do something about my horribly scratched screen. That way, I won't have to bother about keeping it for another decade! :O
It's my main phone. I love it, it's the best! !!

I have my X8 Black for about 1,5 years and don't have no intentions to change it. The great work of all the developers of this community and his beautiful design, make it an awesome phone.

x-ray pic of vibe

Might be lame, I'm an x-ray tech, who wants a shot of the vibe? attached a small shot.
haha thats cool, pic is a bit small but haha cool job you got there.
Did you actually put that into some kind of XRAY machine?
yeah, got a quick shot, was thinking a travel-through type ani would make a nice boot screen. I have a higher res shot of that, the one posted is compressed.

That's pretty cool, would love to see the high res shot. I was thinking about setting my Vibrant up in one of the anechoic chambers at work and seeing what kind of radiation is coming off this bad boy, but this is much cooler than a boring plot of RF.

Hey how long were you in school to be an X-ray tech, that's actually my major how do you like it?

Maybe some radiation might jumpstart the GPS unit.
FYI: the phone is running fine after being in the cabinet for about 20 mins.
very cool, wish my vibe looked like that

death of my DHD

Seems like water has been the end of my DHD....It's currently sat in a tub of rice on a radiator but I'm thinking it's already short circuited....Shame indeed....Luckily I can upgrade in January but it's still a sad day....Loved the phone. I'll miss this forum....
I feel you dude. This phone and especially this community is amazing.
What was the outcome? Did you fix your DHD or was it impossible to resuscitate?
R.I.P :laugh:
Lets just say....rice is awesome!
