Cant wait to that more on the tube

Good phone, just cheaply made

Ah the continuing victim of foot-in-mouth disease.  Something about build quality:

Turns out the iPhone's pathetically fragile in comparison to the Samsung offering.... even if it is 'cheaply made'.  :grin:

Foot in mouth indeed, on your part sadly. Please have a look and see where i mentioned 'durability', there's a good girl.

The iPhone is made of glass and metal, the samsung is made from recycled lego, of course it will fair a drop better. Find someone who doesnt have a case for their iPhone though as it is much tougher with one!

so you're bigging up the fact it's made of glass and metal and won't survive a fall as well?

A phone case is a must for any phone let alone the current smart phones that break if you look at them the wrong way

Yes, its made better than the cheapo plastic of the GS2 and has a much higher premium feel to it. I have never dropped my phone so it doesnt come into my mind when i purchase it.

... so how do you explain the iPhone 4S glass cracking at shoulder height and the SGS2 glass not cracking? As the SGS2 is made of recycled lego, what is the glass made from then?  :huh:


oh yeah, that's right Gorilla glass. Decent, high quality, premium glass.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

lol here come the fandroids  :laugh:

Im not too fussed about a video from a warranty company, which stands to make a fortune from the better selling phone breaking  :wink:

GS2 feels cheap. Phones spend more time in my hand than on the floor so the feel means more than the ability to survive a drop.

bollocks the iPhone 4 is virtually indestructible i dropped mine out of the car window doing 30mph and there was hardly a scratch on it, nothing beats an iphone there light years ahead of its competitors
