So...What is it?
I was just washing my car and I had my cell phone (Instinct) on the back bumper of my mom's expedition. So she comes out and tells me she's going to the store. Forgot about my phone... So when I finished washing my car and was heading back inside, I remembered...
I called my mom and she said it wasn't on the bumper. So I drove towards her way and sure enough at the first right turn, there it was in the middle of the street. I get out, pick it up, and it still works. Must've sat there for about 10-15 mins, luckily nobody picked it up...
I dont think anybody ran it over, but it now has major road rash on the screen side of it. It works perfectly fine though...

shit...

I had one of those little black motorola jellybeans. I was drunk and got mad and threw it full force into a brick wall. It broke into like 10 pieces, but i picked them up, got them put back together with superglue and ducttape (the insides were fine) and the motherfucker seriously started back up... and worked fine.

My mom had the same phone. Left it on top of her car, backed over it, same thing. broke into a few pieces, put it back together, and it was fine.

From my experience, the only phones that can survive through hell are the free ones.

one morning i was talking shit to one of my room mates and he kicked my hand, which had my iphone in it and the phone landed right in a cup of spit from the night before. i made him clean it off and it smelled like chew for a few days but was fine.

about a week after that i got pissed at my gf and i chucked it at the wall. it put a hole in the wall, but the phone was fine.

I was skating and was trying to do a 360 from this drop, and my smart ass had to have my phone in my back pocket, anyways so i fell on my butt and broke half the screen but I still used it for a couple of months there after...I just couldn't txt. So i dunno if that counts? it should uhh half count?

when i had a razor, i would chuck the phone and bounce it off this wall and try to catch it. it worked after every chuck......until one time i missed it and it hit the ground and broke into a gang of pieces. sucked. but the iphone is a trooper. it's been dropped a couple times. only has some battle damage.

http://www.comporium.com/res/wireless/hp/medium_samsung_x497.jpg This lil fucker was ugly as shit and only called and texted, but damn if it didnt last me dropping it on concrete stairs bouncing on the first stair and rolled down the stairs. i dropped the phone every time i got out of my jeep, cuz i would have the phone in my lap.

I had a bad habit of takin the phone and throwing it up into the air and tryin to catch it. I didnt always catch....

Through all the only thing that happend was one line of dead pixels through the screen. That lil bitch works till this day

had this gem for a while, cracked the fuck out of the screen and used it for a while. but it started doing wierd shit after that. carried around because i could still make a recieve calls, but i couldnt see who or what i was dialing. but after a few weeks of it being cracked it would lose its FULL charge in ~4-5 hours and i woulndt even use it!

http://z.about.com/d/cellphones/1/0/X/X/4/samsung-d807-g.jpg

and ive dropped my Tilt a few times on the concrete and once out of my buddies lifted truck as i was getting out. nothing but some rash. although the battery connection gets a little loose sometimes and i get this wierd green pixel discoloration.

I put my phone on my lap most of the time when I drive. I got out of the car and forgot take it off my lap. It fell into the street and I guess I didn't hear it. My friend told me to re-park my car in his driveway, so I got back in and re-parked it.

Inside, I was like, holly shit, where is my phone. Looked all over the car, but couldn't find it. "OH SHIT" lol. I went to the street and there it was. I ran it over with my own car. haha. I think another car ran it over too.

I have an Verizon LG Envy thingy...

Actually hahhahha that shit happened with my old Samsung T619 phone. Same deal it fell in the toilet when I was taking a leak. and I could not get it for around 15 minutes hahahahhaha. because it was a steel rimmed toilet. Yup one of those new modern aluminum ones. finally got it out. Rinsed it down with disinfectant as well as my hands hahhahahhaha. This was actually the second time it had gone under water first time it fell into a pan of water on the stove. hahhahahha needless to say it was dropped numerous times as well and it still worked. I should add its a year and a half old and has like millions of hours of use. I replaced it today. Though its still working.

I use to have this POS Motorola. It was constantly giving me trouble. It wouldn't charge it would drop calls. Well like i said it was a POS.

One night i was ordering some pizza and i decided to take a leak while i waited for them to pick up. I stood in front of the toilet and unzipped my pants. As soon as i reached down to grab my zipper. The phone slips the grip i had on it (between my shoulder and my right cheek) slides down my chest and down my stomach. It manages to hit my pecker on the way down in to the toilet water.

At this point i still haven't started peeing so i reach in there and grab it. Once i grab it i hear some lady on the phone saying '' Hello??? hello??? Pizza Hut''. So i hung up and dried the phone. The phone actually worked better after that. The screen was a shit black, but it still worked.

I had a Tmobile SDA for a year and a half... that shit was unkillable. Worst thing I ever did to it was throw it at my Land Cruiser as hard as I could over some girl bullshit. It exploded and a shitload of pieces flew off but when reassembled worked fine for 2 more months until it fell out of my pocket riding on the freeway. :rofl:

Imma just repost my story from an old Premie-section thread of mine...

So, my week has been, in general, pretty shitty. Between stress from work, fighting with the girlfriend, and my 4th of July drunken headfirst encounter with the bottom of an unusually shallow swimming pool, I'm not the happiest of people. But tonight, I managed to cap off my week in a craptacular fashion - literally...

So, pretty much all day long, my stomach had been upset. I dropped the Cosby kids off at the pool twice while at work, and by the time I got home from eating dinner with the family, there was one hell of a storm brewing downstairs, and I knew I was in for some trouble. I barely managed to make it to the bathroom, and as soon as I sat down, the floodgates opened up. After about three straight minutes of some of the most disgusting sounds and smells I had ever experienced, I finally felt as though it was over. I pulled my dong aside to take a look down into the toilet, and all I saw was something that I can only describe as a mixture of mud and ground beef. As I sit there marveling at this work of art, only one thing comes to mind... "I need to take a picture of this, and send it to all my friends!"
So, I took my picture, two, actually, and sent it to some friends. As I started to grab for the toilet paper, I felt more rumbling, so I braced myself for more burning. This time I was fortunate, for it is not the burning ground beef mud poo, but rather, good ole soft logs. I gave myself about ten minutes just to make sure it was all out of there, and I looked down again. "Holy fuck, it looks even nastier now than the first time!" I reach for my phone to snap another pic, and thats when it happened.
:: ploop ::
"FUCK!!!"
My phone slipped out of my hand, and into the feces-filled toilet bowl. The moment it settled at the bottom of the muck, it began vibrating and making all sorts of funny noises. I knew what I had to do, and I had to do it before it was too late. I took a deep breath, plugged my nose with my left hand, and plunged my right hand down into the deapths of excrement Hell. After fifeteen seconds of wriggling around to grap the phone, I managed to get a decent hold on it and pulled it out. It was covered in shit, and it was still vibrating, so little speckles of shit water were flying all about.

I did my best to clean it all off, but the phone still smells like poo. Right now, the phone is sitting in a coffee can full of white rice (the rice is supposed to draw out and absorb the moisture). Will it still work? I sure hope so.

Lesson learned: If you take a picture of the first really gross dump, don't get cocky and go for the second. :-/

And yes, the phone continued to work fantastically. I posted that story on 7/7/2007, and I finally got a new phone about a month ago. I put that little Rokr through hell. lol

I used to throw my old old old like TDMA old Nokia at brick/concrete walls full force to demonstrate how unbreakable it was. Went through the washer AND dryer several times and still worked. I threw it in front of a Neon, got ran over and it still worked. Threw it in front of an F-250, got run over. The screen cracked but it still worked.
