How come Siemens phones are indestructable?
It's true!
Quite a while ago one of my mates dropped his down 3 flights of concrete stairs (you could hear it bouncing all the way down as he chased it) and it had a slight scratch on the back and that was about it - it still worked.
Then another one dropped his out of a 2nd story window onto the pavement, where somebody trod on it and it still worked.
Then yesterday yet another mate dropped hers down the toilet (while it was on) and it still works, despite the fact she turned it straight back on (it somehow turned off) without letting it dry out. (Incidentally, why is it always women who drop thier phones down toilets? What is it that they do that makes it happen?)
Then you drop a Nokia on the floor and not only breaks, but the explosion takes out half the room.
Very odd.

Come on then, come taste some Nottingham concrete.
If you want a REALLY GOOD look at it, just wonder round St Annes or The Meadows until you get gunned down in one of the nightly drivebys.
God I'm such good PR for that city.
Oh and you didn't explain the toilet one.

Siemens: Dropped it back cover snapped off, occasionally turns itself on and off (losing the time when it turns off, which it doesnt even do when the battery is removed)
Nokia: Had it three days, dropped it think, the screen is leaking.

Hell yes! I had a 5110 and fell in the canal (The kennet in Reading, well dingy) with it my pocket and it survived. Threw it around, ie. at a wall etc. cracked the top a bit but it still worked. INVINCIBLE. Plus it still works now, just took it out of my desk draw to see
As for my nokia 8310, simular story, i treat it like **** and its works fine, never a problem.

depends what phone really.
the old Motorola ones that you can build houses with do not die. And if the 5110 is that one with the battery that falls off all the time, then that never breaks either.
Whereas the new ones are rubbish.
I had one of those flip phones and it snapped in half
