        Nice CAMERA phone. This could be bullet proof and still not sell as many as the iphone 4.

          wow, what a "test".
          the video is sped up and even then the testing machine rotates to slow to simulate a real "drop". the phone will just slide down the inner wall of the box and not make a "free fall" to the ground in this scenario. the sliding down will obviously slow down the speed with which the device will drop to the floor.

                >>Fans of the fruit company never want to admit the fact the fruit company REFUSED to release any phone (2G or 3G, touchscreen or button) until AFTER the almighty brand released top notch 2G/3G phones WORLDWIDE.

                Then all of the sudden the fruit company released their phone. Initially also denied the need for multitasking, GPS and SD-card slot.

                  We don't need stereo when they are not plugged in in it seems.
                  Should be a recall for the N8 its very bad.
