My Optimus OWNED today

[droidmyme]

So I happened to drop my Optimus V today. I was changing into a swimsuit at a lake, and it fell directly out of my pocket about 3 feet onto the floor. It clattered horribly and the battery popped out, but I put it right back, turned it on, and its still running like a champ! Good ol Optimus V, it's hard to break lol

My HD7s feel six feet into a full bathtub.... Two days of drying and worked like a charm. Still works five months later!

Lol, I've been launching my Optimus 30 feet or more out of my friends catapault that we had to make for engineering class last time I launched it, I forgot it was under a tree and it smashed at like 20 MPH into a branch. It still works fine.

I dropped mine in a volcano then dropped it in glass of Pepsi to cool it off then drove over it with a steam roller to wring it out and I'm using my new not broken ov to tell you about it. In all honesty I drop mine weekly and its been solid as a rock for over a year now

I'm telling you guys.. Tonka helped design these things.

Ah! I remember Tonka

Lets see, what has mine gone through? Its taken numerous 6 foot drops off music stands (I use the phone for a tuner during band and lessons at school) and has flown across rooms before from people fighting over it and one letting go. I have not a scratch on the thing. My sister, on the other hand, had hers in her back pocket (and girls clothing there days have very shallow pockets) She sat down on a paved driveway and moved over on it and the entire back is now completely scratched up with deep scratches. The stainless steel around the camera is also pretty scratched. But I tell ya, these are the toughest little phones I've seen. Who needs to pay extra for a military spec rugged phone when you can just buy an Optimus?

Mine has taken quite a few falls on concrete, hardwood, and the occasional "Oh $#!+ I dropped it, let me try to catch it and end up smacking it even harder into a wall" moment, it's a champ. I knew the phone was sturdy enough to take a beating once I held it in my hand, but what really amazes me is that the screen hasn't broken yet.

Typing this makes me wonder how spoiled I will realize I was once I get a new phone.

As soon as I got mines, I immediately got an InvisibleShield for it. Mines pretty much took a lot of beatings from just random people tripping on the charger wire while it's plugged in. Not a single scratch or crack.

Mine has survived a 20 foot fall (which knocked the battery out) and a bounce into a puddle. Let it dry in a bag of rice after that and it worked after just a day in there! After a year of beatings, the screen still is scratch free!

Or maybe Nokia?

 

[CloudBusterr]

Mine gets dropped daily, once from 15ft tall bleachers. And once my dad left his on my jeep while I hosed it down. Both work perfectly.

 

[LeslieAnn]

No way.
I dropped a Nokia years ago from 3 feet onto tile and never did find the power button.

 

[poweredge99]

Showing my age .... I dropped my Motorola tel tac about 3 stories off a balcony ... lol anyhow I upgraded to a star tac .... and that was incredible. Dropped... left in snow ... man it was awesome. Even sold my mom one. Anyone remember the piper? We sold Nokia too. They were very fragile ... think I even had a onkyo phone.. if that's remembered right. Analog ruled .... now my kids Bob the builder Walkie talkies work better then those ... but they were tough ..
