    Default Whoa.... this phone rocks.


    I dropped my G1 twice from about a bit below my waist.. man no scratches, no crack on the screen (one of the times it fell face first down).... let's see the iPhone do that... I only had the default screen protector that came with phone. The craftsmanship is impressive on this phone. I love it!!

    Btw, i just got my OTA RC29 update in Seattle, WA 3:00pm.

    I wouldn't suggest you turn your G1 into a crash dummy, Just to see how much pain it can with hold.

    Glad to know your G1 survived the falls! I haven't dropped mine yet (knock on wood), but I remember the first time I dropped my first iPod.

    I had the iPod in my front shirt pocket walking back from class to my apartment. For some reason, I got the wild hair to jump and touch the balcony on the floor above... Don't ask why, as I have no clue... I suppose it had something to do with rocking out to the tunes...

    Well, the iPod jumped outta my pocket, and fell all the way down to cement. So, just standing, my pocket is probably 5 feet off the ground, jumping, probably 6, and it launched out of my pocket, so probably 6.5/7 feet down... straight to the cement.

    I was sick. The smack it made... made me cringe. Luckily, the screen wasn't broken. It had dented a corner of the metal backing, deeply scratched another, and scratched some of the front plastic piece.

    And to make it worse, for the first time, I attempted to take the iPod apart, and smooth out the dinged corner. In doing so, I broke the cable that connected the mobo to the headphone jack. Luckily though, I bought a replacement ribon cable for like... $10 and fixed it myself. It was fun.

    Wow... I rambled there... sorry about that.

    Or he can be the first person to conduct stress tests on the G1, either way

    Unlike him, I suggest you turning your G1 into a crash dummy, just to see how much pan it can with hold and report back to us with your studies.

    Will it blend is different then scientific studies on how much the G1 can endure.
