Between this and playing with it at the store (where I learned the keyboard was a definite NON-issue -- I typed with two hands faster than I could with my Crackberry!), I think I'll open it up and activate it. Yeah, its definitely not going to replace my Blackberry but it'll give it a good "fun for its money".

I just wish their bluetooth headset was for sale. For whatever reason, I'm in love with that small earpiece.]]>Jun 30th 2007 6:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stress-test-how-did-it-do/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stress-test-how-did-it-do/Just put in into "Will it blend",

Take out your keys and try to scratch a glass window or a mug. Unless the glass is already defective it's unlikely you can do it. The reason glasses shatter is because they're thin self-supporting structures and when dropped, they deform enough to shatter.

The glass screen of the iPhone is a hardened glass sheet held against a solid block of electronics and shell, so it's unlikely it'll deform enough to shatter if dropped and unlikely it can be scratched by keys.

Now.. you want a serious test?

Stick it in your back pocket and sit in a hard chair.

Or you could try to replicate what happened to my MP3 player - it was in a jacket pocket and got trapped between my hip and the seat armrest at a theater which ended up putting enough pressure on the display that it cracked the outer plastic shell (fortunately, not the display).

Or heck, just pick it up and try to FOLD it and snap it. That would be about the same as dropping something on it while it's resting at an angle against a hard object.]]>Jun 30th 2007 7:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stress-test-how-did-it-do/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stress-test-how-did-it-do/Jun 30th 2007 7:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stress-test-how-did-it-do/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stress-test-how-did-it-do/Jun 30th 2007 7:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stress-test-how-did-it-do/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stress-test-how-did-it-do/Jun 30th 2007 5:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stress-test-how-did-it-do/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stress-test-how-did-it-do/Jun 30th 2007 4:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stress-test-how-did-it-do/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stress-test-how-did-it-do/Jun 30th 2007 7:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stress-test-how-did-it-do/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stress-test-how-did-it-do/Jun 30th 2007 9:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stress-test-how-did-it-do/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stress-test-how-did-it-do/Jun 30th 2007 9:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stress-test-how-did-it-do/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stress-test-how-did-it-do/
If you believe idiots like Rob Enderle, the iPhone's screen is supposed to crack instantly when you drop it on any surface. Clearly that is not true, and is more durable than people thought.]]>Jun 30th 2007 9:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stress-test-how-did-it-do/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/30/iphone-stress-test-how-did-it-do/
