Breaking Nokia phones on purpose - Nokia Test Center (short version)

This cool video gives an inside peek at the Nokia Test Center in Southwood, UK. See how we twist, shake, drop, wet, and poke phones until they break. It's important you know. (this is the short version - there's a longer version with more)

[MichaelDiMarino]

yes, they torture phones and after they sell them (the same ones). that's why new nokias malfunction every five minutes.

how tough is nokia 5800xm?

[GauravA42]

Old Nokias were bloody strong, you could throw them against walls, now days, they are stylish and have larger screens, and more sensitive electronics inside, as would be expected. However these phones are nowhere near as strong as the old school models. A few Nokia phones have the bad choice of being made from flimsy glossy plasic, with complex cases and screen overlays, with lots of little bits to break. A unibody construction would be much more suitable.

Too bad they missed the absolutely dreadful battery cover on the N95. It'll get loose when you hold the phone and when the battery isn't held by anything... Oops.

[AeonRequiem]

Jeebus.... 14 phones a second. They should sell N97s cheaper. :3

[sox5404]

lool what about the n97 did you test the camera cover???it scratches the camera itself; and when i told nokia about this problem they are telling me that this is not included in the warranty.!!!!!!!!!!

a factory defect and not included in the warrenty i have nothing to say except fuck you my next phone will be an iphone they built the phone without any defect.

It's not necessary for sound to travel in space. You could convert it into light and then turn it back into sound once it reaches your cellphone.

[Xtclilium]

sound cant travel in the vaccum, so no can do.
