BlackBerry Smartphone Durability Testing: Bend and Flex Test

Part of a series of BlackBerry smartphone durability testing, this video illustrates a "Bend and Flex" test designed to illustrate how BlackBerry smartphones have been designed to withstand a level of bending. For example, sitting on a phone that you've left in your back pocket will cause it to flex in this manner.

@MrSmallWalrus it proves that in "real world" situations you can be rest assured your blackberry can withstand the occasional water spillage on the phone, the phone accidentally being dropped from a table and in case you accidentally sat on it, it will still work. this only shows the extreme amount of pressure the phone can stand until it will eventually break. .
