omg this handset is tough

[adisize]

i jus dropped it from the top of 18 steps and it didnt even scratch!

it fell from the top hit bout 3/4 of the steps.

and on the last step it took like a 3 foot bounce.

omg im so happy:D

Wow, that is amazing, I'm glad it's fine. I use the little strap a lot as I'd hate to drop it :)

[Bristol_user]

U sure you posted in right phone? lol didnt think mine would stand even small drop

[garyhay]

I never got a little strap. Was it in the box

Yes, it should've been, a black leather strap, most of the N series have them :)

I have to disagree... slightly.
I took my phone to the park with my daughter and decided to check out the picture abilities while pushing her on the swing. However, as I waited for the picture to capture she was swinging back towards the phone and kicked it clean out of my hand!!:eek:
Anyway, it's bouncy tarmac so the phone survived, none of the pieces fell apart but it did get scratched on one corner. :(

One other thing, if you purchased the phone via three, you'll see that in the "what's included in the box" bit that it clearly states that you'll receive a wrist strap and screen cloth... neither of which I received. (also niether of which I'll use).
However, out of principle I called 3-sales from where I purchased the phone, explained that I wanted the wrist strap because i didn't want my phone to get damaged and I was expecting to have received one.
The girl spoke to her manager who agreed to credit my account with £10 as a goodwill gesture. :)

Useful to know....

I dropped mine whilst walking down the street and it now has a nice big dent in the corner by the screen! Also the silver paint is all scuffed round the bottom of the phone but this isn't from it being dropped. I don't understand why this is happening because I always take care of all my phones. You can't get fascias for them on ebay either which is annoying

Thanks for the info on the £10 credit. My N73 was also shipped with out the strap or cloth. I just spoke to three, they tried to fob me off with only £5 good will but I managed to get a tenner.

So far i'm pretty pleased with the handset, all except for the lack of reoccuring alarm clock.

[thetargetarcher]

My N73 from 3 came without a wrist strap and cloth. They credited me with £10 on my first bill

[robwells13]

Yeah mine gets dropped out of my pocket (accidentally) every lunchtime break on the swing, it has never got dented scratched or n e fin the fone still works fine execpt for the glitches with the software that ive always had. Mines a Vodafone, i keep it in a sock, this might explain some of the lack of scraches? maby............

[sunking101]

The phone is made of PLASTIC and thin plastic at that. I can't see it being any more robust that any other phone.

BOY O BOY

Are Three generous told them I didn't get strap or cloth and got £5 each credit to account. Then moaned that it didn't even come with a standard 64Mb card like 6680 did and got further £10. RESULT!!!!:D :D

They will probly scam me for it later:eek:

[leonintelex]

No strap or cloth with mine either, I think I will be givig Three a call later :cheeky:

And there is new covers availble on ebay I noticed, looks pretty complex to put together though (has about 30 parts)
I have not seen the quality either, if anybody does purchase one then let us all know what it is like.

[robwells13]

was it meant to come with a 64mb card??? mine didnt..............

[fox]

was it meant to come with a 64mb card??? mine didnt..............


No it def isn't. Mine was sim free and didnt come with a card

[Psalm23]

No it wasn't but the guy who sold me it at upgrades said it would come with one, so I pushed the point till they broke!!!!!

Owt for Nowt
