Nokia Unveils New Luxury Phone
Durability?
sprintguytx said:I would assume that a handset with a stainless steel outer cover and stainless steel ball bearings for the slide mechanism would be pretty durable. Nokias usually display above average durability anyway.
Too many people look at just how cool the phone looks...we all know from the past that slider phones from the "Matrix Phone" to the LG 325 have all become well known for breaking very easily let alone becoming very annoying while trying to talk. Does anyone think this one will be any different? Especially since its from Nokia?
After that I had a 5190. Dropped that out a car window while driving. The screen cracked, but the pghone STILL works.
Had a 3390 & I has been thrown, dropped, kicked, everything imaginable. STILL WORKS!
My point is... Nokia is a company that knows the consumer is not that careful. They build their products to last for YEARS.

I agree. I owned Nokia phones for yeeeeears. I had a Nokia 2190 (reeeeally oldschool) back in the early 90s (when i was in highschool). Dropped that thing in a toilet & it STILL works to this day.

I have to say that Nokia has amazed me for the last couple of years. Nokias used to be LOW end phones that were usually free. But within the last few years, they have been coming out with MANY Top models. Also, they have come out with some ground breaking models too (Like NGage) Although it would be nice to see more flip phones from them.
