Nokia Unveils New Luxury Phone
Durability?
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?
...
I must honestly disaggree on the breaking very easily. I bought a Siemens SL56 and it still works just fine, and the slider doesn't even feel lose at all. Plus I have a friend with the kyocera slider that only started getting loose after dropping down a flight of stars. I aggree they could be brittle, but only if you don't know how to take care of a cell phone.

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.
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 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.
