Yea, my 3G iPhone has gotten quite scratched up pretty quickly, buts its taken quite a few spills and there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. I treat it like its any other cell phone. It's surprisingly build pretty tough. Besides, should anything happen... Apple's got my back.
yeah i bet they do]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21415007 Wed, 12 Nov 2008 08:09:24 EDT Re: makes sense... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21413795 Titus Pullo : Not that big of a difference; still very close to 1 in 10 for all phones.

Yesterday I had a guy come in and he insisted that his phone was effective because it dropped a call (like no one has ever have that happen to them) he spoke with the manager and they exchanged his phone]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21410219 Tue, 11 Nov 2008 12:08:23 EDT Re: makes sense... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21408336 Angralitux : you can't what? a drop happens to anyone, they are accidents. what I will let you say people tend to baby more their iphones, but drops happen, and more than often.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21408336 Mon, 10 Nov 2008 23:44:02 EDT Re: makes sense... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21408329 Angralitux : it's not incorrect, I was just extrapolating the sense common people have about apple products; and I'm not morphing anything, numbers on that study speak for themselves.

Dont get me wrong, I'm not an apple fanboy, I'm just a former imac owner, wich in fact wasn't used by me (well just a few times :D ), I havent owned an ipod even or any other apple product (besides the imac), nor am I interested, mostly because the price.

most people I know wich own an iphone, dont complain about reliability of the phones.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21408329 Mon, 10 Nov 2008 23:41:13 EDT Re: makes sense... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21406324 TCub : Yea, my 3G iPhone has gotten quite scratched up pretty quickly, buts its taken quite a few spills and there's absolutely nothing wrong with it.

You're drawing an incorrect conclusion here. This study is about specific products, and you're trying to morph it into a general statement about other products.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21404149 Mon, 10 Nov 2008 09:54:52 EDT Re: makes sense... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21404057 TKJunkMail :

But don't drop it:
A full 12 percent of iPhone failures are because the owner dropped it, spilled coffee on it, or otherwise stopped treating it like the delicate computer that it is. That compares to a 9 percent failure rate due to accidents for all other phones

People will have to coddle the device. Saw the best one last week. Lady had the iphone in her pocket bent over, phone fell, and crack... screen was shattered. Phone still worked though.

BlackBerries tend to get a little more abused....]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21404007 Mon, 10 Nov 2008 09:24:56 EDT makes sense... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21403978 Angralitux : It's not only a pretty gadget, but a durable one too. That explains why people like and prefer apple products to say, a dell in the pc market. I'm not saying Dell quality is inferior (most of their products are far from it), but people are given the choice of a equal quality product, they will choose whatever they feel is more friendly for them.

Being a former iMac owner, I can swear by the quality of apple products.

PS. I haven't own an Ipod/Iphone :)
