If you’re one of the lucky fellas who owns a Nokia N97, do check out this series of stress test videos done by the Nokia N97 Geeks. This is a six part series of tests from screen scratching to dropping the phone into several types of surfaces. Of course, all credit goes to the N97 Geeks.

Six videos after the jump.

How long to service a BlackBerry?

Jayvee Fernandez — Sun, 24 May 2009 16:38:09 +0000

It’s been more than a year and a half since my BlackBerry’s pearl conked out and I’ve already weathered through 3 phones. I had the unit sent back to RIM last year as this is apparently the only solution to servicing the unit. I was warned that it would take at least 6 months. It’s been much more than that. Not that I’m really complaining. I think it’s owed to the fact that I easily found a replacement unit. Nonetheless I’d like to get your insights on the matter: how long did it take to service your BlackBerry? Do tell me where you’re from as this really does affect the time table of service.

What was the worst damage you’ve ever done to your mobile phone?

Jayvee Fernandez — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 18:51:42 +0000

So I dropped my phone (yet again) square on the pavement yesterday. I had barely noticed the small chip on the front plate of my Nokia N82’s real estate due to several phone calls that came in. The calls were a huge distraction to the apparent sinking of the lower 1/3 of my phone’s keypad. This made text messaging a bitch the following day (I fell asleep inside the cab and didn’t touch my phone the entire night).

I think the way we treat our mobile phones sort of reflects the way we treat our health. I recently got a huge bout of food poisoning from my hawker experience in Singapore and it really sucked the juices off me. Any sane guy would have gone to see a doctor – but no – not me. I hung around the 3 day conference finishing off a packet of carbon pills and antacids. Holy crap (literally).

And yeah, the thing with my phone – I believe that the first fall screws up the phone, and the second fall jingles the insides back to normal. Heh. So here I am, stubborn as ever, wanting to not part with this N82, even if Nokia lent me another phone to try out. I believe that some miracle would fix the small chip on the side – maybe if it fell again on the opposite direction, it would have matching crevices. Neat-o. Talk about the fashion series.

What’s the worst damage you’ve done to your phone?
