    Re: Reporter breaks an 'unbreakable' mobile phone at CES

    This is absolutely hilarious... the phone reminds me of the old Nokia phone that came with a similar casing... it was an orange casing... but that one was said to be weather proof and padding for drops, definately not indestructable HAHHAHA
