I have been treating my 'new arrival' like my third child. Swaddling to ensure its protected, keeping out of the sun, cleaning regularly :-)

But last night I went to see Avatar (brilliant movie BTW) and had the n900 in my pocket. As I was concerned it was getting crushed, I removed from pocket and placed on my lap with one hand over top.

Then (damn you James Cameron !) a splendid scene of mixed CGI, animation, human interaction took me away to 'Pandora' for a second and I forget about my 'baby'.

Next minute I hear a sound of 'heavy plastic' as it tumbles off my lap and 'clackerty-clack-clack' onto the concrete floor.

I gasped !

I pick it up and performed CPR. (Opened the keyboard)

It was still functioning - thank goodness. But what about the body work?

Well - here comes the moral of the story:

n900 from Nokia - $549
Ebay rubberized case and screen protector $4
Still having a functioning, un damamged and unscratched phone after a 2 foot fall onto concrete.......PRICELESS

Merry Christmas everyone.
