Actually it is. Since phones are intended for day-to-day use, they should be designed they way that they can withstand abuse. I admit there are those one off -freak accidents that can't be helped no matter what, but if the phone gets damaged and it could've been avoided with better design, then it is a design flaw.
Although you have to take into consideration aesthetics. Sure you *could* build the phone's exterior from bubblewrap or weld it together to stand nuclear war, but it wouldn't probably look as sexy that way
I'm not bashing N1 at all, it's a wonderful phone and I intend to get one myself soon. I think it's a design flaw to the extent where the design can be altered to add durability but without impairing the looks.
