Default Re: Before you buy a Nexus One...a design flaw I discovered in a drop.

Quote:
If you look at it this way the phone weighs 130 grams and when dropped 1m it has an energy of 1.24 joules. thats equivalent to dropping 1.24 apples from the same distance. When the apple hits it will deform with a soft spot. I can push on an apple and cause a deeper soft spot than a 3ft drop. I'm just saying the facts dont add up to a 1m drop. I am just being brutally honest, many people who makes a mistake will use language that supports their argument. The OP was upset the metal deformed during a drop and i am asking if he is exaggerating the facts to support his view. I assume either the OP was standing and it sustained a 4-6ft drop or he tried to catch it and only succeeded in rocketing it into the ground, or I guess a third option is his phone was made of tin foil.
I understand, Im not trying to start an argument or anything but... are you taking into account the area of the impact? pushing does not simulate a drop.. think of "lying on a bed of nails" its close to the same thing.

Im probably getting way off topic here but hey, the OP already has a screwed up nexus no need to flat out say hes lying... besides... once your nexus is damaged theres no more reason to tell fibs Id be overcome with sorrow and grief
