I went on vacation and arrived in the condo. I went on the balcony and took a photo. I went to make a setting adjustment and my Lumia 920 slipped. Down it went three stories, slamming on its back and more to the top right corner. The screen was lit during the plummet and immediately off when it hit the pavement.
A friend ran down and got the phone, but it would not turn on. I pressed the power button, I plugged it in... nothing. The phone was a little warm in the back. I inspected the phone. No screen cracks, no case cracks or scuffs. A dent where it hit, the sim card flew out (retrieved). The volume buttons stuck and will not move. The screen was slightly raised from its white body only by millimeters.
The phone is doomed and now I need a new one. The next day we drove to an AT&T store and I got a green Lumia 1520. Amazing phone. It's noticeably faster than the 920 and apps runs so quickly. It is the app performance I wish every Windows Phone experienced.
Fast forward one week, which is today. I plugged my Lumia 920 into a charger, it vibrates. The screen comes on and the battery icon comes up. A minute later, the phone boots up. So far, everything is functional but the physical volume buttons. The corner where the sim card goes is damaged, and the sim card will not fit all the way back in.
I am really impressed that the phone would drop three stories onto pavement, would turn on and be functional. Aside from the sim card not fitting back in yet and the volume buttons damaged, it works. :grin:
