durability in question

[invertme]

That's pretty impressive and I'm not calling into question the screen quality, just the thin trim that borders around the LCD panel.

Anyways, I already purchased another Lumia 900. I did get my original for ~-70 or so dollars. I also have the Lumia 800 and the N9 to add to my collection of Nokia phones.

I was suspect about that rim too. I could totally see the frame of your seat damaging it. It would be like two knife blades coming together. Overall though I think this phone is a tank.

Oddly enough I don't think its nearly as durable as my original Samsung Focus. I know people like to comment and say it's all cheap feeling but that thing can just take a beating.

I like Nokia because I use to have one of their dumbphones and I would kick it and intentionally throw it against the wall and still survived. I suspect in this day and age of glass screens that won't be possible.

I dented the rim on my first L900 in the first week of use. I would say durability wise this the L900 Achilles Heel.

@Dave Blake, are you back to a 900 now?

Darn Board Express won't let me quote after the update.

Yea the border that surrounds the glass screen. It looks plastic and it damages like plastic. It was a bad call for Nokia to get rid of the curved glass like they have on the Lumia 800.

you get what you pay for, except when you buy an apple then you get half of what you pay for.
why dont you shell out the big bucks for a l800 or n9? i paid 600 for my n9, its the.

Funny I read this thread on the first day I ever noticed a flaw on my L900. There's a very slight dent on the rim, one that you'd never notice unless you owned the phone and looked very closely.

I have no idea where this could have come from, as the only drop I've had was on a carpeted surface (whew). However, it is a bit disappointing that the rim wasn't made of the same high-grade polycarbonate that the housing case was.

I saw this happening on my L900 as well! It's a shame but anyway it's only noticeable to me. Most people just stare at the screen .

No dents or scratches after nearly two months. Yes, I case my phone and don't fling it around the room regularly. But maybe that's just me.
