Hi all, can anyone have any thoughts on the durability of the 820's screen? I found many posts complaining how the 820's screen cracks easily even on small drops. I have ordered the phone and thinking if i should cancel the order. Thanks in advance
I would suggest dont go over reports if you are habitual of handling the phones good. if you got your previous phones slipped out of your hand, am not sure not even 820, but if any other phone would be how much intact. I am having 2 of these and have it all good so far ........ touchwood.Its an outright purchase. Thats why i am very concerned. I won't be able to purchase another phone for a long time after that, so i need to be careful. I absolutely love the design of the 820. One of the best i've seen. I read through the thread you linked, before starting this thread. I wasn't satisfied since some say it took many knocks, while others say it was very fragile. Many even speculate some of the posts to be troll posts, so i'm concerned.
Good point.My point is the 820 is an international device, and a very small % of postings in this thread speak of a fragile screen.
Doesn't it add a lot of bulk to the 820, considering it already has a some already?you can get extremely inexpensive cases on Ebay, Amazon, and often right here on the Mobile Nations store. I know I am determined to keep a case on my phones, regardless of durability.
I currently have a Nokia 701. It slipped from my hand once from a short height, but with some considerable force due to the nature of my sudden movement. I thought it was a definite goner, but true to Nokia's history of durability, it survived with some minor dent on the plastic, near the top of the screen. I only had a screen guard on. I was quite surprised when I read about durability issues on the Nokia 820.I would suggest dont go over reports if you are habitual of handling the phones good. if you got your previous phones slipped out of your hand
