CES, Reporter Breaks "Unbreakable" Mobile Phone

Posted by samzenpus on Monday January 11, 2010 @05:03AM from the what-has-been-done-cannot-be-undone dept.

ChiefMonkeyGrinder writes "Reporter Dan Simmons from the BBC's technology show Click managed to break a mobile phone marketed as 'unbreakable' (video), during a demonstration at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas." The phone can survive a 10 story fall, being submerged 20 feet for 30 mins, and you can use it to hammer a nail; but it's no match for a British journalist.

That is the most blatant false advertising since my lawsuit against the movie, The Neverending Story.

Are you sure he wasn't French?
He said the guy apologized, not surrendered.

You all have it wrong, technically he apologised.

I hereby suggest "but it's no match for a British journalist" as a new catchphrase.
