Watch the Nokia N8 and iPhone 4 get test tortured to death

18 February, 2011
When we buy a new phone we are always concerned if its body is scratch-resistant or will it get dirty quickly. This is essential information because when the time comes to sell it, the better it looks the higher price...

Yet Another Android, 19 Feb 2011And heres the iPhone 4 failing miserably: Antennaegate ... moreThe N8 software is so bad that in Australia Nokia extended the usual 28 day return period to 42 days,

What good is a phone that refuses to switch back on after the smallest bump?

Even Nokia has admitted failure by dumping Symbian and desperately teaming up with Microsoft.

    AnonD-2037, 19 Feb 2011Hi, only way to authenticate this kind of tests is followin... moreThe tests showed the iPhone 4 is tougher and has better reception than the N8.

    All the lies about the iPhone 4 were just that, lies spread mainly by those who didn't have them.

    Sometimes people find it hard to face reality, the truth hurts.

                    AnonD-769, 19 Feb 2011Now as considering ur link it clearly said units sold-30.3 ... moreObviously you have no clue that units shipped = units sold. Apple doesn't care whether or not once these devices are shipped if they're sold or activated, because retail stores and carriers pay apple for the devices, not consumers. So 30.3 Million Units shipped = 30.3 Million units sold genius. So again, I ask, where is the link to your credible "newspaper" since Nokia hasn't gone publicly stating the amount of N8 they sold? How did your "newspaper" get said information when it is not available? 11 million units sold? The only thing I see when I google up 11 million n8 is just "predictions" from nokia fanboy sites such as "nokiablog.org" or whatever.

                              This test is completely bias towards iphone 4.
                              1- they did not show the iphone 4 after the durability test and gave it a straight 3 stars.
                              2- they gave the iphone 4 3 stars even though the display was damaged during the heat treatment.
                              3- after the heat treatment, (before reboot and after reboot) process was not shown. they only show 2 separate clips 1 being damaged and other without. if a reboot can solve the damaged screen, then why not just show the whole process in a clip.

                                  Then u show some stupid comment by an unknown user.....

                                  And u claim that Nokia officially sold 11 million units.....Does your claim make any sense ???

                                  you are unable to provide a single link.....not even an unofficial one.....

I think you read it wrong as the closest link I found with regards to your claim says 11M N8 by the end of 2011.

                                      Read the link I posted above. It's the closest thing to your 11 million N8 sold.

                                        1. nokia strategy for selling alot of models and numbers is a failure.
                                        because apple only sell one and they succeed

                                        2. you admit that nokia were fooling consumers by not putting everything they got in their device.

                                        the 106millions devices is not all smartphone :D
                                        50.6million from apple its all from a smartphone.
