Guest philgriffiths Posted January 1, 2003 Report Posted January 1, 2003 Has anyone got much of an idea of how durable the SPV is I only ask since i drop my current phone ( a motorola V60) all the time, especially when ive been in the pub with my mates. I dont expect to give my SPV such a battering as its not nearly as fiddly as my V60. I just wanna know if i breath on this thing heavy am i gonna be running to the carphonewarehouse with my lovley new phone in pieces.

Guest dhutchison Posted January 1, 2003 Report Posted January 1, 2003 Dropped in the pub last night, didn't even scratch it. A few guys on here have even dropped in the toilet...
Guest philgriffiths Posted January 1, 2003 Report Posted January 1, 2003 so its great with pub floor then. Thats all i really wnated to know. had a few phones before that have been had seriously bad build and durability. but i dont think I'll risk it in the Toilet!!

Guest philgriffiths Posted January 1, 2003 Report Posted January 1, 2003 sorry bout the typos in the last post. Been enjoying my new years day a bit too much!

Guest budda Posted January 1, 2003 Report Posted January 1, 2003 Had my SPV in my jeans pocket last night. Got attacked from behind at 2am and slammed me to the tarmac road surface infront of moving traffic too :roll: Watch glass has circles from the shock impact. SPV survived perfectly. No cracked screen, cracks or unusual faulty behaviour. It also surived the fight which continued from this. And the end when I kicked seven shades of sh*t out of the guy and left him unconcious on the roundabout. 8) So the SPV can survive street fighting too :twisted:
Guest philgriffiths Posted January 2, 2003 Report Posted January 2, 2003 hahaha bet that was satisfying, but its not very 'budda' is it?
Guest Drift3r Posted January 2, 2003 Report Posted January 2, 2003 I recieved my phone on Monday evening, and by tuesday morning I'd somehow managed to scratch my phone's screen with little marks that wouldn't come off! Thing is, I'm sure my phone wasn't with anything to do that, and it just shows how easy it is to scratch the screen, so just to warn you guys, be careful what you put in your pocket with the SPV. On a good note, orange has kindly offered to replace my phone seeing as I'm still within the 7 day return window :D
Guest elementalist Posted January 2, 2003 Report Posted January 2, 2003 I put mine in a rucksack pocket with a set of keys for about 10 minutes and the face his loads of little scratches :( Grr They aren't really that visible though - it seems the optimum viewing angle for the screen is not the same as for the scratches, if that makes sense? Has anyone got a link for buying that wipe-on stuff that fills in scratches on glass?
Guest budda Posted January 2, 2003 Report Posted January 2, 2003 On a good note, orange has kindly offered to replace my phone seeing as I'm still within the 7 day return window :D I thought it was 14-days return? My is within the 14 days, today I noticed some chip marks on the top of the handset. Its faulty to hell anyway - you reckon Orange will still replace it seeing as its not just external damage but technically knackered anyway? :?
Guest th0mz Posted January 2, 2003 Report Posted January 2, 2003 yeah I dropped mine in the tiolet, a new battery and a hard reset did the trick :D amazing!!!!!!!!!
Guest budda Posted January 2, 2003 Report Posted January 2, 2003 How do you do the hardreset and what is the danger of losing things? (ie what should i backup) ??
Guest kernowmagic Posted January 2, 2003 Report Posted January 2, 2003 I know that brasso is good for getting scratches out of glass but i have never tried it on a spv i dunno what the outcome would be. If you are going to try it try it on a little part of the screen first just to see if there is a bad reaction.
Guest MungoJ Posted January 2, 2003 Report Posted January 2, 2003 Do a search for Displex - apparently it works wonders.
