Dodgy phones...When I was little I messed around with pretty much anything I could get my hands on, nothing I wouldn't take apart or potentially blow up. I only ever got one chemistry set. One was enough. No wonder I'm learning to be a scientist.
Anyway, I can't think of any particular stories off-hand, so I'll give one from a mate.
Had a friend called Ryan who'd just got a new phone, one of those old "rugged and sporty, honest" type phones.
"look, it's so tough it bounces" he said, bouncing it. And it did.
So he bravely tried it against other things. Walls, doors, concrete, etc, bounced off them all.
Turns out it couldn't withstand a 2ft drop onto carpet and wouldn't switch back on when he tried it :D
