Comment HTC Touch down an elevator shaft and more (Score 1) 422
While trying to answer a call I lost control of the phone and it fell down the slightly-bigger-than-a-phone gap between the elevator shaft and the car. 6 Floors to the basement. Two weeks later it was returned to me by building maintainence and with a new battery it worked perfectly.
Then, a couple of weeks later, it fell from my pocket into the snow at the top of a ski-run in Whistler. An hour later when I discovered it was missing, I called it and it had been picked up by a fellow skier. Apart from a slice on the plastic from being skied over it was 100%.
