    I have one in a drawer. My fave trick was sidearming it 50m and not breaking it. Nokia has nothing on this skimming stone.

    It’s running CM9 but very, very slowly. I made a video of the speed regression.

    CM7 was way faster.

      I had a sony xperia go about a decade ago. One time I decided to see if I could even break it. I threw it up in the air in a concrete parking lot as high as I could (about 50-70 feet I think) and it landed on the concrete, nothing but some scratching on the plastic.

      But I will say that today I have a Pixel 8 and I dropped quite a few times, some of which left me scared to look, and it is holding up amazingly.
