- sp4rky, on 10/11/2007, -13/+390Idiot? No, there is nothing holding the iphone in the box once you pull the top off. Im willing to bet that happen to a lot of people.
- meez, on 10/11/2007, -16/+326BREAKING: Digg has a Video section.
- Dochtuir, on 10/11/2007, -15/+272If the iPhone can't take a few drops like that, it aint worth more than the box it come in
- Azimuth1, on 10/11/2007, -23/+250I actually feel bad for that guy.
- Djerrid, on 10/11/2007, -13/+194Or, you could do it on purpose like PC World:
http://www.pcworld.com/video/id,545-page,1-bid,0/video.html - crgnetworks, on 10/11/2007, -9/+159Lets see if we can get in the guinness book of world records for number of iphone stories on the homepage at once!
- Snorglorf, on 10/11/2007, -41/+152iPhone this iPhone that iPhone here iPhone there
BURIED - joel.smith, on 10/11/2007, -16/+126Do iPhones blend?
- staffell, on 10/11/2007, -69/+173good. that'll teach him to waste his money
- V1ncent, on 10/11/2007, -41/+126I don't feel bad for people that buy a 5-$600 phone with a 2 year service contract one bit
- maherjabr, on 10/11/2007, -5/+83The 2 year AT&T contract? lol
- yevkasem, on 10/11/2007, -5/+80so a 11mm thick phone has a 110mm thick box and the thing is barely able to stay inside? what's underneath that's so important, the white headphones?
- mstoneburner, on 10/11/2007, -16/+78Is there some way to filter out all of these lame-assed iPhone threads? *****, people, IT'S A PHONE, not the Second Coming.
- ahussain1986, on 10/11/2007, -4/+63I opened mine up at home, it fell the same way, thankfully I was smart enough to open it on the sofa. I think it was a dumbass move by apple to have the iphone sitting on the very top. Usually sensitive items like that are packaged safely within the box so that doesn't happen. Sucks for the guy, but he's stupid for opening a brand new iphone in a crowded area in front of a bunch of people that probably didn't get iphones.
- SirBriggs, on 10/11/2007, -0/+48God damn, are you people really getting upset? I was hoping for a sledgehammer or something.
- aecarol, on 10/11/2007, -7/+50What's the big deal? It still worked afterwards.
It's like people are are hyper paranoid about scratches on a brand new car. After three months of living in terror of every parking disaster, they settle down and start to enjoy life again. Why do people put themselves through "new expensive thing" damage fear?
Most things are pretty robust, and the little scratches from life don't seem so bad a month on. - Dyna4980, on 10/11/2007, -6/+403 second rule. Good thing he didn't just stare at it on the ground or he'd have to throw it away.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+33BREAKING: Your neck!
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -8/+39That's Apple design for you. Form over function.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+30BREAKING: I'm eating toast.
- bdlang, on 10/11/2007, -1/+26Yeah, but straight out of the store, opening the box for the first time, drop it face first on the pavement? That's a bit harsh. Not to mention someone video taped it and uploaded to the 'net.. then it was dugg so we can all look at the guy and have a laugh.
- AustinMeoang, on 10/11/2007, -4/+27I says you're an ass.
- Daveecee, on 10/11/2007, -5/+26BREAKING: Actually, they do!
- ErrorS, on 10/11/2007, -6/+27All the ghetto, uneducated fools that ride around in old beater tanks with 20'' rims and cheap $30 subs in the trunk where I live are white.. because people where I live are mostly white (some small hillbilly midwestern town in Indiana)
It's a cultural thing, not a racial thing. - maherjabr, on 10/11/2007, -5/+25You're an idiot
- SurrealDream, on 10/11/2007, -1/+21Dude, what the hell, it could happen to anyone.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -6/+24Don't act like you've never "wasted" your money on something as well.
- funknjunk, on 10/11/2007, -0/+17He looked kinda disappointed that it wasn't getting scratched or broken
- MrSunshine, on 10/11/2007, -1/+18"Thanks! Your report has been sent."
- fluxion, on 10/11/2007, -1/+18the saying has a commonly understood meaning
- daRoach, on 10/11/2007, -1/+18Maybe he wasn't trying to show off but was just excited to see the purchase he just made?
- leejae, on 10/11/2007, -0/+16I wished he threw it up high into the air. That would've been a drop test.
- gotcheeze5793, on 10/11/2007, -5/+21*cringe*
- willemmulder, on 10/11/2007, -16/+31if you watched the video you could see that it survived, and it worked like it should...
- whistlerpro, on 10/11/2007, -2/+15You posted your racist comment TWICE?
- nhassan, on 10/11/2007, -2/+15yeh, been going on for a whole week now.
- LethaLImpuLse, on 10/11/2007, -0/+13Lame, man.
- chilekillr, on 10/11/2007, -3/+15Then why did you post?
- fluxion, on 10/11/2007, -0/+12right. i think what the man is saying is that it's no big deal, and if it was, the iPhone would be worthless anyway
- signal15, on 10/11/2007, -6/+18Why not? Because they are doing better than you financially, or because they aren't and spend their money stupidly? It's disturbing how people always look down on others that aren't in the same wealth class as they are. The poor hates everyone that has more money than them, the middle class hates both the rich and the poor, and the rich hate everyone else.
- pob000, on 10/11/2007, -7/+19For people new to Digg, if you want to filter out a lot of the iPhone stories off the Front Page (and don't mind also not seeing Apple related stories) click Customise, untick Apple under Technology.
You can always retick it after the hype has died down :) - TheFBI, on 10/11/2007, -2/+14BREAKING: Wind.
- maherjabr, on 10/11/2007, -3/+14um... IT'S HIS JOB TO DO WHAT HE DID
- McTendo, on 10/11/2007, -5/+16You're just mad because your armpits are hairy.
- lightningrod220, on 10/11/2007, -3/+14If the will it blend guy does that to an iPhone before I get one, I'm gonna be pissed.
- ziffel, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11Do you even realize you racist ***** are more hated by the general white population than blacks are by you low-life, fatherless, neo-nazi, redneck *****?
Next time you shave your head, go stick it in an oven afterward. - emadsenus, on 10/11/2007, -3/+13you're all idiots. first off, the guy in the video had already opened his phone and turned it on. i bought one, it comes wrapped in some nice plastic and would only pop out like that after having unwrapped it.
- typographics, on 10/11/2007, -21/+31i bet his heart sank deep into his stomach.
- Knives, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11You're saying he's ghetto and he can afford an iPhone? I can't even afford an iPhone. Go crawl back in to your hillbilly cabin you jealous *****. (Life lesson; not all black people live in the ghetto. Specifically those who can afford expensive pieces of technology.)
- tw0bit, on 10/11/2007, -6/+15it WILL teach him to waste his money? i would think it would teach him NOT to waste his money...
