O2 XDA Zinc was dropped!!!!!!!!!!!!


hi everyone, i am new to these PDA phones and PPCs and last night i DROPPED my very new and precious (lol) O2 XDA Zinc. it fell on carpet and i was stitting in a chair and it landed face up. as far as i can tell, the device is in working order, and there are no dents dings or damage to the PDA.

anyways id just like some reassurance, can PDA phones handle at least "one" drop? if it wasnt a huge drop, expecially on concrete or something worse than carpet.

any reassurance would be much appreciated. thank you.

You shouldn't worry if it's still working but if you need reassurance, my Eten fell more that twice. All of them accidentally and it's still working great. Be careful though.

I like how you pointed out that they were accidental and not through frustration, although you mentioning it seems to me you atleast maybe thought about throwing across the room. :P
