What happens when your Nexus One falls from your pocket and hits the ground… The screen self destructs.
Sadly the second of our Nexus One’s died this afternoon in a spectacular fashion. Impressively the touch screen still works perfectly. But, as you can see the display is somewhat difficult to read.
To say I am disappointed with the build quality of the HTC / Google Nexus One – would be a touch of an understatement.
I have touted the sheer awesomeness of this phone to everybody who will listen, because it really is a fantastic device, unparalleled even by the iPhone.
From my time at Nokia, I know devices approved by the FCC must undergo “drop testing” and they must survive. How the Nexus One navigated it’s way through that testing astounds me.
I can only suggest that in this case, there was a build defect with this particular handset – in which case the phone should get replaced under warranty – which will be our next port of call.
My recommendation however… by a spare Nexus One or for those of us with modest earnings… be very… very careful.
