Cellphones get broken by tight jeans

Cellphones get broken by tight jeans according to a recent survey by manufacturer Siemens. Just one of the more common ways of destroying your mobile.

Reminds me of common notebook computer accidents – like leaving a pen or pencil on the keyboard and closing the screen. Or the incident a friend (who serviced notebook computers) told me about the guy who’d taken everything out of the boot of the car to repack it, forgot to put the notebook bag back in the car at the end, and reversed over it. Data recovered but case, keyboard and screen were history.
