Shripad, please do a review / list down points of what you thought was wrong with Galaxy S, if you have time.
btw, what happened with getting a Desire from Singapore ?

Lord Nemesis said:Build quality is indeed pathetic for a premium device like this. They seem to have made a trade off between build quality vs thickness and weight. Its somewhat better than what I had expected before I went for the demo, but sill I would rather have a sightly thicker and heavier phone with better build quality. Still to be fair, my Galaxy S has had a couple of free falls already without incident, not sure whether I should attribute it to luck or build quality.
I'd say it's not luck but the build qualityluckyishere said:I guess Luck![]()

Bubble wrap works as protection not so much because of the fact that it's made out of plastic, but because it's got air pockets in it. Metal bodies in phones are 100% more durable than plastic bodies - whether it's normal wear and tear, or even if you drop the phone.Parv said:I'd say it's not luck but the build quality
Plastic would take and damp these kind of shocks much better than metal. Think about the build quality of bubble wrap which safeguard your stuff inside packaging.![]()
I don't agree with the "even if you drop the phone" part. Ofcource plastic absorbs more shock than metal! How can you deny that?! I mean there is a reason both the front and back bumpers in cars are made of plastic, and not metal! There are special "crumple zones" in every car which are *designed* to crumple in case of the accident to absorb the shockvebk said:Bubble wrap works as protection not so much because of the fact that it's made out of plastic, but because it's got air pockets in it.

The reason why cars have plastic bumpers is because it's cheaper to replace a plastic bumper than a metal bumper. And this is in recognition of the fact that bumpers are put at the exact parts of the car which are most likely to get dents and scratches. If we go by your logic, why are cars not entirely made of plastic? As far as crumple zones go, they are made of metal AFAIK not plastic.kalpik said:I don't agree with the "even if you drop the phone" part. Ofcource plastic absorbs more shock than metal!
