I rear-ended a car on the freeway, my car caught on fire, by instinct, I started recording with my N900.

Ok, so, to sum it up:
N900 was attached to a GPS Stand, attached to the front windshield by a sucker. I had it connected to the car sound through a P2 cable. Night-time. Animal crosses road. Try as I might to compensate the resulting oversteer, car ends up on the grass by the roadside.

Dude, you are focusing on 'is my cell phone alright?' after a near death experience. You should talk to someone. *pet*
It wasnt my first thought however, the other priorities took over for a while, its only now I can reflect on how well it did (and how not well I did!) Now with the metal in me, im closer to having the n900 strength.....although I dont plan on doing that again!
I'll do show and tell too:
After my op to put me right - Clicky
The brain surgery scar - Clicky
How i normally look (for comparison) - Clicky

I know what you mean about drunk accidents, and as much as others may say this, I'm really not normally like that. I dont drink to excess, but apparently this time I did. It doesnt help that I've have no memory of that day, even when I was sober, but my friends say I was drunk, so I have nobody to blame but myself

my greatest n900 fall was 3-5 feet. and its winter with a freezing -26 decrees Celsius. because of snow covering the ground, no scratches, i did not even heard the device fell or a "BLAG!!" sound.
still, that experience almost killed me! everything on the device itself is still working.
@number41: good thing you are okay, and still you got the strength to look for your n900.

I imagine things could have gone much worse if you had it plugged to a car charger....

i have always used the OTTER BOX case and i have to say that this case saved my phone. the phone slammed so hard on the ground that the bezel around the screen (part of the case) flew off and the metal surround on the screen was knicked. I also always use a screen protector (mine is an iphone protector that i cut to fit my n900) aside from that the slider was a little weird after that but the phone has always remained fully functional.
THE MORAL OF THIS STORY.... BUY AN OTTERBOX CASE!!!!!!
