Motorola CLIQ meets the ground

I was happily enjoying CLIQing around Android, Google’s push into the mobile market before the following happened. Before we show you the ensuing drama, we are issuing a content advisory for the faint hearted. If you love your clean and shiny new phone, you may not enjoy the graphic images. (Click on the images to increase the gore levels)

The phone fell screen first on the floor, hitting a bolt in the ground before coming to a shattering halt. Screams of anguish could be heard at the time of the incident. Amazingly the phone still works, even the touch screen. I had a thin film of plastic to protect the screen from scratches. I wonder if it helped from any additional damage.

Here is a negative shot to better analyze the damage.

Perhaps it’s time to invest in a case next time.
