Maggots up in arms over new bendy iPhone

Nokia 6310. Best phone I ever had. 430 hours battery life, and unconcerned by any bell-end emails.

What I meant was......  Surely if you are spending so much on a telephone I thought you might consider that sitting on it might not do it any good.  I don't sit on my iPad, use it as a tray for hot drinks, use it as a cutting board etc.... Because it cost a pile of cash and I don't want to break it.

That isn't what is happening though, they are getting bent from being in front pockets whilst sitting down, which isn't the same as being sat on.

I would imagine the 'ergonomically curved' 6S is, er, just round the corner....

I still use one for business, best phone ever made for it's purpose. I carry that one in my money pocket and iphone in normal pocket

Mine last a good day and a half or 2 days if I'm not constantly using the net. Bluetooth and apps which constantly check the net like facebook are the worse culprits I think when it comes to hammering the battery

I usually get two days per charge on my 4S.

My 4 goes a day of being used lots, Spotify, wifi etc, and it's nearly 3 years old. Really impressive compared to phones I've had in the past. 

The length of time I plan to keep it is the reason I'm a touch hesitant about the 6, but I won't know how much the wobble on a table bugs me until I see one for real.

Silly people juts don't sit down with it in your trousers, the phone I mean.

Meanwhile if this is not a hoax how do these folks manage to exist without joining the ranks of the Darwin awards?

Maybe you shouldn't stick it in your pocket and then sit on it.  Would you sit on a new guitar and then taking it back complaining because it was broken?

Accidents happen. I've sat on my Sony Xperia Z a few times due to not engaging my brain at the appropriate time, and it's survived each time. One was a 3 hour car journey.

Also...the waterproofness is actually quite useful. I'd never dunked my phone or spilled anything on it, until the day I got the Xperia Z and my brother promptly spilt a pint on it half an hour after I'd taken it out of the box.
