Nearly all modern smartphones are fragile and there's no doubt about it. Changes are that regardless of its make and model, a single drop onto anything harder than hardwood floor will result in permanent damage to one's beloved device. The BlackBerry Z10 is no exception, as it becomes evident from this recently conducted drop test...

I woouldnt say that. There are manufactures that made rugged phones specifically to handle drops and being in water. The Casio G Zone Commando, I think Moto did one too.

yes, but right here we're talking about premium class smartphones, not phones that are made to be rugged and withstand all kinds of nasty conditions like the GZone e.g.

i disagree with you! nokia phones are really tough built and its not even certified to be shock proof or whatever rugged specific that you want on it!

Well they are one piece plastic. I guess one piece plastic is more rugged than glass, metals, and multi piece plastic.

I've had my doubts about the digitizer tech they've used on the Z10, and this doesn't help my doubts at all, but I'll have to test it myself to see how it feels. Even John V. said that the screen smudges really easily, which is one of my biggest pet peeves. I'm not sure why they didn't opt for better materials when it came to such an essential part of the phone.

Cause they want bigger margin?
Even till now we're not sure what type of CPU they are using...

This type of test is hard to actually draw conclusions from: with any phone, a change in a few tenths of a degree when dropped, or a slight shift in rotation speed/angle can make the difference between a small cosmetic scratch or a cracked and unusable screen: some phones are very strong when dropped in a certain way and a slightly different way will see them shatter whilst another type would be almost unscathed.
