Nokia vs. Motorola - The Results

First of all.. Please forgive me for my tardiness in the exciting results of my cell-phone off! A business trip came up & all of a sudden I was packing instead of blogging. I'm sure you will understand...

Well, the votes have been counted & the results are in! You were correct! The Nokia survived its terrifying encounter with toilet bowl while the honey water was just to much for the Motorola. (Quite possibly the honey factor was just too much..)

The Results:

Accident #1 - After blowing the Nokia phone off I tried to turn it on again & there was nothing!t so I thought this phone was done. BUT.. a big BUT... For some odd reason I tried to turn it on again a week later & the lights came on, nothing else though. From there it basically sat in my car for a few weeks, still not usable I might add. Then in the summer I was attending a wedding & had gone back to my car to get my camera & I saw a light flashing in my car! This was odd... I soon realized that my phone was flashing and it was trying to do something but I'm still not sure what. Anywho, I was able to turn my phone on again! (with odd flashing though..) The Nokia had come back to life!! When I bought a new battery the flashing thing & sudden phone shutting off went away. The Nokia is still living on today & as you can see a few weeks ago the Nokia received a flashy new cover for all its hard work! But with a month left before I can upgrade my phone it looks like this old dog is going on to live the high life... being sold on e-bay!

Accident #2 - Upon returning home I was able to scope out the damage on the Motorola... The outlook was bleak to say the least. On the bright side, after I had charged the battery the phone did turn on.. That's about all it could do! It turned on, the inside LCD screen had no light, a grand total of 3 buttons now worked. This consisted of the power button, menu button & the phone button. Not Good! Like the Nokia I let this phone brew a bit but it showed no signs of improvement. I believe the "honey factor" was just to much for the Motorola. What did I do u ask? Well I got a"basic" phone in the meantime, a Samsung X426 (In the process of being tested!) In a surprise to my Fiance & since the casing was brand new, I purchased a used V300 & replaced the "guts" of the phone. She didn't seem as excited as I did about the revivement of the Motorola. I then sold the old unworking phone for $71.. Yes, some guy from Texas actually bought the unworking phone. Beats me!

So my grand conclusion in all this! First of all, don't put electronics in water.. obviously.. especially honey water, its a killer! Second, Nokia is far more superior in durability & quality as you the people will agree. Nokia is the clear winner & I solute them for their highly superior phones which can take the riggers of everyday life, including "accidents" that involve toilet water.

Nokia vs. Motorola #2

So, were back again another day for Super Cell phone challenge off thingy! With "Accident #1" now under my belt (literally!) its now time to move on to the next "test" which also happens to involve water (not the toilet kind though) I told you 2 pea's in a pod!

Accident #2 - This next "test" involved my fiance K & her 3 month old Motorola V300 (Blue one on the left). As you can tell this phone was newer & far more superior to mine in both features & price... Although I must admit that we got a good deal on this phone so this could have been far worse then it was.

About 3 months ago now, around March I went away on a business trip to De Moines, Iowa.. (Ya, ya I know that's a story in itself) Before I went away K had gotten really sick, so much so that she missed 2 days of work. At approximately 6:33 am Iowa style, I wake up to my phone beeping to let me know I have a text message. Being the early stages of morning I turned over for a second to acknowledge I wasn't dreaming then went back to sleep. 6:37 am Iowa style, my phone is beeping again. Ok, getting kinda annoyed considering I still have a solid 13 minutes of sleeping left but being the trooper I'am I managed to go back to sleep.. FOR 2 more minutes that is! Until the beeping returns.

OK, NOW I'M UP... & not to happy might I add! I go over to my phone & find 3 messages from K & they read like this:

Message 1 (6:33am) - I accidentally dropped my phone in honey water but I think its alright.
Message 2 (6:37am) - The outside screen is flashing now!
Message 3 (6:39am) - Wait, the outside one works but now the inside one isn't!

I quickly responded and told her to "SHUT THE PHONE OFF & don't turn it on again!".. Now, I will give her the benefit of the doubt because she was sick & probably sedated. Without even seeing the phone I was pretty sure it was toast.. Honey toast that is .. Or did the Motorola live to see another day?

Vote for which phone you think will SuRviVe (on the right). Results (& explanations) will be posted on Thursday...

Nokia vs. Motorola

If you were ever looking for a better consumer electronics tester you have come to the right place. The test, one Nokia 3595 (right) & one Motorola V300 (left) are pushed to their electronic limits through a series of rigerious test... Ok, not really they were just victims in 2 unfortunate "accidents".

To say that me & my fiance are two pea's in a pod would be hitting on the nose. At least in this case... Now closely examine the following two examples & let me know if you sight any difference between the male & female species.. Here we go!.

Accident #1 - This "test" involved me & my Nokia 3595 which was a mid-range cell phone when I bought it.. Last summer I was on a co-op work term & I was working overtime on a Saturday. When @ approximatly 1:01pm I got the afterlunch rumble which quickly prompted me to the men's room. Where I took the appropiate "office" of my choosing. After taking care of some business I went to buckle up & upon doing so heard an abnormally loud plop into the toilet. I then realized that my cell phone was in my side pocket of my pants & had decided to make a long distance fall into the toilet! And as quickly as it went in it came out! I had snagged it mid-sink... Immediatly, I tried to turn it off but to no avail the phone just shut off.. In a rush I took it back to my desk & compeletly dissassembled the phone & blew it out with an air hose.. I let it dry out for a bit & tried again but it seems that this phone had just bitten the bucket! or the toilet that is.. or had it?

Accident # 2 will follow... vote for what phone you think will survive!
