iPhone 3G torture tests emerge - Will it Blend
written by Ciro - July 14, 2008 10:00

With the 3G iPhone fresh out the door, PC World have rather eagerly tested how durable the phone is. It's also been victim to the latest "Will It Blend" test.

Froot Loops and milk are also no match for this handset. After dropping the iPhone in a bowl of delicious cereal--not once, but twice--the phone was fully operational, even before towelling it off. When washed in a sink with lukewarm water and generic hand soap, the iPhone also came out unscathed... and smelling great.

Alas, chinks in the 3G iPhone's armor developed with the onset of our drop tests. The first drop produced a small nick in the beautiful 3.5-inch touchscreen (as well as the appearance of internal condensation, presumably from the cereal/water tests), as well as scuffing and dents on the treated plastic backing.
