Now whenever I get a new mobile phone my first thoughts are generally along the lines of, "I need to get home quickly to polish off the salesman's thumbprint from it's marred shiny surface." So for mobiles.co.uk to contact us with the challenge of coming up with the best way to destroy their offering of a Samsung U600, all thoughts of a cleaning cloth had to be wiped away.
There are obvious methods of destroying a phone such as using brute force (eg. with a hammer, the head of your ex-boyfriend etc.), but surely if this phone is going to meet it's untimely end, it would be far better and more useful to assist the world of science at the same time by performing an experiment.
We've all seen the effect that coca-cola has on a dirty coin by making it look fresh from the mint again after it's been soaked for a few hours. What would happen if a mobile phone was soaked in a glass coke for a few weeks? Would it start to disintegrate after a couple of days as I'm sure my large intestine has thanks to the brown drink of the gods? Or has technology come far enough to make the gadget that everyone takes to bars safe from the wobbly drunk guy over there barely clutching the fresh pint in his hand?
If we at gaj-it.com get the phone, we will keep a photo journal of the demise (or not- who knows?) of the Samsung U600. Let's see how it likes the coke side of life.

My N73 is the most annoying phone on the planet, it has the orange firmware and wow is it flaky. Ohhh, there has been several occasions where I have nearly smashed it, but what would be the most satisfying method:
drive over it with a monster truck or a tank (and wheel spin),
shove it in a blender and see if it blends,
throw it against the wall,
bash it with a sledge hammer,
smash it using a bulldozer,
drop it from the Hilton in Manchester,
attach it to a brick and drip it,
flush it down the toilet (or drop it in there and do something on it),
blow it up,
BBQ it,
attach it to a rocket and watch it smash into smithereens in the sky,
shoot it at the firing range and use it as the pigeon,
freeze it to subzero temperatures and see if it shatters,
blow it out of a cannon or fire it out of a catapult,
switch on the vibrate and shove it in the kettle
microwave it,
shove it in the exhaust of a dragster,
nail it to a tree with a nail gun then use an axe to smash it,
drill it in the charger slot….
You can tell the N73 has disturbed me a little ;)
I love all of these ideas and you’ve obviously spent many a sleepless night plotting the demise of your phone- might I suggest that it’s possibly time for an upgrade!
Here Here! I love all your ideas! What about shoving it in the exhaust of an annoying ex’s car, as you remember fruitfully the good all saying, ‘kill two birds with one stone’ (not literally though!) ;-)
