Always On - Torture testing the Nokia Lumia 900

[@xueminshen]

The Water Test is the funniest, in fact the most funny thing I've seen!

[@dilerboi]

that is true, it is the minerals within common water that make a conductive solution.

[@Ronnet]

Windows Phone is fantastic. Seeing it in motion makes you understand that these tiles serve a purpose. It is a function-based OS, both the design and functionality goes throughout all apps. Once you realize what this means in practice you simply can't go back to Android/iOS. Like Windows for PC, Android and iOS are just launchers to run isolated applications. Windows Phone is so much more, add the speed and (power-)efficiency of the OS and it just offers an unrivaled experience.

[@davidvkimball]

"Too bad it's a Windows Phone" Oh yeah, I bet you've actually tried it.

[@RyanGill86]

I don't know if I can handle them doing this to such a beautiful piece of art as the Lumia 900...

[@Nesserris]

Watching this on my Lumia 900, I feel so proud holding it.

[@UnrealOG137]

Same. Jk

[@njx1993]

A Nokia Phone. The only phone to ever make you ask yourself if the ground was ok.

[@addeyphoenix]

I wish you guys would test the speakers of the phone after all the test!

[@blazinator]

"Too bad it's a windows phone" is the real fail in this video.

[@hitherescotty]

It's the small amount of salt in the water that allows for conductivity. The salt separates into ions (Such as Na+ and Cl-). Without these ions (a.k.a. 100% pure water), you don't get conductivity.

[@ipodaholicdan]

That's because when it fell off of his car it bounced on the corner. The Lumia 900 didn't fare too well in drop tests when the screen hit the ground.

[@ShallBePurified]

The sim tray does not fall out unless you use a the key or a paperclip or something to remove it.

[@BrandonDuwen]

Cool Anti-Fall Tech,maybe it stop at my ear when i calling

[@samuelricketts624]

Dude you gotta leave it in there for a couple days. But there rest of that stuff is incredible!

[@GetsugaTenshoS]

I'd like to know that as well. I really don't think 20 minutes was long enough, it'd take far longer to dry it out.

[@ShallBePurified]

This phone went through more severe challenges than every other phone before. It got put in 200 degrees in the freaking oven, dropped off the top of a moving car, twice, freaking drove a nail into wood, and didn't get a chance to dry off. "I kept it in the bag for the last... 20 minutes..." -__-

[@WhatDoesntkillYa]

Microsoft Announced Windows Phone 8 before July. They already said that it wasn't getting WP8. So it was obsolete even if it was shot in July.

[@elukok]

This is so much better then watching molly. Good work. Very entertaining.

[@ApolutoKeno2010]

OMG i cant watch what he did on Lumia :'(

[@dhaval1090]

One does not simply turn on the phone immediately if it's wet.

[@mutz2890]

you're right... I'll never learn to use fahrenheit degrees... :)

[@hybriddialek]

Hey Jeff I'm glad you got your new iPhone 5. That extra half an inch is sure nice!, too bad it's an iPhone though.

[@ale87rpg]

Nokia knows how to make durable phones, that's why my nokia phone is still working great since 6 years ago.

[@QassimoveTV]

what about the Camera in the fridge 0:23 ??? what ups with it !!!!

[@machkay]

It held out pretty good. No tech can stand H2o, unless it was made to be water resistant.

[@StefEBear]

HTC have designed a complete new range of Vibrant Windows Phones (8X and 8S), not just a copy of the plain looking One series

[@lbraddx]

Let me add that on the water test, Nokia lumia take the plunge on the actual pool so obviously the pressure of water is a lot lot higher compared to a small bowl of water with S3 and iPhone. Again pretty much of a fair iCNET torture test! iCNET the imedia partner!

[@tsunas12]

There must be 6 or 7 different Lumia 900 for this clip.

[@jerseydevil1995]

Wasn't obsolete when the video was filmed, judging I'd say July-August.

[@jtsiah]

So glad it's a Windows phone!

[@Lances_45]

Very good test, dare I say better than Mollys. Except from water test, no sim tray inserted terrible

[@saqibq]

I've had around a dozen Nokia's. they are built like tanks! A friend used to throw his old candybar phone (66xx) from his 4th floor roof and that beast worked fine!.

[@grantkassan6561]

weren't you suppose to not try to turn it on and leave it in rice for 24 hours?

[@DrDornon]

Seeing as this came from iCNET, I'm not believing they did the last test fairly.

[@HeHanLa]

Seriously, you didn't have the microSIM tray in? The water goes straight to the internals of the phone... Nice job!

[@psloo35]

@Daniel Duedu agree

[@jerseydevil1995]

Obviously it's going to shorten out, you turned it on when it was wet.

[@ComputerTutorials115]

5:54 "Hey, You're phones on your car." "Uh oh."

[@Aghil_M10]

lumia 920 is the best smartphone.it survived everything and also the phones sim card slot etc should be clased and the try..still no other phone can ssurvive such a torturing test

[@ahhhhitsjon]

Yea... I droped my Lumia 900 in 2 different puddles outside of my house twice and it lived. I think it had something to do with the sim door but who knows. I also hit it with a golf club and it survived. It was a trooper.

[@Ryantravisaol]

of course with mine I broke the screen twice, on two phones. The first time was pretty expected, I closed my car's hood on it, total accident, but the second time it just fell off a bar and smashed. I haven't replaced it yet because of my bad luck.

[@Ri0zify]

"Too bad it's a windows phone." So fuckin' true, I think Nokia would be leading the market if the ran Android on their devices.

[@usparks]

I guess it came on the next day!

[@DanielDuedu]

Pls same test for Iphone 5.

[@IrfanullahJan]

Nut number of apps grew faster than both android and iOS.

[@jerseydevil1995]

Where's the full video?

[@mikosoft]

If you know your phone is not watertight and it gets wet, then: 1. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT attempt to turn it on! It's almost guaranteed to fry if you do 2. disconnect the power source - battery. Too bad some phones have built in battery 3. let it dry at least 24 hours, if possible, covers open 4. then and only then try to turn it on In case of this phone he did everything to kill it with the water. Every non-watertight phone would die.

[@lbraddx]

I wonder how the iPhone 5 survive even the first 2 test!

[@nathanlief]

Wonder if it could take being driven over?

[@ScottChambers1227]

felt the same way, and let him know on his twitter account. It really doesnt help Windows Phone with all these people dissing it for no real reason.

[@BjornTheDim]

"Too bad it's a Windows Phone!" So..... I'm guessing the fact that Apple's own executives have highly praised the Lumia 900 and said that they love the Windows Phone OS means nothing?

[@raulespinoza9989]

Damn that a tough ass Phone

[@Daysra]

have you even used a windows phone, it's a fantastic os.

[@pookiewood]

I wouldn't want Windows Phone to look like Android so I'm talking OS. The design goes more than just the start screen with most of the Apps following the Type face UI. it makes for a more cohesive feel on the phone. You may be able to make your start screen look like WP but good luck doing that across your Apps, etc.

[@bogascorp]

Without the sim card slot, were water can go in much easier, and trying to turn it on so many times without properlly drying.... 20 minutes in rice, really? That's also not enough, molly usually leaves like 2/3 days. Still, it was a good show.

[@mutz2890]

one hour to bake cookies?? something tells that's waaaay too much...

[@myNEONCITY]

Why would you ask that

[@Cinoism]

I'm on the same boat. Been using a number of Android Phones. They have great hardware, but OS is meh. I'm planning to UPGRADE to Lumia 920 too.

[@TheJhXxX]

yeah.. next video : build a house with a nokia lumia 900 .

[@Computd]

Looks like Nokia still knows how to do it...

[@slidetopoweroff]

With Nokia phones you don't worry about the phone breaking, you worry about what it hits lol

[@ToxicHorsePucky]

At least Molly let the S3 dry in rice for a whole day.

[@Nesserris]

Maybe he lost it during the fall test.

[@wirelesspizza]

Nokia is a Goood phone maker

[@robertmark4851]

Your suppose to keep the phone dry for 24 hours in the bag of rice.

[@Saytheodd]

LOL at the guy flooring his hybrid and steering left and right.! Slowest acceleration ever

[@lewkbrett]

Why did he say"Too bad it's a windows phone"? I was forced to use an Android phone for work, not only did it take me a couple of hours to figure out the UI, it's crashed on me several times and slows down and is just plain awful!

[@duffman7793]

You need to leave it in the rice three days.

[@gm475ddfxvg]

wait, you can drive a nail through a Nokia phone?

[@RumblingBob]

If electronic devices like phones are heavily exposed to water, do not turn them on but instead immediately remove the battery. If the water didn't kill it, you certainly destroy its circuits with a short by attempting to turn it on. Also, I highly doubt 20min in rice is enough to let all water remains evaporate and be soaked up by it.

[@eliseblasco5694]

my bro has this phone and hes friggin proud of it

[@GetsugaTenshoS]

MS have done a lot but I'm fairly sure that things would have progressed a great deal to the point where things weren't too far off from what we have now. Things might look a bit different but MS just got in there early with what they did. If they hadn't done that then other people would have done it at some point.

[@lancehanki]

So you let it set for 20min to call it dead when all the others get 1+ days? Totally fair

[@TonyAllen1988]

Has the freezer test ever killed anything?

[@10spongeboy97]

This is what windows phones were meant for, hammering nails...

[@f3rd1n4nt]

You should plug it in and see if it works then

[@morenokid12]

Question . If your not here thinking of switching to the lumia , why watch the video and hate others for choosing a superior phone ? Last time I checked htc is moving the One series to windows phone ?

[@munkkis4n]

In the old days I used to hang my phone on the clothes line along with my laundry if it got wet and in the time when my laundry was dry my phone would work perfectly but it was Nokia 3310 :)

[@vinmin]

I thought your suppose to put it in rice for at least 24 hours.

[@otakukj]

lmao at 6:04 did you get a ticket for running the stop sign? ur plate was displayed clearly afterwards lol

[@zunedog31]

RIP

[@Jordan-we3eu]

Who wants this one anyways with the 920 coming soon?

[@stabber65]

Can this guy do the toture tests instead

[@MrChock75]

¿Qué hace aquí Fran Perea?

[@RandomxCheese]

Why not give them away?

[@zunedog31]

Why would they??????????????

[@clifflaw]

5:47 Is that a phone in your pocket or are you just happy to video for us?

[@ZachTheTechie97]

6:04 You go through a stop sign! lol

[@StephenJonathanSwift13]

Its a solid brick!!!

[@TheSchannel21]

We got some corner action!

[@jacksonlcg]

Windows phone rocks!

[@xxloveyou77]

i think my is deffective.... i dropped it, it cracked and not only that it didnt turn on... i got a new one and it fell off of my bed not even 3 feet and the screen it blown i think its because it fell on the corner...but im using it right now

[@Demeaiko_]

Please test the galaxy s2 please

[@x240voltsx]

it really sucks that it is a windows phone... other than that i love this phone

[@tumaykilinc]

"Too bad it's a Windows Phone" lol.

[@chrisak49]

LOL oh the shade...

[@shreyashnigam5513]

What the hell on earth is that screen made of?

[@chonichon07]

Why was he surprised the screen didn't break? It's Nokia, I'm surprised the ground didn't break lol

[@ltpa152]

iPhone-"My hero."

[@tabturn]

That's not plywood.
