24% of iPhone users in the UK are too broke to fix it when they break the screen. Probably because it cost so much to buy and use…they couldn’t even afford a case to protect it.
More interestingly, 57% of iPhone users in the UK break the screen at some point (most within the first three month), regardless or whether they have a case or not. Talk about a horrible design for a phone

Check out the video. I love the design and I’m sure it’s going to be very popular with hardcore gamers. A great OS and a Playstation controller is all that you need if you don’t care too much about your privacy and want to have lots of fun.
There could be some problems though. The phone probably won’t have a dual-core processor and Android is seriously limiting the amount of memory available to apps. Maybe Sony Ericsson found a way to allocate more resources to PS games.

0Don’t watch this if you’re strapped for cash and are saving for a smartphone…
Some crazy people decided to put and Android, an iPxxx and a Windows Phone 7 smartphone on a BBQ grill to see which one would melt faster.
It’s heart breaking ;D
