Ever Wondered What Kind of Testing Your Phone Endures during testing?

[Bartmanekul]

Well, they could add a slider test for the appropriate phones!

Aint that the truth. If I find anything about this, i will post it here.

I have however, found this..

Kevin Smith looks after the mechanical reliability labs in Nokia's UK Southwood base and yesterday took us through the details of how they test for such environments.

Thanks Micky.

You never cease to amaze me with these little gems you keep coming up with.

Note the footnote to the video...

"...Have a look and see just what your N95 goes through before it gets to you."

And this is the same N95 that has been reported by Nokia Service Centres as being Beyond Economical Repair due to water damage, after being used when caught in the rain?

The same N95 that suffers from a smashed screen if you're unlucky and a faulty motherboard connection if you're very unlucky, should you accidentally sit on it?

I don't see how it can possibly be the same N95, a high percentage of which suffer from a loose slider due to the appallingly slack tolerances of the slide-mechanism, can it?

And finally surely no-one can claim that it's the same N95 that it's advisable to not take into a steamy bathroom, as the steam will probably cause irrepairable corrosion to the circuitry?

I find the claim that the N95 was submitted to such tests before marketing to be wholly INCREDIBLE... in the sense of the word as meaning:
'surpassing belief; too extraordinary and improbable to admit of belief.'

Pull the other one, Nokia!

Well my N95 8GB I have drop lot of times and keep in my pocket
with coins and keys , it have been with me in real dirty construct areas
for a year and still work as a clock.

As stated in the videos, not sure if it was Ray, or the other guy (Can't recall his name off the top of my head), but there are several different level of tests carried out depending on handset, not all handset endure the same testing as seen in the video.

Im sure the N95, and N85 did not endure the same testing as seen in the video.

You and me both, Micky!

My guess is that they placed an N95 on a feather pillow in an air-conditioned, temperature and humidity-controlled room and dropped another feather pillow onto it... PASSED!
