GLOBAL – Yesterday we unveiled the new Nokia 3720 classic. This iron-willed device has been on the receiving end of some seriously tough love this week, with every painful moment captured on film. Your response to our series of videos (which were always intended to be a bit of fun) has been great, and thanks for all your comments. So having put the Nokia 3720 classic through these brutally unscientific tests, we thought we’d find out which video you liked best by putting it to a vote.
In case you missed what we did to it, we whacked it with a golf club, booted it like a rugby ball, took a swim with it, dropped it off a very big ladder, dropped it in a pint of beer, shot at it with a paintball gun and drowned it in jelly.

GLOBAL – We’ve put Nokia’s new rugged phone through some grueling tests over the past few days, and this time we release the safety lock and fire at it with a paintball gun, and suspend it in jelly to see if it can survive.
I think I can safely say no one has ever done either of those things to a phone before (probably for good reason).
So our latest real world experiments – outside the safety and sanity of the lab – see us capture on film the moment we drown Nokia’s new rugged phone in green jelly and shoot it with green pellets (to colour coordinate with the Conversations website, of course). Watch both videos right here.

GLOBAL – Nokia’s new rugged device is on the receiving end of yet more tough love. Today we’re highlighting another batch of real world (and rather harsh) experiments that we recently conducted on the consenting caller. This latest series of videos sees Nokia’s tough phone go toe-to-toe with a swimming pool, a pint of beer and a very tall ladder.
Watch all three videos to find out how the rugged phone fared in these not-so-scientific tests.

SOUTHWOOD, England – Breaking phones is all well and good, but it’s finding out where, and how, faults occur as a result that builds reliability. Obvious physical breakages are easy to spot – a chipped casing here, a furled keypad there, but what happens when those cracks appear on one of the gates in a silicon chip? Or one of the myriad components on the numerous circuit boards inside a phone comes apart? That’s where the reliability labs analysis department comes into play. Resembling a science lab the place is packed with microscopes, and xray machine and a scanning electron microscope, which uses liquid nitrogen to clear the air before scanning, so no unwanted particles get scanned.

SOUTHWOOD, England – In the final part of our series on testing (though we still have analysis to do) we take a look at stress tests. I tend to keep my phone in my front left pocket. That way I always know where it is (alongside my keys) and if I don’t feel it there, I know it’s missing so I naturally look for it. Some people though, keep it in their back pockets. I’m not sure why. But Nokia has a test for it.
