Unbreakable my ass

[via Geekologie]

Ah yes, the stiff upper lipped'ness required to say "oh no, absolutely *laugh*" when you have your entire pitch completely disproven in about 3 seconds is without a doubt, 100%, British.

I do like that he doesn't take himself too seriously and doesn't suddenly embark on a "ah, but the angle of intrusion into the corner of the fish tank coupled with the structural integrity you provided with your hand ensured it would break, but that would NEVER happen in normal use" kind of damage limitation strategy. Instead he pretty much says "oh shit, you broke it, way to show us!".

Perhaps foolish, but it gives me the impression that this particular phone is back to the drawing board and when it comes out it will be even more guaranteed to be unbreakable.

You can drop it from at least 10 stories* You can throw it under water at 20 feet for half an hour** You can hammer a nail with it*** It is basically unbreakable**** And if you find a way to break it, we're gonna give you the free phone*****

We stand by our product.

*onto a bed of pillows
**if properly secured within an airtight ziplock inclosure
***if strapped carefully to the handle of a hammer
****so long as the above or comparable precautions are taken in regards to the unit's safety
*****with a surcharge for breaking the original at a minimum rate of the original value of the phone

No no no. He means when the guy says "I DO apologise!"
