Want to know what happens to a phone when it gets runover by no less than three cars?

It still works.

Gripping story inside.

These stories about how products get broken are often captivating. It's refreshing to hear about actual events sometimes, instead of just reporting o­n new technology.
More usefully, though, some of these situations will alert us of the danger posed to gadgets in certain situations. By reading "THE CRASH!", you could potentially be saving some of your gadgets!

This week we hear from Mr. Gatsuo in Tokyo, whose 2 year old daughter drops his phone o­n the asphalt. Ouch.

It's a shame to see such a beautiful piece of equipment be ruined. Perhaps even worse is how the guy is just going to pitch it! Seriously, he could at least donate the working parts to science or something. I'm sure the LCD is worth a couple bucks to someone.

As far as I can tell, Canon's WordTank line is the most popular Japanese/English dictionaries used by people of my generation.

This week's THE CRASH features some poor bastard who dropped his brand spankin' new PowerBook G4 within 12 hours of purchasing it. Sucks.

THE CRASH! is a feature offered o­n Keitai Watch o­n a weekly basis, where users who have somehow destroyed their phones send in pictures along with short descriptions of how it happened. I'll also be taking some literary license with this, so let me know if you like my writing style.
I just thought I'd give it a shot; tell me what you think.

This week Sakaguchi from Osaka submits images of his broken DoCoMo N900iS.
