So today, im late for a class and and im running up six flights of stairs. I had my 9900 in my shirt pocket and suddenly it popped out as I was launching my self up the steps. I watched as it landed on the fifth floor, bounced off the stair and down between the floors/rail all the way to the first floor. I rushed down, and found it in three pieces.
I don't use a case, so the five story drop caused the battery door and battery to fall out.
So I placed the battery in and the door on top, and voila she works.
If this was any other phone I think it would be in a million pieces.
There is a scuff on the bezel, and one near the usb port. Other than that it looks ok, and works fine.
Amazing, its reasons like these I buy blackberry products.
Lol I was late anyways, rescuing the 9900 had to be top priority.
And yes they are amazing in strength. My friend has his galaxy s3 in some bullet proof case lol, im sure if you look at it the wrong way the screen cracks.
Buy a new bezel and you get yourself an almost new phone which is a way to go.
Been using my 9900 without a case for quite some time now. Which i love it!
Dropped on concrete some several times now, some scuffs here and there but least it's still working fine for me.
You're very lucky. It could have been much worse. I know someone who dropped his 9900 on the floor. It landed on the corner on the bezel and the glass cracked.

I wasn't so lucky . I dropped mine on concrete and it landed on the bezel at the battery connection corner. something shorted out the phone ,it got really hot and never booted backup . I did manage to get a flashing red LED one time though. lol
