It was 7.30AM W.I.B (GMT +7) in the morning and I was running late to go to work. So I was in a hurry. I was exiting my house then got called by my wife so I just put the passport on top of my car engine. This might be the dumbest thing that I did. Afterwards, since I was in a hurry, I rushed out from my house, not remembering about my phone on top of the car engine, I sped away.
Upon entering the freeway toll-gate, there was a bit of traffic jam. After I managed to break free from the traffic jam, I began to increase the speed of my car to about 90 KM/H when all of a sudden, I saw a rectangle shaped thing just bounced off my car to the freeway pavement. I took a look from the car mirror and just realized it was my beloved passport. My heart just stopped beating after I realized the fact that I put my passport on top of the car engine this morning and forgot to pick it up
The only thing that I thought of at this moment was "bye-bye, passport". I was sure that the passport had been crushed by those vehicles behind me. It was the freeway where there are no slow moving vehicles. Then, I pulled over on the side of the freeway, not even remembering that the law forbid me to do that unless emergency, with only one thing in my mind, I need to save my passport.
I exited my vehicle, ran back to where the passport fell off, waited a bit until the freeway was kind of clear for me to get across to pick up my passport, then ran back across again after I picked it up and walked towards my vehicle. I was checking to see if it still works during this time. I entered my vehicle, tried to place a few calls and browse to a few websites and at that moment, I realized my passport has survived with only a little bit of scratches on near the simcard and memory card area. Check the screenshots for the scratched area.
I was very very damn happy. I can still use my phone, sounds still the same, browsing still ok, have not tested gps, no cracked screen (gorilla glass you know?).
Bottom line is this is the toughest phone I ever owned, it survives a 90KM/H drops from a speeding car without any major problem. So, for those of you still in doubt whether to buy a passport or not, go and buy it, u won't get disappointed but don't do what I did. Silly me....
I owned a gemini, bold 9000, torch, Z10, Q10 and passport. Let's hope that my phone won't have any problem that arises after a week of use. Will keep you posted if it does though.
