    i dropped mine too. the screen went white, with black barcode like lines. took the battery out, you know the drill. nothing worked. i took it back to the store and they gave me a nice new one, but its scary that it could completely break from a small fall. there wasnt ever a single scratch on the outside.
    Whoa...how far? What type of surface? I saw a Storm drop 6ft onto a hard floor...and then laugh.

    I was partying here in the Spartan nation and I dropped my new BB Tour yesterday...twice! I must say that it was not a good feeling. In fact, it felt like I lost a piece of my soul. The phone still works though!
    My buddy just got a tour. I told him to get a skin as soon as it's available because otherwise when pulling it out of the holster, he could accidentally fling it. Four hours later he flung it. It slid face down on the sidewalk. Needless to say, he was not a happy camper! But it somehow only sustained a minor nick and works perfectly fine. Tough phone!

    I have not dropped my Tour yet, knock on wood. I did however totally screw up my Curve. I was leaving a customer and went to pull it from my pocket and it got caught up on my pants and was heading toward the ground. I guess I had a ninja moment and tried to catch it with my foot and only managed to punt it across the parking lot. Smooth Move. It was really tore up. Thankfully VZW switched it out for me, they probably felt sorry for my idiotic move. I always wear protection now.

    I dropped mine yesterday. I had it in the holster in my front pocket (with the clip holding onto my pocket), the clip caught in a garden chair and pulled it out of my pocket. The damage is minimal, but since I have a loose battery cover, VZW will replace it at no charge.

    I hadn't had a chance to buy a protective case since I was debating on keeping it or not. I am actually 'trying out' an iPhone 3GS right now. I really like the way the iPhone does video (the Tour SUCKS at Youtube).

    You need a condo_ around it, that way if the condo_ breaks, it possible to have little tours running around to replace the big tour!
