But they are tough phones. RAZRs and Verizon's LGs are a joke, though.
Heck, the most durable phones IMO are the old Motorola MicroTAC bricks. This was way before Motorola sold out to Verizon and the cable companies(Comcast, Cox, Time Warner)- back when they made all their gear in America.
And back when all their gear weighed 50lbs. But yeah, they were good phones if you were near enough to a tower.
