Seriously, get to the point already. Nobody cares about you being happy people watched your other video.

I can't really tell anything about it's resistance to scratching because everything is out of focus the whole time. He needs to post some macro still photos.

@loudambiance: Ew... the dare... really? I heard that is a major fail.

mares

you know, i was in verizon yesterday, and they had one on display. I thought the apps were all very slow to launch, things were very slow to respond in general. I don't know if it was the particular phone I was using or not, but I am sticking with my LG Dare.

loudambiance

I must say, I skipped the first 2:30 of that clip

But wow, I'm impressed. Needs to go to all screens, pronto.

nachobel

yawn

chopstickhero

Was I the only one who wanted to yell at him to "just scratch it already!" This is good though, I like my things to last and stay nice.

Dafrety

lets see it take on a drill bit. same goes for the iphone. i want my gadgets to be uber durable.

citizen024

wow. eloquent as a bucket. that should have been no more than one minute. and if that was pushing as hard as he can (with the knife) he must have grown up on the moon.

Shikestarr

everybody fast forward to 1:37 nothing happens before that...I mean NOTHING

xsecretfiles2

@Dafrety: hahaha I was thinking the exact same thing! The suspense was killing me!

Shawnladd

What about sandpaper? I always keep sandpaper in my pocket (next to my phone) in case I want to masturbate in a public restroom.

Herman

@mares: You heard? As in, you have never used it yourself? As opposed to actually trying it like oudambiance did?

Dafrety

umm did I see it was 299 degrees on that app? Must be pretty heat resistant too

dfetzer

I hope they fix his clicking issue and not issue a new phone for him.

glenno86

@dfetzer: 29.9....not quite 30, little more than 29.8
It is important to know the decimal when deciding if a jacket is needed or not.

TheBusDriver

How about a stabbing motion? i've got some angst to take out and it would be nice to envision the storm as my teac...nevermind...

@Ibelieveinsandwitches: "That's not a knife, this is a knife!"
"That's not at knife, it's a spoon."
"I see you've played knifey, spoony before."

@Herman: I squirmed really uncomfortably when I read that.

ipodrulz

One word. Editor.

dc-united

I would NEVER do that to my iphone,not even after seing those scratch test video´s on youtube, what if it does scratch? then your f%&/ed!

arsenio3d

I find my Chore-Boy tends to sratch my screen, but not as much as my jagged broken stem when I am being frisked by the cops...

Dr.Remulak

@Herman: Are you Paul Reubens?

glenno86

Yak Yak Yak All this guy for 75% of this video is Yak...

HJTravels

Thats pretty impressive.

Michai

@Shawnladd: This video should only last 30 seconds.

Gibberish

@Herman:

Damn, you made me think of the Sandpaper Sally joke.

Serolf Divad

@Dafrety: I've tried it out....A friend of mine rocks one....Now, after getting it, he repeatedly uses it and says "The iPhone suuuuuuuuuuccccccccckkkkkkkkkssssss..." (completely unsolicited or provoked by me) with a face wreaking with jealousy. So yes Dafrety, I can concur that that phone is a major fail. lol. These days, I just keep my iPhone away from him.....I'm not a fan of upstaging people who choose to buy crap.

TheSonOfKrypton

Was that a Cold Steel Tanto?

Git Em SteveDave loves this guy->★

@HJTravels: And his big, meathook hands.

jdhuck

@Herman: I hope you use rubbing alcohol for lube.

jdhuck

holy bulletproof batman!!!!!!

keyser is a reble

@Shikestarr: I think he was being cautious of the fact one slip and he would run the risk of cutting his hand.

kazemizuhi

@Git Em SteveDave loves this guy->★: No, it's a Benchmade. You can tell from the butterfly logo.

DarthTader

@Dafrety: Yes, this vid is 3:55 too long. I was ready to start a scratch test on my eyes by the time he brought the knife out...

Toshie

@chopstickhero: Indeed. They did this with an iPhone ages ago and had the same result.

Hickeroar

@Git Em SteveDave loves this guy->★:
being a multiple benchmade owner, if that won't scratch it, it ain't gonna scratch. bali-song FTW!

godwhacker

If that thing can survive being in my pocket for two hours with $0.63 in change, a guitar pick, and the half dozen drywall screws and a drill bit that I forgot about, THEN I'll be impressed. ;)

FredicvsMaximvs

What is this sorcery!....that has to be the coolest thing i have ever seen...this morning.....

superbryant

@loudambiance:

it's definitely not just the phone you were playing with, trust me.

geedots

my favorite is in another video when he uses a piece of paper under the battery to "fix" the clickthrough, sorry surepress, mechanism. Good thing your brand new touchscreen phone doesn't scratch...and also doesn't work.

tubsdouglas

can someone do a drop test for the storm?

jayp0411

I don't know if scratch resistance is worth the increased likelihood of the screen shattering when it gets dropped. The glass is made harder at the expense of flexibility, which is what prevents most phones' screens from breaking when they get dropped. My phone's screen now scratches somewhat, but I've dropped it enough times that I'm thankful it didn't break!

coketown

I saw someone take an exacto knife (like a razor blade) to an iphone with no scratches showing on it either.

ronreal

Just look at the displays at your Tmobile store.. I bet they're scratched.. from taggers at least in LA anyways.. There's graffetti scratched in gas pump, atm lcds.. wonder how the storm would hold up to that... all in all.. thats pretty nice.. nothing ruins a phone more than a scratched screen

UrsaCabelin

Yup, that knife looks sharp as hell the way he's holding it by the blade...

MalcolmLiopleurodon

But will it blend?

*crickets*

booo

maybe apple will put that on the back of the ipod, the smudgiest, scratchiest surfaces known to man

CharitableNinja

Someone needs to do this with an HTC Touch Pro(Fuze)

jiveabillion

Holy shit!

shenanigans61

@geedots: Thats good to hear.

And to all you others, The Dare is a nice phone, granted more apps would be nice, and none restrictive VZW policies, but hey, I am happy with my phone. If you don't like the dare and you've tried it, fine by me. But if you are going on what you've heard, then that is "major fail".

loudambiance

I was watching this with the sound off and thought the title of the video was "Guy tries to change weather forecast in Chester, Nevada by tickling screen."

4ster

OK, so if your Storm doesn't do something and you hate it for that lack of functionality you do what? Try to kill it with a knife but wait... It doesn't fucking die either?! Does it do anything properly?
