iPhone4 may be more prone to damage than iPhone 3GS
Quote:Synopsis: SquareTrade analyzed iPhone accidents for over 20,000 iPhone 4s covered by SquareTrade Care Plans and found a 82% increase in reported broken screens compared to the iPhone 3gs.

Highlights of the study include:
  • iPhone 4 owners reported 82% more damaged screens in the first 4 months compared to iPhone 3gs owners.
  • Overall, the reported accident rate for iPhone 4s was 68% higher than for the iPhone 3gs.
  • An estimated 15.5% of iPhone 4 owners will have an accident within a year of buying their phone.

Full report available as a PDF

Maybe this is the result of angry users slamming phones over poor reception?

If holding the phone the wrong way caused bad reception I can only imagine how easily damaged it becomes.

Hmm. It'll have to be one with a front-facing camera though. Don't like how HTC feel they can omit it from some of their best models..
