My opinion is that SE/E phones are reliable and strong for moisture and drops. My z1010 and t39 have dropped dozens of times and used in heavy rain without damage.

@NitroFan: I don't know why you're getting your panties in a twist. Like I said the normal lifespan of a phone is 2 years- phone collectors like Boba and his Eriman team are the exceptions. They could probably make more durable phones with aluminium bodies but that will only push up the prices of phones and then again you will complain. Right now it seems they're just trying to create a balance between reliability and affordability.

I dropped my K750 when pulling it out of a pocket. It fell from about 1,5m height and hit concrete floor.
Result - no damage at all, not even a mark on the housing. I call that quality!

Do you think the casing of the RAZR added that much to the cost of the phone ?

@aqualung: The V3 is not quite the best example for an affordable phone made of aluminium...initially it was relatively expensive now you can get for around £100.

My last SE was a k750i and i really liked it apart from it feeling really really cheap- so I sold it on ebay. I then changed to a Moto SLVR and trust me this is the most well-made handset I've ever used- the sides are made of some sort of glass fibre and not a squeak. I've stepped on it so many times (all 24 stone of me) and dropped it loads of times. It just feels like one integrated unit rather than blobs of plastic stuck together. I even think its better made than the nokia 8800. I now have an n80- which is really good feature wise but is the WORST when it comes to build quality. The buttons feel like they will come off- the slider is wobbly, the battery cover is creaking away. The difference between a SLVR and an n80 when it comes to build quality is bigger than the difference in camera quality.
Just as an aside- did any of you guys see the boxes that the early RAZRs (silver ones) came in? Now that was heavy duty....

THIS IS NOT A SWEET SAYING.
I think that u ain't lucky if you if you ever say your SE is having a problem. to me I have been using my Z600 for the past 1 and 1/2 years from now and it falls like a devils child. But to my amazement i always pick it up and use t like nothing happened to it. It has never have any software fault nor a broken case instead I continued to love it and The more my service provide upgrades there packages the more I apply it to me and it always serves the purpose I want it to serve.
I know you will say it is an old phone but its durability has no match. At time it fall on Ironic materials but nothing happens to it.
I am still using and will continue to use it until ist gave up the ghost which I doubt it will.
This is not a sweet saying.

at least se could put on some models a kind of belt, like /// did it once. imo k750, w8 etc would be worth for it. the problem is. that many fones look like plastic, not just "feel"
