Australian operator Telstra is reporting how their users are finding new “innovative” ways to accidentally damage their mobile phones. According to the carrier’s customer service consultants, the five most commonly reported ways of accidentally damaging a mobile phone are:
- Driving off with a mobile left on the car roof
- Damaged by water – including dropping it in the toilet and taking calls when in the rain
- Sitting on the handset
- Dropping a phone – most often on the footpath
- Throwing a mobile – either on a desk, in a drawer, or to a friend
As you can see, Japanese may be the most tech advanced market, but Australians can innovate as well. 
Not that I have anything against them. On the contrary…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
