SUPER iPHONE!

I doubt those military spec motorola phones on nextel can even do this!
I've seen way to many stories about how easy they are to break by simply dropping them or random typical accidents - which you can see this yourself by perusing the Mac Forums.
I seriously doubt the screen could take the multi-ton pressure of a semi even if the weight is, for the most part, evenly distributed - which would not truly apply here given the phone was ran over from end to end.
Just look up "iPhone test" on youtube.com. I'm not saying it's effing indestrucatble. There are gonna be some cases where it gets broken easily, but getting hit by a semi and living to tell the tale is no simple feat.
Meh, it could be a scam, but I doubt it. I think if it was a scam the guy wouldn't have jailbroken his phone. It would have been standard so that Apple would give him coverage/money for his story. But since it was jailbroken, they don't care.
