You think an iPhone landing at just the right angle at just the right spot after falling out of a plane at 1000 feet is tough? All that phone had to do was fall and get lucky. Try sitting in a 450 degree oven for 45 minutes and living to tweet another day. That’s endurance, and apparently it has happened - and it happened to a Palm Pixi. In response to the skydiving iPhone, The Consumerist reader Jim wrote in to tell the story of his wife’s baked Pixi:
My wife was cooking last month. She set the oven to 450 degrees. When that temperature was reached, she inserted a baking sheet with the food she had prepared. After 45 minutes, she opened the oven and found her Palm Pixi phone in the oven just inside the door. It had apparently fallen out of her pocket as she bent down to insert the food into the oven.
She immediately grabbed the phone and when it had cooled enough, she removed the battery, which was distorted by the heat. Figuring she had nothing to lose, she placed a spare battery into the phone. It immediately came to life and has not given her a problem since.
Lesson one: Don’t put your phone in a shirt pocket when you’re going to be bending over, especially over something like an oven.
Lesson two: Don’t mess with the Pixi. It lives in fire.
