Just spotted this great story over at Mobility Today, PC World’s Senior Editor Tim Moynihan applied a serious beating to the Apple iPhone 3G using keys, breakfast cereal, water, dish soap, and city sidewalks.

Check out the video after the break.
It seems like forever since the iPhone 3G hit and it’s about time something else came through the settling dust to try to save our brains. Boy Genius has posted a short update on an impending Google phone. Despite being 50% ugly and 50% screen it seems to be just around a corner, maybe not the next one but possibly the one after that.
Crackberry.com have managed to get the first live images of the BlackBerry Thunder and its touchscreen keyboard.
