HTC jumps on the bandwagon and markets a unique new 'curved' phone.

"Yeah sure, maybe it stopped a dinky bullet, but let's see how it fares against a Tomahawk missile." The guy lucked out action-movie style, it's a cool story. Thanks for suggesting that a plastic-and-glass phone might not be adequate protection against large-caliber rounds though.
