Nexus One Not Designed For Pockets
What a fail.
HTC has been quoted as saying "People sometimes forget that they don't go in pockets", and that broken screens are quite common on the Nexus One. Apparently it must be kept in a case (provided) and away from tight pockets or handbags with loose items.
Reminds me of when Apple stopped calling laptops laptops as they were suddenly no longer meant to be used on your lap. These machines were getting so hot that they could actually burn you.
To design a laptop that can't go on your lap is bad enough, but a phone that can't go in your pocket is just plain stupid. My iPhone 3G has survived a year and a half in my pocket without any case, and I've worn some very tight jeans. You can take a key to it's screen and it won't even scratch. Surely HTC and Google understand what they are competing with.
