For the most part I've found the iPhone to be easier to damage but it (was?) glass so that's no surprise. Mostly though it's luck of the draw. I've had a buddy drop his from a height that he went "well, that's busted" and it was fine. I've also seen one drop from the edge of sofa onto a carpet and heard the crack of the glass crack.

At the end of the day these are all mostly fragile devices. My old BB Curve was a workhorse... but changing one time at the gym I let it dangle on the a bench and wham, broke. When I first got my Samsung Nexus S it felt cheap as frack but it's also shockingly durable because of the plastic. It has some slight chips in it where if it was glass it would be a crack, I can live with that.

Not all phones can be the Nokia 3310.
