Hero HTC phone takes a BULLET, saves shop worker's life mid-robbery
A Florida convenience store clerk has had a lucky escape after a robber shot him in the chest, only to have the bullet stopped by a smartphone in his pocket.
The internet being what it is, people have published video footage of themselves successfully shooting up HTC handsets. What appears to have saved the day in this case is that the bullet hit the HTC's battery, rather ploughing straight through its more fragile circuit boards.
