Default Nokia phone = life saver
Today, in the early morning (3.00 AM) a friend of mine on Facebook messaged me reporting about an incident which happened in Syria where a civil war is going on.A Nokia X2 user, who lives there in Syria was filming the fight going on between the rebels and military.
Bombs and bullets were being fired like throwing water on fire, X2 user came more closer to battle site.

He was capturing video with his X2 almost in front of his mouth, holding X2 with his right hand.
On getting closer to battle site, a bullet was fired towards him and it struck!…….not on him (phew!). That bullet got stuck into his Nokia X2 and he got away without a single scratch.
At any rate, this was a real breathtaking incident and just goes to show that Nokia devices are actually tough to beat with respect to build quality. The other Nokia phones like 1600, 1100, etc and now X2 are proof that Nokia devices are like ‘invincible’. And yes, this is a real incident.

From the damage it looks as if the bullet entered the front of the phone and exited the back, while blowing a big exit wound in the back of it. Why was he holding the phone backwards while supposedly recording in front of him

If he were holding a Galaxy S III, he'd be a goner.

I was about to mention that.

I suspect that this may be a hoax and the phone was shot at on purpose.

I could believe a phone either slowing, or altering a bullets trajectory. But stopping? I don't think so. Not unless some other factor comes into play. Though I know there are stories of it happening that are true I have to think that something else was also at play.

You always see people hiding behind car doors in movie gun fights, but the truth is a car door won't stop a bullet either.
