Looks like a small caliber bullet was used, probably a .22, anyway talk about a 1 in a million shot.  

Yeah, had it been anything bigger then it probably would have gone clean thru. Seems like someone was having a pretty lucky day (other than being held up and shot at).

This is the second time that I've heard of an HTC device stopping a bullet. The first time was the original EVO 4G.

 

I bet you your little Galaxy couldn't do that...

wouldnt the galaxy's cover more area and still have the similar protection. It the phone was on of the iphones made with a glass back the bullet would of actually gone through with some glass :P

The galaxy line cheap plastic can't stop squat lol. The battery is what stopped the bullet with the original evo and this time with the evo 3d also.

If it is the battery that stops it then the "cheap plastic" wouldnt have an effect of it. It would be up to the battery of the phone. And gotta remember the galaxy captivate wasnt using cheap plastic, and that phone I couldnt break even when I tried to break it by throwing it on the ground.

I'm trying to think of where the Phone was when he got shot.  In his shirt pocket?

"Winter Garden Police said in an email that a clerk had just minor injuries after a robber fired a bullet at his abdomen. Police say his cellphone stopped it" http://news.msn.com/crime-justice/fla-police-cellphone-stops-bullet-fired-by-robber

 

Sounds like abdominal area.  Pry had a jacket or a hoodie, or something similar with front pockets.

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By iansltx · Posted

      A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.

      Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.

      Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.

      What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
