Wondering how hardy Nokia's new flagship N97 is? The N97 Geeks have stress tested the new phone, subjecting it to a series of abuse, all in the name of research.

As well as scratching it with a key, putting it through the pocket test and trying to damage the paintwork, the chaps also dropped it into a bowl of cornflakes and then gave it a soapy rinse.

Hit play now on the video above for that last wash test. The other test videos are also live on YouTube, while the team is calling for suggestions as to what kind of abuse viewers might like to see the phone put through.
