I don't doubt that at all - my old 7520 was rock solid... however, the keyboard of my 8703 broke within a week due to a very slight fall. My replacement has held up very well since October (granted I've been much more careful).
I'm not trying to make a point that RIM's handhelds are not built well... simply that the iPhone isn't necessarily any more fragile than other handhelds depending on the particular fall. I actually think we're going in the wrong direction as far as durability goes with handhelds in general, but I guess this is the price to pay for more "features" being stuffed into them.
