HTC DROID Incredible saves a man's life by taking a bullet for its owner

How many times have you heard someone describe their smartphone as a lifesaver? Of course, the comment wasn't meant literally, just a way to describe how important the functions of a smartphone have become in our everyday lives. On the other hand, there is the story of John Garber of Atlanta.

The valet, who works at Club Halo in the city, was shot at after some patrons of the nightclub were kicked out. One shot pierced Garber's coat and would have done some serious damage, but the battery on his HTC DROID Incredible stopped the bullet. The phone was in his breast pocket. The shooters were busted by the cops and HTC earned a lifetime of loyalty from John Garber who says he will never switch to another cell phone manufacturer.
