    The life on my poor phone...

    This is a really funny story but...today...my phone is no longer good. Its been to hell an back..shocked only today its....gone.

    I had the phone for 52months.

    I will list each accident I had with the phone.
    (during its life I have dropped it countless times....about once a week)

    #1 forgot the phone on the roof of truck when I pulled over on side of hwy to change a tire...phone came off the truck an hit the road...found the phone and battery...the battery cover was never found..(I went to my scrap phones an found another back for the blackberry)

    #2 smashed the screen when loading truck with items...went back to that phone that I took the battery off an used the screen



    #3 dropped it into water on a rainy day...phone (Shockley) worked after that one.

    #4 broke the roller ball on the phone...just fell out one day.

    #5 broke a letter key when I was loading my truck again...(phones in pocket is asking for trouble)

    #6 happened today...was unloading boxes of items to get bailed up...did not know I dropped my phone into the hopper....the item was bailed up with phone...phone was smashed with 50,000 tons or so.....phone did not make it..phone is now...dead.

    Today...just got a new phone...this time I have full insurance on it..

    I am still shocked the blackberry lasted as long as it did...I'll miss that phone...but I like my new one =P

    Just thought I would share this for picks an grins...I thought it was funny as hell.

    My blackberry has been very surprisingly hearty. I have replaced only the battery and the roller ball. The next phone will be the blackberry with the swipe thing instead.

    holsters don't do any dang good. Last time I had one it got hooked on something and ripped itself off my belt and I didn't realize it for 2 hours.

    If you clip on the back of your jeans, you may be less likely to snag it on anything and lose it.
