I’m swear, I didn’t cry, but I was really, really, really upset.
Perhaps “upset” is just a nice word for saying something completely different.
If there was a contest of how “perfect” a dropped iPhone could land on cement then I think I would have won with a 10/10:
But, it made me wonder how must affection I have for the devices that I own and whether or not it’s a little too much at times.
Sure, I’ve just lost some serious productivity (and green) but did I just lose a part of my soul?
Too dramatic? How’s your Wednesday coming along?
Dude.
i know…
so..are you one of the purists who refuse to put your baby in a case?
yes.
that sucks!!!
and the new design RAWKS, btw. #justsayin
thanks buddy!
dood. time for a nexus one or a new HTC passion/desire
Nexus one only works edge on ATT (for now, its coming says many), and the Desire is Q2or Q3 in the US. Otherwise, good suggestion. Would I choose either over an iphone? In a second. Your mileage may vary.
boooooooo
Tragedy.
peace | dewde
you.
Ouch!
insurance?
negative.
dropped mine a month ago. looks nearly identical to yours!
twins!
How much will that set you back?
200 i think….
On the bright side at least you can fix it for about $100. Check eBay for an iPhone LCD Digitizer. (http://bit.ly/cYa1YV)
There are all kinds of tutorials on the web on how to fix the screen and/or digitizer. If you only need the glass it’s a cheaper but a little more difficult to fix.
I’ve got one at home that I need to fix myself for a friend, it met his three year old and a ceramic floor. He had a silicon case on it but obviously it didn’t protect it.
whoa.
I have a contingency plan in place for things like that, because smartphones are expensive….I cunnently have an android based phone (contacts, etc sync with gmail), but if something happens to my G1, I can swap the SIM to my old Blackberry 8820, quick call to TMO to change the data plan, and I can function. Sure I lose some eye candy and couple nice features, but I can cover the basics…
bummer
I dropped mine a few weeks ago… but surprisingly I wan’t as upset as I thought I’d be.
It’s just stuff. BUT- I feel you pain homie.
Oh, man. Mine fell out of my jacket pocket this morning (~2.5ft). No damage, though. I feel you. We can sometime become very (VERY) attached to those devices. I say we should all carry a non-smart phone and use it every so often just to bring us back down, ha!
noooooooo!
Friend of mine broke hers a few weeks back and Apple charged $200 for a screen replacement. Put an InvisibleShield cover on that puppy and it’ll work good as new…other than the fact that you won’t be able to see stuff…
Stinks!
OH man I am a typical girl, I will cry for you.
haha! k thanks!
I would cry, without a doubt I would cry. In all honesty I would probably be pretty bummed about it for the next week or so. Mainly because I know that I could not afford another therefore I would be stuck.
I gasped when I saw the pic.
Then I snuggled my phone.
Then I felt convicted for snuggling my phone.
Then I called my wife. She trumps phone.
Have a better Wednesday, John.
PUAAHAHAHAAHAHA.
iPhone Emulator doesn’t sound frugal today!
I’ll be taking a moment of silence out of respect for the part of you that has now died.
Cracked idol.
oh man… my BlackBerry has a bunch of scratches on it… it’s been through a lot over the past year and a half… war wounds.
wow… that looks alot like my phone… hit the driveway with no case… OUCH!
Oh John… I’m just so sorry. But we do not grieve as those who have no hope. Yea, a new iPhone shall arise (I mean, you’ll have to buy it…). I’m just so sorry.
ouch… i feel that! i did the same thing exactly 14 hours after purchasing my 3GS last year… it was like my someone punched my mother.
thankful for: a friendly Genius at the Apple store.
Not as bad as losing part of my soul but I would have cried.
My wednesday was great…thanks for asking
Try this contest,

then if we can all get ourselves (ARG, fighting selfish urge to surf the latest iPad info endARG) to use the tools for what God obviously intends!
Wednesday was a fun time, but learned my Wife’s Uncle Bill died today. Please pray for his family so they have peace and don’t fight over his iPhone!
you didn’t see this?

[wipes a tear from his check]
cheek or check? puaha. so clever.
Doh!
Bummer, but an amen to caring about our devices to much.
Let’s not store up treasures on earth eh? (I’m guilty at times)
yes.
i got a new one. sad.
