My cell phone has been broken for the past few months. In a fit of early morning rage due to the alarm not turning off, I hit the phone repeatedly against the wall. I honestly didn’t think I was doing it hard enough to do any damage, but I was wrong. The screen spider-webbed, with only some of the text obscured. It was managable, since I could still find contacts and see what the time was. Using Bluetooth, I can pull all of the names and calendar events off the phone without fearing that they are lost forever.
My “minor” damage after a while has increased to the point where the screen is barely visible. Most of it is a giant black mark that occasionally vibrates. I am lucky to tell if the phone is on loud or ringer off now. Yesterday I dropped the phone and managed to step on it during the process of finding it. Well I found it with a missing volume button and messed up the already bad screen even more. I’m guessing that this cell phone was doomed to die. I’m also guessing that I’ll have to go buy a new screen before the two-year phone replacement comes up with Verizon, ensuring that I get a new phone for fairly cheap.
