I have murdered too many cellphones, I am starting to feel bad over the wake of death I have left behind me with cellphones. To be fair, I have not destroyed them all myself. I have lost one when I was hit by a truck. The rest of them, I guess I killed by either dropping, soaking, smashing, falling and a variety of other ways, such as playing with the operating system…
Well I killed my favorite cellphone of all the other day. The indestructible Konka W880 bit the dust as I fell down some stairs out back. The phone broke my fall and saved me, but it suffered. It actually did not physically suffer visible damage, but something inside gave and it went to its grave. That proved my point, “Three Hundred pound bears can hurt when they fall on you!”
So I have gone retro and BlackBerry, I decided to buy a BlackBerry Pearl 8820 Flip phone. It has been ordered and since they are old, like me, they cost very little, around $50 including shipping from Asia. In a few weeks it will be here…
I was able to get my scratched and almost defunct LG GW-620 going and am using it. It still works, but the screen was soft and scratched easily. I have ordered a new screen housing cover and will try to replace it myself. Oh, that could be a murder waiting to happen…
