Sad Cell Phone Story
About a month ago i got myself a new cell phone. I was able to get a new phone for free after sometime in July, but i waited while deciding. Should i go for a pda / phone combo? My clie is about 4 years old though it still works mostly fine. The moto Krzr was looking pretty good, and finally i ordered one. It arrived and the love began.
I ordered a belt holster, some foil stickies to enhance reception, a 2 gig micro SD card (it still amazes me that something about the size of my ring fingernail and the thickness of a matchbook cover can hold that much) and loaded some mp3s up. The player software is not very sophisticated but it works.
I started telling people my phone was like me - “Slim, Trim and Dead Sexy”. Sad i know but it was fun.
While it lasted. I was on my riding lawn mower. I didn’t remember to take my phone off my belt.
You know what happens next - suddenly a BANG and i see something black in the wake - thinking, huh some kid must have left a toy there. Till the next time around, when i spotted a piece that looked just like my phone’s back speaker slot. Frantically i check my belt to find it gone, jump off the mower and there it is so TOTALLY destroyed. Could i even find the memory chip? no nothing salvageable at all. My beautiful Krzr now lies in its body baggie, i re-activated the old phone, and went into the mourning period.
Dudes and Dudettes, can you feel my pain?
