rant

[evan938]

ok, i know this is weak, but it pisses me off. ive had this cell phone for like 6 months now. over the 6 months it has accumulated all the knicks/scratches that a phone gets from scratching coins in your pocket, dropping it, etc. i try to be careful w/ it, but **** happens. so i find a new case for it on ebay. 13$ or so from england. its black, which i think will look slick. order it, gets here in like 4 days or so. perfect. so i get it today, start assembling it, get to the plastic/glass piece that covers the screen on the inside, its cracked in about 5 pieces. use the old one right? no. this has one of the worst scratches on the whole phone, due to my stupidity (found a cotton dremmel bit, was buffing out all the light scratches, dremmel slipped, metal part caught plastic, deeeeeeep scratch). i figure for 14$, i can have a phone that looks brand new. now i have to wait to hear back from the seller, and get a new one, and probably have to ship this one back too, making it another 2 weeks i have to look at this ugly *** phone. at least they require shipping insurance, so maybe i wont have to send this one back and get a new one by monday

Think of it this way...

You're lucky.

I have a RaZr.

To my knowledge, the only body part of it I can replace is the battery cover..

oy.

I've already got a deep cut in the screen. Don't even know where it came from.

bwah, evan. try to picture my phone (and im looking at it to describe it)

It's an old T720 from Motorola. The front cover is broken in half. it also has 3 huge cracks in it. The paint is chipped off everywhere. The external screen has a crack in the middle. In the back, the battery door is broken. BROWN tape holding it, on my silver phone. Brown tape goes over the last digits inside of the phone. inside, the paint is no more. my phone's speaker doesn't work anymore, meaning it cannot ring. I always have it on vibrate.

yeah, there you go B)

EDIT: forgot to add. like you, i had ordered a full ebay cover replacement thing. Worked nicely. BROKE and SHATTERED TO DUST, I had to put the cracked **** back on... :(

That sucks.It's like whenever you order something from far away,something is wrong with it.Barely happens with the stuff you get from like 1 state over.

[Gun5]

wow iv had my phone thrown 20 feet and iv dropped it farther, still works lots of chips screen is 100% (think its going though its getting dim) and ican pull it apart and take the bottons out if i pull hard enough (its cracked so it wont stay)

[evan938]

wow, kewlkat, that sounds ****ty. i just tend to be very anal about my personal belongings and try to keep them in good shape. i tend to do a good job, except for protecting against people who like to give me door dings every week

I'll take a picture of mine tomorrow, it's pretty messed up too. In fact, the guy who previously had it at work through it across the room into the wall before he quit.

It's free service though, so I don't complain.

[paki]

i've thrown mine across the room, run over it in my car w/ my old tires, sat on it, continually dropped it on cement.. and it works like new :) samsung vma-680

[projectx515]

lol nextel is the way to go.... done all kinds of things to my baby i took it and threw it a a brick wall just to show people how indistrutable they are. There was another time it got hit with a police asp.. the night stick thing they carry. and just put the slightist dent in it. NEXTEL baby

[yamaha]

Atleast your cell phone gets a signal. My motorola could be next to the damn tower and wouldnt find a signal. :mad:

[KeWLKaT]

Lol, yea, mine still gets reception. i think. :)

[evan938]

nick, why did your phone get his w/ a night stick? you get in some trouble? lol

[KeWLKaT]

^^ LOL yea the razr though said it was my phone's father... ya'll know what happened next


My motorola: "OuuWWW WHY DYOU SLICE OFF MY HAND?"

Star wars gangsta rap owns :)

[SuperGLS]

Mine is a Nextel Motorola and it sucks, the signal sucks, everything about it sucks. Suck suck suck. Ok, I'm done. Hopefully this Sprint merger will help like they say it will.

[paki]

sprint isnt much better. i have it. 2 yr contract. it cuts off a lot, and i tend to miss a lot of calls because my phone didnt catch the signal. and note that this is BEFORE all the violence :)

only reason i use sprint is because of the price (i get a 15% discount) and the features i get out of the phones. i miss my sim cards (t-mobile)

[evan938]

i dropped sprint, went to nextel, they wouldnt transfer my #, took me 3 weeks to cancel, then they said they could transfer, told them to f* themselves, took me 3 weeks to get this far, went looking cingular has insurance +1 and sim card +1. DOUBLE SCORE!

[paki]

sprint has insurance too.. which is what i got. the only thing that was missing from my phone was the sim card feature and speakerphone. honestly, who the hell uses speakerphone on a cell phone that often?

[evan938]

i do. when im getting dressed or driving sometimes. its quite choppy so i tend to use the phone earpiece the most

[05xd]

my sprint phone had speakerphone and then I got verizon,I think its a samsung 680a or some crap and it dont have speakerphone and it sucks.I wish I would have spent that extra 5 minutes to look the phone over rather than...yup thats the one I want.Oh well I can upgrade in uh....like another year :(

[evan938]

yeah, my old sprint didnt have speakerphone. i hated it

[KeWLKaT]

i have speakerphone and never use it lol

[projectx515]

...evan no trouble. my buddy is certified to carry and my other friend TINY though it would be funny to start hitting me with it. when he swung and heard a loud crack(it hitting the cell phone ) he decided not such a good idea
