Sonofa...I Broke My Smartphone!

Posted by Jason Dunn in "THOUGHT" @ 04:00 AM

So perhaps I was tempting fate when I wrote about this same topic back in April, but on Friday morning I had my hands full with a few things as I was getting out of my car and after taking a few steps I dropped my T-Mobile Dash on the parking lot asphalt. It landed face down, and I froze for a second then picked it up. I brushed it off and it looked ok, so I thought I was lucky yet again and put it in my pocket. It wasn't until I looked at it a few hours later that I saw I had indeed destroyed the screen. Check out the damage:



And here's a close-up of the sad, sad reality:



The Dash is the best Windows Mobile device I've ever used - I think it's a superb blend of great engineering and aesthetics. To be without my Dash is a very painful thing. But all hope is not lost! The fine folks at PPC Techs have offered to fix the screen for me - they offer a T-Mobile Dash LCD screen repair for $139 USD if you find yourself in the same situation. My Dash is boxed up and ready for shipping, so hopefully a few weeks from now I'll be back to rocking the Dash. In the meantime, I've decided to use the HTC Touch full time and we'll see how that goes...
