    It’s like somebody ripped your arm off, I know how you feel bro, incomplete, kinda naked without it. It’s got that security blanket/extension of myself feeling attached to it. Insurance?

    Wow, that really blows. It wasn’t in a case???

  6. Rita 29 February 2008 at 12:58 pm #

    Was your response a practice in restraint or what!?

    Holy Cow. It is like it is infused with the Holy Spirit. It Lives!!!!

    Someone learned a lesson. Time will tell if it was Sohaila or Carlos. Or both.

    FYI, Apple charges $250 and just give you a new one.

    Same thing happened to mine. I decided to save my $250 and just apply it towards the next version of the iPhone.

    How hard did it fall? I thought those were supposed to be pretty tough.

    I’ve been through a difficult week but this makes me hurt for you. OUCH!

    I’ve got a SWEET Nokia you can have! I’ll even throw in the car charger too!

    Sorry man!

    working at the Apple store i know how this can happen and I also know it is not covered by Apple’s Warranty. So, here is a good link if you trust yourself…

    http://www.ifixit.com/iPhone-Parts

    you can basically make your own iPhone from these parts.

    (warning: silver lining ahead)

    OH! Better YET

    this gives you a PERFECT excuse to buy a new 16 GIG iPhone. SWEET!!!

    That’s just a sad, sad picture.

    My husband and I got married on September 29th of last year. After a wonderful 2-week honeymoon in Fiji and a grueling 36 hour trip home, we returned to BWI to find that our 1997 Honda Accord had been broken into in the airport parking lot.

    And the only thing in the car worth stealing??

    A brand new iPhone.

  21. Brandi 29 February 2008 at 1:42 pm #

    Exactly why I’ll never own one. Only it wouldn’t be anyone but me dropping it.

    Sorry, Los. :(

  22. Nathan Gaddis 29 February 2008 at 1:45 pm #

    Aren’t those things suppose to be indestructible? sucks.

  23. Doug Lake 29 February 2008 at 1:45 pm #

    Come on now! It’s a phone. I know you may have all your contacts, all your music, all your pictures, all your ideas, all your movies, instant access to the internet and such … was it backed up?

    Ouch – speaking of ouch – how is Sohaila feeling about it?

  24. jess 29 February 2008 at 1:46 pm #

    ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sucks! look at your saddened/in despair face in the back! :(

    Bummer. So what’s it going to be? Use as is, until like June or July when they announce the 3G model?

    OR

    Pay the $250 for the facelift?

  28. Caleb 29 February 2008 at 2:33 pm #

    Isn’t that iPhone number two for you?

    I did the same thing two days ago. I still get nauseated every time I look at it. What a beating!! My buddy at Apple said if you take it to the store and talk to the right person they may swap it out. I’m gonna try. check out my blog for updates.

    I took my ipod to the beach. I was by myself and didn’t want anyone to steal it while I was in the water, so I put it in one of those waterproof containers you hang around your neck. It worked pretty well the first two times I took it out, but the third time the container popped open. Needless to say, the battery shorted out, and water is not covered by warrany. But my hubby is very talented, popped it open, ordered a new battery off ebay and replaced it! Good as new!!!

    i’m so sorry for your loss.

    Last July, less than 2 weeks after the iPhone streeted, my friend, Andy Chrisman, dropped his iPhone on the floor below his chair as we were eating lunch with worship artist Jadon Lavik at the Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa (PGA Championship, anyone?). As he pushed his chair out to bend down to grab it, the leg of the chair came crashing down on the face of the iPhone.

    The phone was replaced free of charge partly because it was within some 14 days of purchase and partly because the Apple store manager was a 4Him fan back in the day.

  33. Amy 29 February 2008 at 6:21 pm #

    Ouch that sucks dude.

  34. Laura 29 February 2008 at 7:02 pm #

    Oh dear, that is NOT good. I’ve dropped mine quite a few times, but never had that outcome. I think the case has saved it. Very, very sorry!

  35. Angel 29 February 2008 at 8:23 pm #

    this hurts, this is painful to see. I read your twitter and it hurt, but the image just hurts 100 times more.

  36. amy 29 February 2008 at 9:04 pm #

    Just another lesson in parenting… the Nokia… it’s childproof.

  37. church guy 29 February 2008 at 11:11 pm #

    its just a “thing”…. i hear you can have them repaired…

  38. Aaron 1 March 2008 at 8:27 am #

    Yeah, it sucks.

    Dude,

    They’re quoting scripture at you over an iphone.

    Now THAT sucks!!!

  40. Linda Sue 1 March 2008 at 10:40 am #

    Dude -sorry about breakage of incredibly high priced quickly changing technology – that is frustrating – and yet ——I only buy cheap phones without all the techno stuff – friend dropped his “life” in a toilet once (literally) and seemed like a message – you cannot afford to put your life in the toilet – accidentally or on purpose. BTW scripture can be quoted about anything – just some things more appropriately than others.

    haha. @ doug. and @ Aaron (considering his comment on my blog.) :)

  42. Kat 3 March 2008 at 8:12 am #

    But it made a great blog post right?

  43. Jennifer 3 March 2008 at 9:13 pm #

    Did you beat her? LOL, j/k.. I know that must of crossed your mind for a split second!!! ;)

  44. Anne Marie 4 March 2008 at 8:04 am #

    I think the title “I Cried A Good Cry” is a little more fitting for this post, don’t you think? ;)
    sorry for your loss…

  45. Flav 4 March 2008 at 1:24 pm #

    I threw my husband’s jeans in the washer .. and then the dryer … and heard the clunk. You guessed it – his iPhone, in the pocket. My stomach sank like you can’t believe. Maybe it will dry out and work?-I told him. The answer is no.
