She Will Never Be Forgotten.

So i'm showing some friends a funny picture on my beautiful 4.3 inch capacitive touchscreen that resides on my DroidX. Next thing I know, one of my friends turns around quickly throwing his hands up hitting my arm in just the right spot the make it the perfect DroidX catapult. The device went flying in slow motion and all I could do was watch it as our good times together went flashing back through my mind. As the phone landed perfectly on its screen on a bubble that was protruding out of the concrete, I could do nothing but stand and stare at it. I had heard it hit so I knew that when I picked it up it wasn't going to be a pretty sight. I finally found the courage to reach down and grab my beloved technological soulmate to flip it over and notice what had happened to the gigantic screen that was once so perfect. The emotions I felt were what I imagine a Dementor would feel like as it swoops down and sucks all of the warmth and happiness out of your body (Oh yes, Harry Potter reference). To say the least, the rest of my night was not the same. Now a day later, I still have flashbacks to the incident and am brutally reminded of it every time a shard of glass penetrates my thumb as I attempt to unlock my wounded love.

But it's ok, this story has a happy ending...insurance!

My condolences. RIP friend.

I cried a little reading that.

Been there with my eris, twice. The case does not come off of the X.

Did it still work? That would be amazing!

Ouch...take a pic of it and use it for your next wallpaper, as a reminder to keep a death grip on your next X.

**Stang68** · 10-09-2010, 01:00 PM

Did you have a case on it?

**Spork1673** · 10-09-2010, 01:02 PM

ouch yea that buddy would be paying the insurance

**karmiccalamity** · 10-09-2010, 01:27 PM

it'll buff out

**Flawson** · 10-09-2010, 01:31 PM

Boo

These are the kind of mishaps that I am prone to, sprint cut me off when I was with them.
Hasn't happened yet with my x, but I predict that I will use the insurance at least once while I have this phone.
Good luck with the next one!

case or not, it hit the glass from a bump in concrete... no matter what you are screwed. RIP that sucks. I'd make your friend pay for a NEW one, since insurance will give you a certified like new POS (from what i hear)

**EpicSkull Inked** · 10-09-2010, 02:06 PM

That suck dude. I hope your friend is buying you a new one.

In that case, yes. Make your friend buy you a new phone. "like new" is ANYTHING BUT. I had to go through 4 of them (all of which lasted 12 hours - 2 days tops) before I put up a stink and received a new phone.

Uh oh. What are some of the issues you were having with the replacements? And who else has had a replacement DroidX from insurance? Any issues?

Amazingly, the phone is still rocking away!

I have a replacement device now and I must be a lucky one because it has been like a new device for me. No issues at all for me.
