Bye bye SGS, GYM accident

I had an accident involving my SGS and a 20 lbs Dumbbell.

Jefit is a hazard to my phone.

When I let the dumbell fall to the ground and heard the Cracking sound. I was thinking ahh w/e.

Then I was reaching for my phone to Enter the Rep/Weight I noticed my phone was not where I left it then searching for it I saw where the dumbbell landed. The phone was face down and the back case had come flying off.

Now I drop my phone on a daily basis so, my initial reaction was unworried.

Then I simply put the case back on, and flipped the phone to assess the damage. I flinched for one min when I saw the crack on the screen.

funny thing is I was thinking of the spaghetti marshmallow save I finally reached level 24.

So now, I am thinking of getting another SGS or Nexus S? or maybe the new droid.

This was supposed to be a temp until a new Meego device but it has grown on me.

So let's see.

I will be heading to get the Nexus S, as it is Google based so it will get all the updates direct from google.

Don't worry I will stay active on this forum for a long time to come.

Peace.

HaHaHa....sorry to hear it but your last reply cracks me up. And congrats on your new purchase. Hope you stear clear of thr dumbells this time.
Let us know how this phone performs. btw, Darky has a v9 out now... Did you ever try it before your phone got smashed? You do not have to answer me in this thread as it is off topic. You can post in Darky's thread.

Hope you get your new phone ahead of time and glad to here you'll still be here. Your background knowledge is really helpful and I always read your replies just to learn stuff

Strange it seems gorilla glass doesn't protect it.

I was laying down on my back I couldn't have dropped it on my feet unless I tried to, but I don't know about flinging weights around in the air.

Thing is I forgot to place it back on the other bench after entering my Reps. So I assumed it was at the other bench.


Gorilla Glass is strong, but not indestructible.

20 lbs is heavy after 3 sets of Flies.

and then letting starting to let it go from about table height it's is almost accelerated with your body weight.

It would have been like a missile launch from a trajectory angle of 45% from the other side of the bench and then peaking at the parabolic curve to start it's decent.

Only to hear the crack sound.

It is almost like taking a hammer to it.


I know. but tbh I never used my memory Card, so I don't think I will miss it much.

Something I did find strange is that the Nexus S has only 2.1 EDR Bluetooth compared to the Galaxy S 3.0

Could it be that the experimentability of the new 3.0 specs was driving the OS mad? Just a thought.


I will stay for the community, People like you are the reason for me to stay here, No better feeling that helping someone for no other reason then just helping.

3MP front camera is very very silly.

I hope they don't do that.

a 3MP camera in today infrastructure will not work. It will lag the whole 3G call, even if you use Wifi, you have to transmit more data.

It may work in the US, but many countries are lagging behind where Edge is still the best option for Internet.

As for the Dual Processor, I don't know if that is a good idea, you are essentially kissing half your battery good bye.

Until better batteries come out I think it is a bad idea.

I read about A new battery technology that will essentially let you charge your phone in 5 minutes from nil to full, until and allow similar discharge as available today.

This is a must and will let the Dual processor reside in phones, but as it is now I see it as a bad idea.

I also understand that customers are after such specs, especially geeks (like me), but I have to be honest that is just too much juice to give up for a functioning phone.

I believe tablets are the better segments for a dual processor, as they are not as critical as phones.

The Phone Arrived in Kuwait today at 6 AM, I have been calling them on the status of the phone since 8 AM, they will have to get it cleared from the Customs before I get it.

Today is Thursday so Today is the last working Day of the week here.

I have been calling them hourly for custom status, I just called them 5 mins ago to hear that the Customs office is closed and will no reopen on Sunday ....   

It is so close yet so far..

I asked if it will be Sunday, they told me yes probably, thing is I know it's in the Governments hands and all FedEx can do is wait, so Lets see if Sunday is the lucky Day.

Peace.
