So long, iPhone, I barely knew ye.

Jeepers - what's the warranty on those things? All I hear about them is how easy they are to break. And I say this as a rabid Mac fanboy.

Sorry.

My condolences. Grieve not, for thou noble little iPhone is with the Father now. That is, the Steve Jobs in the sky.

[Misty]

I'm sorry for your loss.

Wow, that sucks :S

Maybe if you call Apple and whine your way to a supervisor? does that still work?

I really want to sympathise with you...but I really think the iPhone is a ridiculous evolution in phones...


I'll try harder.

I feel the same way BUT, I do know how it feels when you take extreme care with things that are very valible to you. Reason why I went though 12 flash drives.. all full with work info that were extremely important...

[Sable]

Mine must be, like, the Last Son of iKrypton, because I've done no end of horrible things to my iPhone and it's still working like a champ.

Sorry about yours carking it though, Matt.

Do I sense a video of the iPhones funeral coming?

[empath]

Sorry, Matt; I do consider cell phones in general needless consumerism, but that is merely my personal opinion, and in no way relates to the importance this device held for you, and the loss that you have undergone.

I really, really hope something can be done - the nature of the accidental damage is definitely outside of the warranty, but maybe someone in the relevant field could be a mench and stand up to offer repairs on the device anyway?
(at cost naturally, there's limits to altruism)

Also hoping that icy, numb hole of loss you're probably feeling fades quickly. Chin up, brave l'il guy!

Only if Gibb sings Ave Maria while they lower the original iPhone box into the ground.

I see Gibb more as playing the bagpipes or singing O Danny Boy personally.

Does it deserve a viking funeral?

[Kennsta]

i feel it is time for a moment of silence...

[Vaughn]

Hurry up and bury it so i can dance on the grave.

[iEatNinjaZ]

poor you

ur next phone should be a Sony Ericsson


i want one BADLY!

[Beta-guy]

I knew the iphones and ipods were fragile, but wow... I have a Ipod gen 5.5 and I try to keep it in good condition (I use rockbox firmware not related but it's cool) the iphone does have alot to offer, I iwsh Apple with improve it on 2 aspects price, and durability I've heard it's too easy to scratch the screen and hearing this, is a bit upsetting. what are you planning on doing next for a phone?

[cacho]

I know how you feel man...

I'm from Guatemala, so no warranty

[JoeNewberry]

This is why you should have used the original LRR variation. Three sturdy individual devices duct taped together beats one flimsy old iPhone any day. It's like the whole a single stick breaks, but a bundle of sticks cannot be broken wisdom thing.

Tough break kid...

I ain't gonna pretend to know what your going through....



(I don't have an iphone)

[allison]

thats terribly sad
i know what it's like to want one
but to have one then lose it...
(i actually didn't read your story. it was way too long)

but better the have loved and lost then to never of loved at all, right?

[Vaughn]

but better the have loved and lost then to never of loved at all, right?

No, thats crap.
Thats like sayings to better to be stabbed, than not to have held a knife.

so? it would suck to die when you've never held i knife!!
holding knives is my favorite thing to do
it's my hobby

[TheRocket]

Stabbing people is my hobby, but I've never held a knife.

[TheRocket]

Also, I see the point you are trying to make, however it probally should have been phrased as such:


It is better to have held a knife and lost it, then to have never held a knife at all.





Juuuuust sayin.
