Default cracked berry!

Rawr.
Today's one of the first really nice days we've had here in Victoria for a long time.
So I desided to get off my lazy butt and take the dog for a nice long walk along the lake trails.
Left my bag in the bug, took the blackberry (for safety .. I don't really need to be talking or texting while walking) and the Ipod.
Stuck the Blackberry in back pocket(with its case) and the ipod in front pocket.
Relized..even though I thought I charged the Ipod lastnight...turns out I forgot to plug the charger in. So ipods shot.
Then the Blackberry in the back pocket was BUGing me, so I took it out and held it.
Well wouldnt you know..it slid out of its case and landed on a rock.
First thought was the screan..nope thats fine..looked it over looks fine..WAIT the zero (and space bar) key is cracked in half.
GREAT..so that spoild my lovely walk along the lake.
I headed into Telus to see what they could do.. nothing..they can't do anything. Because one key on the phone is broken..I will have to replace the whole thing.
And what will that cost me?
A nice even $250.

I KNOW! lol
Soo frusterateing!

Saturday the 14th..evilllll day

Ahhh sighs.
It's not the end of the world.
It's a THING. THINGS can be replaced.
But it's still frusterateing. I've been trying to get outa debt since traveling (buying my beautiful bug while still in debt didn't help) I paid $800 of my $979 credit card off this morning, and then had to put the $250 on it again today to replace the phone.


Hahah speaking of Friday the 13th..it was soo funnie, the news had this story about Friday the 13th..and the guy was all like 'yeah its just a myth I can walk under a latter..sit next to a black cat on the 13th floor all on Fiday the 13th.. and nothing will happen.'

The news director then informed us his story had troubles in the editing room. (they fixed it but still!) And then an hour later when it re-ran ..the story screwd up half way threw.. and the news ch. went blank.

now THATS creepy

i know how you feel, i cracked my iphone screen awhile back and i was very very upset!

however, apple replaced mine for free months later when i went in for headphone service.

Can you call the company and see if you can send it in to get serviced? Usually your cell phone carrier has loner phones!

You poor thing I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but bad things usually happen in 3's so I'd be careful if I were you

Go on eBay, buy a new keyboard, replace, call it a day.

If Treos can be rebuilt I don't see why BlackBerrys cannot be.

Apple is a really really good company.
I have a MacBook and the part where your wrists rest..turned a offish colour.. I had googled it and it was aparently a big problem.
I took it into one store..and they were really snarky and negitive saying they could send it in and MAYBE apple would fix it but it was highly doubtfull..and I didnt like her attitute so we left.

Well months later when I sent it in for a completly unrelated problem to a different apple outlit.. I got it back and they had completley replaced that part of my computer (discolourd part)free of charge.
I was so excited..it made my day!


Anyways, yeah the Blackberry kinda ruind my day..lol.
I'm going to invest in a really good case when I pick up my new one.


Yeah bad things happen in threes..so dose death.
well I guess one of the 'bad' thing's that happend was right after I came out of Telus, I was cutting through Walmart's parkinglot, and discoverd they had completly blocked off the exit i needed. (They're building condo's but last time I checked it was open.) Anyways I had to completly turn around..and by this point I was so frusterated I was in tears..lol
so thats 3 thing's ? two not so bad and one really bad.. lol

I think that counts
This is exactly why I don't get an expensive phone. Everything nice I get ends up broken

well whatever you do, dont get those jelly cases! They dont do squat to protect your phone. dont test it, just trust me! Get a hard plastic one that is stronger
