Don't drop the soap (I mean phone)

dropped my tp2 yesterday, about 2 feet on my kitchen floor, just slipped out of my hands, this thing shattered like a baby, total yard sale, screen cracked like a windshield. Pieced it all together and it still works despite spider cracks in screen, asurion sending a new one for $39 deductible tomorrow. Wish this phone was a bit more durable, I have dropped my 6800 about a thousand times, buttons stuck, scratched, cracked plastic etc, but still runs like a tank

Yea, the 6800 was built like a tank (I still have two of them)

I hate to think what would happen if I dropped my TP2 in my kitchen (I have a ceramic tile floor & even "unbreakable" dishes shatter when they land on it)

$39.00 Deductible how, I thought it was 100

$39 is still cheaper than what I pay as a deductible on Verizon. How did you manage that? That's awesome!

sprint 100 deductible sucks

Lets see some pix

pics or it didn't happen. That is the rule of thumb.

I've dropped mine once on the bathroom floor, from the counter & nothing happened to it

TP2 is still not that bad. Have you handel a Treo Pro before? That thing is slippery like a soap. But TP2 is heavy. I guess more weight = more shatter?
