Out with the old...in with the...new same?

So about a month ago I got in a little accident on my bike. I'm ok of course but my Treo wasn't as fortunate (see attached). Screen cracked and kept getting worse throughout the days that followed as I waited for my replacement. No insurance of course but was able to get a replacement on eBay for $130. Thank goodness it came in! I was suffering from both Pocket PC and cellphone withdrawal.

Anyways...just thought I'd share. Oh yeah and yes the keyboard got shaved off by the pavement.

Hmmm...applause smiley doesn't work very well...

WOW, and I thought I messed up my Touch screen.

BTW, it's not a good idea to post eBay lots any where on the site.

So I've heard. Sounds like a disservice to the community to me and makes no sense. But whatever.

Re: Out with the old...in with the...new same?

I was able to get up and keep riding to work but sold it that same day scratches and all. A large truck had to swerve so as to not run me over so I didn't want to go through that again plus it was my 2nd time falling. I might buy another one in the future but right now I'll stick to 4 wheels.

Re: Out with the old...in with the...new same?

My best friend's wife is bad about trying to answer the phone while riding. You think she'd learn. Been over the handlebars a coupla times now like that. Poor girl.
Glad you're ok!

Bike was scratched and scuffed up but was still rideable. Sold it though. I'll probably buy another one a few months down the road after my wife has forgotten about this
