My Mogul is One Tough S.O.B.

Found these being sold as Housing/LCD parts.

About 15 of them drilled through like this one. Such a shame..

You know i already got a new phone because i dropped mine and the memo button got permanently stuck! anyhow, i now have a new phone and bought the seidio rubberized grip and extended battery. It's worth it! Could have saved your phone from flying out the car like an empty soda cup.

Afterseeing that, makes a three foot drop seem like nothing.

I have had a bad habit of dropping it when I get out the car. While I'm driving, instead of leaving in it case on my hip, I always leave it in my lap or between my legs. Then I forget and blam, noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo (slow-mo). I used to hate when that happened but I'm good now. My reaction time is off the hook now like the matrix lol

This is true. In the first week I had my mogul I spilled a glass of water on it. It pooled on the screen. I wiped everything off and since it was insured just hoped it didn't fry. Still works perfectly.

I'm amazed at how often my phone comes in contact with the ground. In 2 months it's been dropped twice. Enough for me to get insurance on the dang thing.

lol, i dropped my phone when i got out of the car the other day and it did seem like slow motion. Just the cracking sound of the phone hitting the ground and the stylus popping out is disturbing

as i was getting IN TO my car, my mogul fell out of my pocket. the timing was perfect so as i was closing the car door, the phone got caught in between. of course i knew something was wrong when i heard a clunk and the door didn't close. i opened it and there on the grown was my poor phone. just a little scratch on the back battery cover and that was it. works great.

So I was driving to work this morning, running late, and trying to make up for lost time. It was a nice day so I had my windows open about halfway in my wife's mini-van. As I was taking a curve in the road, at about 45 mph, I watch in horror as my Mogul pops itself out of the little dashboard niche and slides right across the dashboard, right across the top of the steering wheel, and right out the window. I turned to watch it hit the road and it didn't look good. Not even in the least.

Panic insued. What had I done? My prized phone was destroyed. I had lost everything. All my hard work was gone. I had just gotten it the way I wanted it. Custom rom and all the software working perfectly together. Damn me for not being more careful. Damn me for not getting a recent backup. Damn me straight to Hell.

So I pull into the very next driveway and run back on foot. Not walk, run. There I was with my 6'3" and 250 pound self running to my poor Mogul. There it lay on the side of the road, keyboard out, battery on the ground next to it. I picked it up and saw very litttle incidental damage to the case, in one corner, and for a moment my hopes were raised. Then I looked at the battery and saw a big dent in the corner. Not good for those batteries, but hey, why not try it? So I popped the battery in and powered it up.

To my shock, it worked. The screen wasn't scratched at all. Not even a little one. I opened a new email and typed every character on the sweet little keyboard and they all worked. Even the function and caps lock buttons worked. I made a call and it worked. I asked the person at my office to call me back and it worked. Seconds later I got a new email from my exchange server through push mail. I tried GPS and it worked. It all worked. And yes I checked all this on the side of a busy road. I had to know.

So I got back in my wife's cursed mini-van and went to work. True my battery is badly dented and I need a new one. True my battery cover is gone, because I couldn't find it anywhere on the side of the road (they are so thin I think it took flight like a paper airplane). But my sexy little Mogul is still plugging away. So I am going to buy a new battery and a new battery cover and call it a day. If it starts acting up later I can always claim it under insurance. But for now, it is all working.

I got lucky. I learned a lesson. And now I have a complete backup and will be more careful with my Mogul, especially in my wife's demon possessed mini-van.

lmao ahahahahahahha

I have you all beat. I dropped my Mogul...IN THE TOILET. Completely immersed in the water (thankfully I hadn't used it yet). I reached in and pulled it out. It was completely shut off for one day, and then the next day, everything worked like new other than the red "end" button. So while it's not recommended, the Mogul can indeed survive water damage.

You guys are dropping yours out of cars at 50 MPH, in toilets, and other crazy stuff that would've killed a phone, and IT LIVED! While I smash mine on my computer stand, and shatter the screen. Immediately calling Sprint for an insurance claim, getting transfered, and told not to wrestle with my phone. (Got the refurb two days later.)
