My iPhone is Toast

Cali Lewis' Shattered iPhoneWhen I woke up this morning, I thought it was going to be pretty close to a perfect Saturday. I was wrong.

It started out great. We got up, went to the farmers market and picked out some juicy looking peaches for me, and some tamales and tomatoes for Neal. When we got back, I decided to take my first bike ride of the Summer I threw an iPod Nano in an arm strap, and my iPhone in a pouch that I keep on the handlebar to keep it from falling out of my pocket, and headed out. The wind in my face felt awesome and I was having a great time! Then I felt the chain start to come off my bike. It had happened before, so I knew what was coming. I hit the brakes, jumped off to the side and caught the bike before it hit the ground. No harm done. I tried, but couldn’t fix the chain myself, so I walked the bike to the bike shop. As I started walking, I looked at my phone to check the time. It was 1:34 PM.

I pulled my phone out of the pouch on the handlebar when I left the bike shop and was shocked to see my phone was shattered. It wouldn’t even turn on. What the heck happened? It was fine after the almost-crash. Did the phone screen have a delayed reaction? Did the heat do it? Did something happen while the bike shop was working on it? I have no idea, actually, but it is what it is!

Just yesterday, I was saying I was looking into other phone options because of the GV Mobile situation. I hadn’t made the decision to actually switch phones yet. I kind of wanted to see what Apple and AT&T would do. Heck! The FCC is looking into Apple’s decision to remove GV Mobile from the App Store. I kind of expect Apple to reverse itself next week. It appears my decision to leave the iPhone behind may have been made for me. :)

The Nokia N97 will be arriving in the mail in a few days for a review. Will it win me over? Or if Apple changes their mind and puts GV Mobile back in the App Store, will I upgrade to the 3GS? Will I choose the Palm Pre or maybe an Android phone? At the moment, I have no idea. I’ll see how the next week plays out and will keep you updated!
