Default Talk about bad luck

Ok so I was at the gym and I was doing free weights. My friend was with me and I was on my last set, so I decided to put my ipod and my treo 700wx (one week young) in my backpack since I didn't need to carry it on me.. I finish my set and drop the weights (80lbs) and it bounces and slams onto my backpack. I didn't think anything of it until my friend left and that's when I grabbed my iPod. Doesn't work. Then I check my phone.. The screen is obliterated.



But I read up on how to fix the iPod, a nice drop onto the carpet fixed it right up. Saves me $350+ from buying a new one. Luckily, I have insurance on the phone too. I came home knowing I ruined $800+. So if you guys need anything just pm me, I hopefully should have a new phone at the beginning of next week.

that's why I leave my ipod on a strap around my shoulder, and my phone in the car. I hate to see people gabbing on the phone while at the gym. Good thing you had insurance!

I was reading on ipod hacks and one guy said just drop it on carpet and it will work again.. sounded crazy. but it worked...

I'm on the phone right now with insurance and way to go Sprint for saying I didn't enroll in insurance, even though that's the first thing I did when I activated.
