Default Car vs Trinity - Car wins

Yes, it's true. My precious was run over by a car last night. I left it on the roof of my car

It was pretty well destroyed but the battery, SIM, mem card and stylus are all still ok. The stylus and mem card were still in it after being run over twice! HAH.

Spilt milk - new phone time. I can't justify getting a black one because of the ongoing coating issue. They are still shipping junk. HTC recently replaced my bezel and the new one peeled within 2 weeks. Question: white Trinity or alternative? Can anyone suggest a better device? I don't need GPS, BT or Wifi. HSDPA is a must and I won't buy Eten.

Any info would be great to get me started on my search. Also, I am in Chicago for business but I have a couple of afternoons to kill. Does anyone stock phones there?

Get the white one!
It's still the best PDA-phone around (if no H/W keyboard needed)
Not there yet.....

Anyone have any stories where their trinity beats the car? Heard of a legend once of an unbreakable pre-production trinity where the dude ran it over and it still worked flawlessly. Anyway sorry to hear about your trinity guess it isn't the chosen one.

Why your'e not in the Paris Hilton blog instead of a savvy, polite and technically interesting forum as this one?

Never mind, I already know the answer... no signature, no references... closed thread.

Oh was that a shot at me being stupid? I was being polite until you came along and left your little comment.

I didn't know I needed a signature and references to post on forums or otherwise be creditable. *roll eyes*

Anyway Baxter, it's really a shame to hear about your phone. When you get back home you've got to take pictures and post them if you still have the phone and have not thrown it away yet. (Yes Looking Glass, that's what the picture was implying, to post pictures. Stop being such a negitive Nancy, a man just ran over his 500 dollar phone.)

Don't know about the trinity but I ran over my mio A701 (fell out of my pocket outside mates house and I didn't realize). Smashed the screen and put a few kinks in the casing but it still rang ( mates neighbour picked it up after I'd been ringing it for 10 mins or so). Replaced lcd and its working fine but will be changing to a trinity or a eten x800 end of July when contract expires.
XDA2 - old faithfull collecting dust.
Mio A701 - now joining old faithfull.
SPV M700 (trinity) - in with the rest
Samsung i900 Omnia - current but about to be changed
