Yesterday I accidentally drop my Iphone on the road, face first. Well, the result is not what I expected since I had drop it many time. Here’s the picture.

The phone itself is still usable as the face is broken only. However, the battle scar seem to be a little too much.

I call the evil empire (Apple) to see if they can fix the phone for a small fee. They give me two option, one is to replace it with another one for $200, or cancel my service and get another phone for $200. I decided to call AT&T to see if there’s any other option, and they also give me two option. One is to replace it for $200 or get a Nokia basic phone for free. The Nokia is a very basic phone so it’s pointless to get it as I can’t use my data plan.

There are two option for me right now that they didn’t give. One is to fix my phone by myself (there are other service that fix the iphone for me but it would cause more then $200). Or I could cancel my contract which cause me $175, which allow me to get away from the evil empire all together.

My plan is to try to fix it by myself using my limited engineering skill with my careless hand and impatient personality. I have 40% chance of success. If not, then Gphone will be next.

I will update the result this weekend.
