To get things straight: I would never buy an iphone, because apple is so stuck up with their hardware. "Hey I'm apple and you buy my shit for twice what it's worth." Not what I'm looking for. Furthest I will go is the ipod, since I have a 160 gig classic.
So I never actually thought I'd own one of these, due to the large cost and small hard drives (hence the 160 gig). I was wrong. About 3 months ago, my best friend [who in all honesty is totally dopey] dropped his iphone straight onto sharp rocks. Boom. Smash. iPhone no happy.
So the one day, my friend comes up to me [before I know about the death of the phone] and said "I know you always wanted an iphone, so here you go." He handed me this:
Surprisingly, everything on this iphone works perfectly, even the screen. I've been so happy ever since he gave it to me, and I jailbroke it the day after I received it (which is now legal, thanks to our wonderful library of Congress)
What's the best piece of beaten-up tech you guys own?
I have a 65 inch flatscreen with a crack through the middle of the picture
ReplyDeletei have a headphone/mic with more duct-tape and solder than actual plastic and copper working perfectly. My little memento to how horribly cheap I am.

ReplyDeleteMy DS has survived so many drops and bangings and scrapes and it still works like a charm.
ReplyDeleteGot it back when it first came out, the original DS.

ReplyDeletemy mp3 player prob, cheap korean thing with tons of scratches on the screen so i can barely read what i'm listening to. lol.
Lucky!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations :D . I'm to poor for Ipods and what not. I listen to everything on youtube.
ReplyDeleteMy current iPod nano went through the washing machine. Everything works but the back light. Still love it.
ReplyDeleteI dropped my laptop the other day and messed it up, not the screen thankfully. But my friend dropped his droid type phone and the ENTIRE thing is shattered. Still works though.
ReplyDeleteThat's hard for me to look at >.<
ReplyDeleteIts because its an apple product
ReplyDeletetherefore shit
love my iphone man. apple is smart, its not about the hardware its more about the products that everyone else owns so you feel left out until you own it (doodle jump sucks)
ReplyDeletebut u can prob get that screen fixed for like 80 bucks
looks bad :s
ReplyDeleteFucked up my laptop coming home drunk one night from a party and apple gave me a new one no questions asked with my warranty. Pretty awesome.
ReplyDeleteLol my roommate once got drunk and urinated all over his laptop and dell gave him a completely new one because they couldn't find out what happened. Stupid dell....
ReplyDeleteI think that you can get the glass replaced for around 100 dollars
