sorry im gonna have to buy up like half your plots :)

Moto droid 1- took a swan dive off my mattress about 8 months ago, screen wont turn on anymore :(
moto droid x- went for a swim in a sink, then got run over by a car , then I finally upgraded to the Galaxy nexus, once that phone came in the screen cracked in my car (not sure how just kinda happened)
Samsung fascinate- Strapped to a bottle filled with vodka and tequila then thrown into a fire.
Old virgin mobile slider phone- stepped on by a track spike by accident.
Blackberry storm 1+2- took a sledge hammer to them
HTC touch pro 2- duct taped to the face of a bowling pin, then proceeded to roll my 14lb ball until it was dead.


plenty of other dead phones but those were the most fun/interesting...

First my Moto Droid stopped accepting text messages. Last week it stopped calls. Luckilly my contract was up on the 6th and I switched from Verizon to Cricket with the Mercury. The fate of my Moto is to be determined..Please reserve one plot until I decide on its total demise.

....Freshly dug and prepp'ed...let us know when your DROID takes that "last call"..

i dumped my samsung galaxy Y in the back yard of my home.
It did a lot of dishonor to me with issues all the time from the date of purchase.
After a big struggle for technology i finally set it free.
Samsung users have to get a new phone for every updated technology.:cool:

Sorry to hear of your cell phones Unreliability and its "out-back" planting... here a more "dignified" toomie that is on its way to you in a PM.

You can edit your post and plant this rock in LOT #30 (message #30) , then i will remove this one from my message..

(Your lot has been appended to the roster. See the "Show" tag in message #1)

Thanks.

None of my phones ever died. They were just retired.

My previous phone, the HTC Desire Z needed a battery transplant. I was unable to find one in time for my vacation, so I got a new phone instead. My Desire Z still works. Just not for very long.

The one before that was a Nokia N97. It was retired because it sucked. I brought it out of retirement a few months later as a music player due to its 32 GB of storage and FM transmitter. I can play my songs over any FM stereo. I used it in my old car and in my various stereos in the house. Pretty handy. My new phone took over the role of playing music over my car as it has BlueTooth. My old stereos didn't have that it is nice being able to play my music on them.

Ditto. None of my phones actually die. They are all in purgatory in a desk drawer. I change my phones so much I get a new one before the last is out of warranty. The only phones that made it past the 1 year of ownership were my HTC hero, and motor krzr. Working on my galaxy s2x. Warranty up in December. Its been almost a year already. My iPhone 4 never made it 4 months. Small boring and lame.

ha ha. My hero is out being charged as we speak and going to get a new custom rom. The blackberry pearl and HTC 640 do live in the drawer. The ip4 was sent to another user who travels and needed an unlocked phone. My g2x is unlocked and ready for our travels too.

Why noy stop by Shady Rest anyway......we uh, might be able to "expidite" the need for a sim-family plot?
