R.I.P. Treo

It's been over 3 years and my treo has served me well but it finally died. The first year I took extreme care. The second I was still careful with it, but this last year it has taken a beating. Lost my case, then dropped it a couple of times on accident, then I left it on our bumper and my wife drove off and I didn't realize it for awhile. I found it shredded, but put the pieces back together again and voila! It fired up for me and helped me keep my life organized. I had to end up using super glue to keep the thing together this year and while it looks like someone took a cheese grader to the top of it, it still worked hard for me.

Then it started to happen last fall - the screen started to disintegrate. It would disappear and act all wonky for a couple of days than it would magically resurrect itself and hum along just fine. As soon as I thought everything was ok, it would happen again. I put up with it for a few months out of my loyalty (or not wanting to plunk down the cash on a new phone)- nevertheless it finally started to drop calls while in conversation and disappear at the same time and then it would not turn back on. So sad. Rest in peace treo! The story does have a happy ending as I finally had a nice excuse to pick up my long-awaited iPhone!
