So, here's the story:
I got up pretty early this morning. Was quite excited about Ven's graduation, so I put on the new hoodie & new pants, which got very shallow side pockets. Put my mobile there anyway, like I always did, but made a mental note to self to watch out & not let it drop.
However, by the time got to my bike I'd forgotten all about it.
Just like any other day, I got on my bike & started driving to work. It's a 6~7km drive, not that far away. If driving fast, I can get to the office in 10min. But I got nothing to rush for this morning & the weather was very nice, it's sunny & refreshing, so I just relaxed & sit back.
I was 2km from the office, getting off the Sai Van Bridge, making the big "S" turn at the end of it. Just when I finished the turn, saw from the corner of my eye something white dropped out of my side pocket & felt it too. Right at this moment, I then remembered my mobile was sitting dangerously in the shallow side pocket the whole time.
Wasn't sure if I was more amused or terrified. I contemplated just leaving it there, just forgot about it, I was going to buy a new mobile anyway. But I love my 6110n & actually need 2 mobiles. So, I pulled over 10m from the spot, got off my bike & walked back there.
Since it's still early, the traffic was not very busy, but it's still kinda scary. Watching out for traffic, I started to collect what's left of my mobile. And started to feel the adrenaline acting on my body.
I was flying high on adrenaline, body shaking the rest of my way to the office.
I told my colleagues what happened, & borrowed a Sony Ericsson mobile to take pictures of my 6110n. They almost laughed their asses off.
Now, go back up there & look carefully at the pictures.
Have to tell you, during the process of collecting pieces of my 6110n, I saw cars running over all of it. EVERY. SINGLE. PIECE. I swear to God. There's the main body, the rear cover & the battery. And nothing was broken, not really "broken" broken, just scratches here & there. But I meant they fucking got RUN OVER by cars, like Toyota Harrier/Corolla, Honda Accord, BMW 323i, etc. Still, the screen looked intact, the camera looked ok, & the battery looked pretty good. It's amazing.
What's even better: IT WORKED!
After taking pictures of it, I started to put it back together & was quite excited about it. I waited anxiously for its start-up, it blinked & came back to life! Then I tested everything, except mobile internet, but that was later.
So, tests results:
Key pads - Good
Screen - Good
Speaker - Good
Phone call - Good
Camera - Fairly good
Internet (3.5G) - Good
I haven't tested the GPS yet, it usually worked very slowly, seldom used it.
Anyway, my 6110n survived the disaster, it's UNBELIEVABLE!!!
I'm thrilled & head-over-heels in love with it :D
I now wholeheartedly believe that Nokia makes the toughest mobile phones in the world.
I love you Nokia & will forever stay with you.
