Love You Berry Berry Much!

I’ve always dreamed of owning a Blackberry phone.  Mere weeks after purchasing an iPhone, my lust for Blackberry came back with a vengeance.  So hubby gifted me one for my birthday last year.  I was ecstatic!  He knows too well the long hours I used to spend online perusing websites for reviews and comparisons on Blackberry Smartphones.   I wanted it that much.  When I got my own, a Blackberry Bold, I immediately signed up for a suitable data plan.  And downloaded all my favourite apps…

Life was peachy.

And then my phone started acting up.  If you handle the phone with the slightest force it switches off on its own.  When it rings and I touch it, it goes off.  If I leave it idle for an hour or less, I’ll have to restart it before I can actually use it.

Consequently I was missing calls from hubby.  Which eventually got to his nerves.  Calling landlines is expensive and he likes calling me every five minutes when he’s on the road.

But I loyally put up with the crap for a little longer.  I love my phone!

My dear hubby wanted to sell it.  But I couldn’t let go of my sidekick.  I wouldn’t let go!

So yesterday hubby decided to sit down with my Berry Berry and investigate.  Something his lazy ass should have done months ago.  After all he’s a whiz in electronics.

And what do you know?!  With the help of my tweezer and a screwdriver he fixed it!

Apparently, something was loose.

Now I can throw my phone on the ground, or just hold it carelessly….and it’s still on!

Yay!!!

All I need to do now is to re-activate my data plan and I’m good to go…

Oh and the fancy Blackberry holster?  It’s back baby!
