A True Crackberry
Published by Toronto Mike on July 31, 2010 @ 19:23 in Technology
I left my Blackberry in its case on our team's bench the other night during softball. An opposing player hit a foul ball that landed right on my poor Curve.
The result is a true crackberry. The Blackberry is still fully functional, but you'll see the glass screen has been totalled.
I understand the warranty, which has long expired, doesn't cover such things. Before I drop by a Rogers store to hear what they have to say, does anyone know if they have to replace this phone or can I just get a new screen?

As you know i have worked in the industry for 10 years. For the most part, fixing something like this is usually more expensive than getting a replacement, which is usually decent with a 3 year renewal. This is contingent on the fact that you are eligible for renewing and receiving heavy discounts on the device. If it is corporate owned, as i know it is, than the term to be eligible for new devices with discounts is usually between 12 and 18 months. At least that is the case with the company i work for.
Check with your telecom guy at work and he'll ask his Rogers Rep about it and let you know.
