Broken phone

I've had cell phones in their various types since 2001, and smartphones for the last 8 or so years. Never once have I broken or even damaged one. In fact when I sent a used one to a relative who needed one, they accused me of buying it new for them.

Nope. I just baby the things until they die of old age.

Until Monday. My record and my phone are one and the same: broken. After dozens of various falls and mishaps, this one tumbled from my hands and met the concrete, corner first.

The S7 edge screen isn't cheap to replace, and most shops won't even try because of the odd shape. I'm left with partially usable hardware, or a new phone.

Good thing my birthday is coming up.
