My replacement battery arrived today. Excited, I opened the package and placed the battery in my phone, hoping some magic would occur and the Pearl would spring to life. It did not. I plugged the phone in to the charger and.... nothing.
My Blackberry Pearl is dead Dead DEAD!
I find this extremely annoying. The phone is less than one year old! And now it is a paper weight. I know the warranty will cover it, but I am annoyed that it should have died this quickly. I'm also annoyed at the fact I will probably have to wait for a replacement phone. I'm assuming the warranty will require my servicer to ship the phone off for repair. Ideally it'd be nice if I could walk in tomorrow, give them the dead phone, and they just hand me a new one as a replacement. But, somehow I doubt that will happen. Instead, I will probably spend another week living life as I did before I had a smartphone, which means no one's e-mail or snail mail addresses at my finger tips, no ability to look things up on the web when I'm out, and no ability to snap a quick picture of something. At least I have my sim card, so I can still call people on their cell phones. Still, not quite the same. Oh, and not only does the loaner phone lack a calendar function, there's no calculator. So I'm back to figuring out tax and tip in my head, which means I am likely to over tip since I'm not good at math in my head.
*sigh*
I hate to admit it, but maybe I should have gotten an iPhone and eaten the more expensive AT&T plan, as well as put up with a larger, heavier phone.
