    Yesterday afternoon I was out mowing the lawn with my trusty Priv in my front pocket like always. I had some bluetooth headphones on listening to music and all of a sudden the music stopped. When it didn't come back on after a few seconds I reached to check my phone which was not in my pocket where I left it. After a quick look around me it was no where to be seen and then I noticed a scattered pile of shiny, tiny bits about ten feet away. Needless to say though my Sedio Surface case was great it was no match for the 52" cutting deck and it's whirling blades of destruction.

    I'm back on my trusty Classic, currently a very pleasant, nostalgic experience, but one I'm sure will be all too short lived. I was very happy with my Priv but maybe this is the universe telling me I really needed to get the Keyone. Here's hoping for a timely release.

    Yesterday was full of anger, mourning, and more than a little embarrassment but a little time has cast things in a decidedly more humorous light.

    I totally just tried too list mine in the market. But I guess I have not posted enough. I bought an *cough* iphone se *cough* for running. I don't like to carry anything with me while running and my wife worries.

    Now that I can't post in the market I feel like it's a sign I shouldn't let go of my priv.

    As I was reading this, I was hoping that the outcome wasn't what you said it was. Sorry to hear about your Priv.

    The good news is that the Priv is at a great price point right now. Getting another one wouldn't be all that pricey. On the other hand, the keyone is right around the corner.

    It is definitely a win-win choice in my opinion.

    I'm glad it's getting so you feel a little humor in it (but still, it really stinks!!). If you don't mind my curiosity, though, did the SIM card actually survive? I don't know why but little details like that are popping into my head as I try to imagine that awful scenario...

    The Sim did not make it or at the very least I couldn't find it. I made a trip to the Verizon store to pick up a new one first thing this morning.

    This has taught me a lesson. I need to get a backup device. Having a classic as a backup wouldn't be a bad idea.

    The lesson it taught me is a bit more direct - do not mow!!! Never mind with a device in the pocket!

    So OP, you're essentially saying that BlackBerry can't build a durable phone eh?
    At the very least I'd ask for a refund from the case manufacturer.

    You'd better check the pocket on those jeans while you're contemplating your next device.

    My wife suggested that if I were to buy a nice new shiny KEYone, that I should also invest in a more secure means of carrying it than my pocket, between laughs as I relayed the story.
