now that you have a broken Z30, can you dissect it and find out if the frame is metal or plastic? i dont even think the rocker buttons are metal anymore

I was trying to climb onto an apartment building balcony in the rain... and drunk, slipped and fell into a sort of concrete garden bed. Must have landed on the corner of the concrete by the looks of it. Received a nice cut on my forehead for my effort. The worst bit is that it was a bday present from my mum. She's staying with me at the moment. So instead of having to tell her how I broke it and see the disappointment in her face, I bought another one the next morning. $672. And I scratched my car driving into the car park. Worst. Weekend. Ever... so far.

At least you have a brand new Z30?

Relax, last month I wrote off my 26000 pound car. It was a Friday and that was a BAD Weekend.

Wow. Emotionally painful to even think about.
On the positive side, I have heard lots of stories of "worst days ever" that became positive turning points. Consider yourself fortunate that you have a mom who would (and could afford to) buy you a great phone like that, and consider this a life lesson about the stupid things that can happen when you drink too much. Better a broken phone than a broken neck, or driving your car into oncoming traffic.
OK. I'm off of the soapbox. Seriously, glad you're OK and hope you have better fortunes with the new phone.

Wow. You're an amazing technician if you are able to fix it.

I'll buy it off of you. PM me.

That is one heavy car

Loss in translation. I think you caught it though.

[eldricho]

Is that the new BlackBerry Curve Cracked Design I see there?

Joking aside, good to hear you came off with minor damage to yourself

Consider this: Your Z30 saved you...from having a small rectangular part of your **** reconstructed.

650 dollars for a new Z30 or...65,000 dollars for surgery. Consider it a win for your wallet, and your @ss.

Man... I feel for you!
I guess if you have to drunk... just don't drink and fly!

[anon(2729369)]

Send it to me

[jonno_atamaniuk]

OP... I will admit, at the sight of the photos, I had a tear in my eye. The life of such a beautiful device, extinguished far too soon. It is in a better place now, and will live on in hearts and memories.

On the plus side, at least you walked away from that one yourself. It could have gone far worse.

But does it still work? LOL

[Mark LeGear]

Lucky it was just the phone and not your life. Might want to reconsider your lifestyle a little. Next time you might not be so lucky.

I'm not sure if I can yet, the wound is still fresh...

[RADEoN1337]

Wow. You're an amazing technician if you are able to fix it.

i can get a new LCD and glass for it for around 115-130 bucks (you probably won't be able to find it cheaper). I can heat and bend the chassis back to straight-ish. Throw a protective case on it, and you won't be able to tell it's been mangled unless the case is off.

I'm more interested in seeing if I can fix it than anything else.

[the_real_mikeyb]

The back plate looks pretty much in tact: well done blackberry!!!

I would bet it's at least no.4 stainless steel.

is the appearance it gives. much like the bold 9900



that picture is what leads me to believe it's stainless, seeing as how there was enough for the buttons to separate but not break, plus no sign of breakage in the perimeter where it twisted.

Was everyone ok? Is that an ambo in the background? Unfortunately, I too know the pain of writing off a car. $55,000. Luckily that was insured, still lost over 5g in excess fees though. And a mate broke a rib.

[rykenryken]

But does it still work? LOL

The only thing I wanted it to do after that was to be able to connect to the computer so I could back up everything. But it doesn't do anything

[cbdwolff7]

He now has a new curve!! Sorry had to say it

[boombats]

On the bright side, it's another Z30 sold

Sorry for your loss mate

[Unbiased Tech]

A tear came to my eye when I say the pics. I will hold my Z extra tight today. I will hug it and squeeze it and I shall call it George....

Posted via CB10

Lmao I always hold my Z10 tight. Even with a case

Lol that's a good business strategy. Every 3 months we will all break our phones and buy another BB to give them their quarterly numbers
