Ok, scratch that! It was more of an OH ****! moment. Stepped out of my unit to check an abandoned vehicle. Needed to place a sticker on it but give the owner ample time to move it so I reach in my unit and grab my trusty blackberry to check the calender.
I sticker the vehicle and head down the road when all of a sudden I hear a thud. I think I've hit something and slow down. As I turn the corner, my blackberry starts sliding down my front windshield and stops on the wiper. Thank God I have a rubber cover on it. That kept it from just flying off the roof. It rode on my lightbar for a few good miles.
MY brother has done that three times with three (expensive) different cell phone. I told him he can't handle the responsibility of having a BB. I'm glad yours is ok though.
that is definitely an OMG moment! Glad it didn't get hurt. When I was reading your post about hearing a thud I thought for sure you were going to say you ran over it! phew!
Worse I did while driving tow trucks was lay down when I had the speck case trying to hurry since it was a blocking accident and left it on the ground for a few mins. Saw it and was like SH** and picked it before I finished with the car.
Actually, the thud it made sounded like a distant gun shot. To top it off, I was passing a particular apartment complex we visit a lot. That's why I slowed down. I figured either I hit something or I was about to get a call over the radio of gunfire.
That's what I get for rushing. Trying to get out of this hot sun in a black uniform arghhh!
I had a similar experience back in the late 80's. I had the windows down and my good old Motorola Ultra Classic "Mini Brick" cell phone on the dash. Took a left turn and it slid right out the window! The only damage was a small crack in the LED screen and scuff marks on the leather case.
God I miss the electronics that could take a beating!
