You must excuse me now sir. I must retire for the night as I'm due to have an early breakfast with a Mr. Sherlock Holmes. An excellent fellow, i must introduce you to at some point, a most incredible mind.

YAY, Dropped face first onto concrete, from about 90cm (3ft), dont ask for more details, to painful.

Hope this dunnit happen with my coming iPhone in Australia as it would be hard:D to return to the local store.

Taking back to repair center soon i will tell you if there is any luck getting a free replacement.:rolleyes:

OH NOES!

We were aussie thread brothers, waiting for our preorders to arrive together... i feel your heartbreak!

Good luck with the replacement. Of all the places to get a crack, thats not too bad a spot i guess.

Get yourself an invisible shield or something - might help it stay together/functional for longer.

By the way, youre from melbourne right? That's why you dont have dragons. They all hang out in the volcano near where i live...with the unicorns and fairies.

My Mighty mouse got clogged. Took it back to our good ol local Resseller, sent back to Apple, and got a new one free. Pretty happy with that.

I'll be off to feed George, my hungry pet dragon, they're much larger here on the east coast, too many convicts to eat… :cool:

since when has it ever been the manufactures fault or problem when you break something? It's not a manufacturers problem, you caused it by letting it fall to the ground. If i'm driving around the city and look look at some hot chick on the sidewalk and i slam into the car in front of me, is that suddenly the fault of the manufacture that i didn't put my foot on the break and use them like a normal person would? I can't say that i'm overly proud to be Australian, but you sir sure as hell aren't doing anything to change the views of other countries with silly opinions such as apple replacing your broken screen due to a fall.

newbies say the cutest things,

We're in the age of "Kevin 07"(our new P.M for al you other lot), we can do any thing under a commie! AND WTF are u driving some car around the city, use public transport, or are you too good for that?

ps (now talking to the wider population of the milky-way) do you think i should un-jailbreak it, before returning?

OMG yes. Do definately restore it. Then throw a bit of music etc on there so it doesn't look sus.

Don't take it in there jailbroken.

I'm sorry that you smashed your iPod screen. It's pictures like this that make me kind of terrified to own one in the fear of accidentally dropping it. For a pocket device that is meant to be carried around everywhere, you'd think they'd make them a little bit tougher. Why did they choose glass instead of plastic?

At times the British sent crims to all their colonies including USA, Carribean etc

Aus is the most well known for it though.

Sorry about your iPod
