My finger is on the trigger...

[AggieDave 6]

And my cell phone is at the end of the barrel. I swear to god I want to shoot this god damned thing!

I'm trying to get it to just charge, that's all I need it to do is charge so I can have a working phone for a little bit. Then I can call up and get the insurance added to my plan. Then in a week or two I can get a new phone. Either that or I have to some how make it till mid-august before I can get another phone for a decent price on my plan.

I'm super happy with the phone service, this phone just sucks. I've had this Sony Ericson T616 for nearly 2 years now and as time goes on its just falling apart. Its hard as hell to get it to even charge, the hands free is 100% worthless...atleast it has a small foot print.

The bummer is this is my only phone, I have no land-line, can't really afford to pay that per month and is cheaper for me to simply have a cell phone. This really is the achelle's heel to that idea...when the phone starts to crap out.

So help me god, one more week and I'm blowing this god damned thing away.

The question is should I use .45, 9mm or 12-gauge?

That sucks man. However i do have some nice footage of what a 22-250 Nosler Ballistic tip does to a Nokia at approx 3900 fps.

Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.

step away from the phone nothing to see here...Hey if you are in a city, sometimes, the phone company will give you a lender until your new one comes in. I know in Atlanta they do. Try it

Strap that sucker to a bottle rocket or better. You're a redneck Texan. I'm sure you've blown up a toad or two. The phone can't be any harder, just doesn't have the soft tissue or a mouth. Use your imagination Dave.

Bwahahahaha!

Right.

Well, we're still ranked higher this year going into the season then last year. It should be a fun year for football.

Now, back to the phone. I'm going to the Cingular store tomorrow and telling them I would like a new phone, even a cheap phone, or I'm going to switch services. I've reached that point of frustration.

Is it a Cingular phone? If so then I may very well take you up on your offer.

Tomorrow I'm going in to get my way, I'll see if it happens or not, hopefully it'll happen and they'll square away a new phone for me.

Get a Motorola V 551. So far I have thrown mine into water, thrown it into a fire, and dropped it numerous times and it still works and even looks just fine! Pretty tough phone.

[Zenister 0]

not charging is the battery, not the phone... two years is kind of short to build up a memory, but get a new battery before you shoot the phone...

ps.. if you DO shoot the phone get video.... I vote for the skeet pull and shoot... your a texan, you should be able to hit it in the air from a hip draw right?

One of the guys at my DZ JMed me on a load and forgot to take his mobile phone out of his jeans. It fell out as soon as he left the plane, and once he found it later that day, it was still working

none of the above...

AR-15 at 50yards, if too close you could get hit by phonel (shrapnel from phone)

OR

you could buy a new battery. They die after about 2 years. I keep a car charger in my car as well

Its not really the battery not charging, its the phone not recognizing the charger, then recognizing it and trying to charge for 5 seconds, then not recognizing it for 15 seconds, then recognizing the charger for 5 seconds, etc.

I've left it "charge" over night and now have 1/4 of a battery level.

Great idea,never shot one but I did run one over. I was out 4-wheelin with a friend and the old g-friend kept callin,callin,callin,wellya get the pic,so out pure aggravation, not to mention a "couple" of beer and prompting from above friend. I placed it in front of a 38 in. Gumbo Monster Mudder and stomped the gas and pop the clutch. The phone became part of the rooster tail,when we picked up what was left and when we got back turn it into insurance,new phone on the way,it was a accident. Right?

My suggestion is to hand it off to your local BASE crew. Have them take it to their favorite local crane and have them drop it over pavement. Get it on video top and bottom. Just make sure there are no passers-by who might get injured due to flying bits.

Great fun. Like Dave Letterman's watermelon drop, only better!

Damn Dave, I feel your pain.

It looks like you adopted my problems that I was having with my phone while I was out there. My car charger had a short. The electric charger has issues. The battery is iffy at best. We ordered a new car charger for me, but not realizing that I would be out there for 3 weeks instead of 1, we shipped it to GA instead of picking it up.

MAN, by Monday and definitely by Tuesday on my ride home, I would've given you MY phone to shoot too.

But I hooked up the new car charger this morning and the phone seems to be holding a charge now.

Have you considered the old theory of "resetting" the memory on the battery? You wrap the battery thoroughly and then freeze it for a few hours. Then you thaw it. Make sure it's dry and then give it a recharge.

I took it to the local shop and they played with it for a while. The port is bad for the charger on the phone. So, they set me up with insurance and said "give it atleast 24hrs and call this number, they'll send you a new phone."
Sweeeeet.

So I'm not quite so pissed off now, just slightly annoyed and hopeful.

That's excellent, Dave!!!!
I went to Sprint in person and talked to them about my "insurance." The guy gave me a phone number and said that I had to deal with it over the phone, not in a store. They would charge me $50 for replacing the phone and then he didn't know what phone. Whatever happens to be available. I guess I am going to cancel that plan. For what I have paid for it, I could have bought several phones right now.

Does this mean we're not going to see video of you shooting yours now?
